Here she is, the FRV Sophia. Today was a whole pile of the unexpected:

She’s a much smaller ship up in person. The pamphlet made her look a lot bigger. That being said, she was very densely packed, yet with a surprising amount of maneuvering space once inside.

She’s clearly not a local vessel, but an Enochim one [fancy that] with what seemed like quite a few adjustments. The engineer was rather busy so he just blurted out that she was ‘retrofitted to the gills’.

I’ll be sharing my quarters with a geologist who’s patron institute has fronted the remainder of the expedition costs. Seems like the Captain was able to find the only other scientist willing to go in person to our end goal. I think I look forward to meeting her, I’ll find out soon enough.
