I miss Wildstar...
I can't say I'm happy about someone blowing up at a worst-faith extrapolation of my word choice, but I can understand how it happened. No hard feelings?

I don't want to assume what you do or don't have access to, so I'll mention this just for thoroughness sake.
Discord has apps for iOS and Android. They are good at keeping the app compatible with as many old phones as they can. Old phones would have issues with the fancy toys like livestreaming but basic text thread access should work on anything that can install the app.

We've got plenty of champion units, what we need are support units, in that respect this is a gold mine.
Plenty of the trees in the Moon Palace garden are originally from other planets but currently found on Earth, this guy might be able to tell us that frogs are actually aliens or something.
Probably? They went in there for 100,000 years, 'everyone died' isn't an unexpected emergency we need to wake them up for. As long as the cryopod techs tell us they're not in any danger they can keep sleeping.

Yeah... 300+ USD items are a maybe once every three years purchase. And since I don't use my cell for anything other than phone calls... my nearly 12 year old basic model worked for me. *sighs* but with so many things these days basically requiring a smart phone... *gusty sigh* I may have to actually capitulate and buy a half decent model... course that'd set me back another decade at least for a newer PC.

Your profile says you're in the US. Most states have programs in place to get people free low end smart phones, since as you mentioned, they are almost required in society today. Even if the local government doesn't have a program, check the food bank or goodwill, they normally have waiting lists but you can get a free smart phone through their help. For all of those you don't even need a phone plan for it, just connect it to public wifi and use apps that way.

Now we just have to wonder how much of that report is accurate.

Quinquennial is every five years, so that comes out to 2,865 years.

This implies that he could have gotten away with not filing documentation for 2,000 years without getting in trouble.

Well, the news for the Shantair is definitely bad. The news for the Belthans is mixed. Their successor culture appears to have blown up its own homeworld, but their descendants seem to still be alive; there's no obvious reason to believe that the Belkans were a different species from the people of the modern TSAB who lived only a few hundred years later. The Belthans may actually be doing better than humans by some metrics, inasmuch as they didn't lose their magitech and are the progenitors of the strongest currently active interstellar/interdimensional civilization we know of.
I'm not sure we know enough about the Pollun to begin to comment on how they're doing.

Interesting thing to note is that while Pollun was a protectorate, they were apparently integrated enough that there were populations living on the various worlds with students going to Mercury Royal Academy. But the Shantair and Belthan students are only from their respective protectorates.

Also, hm.
...But on the other hand...
So, what does this tell us about the chronology?
On the one hand we have indications of tens of thousand of years having expired over here...
...But on the other hand...
The reprimand in Maintenance Steve's personnel file only references a bit less than three thousand years passing.
So, what does this tell us about the chronology?

Oh hey, pop's origin.
Pop's exact origin, infact. Interesting.

On the other hand, this is the one place where you'd expect the systems to not break down, and we know that the computer systems as a whole are still working because there was something Ami could communicate with, even through all the rock in the way.
So either the part of the system responsible for tracking administrative paperwork is inexplicably short-lived compared to everything else, but long-lived enough to run for nearly 3000 years... Or some of our numbers don't line up.
Has time dilation been taken into account? It's pretty minor, but due to its proximity to Sol, you would age about a minute slower per century on Mercury relative to Earth. That's negligible in a human lifespan, but the timescales we're discussing here may make it a factor in our napkin math

All that means is that over the course of the 30 or 600 centuries or however long it's been, people would age 30 or 600 minutes less.
Weirder fuckery may be involved, I suppose, given that the Fall was a very magical apocalypse and that I gather some of the forces at work were to some extent warping reality and undermining normal physical law as we understand it or even as the Silver MIllennium understood it.
yes, but we have to readjust our satellites internal clocks due to relativistic drift to maintain accurate timekeeping. Also, if it was an atomic clock the system was running on, the radioactive material used in it likely has near completely decayed by now, thus the timekeeping system would break without anything else necessarily breaking.
