I got a brief long-distance glimpse of Betty on Thursday. She was walking around in her department and happened to pass the door while it was open. I didn't see her at all on Friday.
Last night, I celebrated Christmas early with Harry and Liz. They had family stuff going on the next few weekends, so we decided to exchange gifts early. I got them some movies on Blu-Ray, and they got me Iron Man on DVD and two PS2 games--Superman Returns and LEGO Batman. I tried both games last night, and I did better with Batman than Superman.
I also spent time with Harry and Liz today. Harry picked me up, and we went to see The Day the Earth Stood Still (the new version). Afterwards, we picked up Liz and went to a discount book store. I didn't see the book I was looking for, but they found some stuff they wanted. And now, more "David Trek" :
Personal log, 210812.13--The past few days have gone smoothly. We did more shuttle flight tests on Thursday. In the interests of being prepared, I had the crew replicate and store emergency food and water rations throughout the ship--in the escape pods, the shuttles, the crew quarters, and in the guest quarters. We also did some testing with our matter/energy conversion beam yesterday, siphoning off the matter in the asteroids and converting it into energy to use in our food/object replication devices. I had the engineering staff modify the energy storage pods for the devices to ensure that we could switch them out and swap them with the shuttles' pods. The pods in the ship's devices are connected to the matter/energy conversion beam, allowing them to be recharged directly. The pods for the shuttles aren't, so it might be necessary to swap the pods to ensure that a shuttle's replication device doesn't run out during a long flight after being used during other long flights. Today and tomorrow, we are completing our sub light maneuvering tests while moving into position for tomorrow's trip to our next destination--Saturn.
