Time Cruisers, tomorrow's expedition to the coordinates Shirley identified is our most ambitious yet. The Flying Time Vessel modifications have been tested and appear stable, but we must remain vigilant. Each of you has your assigned tasks. Rest well tonight and report to the lab at 0600 hours. The temporal window for optimal departure is narrow.

Looking forward to our big adventure, duuuuudes! Just finished the final calibrations on the flux hat-pacitor. My father's chief engineer was seriously impressed with the design, said it's years ahead of what their R&D department is working on. Not surprising, but still nice to hear!
Pretty wild to think that if I hadn't stepped in to help with the museum loan of Majisto's hat (my uncle on the board of directors owed me a favor), we might still be washing hover-cars for credits. Some might say I'm the MVP of this mission before it even starts!

the flux hat-pacitor is working because of the modifications i made to the coupling system, not because of your "revolutionary design." and dr cyber arranged the hat loan through official ministry channels. your uncle just expedited the paperwork.
final systems check complete on my end. navigation is locked onto shirley's coordinates. timestream stabilizers at 94% efficiency, which should be sufficient.
anyone else feel like they're coming down with something? there's definitely a bug going around school. maniac, you looked a little pale today. maybe you should stay home tomorrow. wouldn't want you getting sick during the mission.

All artifact data has been uploaded to the onboard computer. Translation matrix is ready for any Zotaxian text we encounter. I've prepared reference guides for everyone with basic symbol recognition patterns.
According to my calculations, we should arrive approximately 47 years after the ship's crash. That should give us enough time for most radiation to have dissipated while preserving the technology in recoverable condition.
The projected location is in a pocket dimension adjacent to established Space Age coordinates. Everyone remember to maintain temporal protection protocols at all times.

BANANAS BANANAS BANANAS! INGO IS THE GREATEST TIME CRUISER EVER! DR CYBER LOVES MONKEYS! BANANAS!

And Ingo strikes again! Dr. Cyber really needs better password security.
Seriously though, I've finished packing all the recording equipment and sample collection kits. Translation matrix is synced with my personal database of known Zotaxian glyphs.
Anyone else notice the INTENSE staring contest between Tim and Maniac during the briefing today? I thought one of them was going to spontaneously combust! Almost as entertaining as watching Shirley pretend not to notice!

RIGHT?? The tension was so thick you could cut it with a pizza slicer! 😂 Poor Shirley was buried in her notes pretending the room wasn't about to explode!
Can't believe we're actually doing this! A crashed Zotaxian ship! If we find any propulsion tech, pizza delivery is going to get a serious upgrade!

I apologize for the previous message. Ingo has been restricted from the communications console and has lost banana privileges for the evening.
Miguel, while your contributions have been valuable, remember this is a team effort. Each member plays an essential role.
Timothy, I assure you that Miguel is in perfect health. All Time Cruisers will participate as assigned.

Don't worry, Tim - I'm feeling GREAT! Wouldn't miss this expedition for anything. My personal physician gave me a clean bill of health just yesterday. Top physical condition, as always!
Shirley, your coordinate calculations are impressive. Almost as impressive as how focused you've been all week! I've never seen anyone so dedicated to a project.
Jonesey and Pepper - what's so funny? Some inside joke I missed?
Can't wait to see everyone's faces when we find this ship. My father might even feature our discovery in his company's next press release - with Dr. Cyber's approval, of course. Think of the publicity!

great. so glad you're feeling well maniac. truly.
pepper - triple check the plasma rockets before launch. they were running hot during the test flight.
shirley - amazing work with those coordinates. couldn't have gotten this far without your pattern recognition skills.
everyone remember emergency protocols. if something goes wrong, priority is getting back to the vessel. no heroics.

ALL SYSTEMS PREPARED FOR EXPEDITION. FLYING TIME VESSEL FUELED AND READY FOR DEPARTURE.
WARNING: WEATHER FORECAST INDICATES POSSIBLE THUNDERSTORMS TOMORROW MORNING. RECOMMEND EARLY ARRIVAL TO AVOID DELAYS.
INGO HAS BEEN SECURED IN CONTAINMENT HABITAT WITH APPROPRIATE FRUIT RATIONS. BANANA ACCESS RESTRICTED.
SYSTEM NOTICE: FORUM WILL UNDERGO STANDARD MAINTENANCE FROM 02:00 TO 04:00. ALL USERS PLEASE LOG OUT BEFORE THIS TIME.

Plasma ricjets double-checked and cooling system enhanced, Tim! We're good to go!
Everyone sleep tight! Tomorrow we make Time Cruiser history!
(And maybe Maniac and Tim can continue their staring contest on the ship. I brought popcorn!)
