Ah. Some of my experiments were temperature sensitive and most did not survive with the air-conditioning breaking, despite multiple attempts to stop their disintegration. That is extremely unfortunate but gave some interesting insights to the range of conditions that they are stable in.

Genichirou, when you return from expedition, we will have to discuss implementing a back up system in the labs, to keep it separate from the base's system.

Renji - while Genichirou is away, I will be monitoring your exercise regime to ensure that you don't spend the two weeks pinned to Command checking on the expeditions.

I have been busy looking over the large number of applications for people who wish to come out to Izanagi to work with me in the Chemistry team. As expected, the special merit award has drawn some attention from the scientific community. The UEA has requested my chosen 5 shortlisted candidates in the next round of communications, for them to arrive at Izanagi on the earliest possible shuttle.

I will have to consider the various specialities amongst the applications and the best combinations for research potential moving forward.



Renji, do you have any requests for books to add to your collection?

Preliminary experiments were run on the test subject Dr Oshitari Yuushi over the course of 5 days to measure the impact of factors that may influence his work output, in the interest of making the Science division more efficient over the next 5 years.

His work productivity was measured in one hour segments across the entire working day by recording the average words per minute for his typing during that hour. While there were limitations to this methodology due to Dr Oshitari not always being at his desk for the entire hour, further tests will be conducted based on these preliminary results. I hope to consider the actual contents of his work in future tests.

The graphed results can be seen below in Figures 1 and 2:


Dr Oshitari saw a significant spike in his WPM by 100%, an effect that was sustained as an increased output for the next four hours with a steady decrease back to his usual output of approximately 50 WPM.  This trend continued across all five days with the effect increasing throughout the week.

His least productive time was between 0800 - 0900, likely due to lack of sufficient caffeine absorption. Further observation will need to be done to record the exact time of his first caffeine intake, to account for this. His most productive time was consistently from 1200 - 1300. Adjustments could be considered for his working hours with this in mind.

At 1230 everyday, Ensign Sanada Genichirou came to the science labs in order to help with the installation of equipment and upgrades to the lab. The impact of his presence on the data collected is still being considered.

I am looking forward to the first group of mining site builders to return, so that I can receive more samples to analyse and also continue my studies of Dr Oshitari. Unfortunately the presence of Genichirou in the first round of testing consistently at 1230 means that at least for now, I should keep him as a control. Thank you in advance for your cooperation, Genichirou.

I have catalogued the cargo that arrived with me in the trip over.

If each person eats one 100 g serving of red meat a day and combines it with a 150 g serving of chickpeas to achieve the requried recommended intake of protein; given the current size of the Yomi base, our red meat and chickpea supplies should last 3 months. I have already placed in another requisition order for more red meat and chickpeas to arrive in a timely manner two days before this supply is finished.

The shipment also includes significant amounts of staple foods, with a large supply of tea.

Engineering - the pallets of metal and parts I assume are for you.

There is also a significant amount of wedding gifts for Yanagi Renji and Sanada Genichirou - Kyoujyu, while this goes against my data, congratulations on your marriage and on being unpredictable for once.

My name is Inui Sadaharu. I look forward to working with you.
