(OOC: for those that didn’t read my post for coming to sol, I’ll sum it up for you, the Sun in epsilon Eridiana was getting quite pissy and would soon leave the star system uninhabitable, the Patriarch converted his two war fleets into refugee fleets and grabbed as many as he could secretly before leaving “in the middle of the night”. This is the journal of one of the unlucky ones that didn’t get off world.)


Journal entry #2304
Date: 14.23.35 Post Colonization.

A large unfocused blob moved across the screen as the camera was slowly rotated revealing a thin and pale face, the man moved quickly, sitting down in a chair in front of the camera. After a few moments of rearranging his thinning hair he sat up straight staring at the camera. “This is the journal of James Edward Prolevolk, I doubt that I will get much out of this thing but I guess it never hurts to occasionally leaving a message or two. “

James glanced around the dimly lit living room as the orange sky of wunderland slowly changed as the sun dipped behind the skyline of the city of Porven. The wonderful thing about .61 earth gravity is buildings could be build far higher creating breath taken sunsets, especially from James’s apartment.

“I work for the Porven city public university under the biologist wing, it’s interesting going out into the field with the first year students and collecting specimens native to Wunderland, their quite amazing creatures nothing like those on earth.”

There was a long pause as the camera continued recording, James wasn’t quite sure what else there was to tell really, he glanced around the room and saw a photo of him and a female co-worker, Angela, he had a thing for her since he had started work at the university but she was seeing someone. He picked it up held it close to the camera so it could get a clear view. “A friend of mine Angela, would like her to be a bit more than that but she’s currently seeing someone else and uh I think that’s all for now”, He hastily talked over to the console beside the computer and ended the recording.

The camera flickered to life again, apparently James had figured out how to activate the camera. He again sat in his chair in front of the camera, his skin was red and covered in dried mud along with his clothes, he had spent most of the day wandering through the muck of the local swamp along with seventeen of his first year Biology students. He enjoyed fieldwork more than being stuck in a stuffy classroom with jars of creatures even he didn’t know the names of.

“Went on another field trip with some of the first year biology students, found some new insectoid specimens in the swamp just south of the city, one of the students nearly drowned when she stepped into a deep area. She’s all right though just got some water down the wrong tube."

He chuckled lightly as he replaying the events in his mind. He shifted in his chair running a hand through his thinning brown hair and took off his dirty jacket tossing it onto the table to the far left out of the view of the camera.

“Angela was supposed to come along as it is her class but unfortunately the mainframe went down again and she had to stay behind, oh yea and she broke up with her boyfriend two weeks ago, I won’t go into details about it. On a change of note I have another fieldtrip in 2 weeks, the afternoon first year class and I are going out to the forest about half a days trip to see how the local wolf pack we brought from earth is doing in the Wunderland ecosystem, doubt it’ll disrupt it too much since most of the native creatures are easily taller than a man on average. Anyways I should go get cleaned up, I have a political function to attend, see if I can get some more funding for the biology department.”
