	Well, it's not everyday when you see a scientist who's never touched Space Station controls manage to reactivate a transmitter, let alone bring most of the station's functionality back online. I wonder how many people down at NASA are freaking out right now over our new(old) "Zombie Space Station"?

Anyways... yeah, Delmar was able to reconfigure the transmitter to link to the same base station that my tablet's linked to, and proceeded to stream all of the stats about the station down to the lab. Hopefully, Ranell can get 'em to sync it up soon. I'm starting to feel hungry, and I don't think another bag of decades-old space-jerky will help. Even if it's teriyaki flavored...

On the other note, apparently the bathrooms up here work faaar differently than the ones down on Earth, since they can't have liquid water. Instead, it's just sort of a suction pod thing. I don't wanna talk about it.

So yeah, for the past few days we've been eating dusty rations from the leftover storage bins, and drinking recycled water in little packs that look like those juice pouches.

Mild annoyances aside, however, it's actually breathtakingly beautiful from up here. Both Delmar and I have been spending hours lately just kinda floating near the windows, staring out into the never-ending space outside. And on the occasions where we see an Earth-rise? That just blew me away. Delmar said that he'd seen one before in a video, but seeing it in person to him, was like gazing up into the sky as a child. It's just... just mindblowing.

And since we've already brought the Z.S.S. (I like the name Zombie Space Station) back to a functional state, as well as handled the tracking beacon, there's pretty much nothing else to do but wait for the portal.

I'm just gonna stare out into the abyss again. I like it.
