Admiral,

In response to the recent environmental failure in storage bay Beta-A333 and subsequent unavailability of cold brew in food courts Alpha, Charlie and Delta, I have undertaken a quantitative content analysis of the relevant food court comment cards. I have studied cards from a 24-hour period beginning roughly seven hours into the shortage. I’m afraid they paint a disturbing picture. Interpretation fragmentation over the environmental failure continues unabated.

Not only is Food Court Delta insistent that the storage bay was sabotaged to spite them, they vow they will find those responsible and bring them to justice for the good of the station. Food Court Charlie attributes blame to Captain Leota’s supposed incompetence and have demanded an investigation into the resulting “cover up.” Food Court Alpha is suspiciously quiet.

In an attempt to placate all groups, Captain Leota tasked Science with a brief yet thorough investigation. Unfortunately the division report leaked to the ENN and a spurious neutrino result from a scan of the storage bay was wildly misinterpreted as a warning about increasing entropy rates in and around the station cargo holds. In a fascinating example of recursion, several officers in the Science division have since adopted ENN’s interpretation of their analysis. Two have contacted Senator Vale’s office to file as petitioners under the Alliance Whistleblower Protection Act. Command strongly opposes this maneuver. Notably, Senator Vales’s offices are on the Promenade, Section Delta.

After exiled Arian 7 prince, Arule Delatro "Levi" Levithian III, gets fired as Saucier from Food Court Delta, he opens Chéz Levi. The 'gay cafe,' opened in Season 3, also transforms into a queer night club—complete with GoGo dancers, pink flamingos, and wet t-shirt contests. The very versatile, Nurse Jane is also known to guest bartend as a mixologist. Chéz Levi continues to grow in popularity and earns the reputation as a destination for night life on EOS 10.

That is it for now, Admiral.

Incidentally, caffeine is a socially acceptable drug among nearly all human cultures. So potent is its hold that wars have been fought over it, economies have collapsed without it, and at least one starship has diverted through a Class-9 nebula because the replicator was down.

I mention this only because the crew's morale appears to correlate with it more strongly than with shore leave, promotions, or survival. I intend to study the effects of aersolized caffeine on the crew and will report back. It seems a more efficient delivery mechanism than drinking. I will report back on the results.

In the meantime, have a cup of coffee, Admiral. I suggest cold brew, it seems relatively popular. If you can find it.

A previous reported noted the establishment of the Time Space Working Group. Captain Leota has tasked Lt. Commander Johns, chief of strategic operations, with command of the group. She has allocated working space and offices in the administrative core of the docking ring. The Lt. Commander’s first order of business, after filling staff positions, is to develop priorities for the UAS Wayfinder, currently circumnavigating the Void on an extend 5-year research mission.

Lt. Commander Johns says she’s hunting space dragons.
