Nothing major, just some little things I noticed in messages we receive in game from the CommRelay.
1. Second Officer Keen's message ends with "Over and out", but this is a contradiction that no real commo operator would say. Over means I'm finished speaking, and awaiting your reply . Out means I'm ending this transmission, no reply from you is expected or required. You never say them together, because they mean opposite things. I'm waiting for you to reply, and I'm not waiting for you to reply. Keen should just end his message with "Keen, out." the way the commo operator on the Sunbeam did.
2. Since his rank is Second officer (2O), Keen is actually third in command. Both the Captain and First Officer should probably be missing/dead before he assumes command, or at least he ought to claim that before he starts issuing orders. Just something to note for his future performance reviews .
3. Just before the Sunbeam signs off, the speaker offers some faint encouragement, saying "You hold on in there, alright?" That probably ought to be "You hold on down there, alright?" since the Aurora is pretty clearly smashed onto the planet surface and the automated distress message is originating from there.
