• 2170: The first vodka of Artemis was produced from 9 kg of potatoes, a blend of russet, red, and Yukon gold, by Roark Kenrick Mackay and Raymond Jackson. The potatoes were cubed, boiled, mashed, then fermented with yeast for two weeks in a lidded sterilized bucket rigged with a simple double-bubble airlock crafted from tubing. The fermented liquid was then heated in a still made from a modified cooking pot and copper tubing to separate the alcohol vapor from other compounds. After being put through a filter of crushed charcoal made with spent plant stems from hydroponics, the batch was freely served to colonists and entirely consumed within hours.

Malik is taken into custody under the order of Captain Eli Varnell. Malik is suspected to be part of the Neuril-9 fiasco, along with Phillips.
• Early 2171: Senior Constable Tate Winters voted as the next MBC Governor-General while the colony drafts a proposal to Sol to smooth over this transitional government.
