July 10th
Due to noise pollution concerns, the dorms are separated in distinct ships
orbiting the main stations, in such a manner that its relative altitude spirals
inwards the latter when courses start. On the 10th of July I 100 Y, a con-
cerning incident occurred concerning students Khiskandrai GH., Omari F.,
Christopher H. & Gháysha D. of dorm xiv, respectively graduates in applied
mathematics, phonotactics, experimental philosophy & pure mathematics.

Should have been introduced earlier, but it means Extra-Vehicular Activity, colloqui-
ally named spacewalks. Stands as a shorthand for extra-vehicular activity beyond any
appreciable planetary atmosphere.

The incident has since been reported to be caused by cosmic rays, re-
sulting in a bit of a single flip in the navigation calculations of the dorm,
switching the sign from positive to negative in the speeding result − no, we
will not start using Mentats. Despite its rare occurrence, it did happen even
long before space exploration was even a possibility.6,7,8 Although it has be-
come much more of a concern in outer space, these past experiences helped
engineers prevent these bit flips, to the extent it has brought an even lower
rate of expectancy than on Earth − mainly due to Earth being much less
concerned by cosmic rays’ electronic side-effects. In spite of all the extra
precautions, and the now astoundingly slim chances, incidents like these do
happen. This happened precisely five times in the I.O.C.’s lifetime before,
but none else were this critical.
the use of the provided spacesuits for admittedly personal reasons. No further
detail was provided, especially due to crewmate Omari F. who kept yelling
“Too much information !” when any bit of conversation seemed to go in that
direction.

A raft sang the part startled with wind. Dull were the shadows at bay,
although cleansed by the fright. A tickling silence that unraveled the bor-
ough, inducing the urns to bloat and withstand suave plight. Due to fleets
departing, where are the birds now ? Here and the past, they say. The will
of the few manage the soundness of the clan. Seems like in the end.
Chris prepares the dinner, as he always does. The rest of the crew is
discussing various topics. “Supper is ready !”, he joyously exclaims. Rare is
a group of friends so joyful, even in this utopian setting. Omari has never
been emotionally distressed again, ever since she met her friends. Gháysha
has never been any more quick-witted and comprehensive. Chris has never
been so central. They have never been like these. No one ever was, yet
so did everyone. This group has never been more unfree. Never been any
more fabricated. A raft sang the part startled with wind. Prorsus cred-
ibile est, quia ineptum est. See ! There was, in fact, something to take
away. We all matter. So do you. When ifs hate you, hate them back.
As much as you (should) hate upfront fourth wall breaks. − Chris†
