"Planetcrack went smoothly from this end, although there do seem to have been problems planetside, and we've temporarily lost contact with the colony.

First rockball was extracted from the tectonics load approximately one hour after planetcrack, and has been processed, refined and smelted.

Results have exceeded even optimistic initial estimates. Normal recovery is around 35% mineral, 5% fossil, 60% waste, but material from the first ball was 65% mineral (and 0% fossil, in line with expectations). That's 6.5 tons of ore from a 10-ton ball. Resuming, it's not an anomaly, we've hit a motheriode."

==Personal Journal==

** Plant the Beacon

"I need to secure the SOS Beacon to the asteroid. Once the asteroid is launched, the beacon will clear the Ishimura's navigation array, and it will be able to broadcast a clear signal."

** Destroy the Gravity Tethers (we have 4 to destroy)

"Mined asteroids are held in place by gravity tethers beams. I need to disable all of them in order to launch the asteroid away from the ship. A clear shot past their outer casing should do the trick."

** Launch the Asteroid

"The beacon's in place! Just need to get to the Control Room and launch the asteroid off the ship."

** Go to the Bridge

"The beacon's on its way, broadcasting loud and clear. Now we cross our fingers and hope someone picks up the signal. The chances are slim, but it's our only hope. Kendra says there's something wrong with the Communications Array, which means if someone tries to reach us, we can't hear them. Got to get back to the Bridge and fix it."
