Tom wanted something a bit different from our normal logs. Thought I'd try this, though you may want to rework Sou's dialogue:
+++Curious signals overheard on comms

"Here we our trigger, the first stop on our journey, Betelgeuse."
"Where?"
"Where?! It's that giant star filling up your entire view!"
"Oh? Really? I was looking for a ghoulish fellow in a stripped jacket."
"Have you been mixing your drinks, again?"
"No, well yes, but no. I thought I'd look up the archives for where we were going. I admit I was confused why we were looking for a dead fellow called Beetlejuice..."
"Betelgeuse! It's a f*cking star you drunk moron!... Sorry, sorry I didn't mean to lose my cool, been under a lot of pressure lately. Shall we head down to that close orbitting plannet and get the scarabs out, I think a drive around would do us good."
"Sure, so long as there is no one with a breathaliser on them around here."
"Trigger, we are 500LY from the bubble, I think you are quite safe. Now don't forget to re-activate your shields.
Trigger, your shields.
Trigger.
Trigger!
Now that was a nasty one wasn't it? What did I just say?"
"Oops, sorry, forgot to activate my shields."
"You don't say..."
"It's ok, just a few dents and scratches, nothing that cannot be polished out when we next visit a station."
"Trigger, we are on an expedition going many thousands of light-years out from the bubble, there are no stations to pop into to fix your drunken mishaps. Please, for the love of Arissa, try to be careful for a change, won't you?"
