The deck cleared in good order today. Three survey-fit vessels departed under escort protocols, each carrying enough provisions for independent work once the carrier reaches the relay point.
Morale was steady. Most of the crews have flown together before, which matters more than people admit when the next reliable lights are several jumps behind you.
No incidents worth recording beyond the usual last-minute cargo reshuffle. For a departure this large, quiet is a kind of success.
