Bah, humbug. Prepare for a grumpy bulletin. Your captain has a bad cold, her first since the beginning of the pandemic. The chief engineer managed to catch it from somewhere and pass it on to yours truly.
Sometimes I think we would all be better off living in space. Do you agree? No more nasty viruses except the ones we bring with us, and a thorough preparation process would weed them out.
On a happier note, frog spawn has appeared in the pond habitat. I promised a good pic in last week’s bulletin and if you scroll to the bottom you can see it. Very excited to see all the little tadpoles in a few weeks’ time.

Battle to save a doomed planet
When the Concordian colonists finally reached Earth after years lost in space they expected a short visit. All they needed was bio-material to reseed their world.
What they hadn’t anticipated was the arrival of the Scythians.
They learn the deadly aliens attacked the planet once before, devastating the burgeoning civilization. Now they’re here to stay.
Earth is weak. Humanity has barely begun to climb back to its previous level of development. The Concordians face a terrible choice: stick around and help in the effort to repel the invasion, or return home and save Concordia.
Each option carries its own risks, but with or without the Concordians’ help, Earth seems doomed.
Redeemer is book eight in the epic space colonization adventure, Space Colony One.
