Log#28-08:40TTZ *** Took a couple of days to sleep and mosey around the station, outside my suit, for a change. As much as the suit's a literal life preserver when living on the moon, it feels good to move around without it, from time to time. Atmospheric oxygen is non existence, but station's quarters are pressurized. *** Previous night was rough - hard work for nearly 2 days straight. *** Feeling rested, got into my suit again and went outside to take a lung full of the figurative *fresh air* and this is what i see: This juggernaut of a ship, roaming way to close to the station for comfort.  Fortunately they didn't pose an immediate threat, as they didn't engage. Hopefully just a trade ship. Still, i am not risking these encounters for much longer. Without proper defenses, if a ship was to start shooting down at the station, i would be helpless; unable to retaliate. This is unacceptable. I need to protect the station. *** Good morning Europa; you freezing, icy rock!  Feeling fully rested now. Will spend today finishing up the grinder pit. Grinder pit's cover needs rework; hinges are not centered; it's lids' weight is offset and possible problems on the hinges might occur. Defenses will have to wait until after. *** Another near-24 hour work schedule. Worked through the day, and into the night. Just a few hours until the sun comes up, but i've finished work on the grinder.    *Grinding pit* status is functional and completed - for now - if improvements are needed, will get back to it. *** Fell asleep in my suite again, inside the *Buzzer*, while waiting for day light to strike the solar panels installed, and charge the depleted batteries.  *** A few more RLS on the completed structure and then i need to catch some more z's before i start planning the defenses for the station. Sleeping outside the base, inside a cockpit is not a resting experience.         *** As for defenses, i'll need to configure them correctly; i don't want them shooting unless the station is attacked first. A simple conveyor system to keep them loaded with ammo. Might need to do some mining for minerals for the ammo. I'll need to check. *** End.Log#28 On Europa
