4.0

I'd like to read this again. It was interesting, beginning to pick up on different characters returning to talk to "us" and provide nuggets of insight to the situation on the ship. The anonymity was an intriguing aspect, especially

once I got to the section I believe was orated by Dr. Lund

. While I know specificity was not the goal of this, sometimes I did wish for a little more, its sparseness was artfully chosen for sequences where characters admit to dreaming, but did not feel suited for the more violent sections.
