As the sun rose over the Vanguard base, a heavy sense of sorrow lingered in the air. The day had begun with the weight of loss on their shoulders, but the Vanguard members were determined to press on, channeling their grief into their work.

Vindrake, with unwavering dedication, had taken the task of relocating the Applied Energistics main net and subnet to their new permanent home. With meticulous precision, he began constructing a modular piece for the densely packed Main Controller, envisioning a cleaner and more efficient setup with wireless technology in the near future. His shoutouts to IX and Ducky reflected the spirit of camaraderie that bound the Vanguard together, recognizing their contributions and innovative ideas that propelled their progress.

Meanwhile, tablekorner found solace in the familiar routine of quests and crafts, patiently waiting for resources and completing tasks by hand. The completion of the Radon loop quest and preparations for a mining expedition hinted at a future filled with new discoveries and challenges to overcome.

Scarlet brought a touch of whimsy to the day, crafting a cuddly companion for System's soap spa and indulging in the creation of more rubber duckies. The playful antics of naming the new friends added a lightheartedness to the somber atmosphere, reminding everyone to find joy in the small moments amidst the chaos.

Yasski diligently continued the work left by Nova, connecting machines to power and AE to ensure the functionality of the ore processing area. Despite the looming challenge of filtering ores without ore dict, Yassine remained focused and determined to see the task through to completion.

As the day drew to a close, Vindrake's efforts in fluid storage and power relocation marked a significant milestone for the Vanguard.
