Hi Caspian, Lisa Anne, and Valentine,

I am very tired but I wanted to let you know what Raidar and I found out while measuring the station today.

Uncle Seth was busy looking up some information and talking to adults, so he didn't have time to go with me and Raidar, but he told Raidar to page him if we ran into any problems. Davi had other things she needed to be doing, especially with her Daddy here, and mommy is still trying to figure out what is wrong with Mr. Rasmussen. So my friend Alison came with me to do the measuring. She's 14.

We had to go through the Garden to get to the Tube station. It smelled a lot worse today. Dr. Martha had everyone looking for the sewer line that must have broken somewhere. She didn't look too happy.

While we were walking across the Garden, I remembered there was a question about what kind of power the station uses… Daddy has always talked about nanobots building the solar panels. I didn't think they were done yet. Dr. Martha thought they were half done. So she took us to go see Trey Bierce who is in charge of the generators to find out from him what percentage was from the power plant down stairs by the Ground Base and what wasn't. He said that 87 % was coming from the Solar panels now, and next week it would be closer to 95%. By June we would be able to also power the Ground Base too. I think that changes the answer to the first question on my quiz.

Dr. Martha couldn't go with us to measure the station, she said she had to go find out which toilet had backed up. So Alison and I rode the tube car down to Port Rosetta. One of the Stevedores, Jason, took Raidar out past the Airlock so Raidar could use his IR distance finder to measure from the hole the New Dawn comes through to the Air Lock door. One of the boss men told Jason to get back to work, but Jason said that they finished putting everything on the New Dawn before Christmas and it won't be back until after New Years Eve.

When I told Alison I had to find out what kind of storage media the station uses, she said she remembered it from a field trip she took to see the station computers. She said they use Digital Versatile Disc and blue lasers, but I don't see DVD and lasers as a choice on the test.

Anyway Raidar had his nose stuck to the glass in the tube the whole time we were riding it, so he could measure the stuff we were passing. Alison laughed and said that if there was an open window there, that Raidar would look like a dog with is head hanging out the car window!

Raidar measured right up to the door on the Environmental Department, and he said he had measured 4275m. There is a lot of special equipment in the Environmental section; I'm not allowed to go in there without Dr. Martha.

Lisa Anne, I like the Bobsey Twins too, but it has been a year since I got to read any of the books. The book Uncle Seth gave me different. I don't know why people would decide not to allow too many people to visit a country, but I guess the station is a lot like that. We can allow too many people up here all at the same time either or it will cause us to not have good water, and have to ration the food out until people don't get enough food to eat.

Raidar also wanted to tell Valentine: N mfaj st nijf bmfy ymj xrjqq rfd htsyfns. Nsktwrfynts xzuuqnji ymnx wjutwy jcujhyji fsxbjwx yt sjhjxxfwd vzjxyntsx.

I'm tired and need a nap,
Stevie


Since the message is to Valentine, I'll leave the decoding and posting to Lisa for now. Smile

 		Look at that PBTE connection. Very very interesting. The legal struggle would also be a matter of public record. Perhaps osmeone would liek to discover more abotu the egal battle and the Bronco family's connection to PBTE from Leon?

 		Hrm... Might have to toss another e-mail to Leon at PBTE. Who knows, might remember a "Brother Machina" asking about the Internet. I'll help try to pry information out of 'im.
