Tamsin's Teasy Tuesday

"Good morning Ladies, Gentlemen...and Ray! I must say that I am very, very, very disappointed in you all. After last week's apparent return towards high rates of exploration you seem to have slipped back. Just 6,130 parsecs of exploration over the past seven days."

"That really isn't good enough if we are to achieve our current pledge of 85,989 parsecs - we currently stand at 70,264 parsecs. Doing some quick sums, I believe that means we will need to explore an average of 1,210 parsecs per day between now and the end of this exploration."

"Thank heavens for Team Tuesday's big-hitters. We have several exploration reports lined up already for today:

• Lady Sarah introduces another member of her Star Yacht crew
• TashaH distributes grub while conducting a whistlestop tour of planets
• MartinC is alive, despite the worst efforts of the Wuhan Plague, and dropping points-bombs in the back of beyond
• SanderS tells of his escape from the clutches of giant robots and gets very, very dusty in the desert
• ArthurS brings his exploration to a close
• ChrisW promises another mega-report

...and there may be further reports coming in later on."

"Announcements from the Station Master:

1. A reminder that we have been granted a 24 hour extension to our Exploration Warrant for this quadrant. All reports must now be submitted by Midnight on Sunday 20 March.
   
   
2. From Sunday 13 March until the end of this trip you will be able to submit your exploration reports for publication on any day. The Stewards will maintain their duty days for processing them.

..and that seems to be it."

Toodle-pip!
