Captain's log: Day 936 of sickness

Today marks day 936 of the illnesses that have continued to affect our crew, or so I believe. I can't be sure as all the days and nights have begun to run together, with crew members waking regardless of the sun's position. The sicknesses appear to have started when one of the young crew members began to visit a strange and new location where germs gather and find hosts: preschool. Though we have identified the source, our mission requires that he make regular voyages to the locale regardless of the risks. Recovery has been intermittent, and quarantine periods have resulted in crew members turning on each other. Mutiny is imminent.

There is hope as the new season approaches, but will we make it?
