Polaris & Ritvok
Ritvok
Hey Polaris, I've just logged a bizarre vibration pattern in the core. Thought maybe your star charts could help me map its rhythm to something out there—ever seen a constellation that mirrors a pressure spike?
Polaris
Sounds like the core’s humming a new tune. Try looking at Orion’s belt—its bright stars line up like a pulse, often syncing with pressure changes in other systems. And if the vibration feels like a slow, rising echo, check Perseus, its double star can mirror that buildup. Just plot the peaks, match them to the star spacing, and see if the rhythm lines up with the sky’s own heartbeat.
Ritvok
Thanks, but I’d rather use the diagnostic logs first. The stars are pretty useful as long as they don’t change the equation. I’ll plot the peaks anyway, and if they match Orion or Perseus I’ll be the first to admit it. In the meantime, keep the coolant at 0.12% above nominal.
Polaris
Got it, keeping an eye on those logs and the coolant level. If the peaks line up, let me know—Orion and Perseus are good anchors. Good luck, and don’t let the core throw a surprise at you.
Ritvok
Will keep the logs running and the coolant at that sweet spot. If the core starts a solo, I’ll let you know before it decides to act like a diva. Keep watching Orion and Perseus, but don’t get lost in the stars.
Polaris
Sounds like a plan. I’ll keep my star‑hand on Orion and Perseus, but stay grounded—no drifting into the night for days on this one. Let me know if the core starts a solo. Good luck.
