LOG-92-0847
Cycle 45, 06:23 SST
Issue: Localized gravity fluctuation near table 7. Customer's coffee began orbiting their head.
Diagnosis: Harmonic resonance from Vox-9's morning playlist interfering with grav-plate calibration.
Resolution: Adjusted frequency dampeners. Requested Vox-9 avoid playing "anything with excessive bass" before noon.
Note to self: The grav-plates seem to like jazz. Consider permanent genre restriction.
LOG-92-0823
Cycle 42, 14:17 SST
Issue: Machine has begun producing perfect shots without input. Staff report it "knows" what customers want before they order.
Diagnosis: [PENDING] No mechanical explanation. Checked for AI contamination — negative. Checked for crystal resonance interference — inconclusive.
Current Status: Machine continues to function optimally. Perhaps too optimally. Customers are delighted.
Vox-9 insists they're "just friends" with the machine. I have questions.
LOG-92-0798
Cycle 38, 03:41 SST
Issue: Recycler producing oxygen with faint vanilla scent.
Diagnosis: Sugar crystal dust from morning harvest infiltrated intake vents.
Resolution: Installed additional filtration. Cleaned ductwork. Reminded Grath that "the crystals want to be everywhere" is not a valid excuse.
Honestly, the vanilla air was kind of nice. Don't tell Luna I said that.
LOG-92-0756
Cycle 33, 22:08 SST
Issue: New crystal formation detected. Formation was not present during previous survey (3 cycles ago).
Observations: Formation appears to be growing toward the main Station structure. Crystal composition matches starlight-infused variants but with unknown spectral signature.
Additional Notes: Grath reports hearing "singing" from this sector. I did not hear singing. I heard... something else.
DIRECTIVE: Monitor only. Do not harvest. Do not approach without authorization. Report all observations to Luna directly.
The asteroid is doing something. I don't know what. But I think it's been doing it since before any of us were born.
LOG-92-0712
Cycle 27, 11:34 SST
Issue: Oven refused to bake bread. Produced only cakes. Excellent cakes, but only cakes.
Diagnosis: Variable gravity field had developed a preference. (I know how this sounds.)
Resolution: Complete recalibration and firmware reset. Also had a "conversation" with the oven. It's complicated.
Pippa asked if she could keep the "cake mode." I said I'd think about it. The oven seemed pleased.
LOG-92-0689
Cycle 23, 19:55 SST
Purpose: Quarterly analysis of the Infinite Coffee Pot to determine operational parameters.
Findings: Still violates thermodynamics. Still produces infinite coffee. Still improves with age. Still delicious.
Theoretical Notes: Current hypothesis involves localized time dilation and crystalline quantum entanglement with source beans. This hypothesis explains nothing and I've accepted that.
When I built this thing, I was half-asleep and running on expired stim-patches. I have no idea what I did. Some things are better left mysterious.
LOG-92-0654
Cycle 18, 02:22 SST
Event: At exactly 02:22 SST, all sugar crystals on the Station briefly illuminated simultaneously. Duration: 3.7 seconds.
Witnesses: Myself, Grath (on patrol), Vox-9 (never sleeps).
Effects: No damage. No system alerts. Customers (few at this hour) reported "feeling warm."
Analysis: No cause identified. Grath said the asteroid "was saying something." Vox-9 recorded the event but the audio file is "corrupted in a melodic pattern."
Luna was awake. She wasn't surprised. She smiled and went back to bed. I don't think I'll ever understand this place completely. Maybe that's the point.
