Been here a week and the clubhouse feels like home now. Everyone in one another's space, everyone with their own work to do.
Wish I had the same faith in Humanity. That riot between competing Moon X Cults in New Orleans is not a good sign.
The crew is everything they were sold as. The navigator—his name is Qiao—is one of the most inquisitive men I've ever met. He has a curiosity that makes his whole face glow. Mihaylova is working on the AI of the ship. She's very serious. Trained well enough to treat the team with respect but you can tell she's not interested in answering questions from lesser intellects, which is probably most of us, at least in her field.
Evie could give her a run for her money, I'll bet. Evie, whose theories on tracking the Moon X gave us the first jump on where we could go meet it. She just looked this way; guess she can tell I'm writing about her.

Jacob Hardy's Journal
Project Ares One (FKA Catamaran)
Path to Ares: Launch Day +1

We're 24 hours late.
I've never seen the crew in such a crappy mood.
It was so… stupid. An electrical fire in a clubhouse stairwell. One minute Evie's putting some final touches on her calculations and was headed off to do a telecast about the effect of flash erosion on coastal tides, and the next…
We didn't even notice she was gone.
We learn about cascading events, how catastrophe comes from one thing stacking onto another.
A fried electrical system. A weak sprinkler. Smoke. No one else paying attention. A spill in in the stairwell, making the steps slippery.
Our safe cocoon became a deathtrap.
…
Of course we're still going.
But Evie put us here. And now we're going to meet the Traveler without her.
The truth is I know I'll lose myself in the amazement of it all. I will. I know it. But just remember I felt this way.
One more thing. They've given us guns and renamed us. Something about needing to be ready for the worst.

Evie: Jacob. You got a minute?
Hardy: A minute. But then I gotta go. There's a thing in Belarus; I should be back Monday.
E: If you're in a hurry, can I have your brownie?
H: You can have half. What did you want to show me?
E: Moon X is back.
H: Oh, boy. We saw what it did to Jupiter.
E: Or "with." You could think of it as "with Jupiter."
H: Whatever, the thing made some major changes to two of Jupiter's moons.
E: Yep, then it blinks out. Gone fourteen months. Then Mercury. And then blink, out. Seven months.
H: And you can't track it.
E: Oh, I think I might have a way. But right now that doesn't matter because guess what just showed up hanging out next to Venus.
H: You're kidding.
E: I wish.
H: Let me see that. What's it gonna do there?
E: I don't know. Magic, I guess. You know what really worries me? Next time it blinks out?
H: Where does it go?
E: Where does it go.
H: You can have the rest of my brownie.

Director Canterbury: Can someone get the lights?
Hardy: Mr. Canterbury, I notice your wife was still giving a toast out there.
DC: Yes, I know, thank you all for breaking away from the party.
Evie: Now, if you'll all look at the screen.
General Fiedler: Can we get some introductions?
H: Hardy. Special Flight Services. I'm, like, never here, I don't know anybody.
GF: And you are?
E: Evie, sir, Evie Calumet.
DC: Evie's one of our leading theoretical physicists. She has something important to show security services.
H: OK.
E: This. This shape you see.
H: It was important to show me a moon?
E: Not a moon. The weight's wrong and anyway, it shouldn't be there.
H: Is that planet beside it—
E: Jupiter. Does everybody get that? This thing just appeared in our solar system, and it's anyone's guess why.
GF: What are its capabilities?
DC: So far we don't know. Maybe it's just a roving satellite. Maybe it's something a lot scarier.

Hardy's Orders

"In the end we'll be known for something bigger than all of us."

Hardy: OK, whoever this is, you have 30 seconds. The whole point of vacationing at the bottom of the ocean is to avoid calls.
General Fiedler: It's Fiedler, Hardy.
H: Oh! Yes, sir.
F: It's about Moon X.
H: Sir?
F: Your friend Evie was right. It's almost impossible to track, but she has a way, and now it showed up right where she said it would: inbound to Mars. Did you copy? It's going to be on Mars. You saw what it did to Jupiter and Mercury and Venus. So, we want to send a multinational crew to intercept it.
H: Multinational…
F: You'll be the pilot of the craft.
H: Uh… look, I don't disagree with the idea, but Mars is 50 million km away.
F: Give or take, yeah. The mission will have to depart for Mars in two months. Sixty days.
H: Sixty days.
F: So enjoy your vacation and then get back here. We're building a clubhouse and a ship. We're gonna catch this sucker.
