CAPTAIN'S LOG Stardate 100738.9
Reyga is conducting a survey near the Renovamen Cluster. Despite moderate traffic around the cluster’s boundaries, there’s still a lot we don’t know about the interior. Gravimetric shear and stellar radiation reduce sensor resolution and disrupt long range communications. Flying through the soup is a real navigational challenge, so it’s been a good trial by fire for our new helmsman.
Our goal is to map a collection of stars near the rimward end of the cluster, and survey any orbital bodies discovered. Aside from the purely scientific value, the results of our survey may help widen the trade corridor between the edge of Renovamen and the Potter’s Field Anomaly.

Nothing of particular interest yet. It’s been slow going, scanning through this soup, and the turbulence has some of the crew on edge. Medical’s treated a few cases of space sickness, but I’ve been assured that there’s no risk to the ship itself, as long as stick to low warp and avoid the largest eddies.
We’re not expected to reach the next star until tomorrow afternoon, so most of the senior staff has gone off duty for the night. Personally, I’m planning on spending some time in the holodeck before turning in.
CAPTAIN'S LOG Stardate 100744.8
While exploring the Renovamen Cluster, Reyga encountered a strange anomaly that severely impacted the functioning of most ship systems.
Personally, I spent the time trapped in the holodeck, which apparently attempted to run multiple programs simultaneously. It was a … stressful experience. Luckily, the crew performed very well without me, successfully coordinating our escape. Systems have returned to normal and no damage was reported to the ship as a result. There were a handful of minor injuries, but nothing serious.
Strangely, when we went to study the anomaly, we didn’t detect anything at all. Suspecting that it may simply not be detectable, we slowly returned to our previous position and still found nothing. Whatever it was, it isn’t there anymore. Whether it was some kind of temporary effect that dissipated, or something that moved, is anyone’s guess.
