Let he who is without stress based psychosis cast the first stone, also we're going to have to set up a pretty well organized and staffed mental health/rehabilitation department ASAP.

What's the ETA on the strange matter reaching us again?

Sentence her to brig time, but commute that sentence for the duration of the current crisis, as this is an all-hands on deck situation, so that in the end she works normal shifts but for example returns to the brig for her sleep shifts.

Begin at B speed, but if the first few jumps don't elicit a visible reaction from the MESSENGERS slow it down to C speed.

TheCog: What was our rank at the time of Korma's insubordination vis-a-vis her CO that she shot? Did we outrank him or were we about equal. I'm wondering if it would make sense to argue that the station leader was in fact guilty of insubordination and Korma merely intervened to restore the chain of command.

Yeah, this is reasonable.

I hope this is still going on! For interest, here's a Cracked article spelling out why we need every person possible to make it with us for breeding purposes. Basically we need around 40,000 people to maintain genetic variability, it's doable with 10,000 and any less than that starts to court future disaster.

I'm not so sure about those numbers. You can have self sustaining isolated populations of people with only a few hundred members, and if you are willing to accept a little bit of social engineering (You can date/breed/marry from this pool of X people) you can cut your required numbers down pretty substantially. Less than 10,000 should be pretty easy to pull off.

A big part of these numbers is the initial genetic diversity, if you set off with a bunch of people who are similar your chances of success are much lower than if you actively screen for diversity.

I dropped out of genetics as quick as I could, so I'm just going by the pop culture website.

I do remember reading somewhere that a few hundred was good enough, but it's going to start looking pretty homogeneous pretty quick unless then genetic fuckery going on.

All on board for aggressive genetic tampering though.

A few hundred is workable in the long run if you have a good system of who can marry who that you keep to. Larger population numbers understandable make this way easier which is why at a certain point you can throw out the system because the likely hood of genetic relations continuously having kids throughout a few generations plummets.
