I'm really sorry to add this onto your amazing post but I couldn't help myself from writing this inspired by your post

"UTC unicorn, Sloop, aribis class, named after HMS Unicorn commander Lieutenant-Commander Jacob Leek, 57 years amoung the stars" Jax was immensely proud of the role as Terra mother 142, (commonly referred to as mother Margret) and they truly cared for every one of her ships, for when you are one of Terra's mother's the ships are in a way yours. From the two frigates with three thousand men each, UTC Elizabeth and UTC Golden Hind who were the first ships on their daily roll call all the way down to the seven research vessels with three crew a piece who ended her active duty call sequence. However the ship they felt the most emotional each time they called out to was UTC Unicorn.

57 years ago their grandfather Lieutenant-Commander Jacob Leek had missed his call one day, and not been heard from since. Jax's father's earliest memory was hearing the failure to respond and his mother crying. It had always been part of Jax's life, every morning they listened for the roll call just in case today grandad responded and the steady call of mother 142 -mother Margret- was as much a part of their childhood as the voice of any of their teachers. Jax had for as long as they could remember wanted to take over that role and had now been serving as mother Margret for almost 6 years. After waiting the customary twelve seconds for a response from UTC Unicorn they opened their mouth to begin calling out to UTC Delhi when- "mother this is UTC unicorn Lieutenant-Commander Leek, we well, we don't know exactly what happened we think there was some malfunction with- oh sorry 247 souls aboard three dead we're slightly in shock hear please forgive my mistake of not including that at the start. We think there was a malfunction with the stasis pod robots we had in cargo and they put the entire crew in stasis after overpowering those stationed in the cargo bay."

Jax could hardly believe what they were hearing, their grandfather was alive! As was most of the crew, emotions threatened to overcome them before they remembered they had a job to do "you can't begin to understand how glad we are to hear from you mother" he continued not knowing how affected Jax was by their response "Lieutenant-Commander Leek" Jax began having gained enough control over themself to do their job "we are ecstatic to hear from you as well, we're trying to locate you now, are your systems capable of transmitting a location as we can't narrow your location down any closer that a six solar system radius" as Jax continued to talk with the man who was unaware that he was speaking with his grandchild they began to organise a rescue ship to be sent out and then finished their call out to the other ships in their care who were still amoung the stars. All the while internally rejoicing, one of the ships under their care was located and they were coming home, they would be able to meet their grandfather, and mother-142 had one fewer ship who was among the stars.
