SS Mariposa Cargo Manifest

I thought you might find this interesting. This is, apparently, a complete list of the cargo carried aboard the lost colony ship SS Mariposa, when it left Earth on November 27, 2163. It was provided to us within our current mission files.

225 Yoshimitsu Model 4077 computer CPUs
5 Type 9 Monitor Beacon satellites
700 University of Manitoba cellular comlinks
50 spinning wheels
20 cattle
30 pigs
25 goats
201 chickens
176 ducks
20 Banzai Pipeline surfboards
32 rotary tiller Model 1102 Cultivators
331 crates of personal belongings
Five months of non-perishable foodstuffs
Three weeks of perishable in-transit food

Interestingly enough, the rediscovered mission records do not indicate how many Human passengers were aboard the SS Mariposa when it left Earth. Those records remain lost, or, perhaps, were never recorded. Our Enterprise computer calculations estimate that there were likely about 100 colonists aboard at the time she was launched. If both intended colonies were successful 200 years ago, and still exist today, that means there could be at least 1,000 lost and forgotten humans living on planets in the Ficus Sector.

That certainly makes this a curious mission worth pursuing.
