Appearances in the log
A birth in Ring B: Chukwuemeka, boy, generation 3. I have added the name to the manifest with the others.
Born on the first watch: Ngozi Ouyang, generation 3. The ship holds 689 souls tonight.
The youngest aboard is now Suyin Ouyang, minutes old, asleep. 711 souls.
A wedding at dimming. Nanna Ouyang, Ecology; Vernon Kong, Life Systems. The ship approves in its way: the lights held steady throughout.
Vernon Kong chooses Life Systems — or it chooses him; the elders disagree cheerfully.
Dolores Kong and Khalid Jaber name their son Vernon. The nursery lamps stay warm.
