The Manual of Care, Operation, and Handling for The Jupiter Message
The Manual of Care, Operation, and Handling for The Jupiter Message is a manual roughly 3-and-a-half inches thick, with a faded olive-green cover and black, blocky letters proclaiming it to be "The Manual of Care, Operation, and Handling for The Jupiter Message." Nowadays, several beer and whiskey stains have joined the cover, along with a sizeable indentation from the card table's leg. It may also conceal a tablet containing the technical information on the Jupiter Message, but no-one aboard the ship has so much as opened it within the last five-to-thirty years.
After winning the Jupiter Message in a game of cards; the new owner, Riss Modi was unaware of the manual's existence. One day, when he was talking with a contact, he tripped on The Manual of Care, Operation, and Handling for The Jupiter Message. He went head-first into a chair and lost out on purchasing a vintage blow-torch as a result.
Upon discovering the manual Riss Modi commented that 'he doesn't need it' and 'he could probably rebuild this whole goddamn ship from the ground up if he felt like it' and 'this goddamn manual tried to kill him'. Shortly after, it was consigned to a nearby cupboard until Niko complained about the card table one day.
Following this, The Manual of Care, Operation, and Handling for The Jupiter Message was lovingly and carefully wedged underneath one of the legs to keep it steady.
