Today we stopped by the domicile of a distant relative of mine, the noble Lady Elizabeth McQueeg. Unfortunately, my great- great-…etc grandmother wasn’t there, at the time partaking in a deliciously elite social gathering in London. Ah, even thousands of years ago the McQueegs were the proverbial cream of the crop. The butler was gracious enough to let us in, as the night was quite stormy. In the hall, I was able to take this picture of a portrait of my dear grandmama.

Simply beautiful. The rest of the estate was also delightfully lavish, and I quite enjoyed the tour given to us by the butler. It is strange, for he reminds me of someone I know, but I can’t quite put my finger on it. When I asked Reka if she recognized the gentlemen she only gave a short snort and kept walking. Don’t know what had her in such a rotten mood. Here’s a photograph I took of the two, unnoticed of course.

All in all an evening well spent in my opinion, as we were even provided lodgings overnight. I hope to perhaps encounter dear Elizabeth as we leave tomorrow, as she was scheduled to return around that time.
End Transmittion.

Reporting on our recent acquisition of 100 tons of stock lumber as of 8 o’clock universal time. While passing through the 8,000s, we were lucky enough to encounter a free floating biosphere which had been abandoned since humanity found more convenient ways to produce oxygen than ridiculous air farms in space. Although the facility had become an overgrown carnivorous jungle, we were able to quickly dispatch any mutations and harness the remaining logs for our personal needs. Upon obtaining such a bounty I have considered paneling the entire ship with veneered wood, to give the place that air of decadence which it seems to be lacking. Have attempted to get Professor Baker’s opinion on the matter; but she seems to become surprisingly busy whenever the topic comes up. In the mean time, I have created several rations of wood to be given to every crew member and robot aboard the ship and to be included in their emergency kits. Here is the prototype design.

With clear instructions on what one should do in case of any wood-related emergency, this is by far my greatest stroke of genius. Surely the rest of the crew will come to appreciate it in due time. A direct transcript of the block is as follows.

In Case of Emergency:
1) This block of wood can serve as a tiny flotation device.
2) Can provide a two week supply of fiber.
3) Can provide temporary crime deterrent.
