9/29 - Where Are We?

by Thomas Boyd

9/29: New Frontier
 
We're somewhere on the other side of the Galaxy in a binary star system, I think. Something transported us here after the solar flare. The world we're about to investigate is strange and very dangerous, but interesting. I wonder what the place holds for us.
 
So far, there are two planets within range for us to get to. We haven't named them yet, though. I'm listing the positives and negatives of each.
 
Planet Alpha:
Positive
- Carbon-based life
- 0.7g gravity
- Large landmasses
- Mineral deposits
- Breathable atmosphere
- Oxygen-producing algae
- Large herds of herbivores
- Safe levels of surface radiation
- Stable climate
- Extensive forests
 
Negative
- Consistently high winds
- Not a lot of landmass
- Large predators
- High volcanic activity
- Predatory fungus
- Carnivorous algae
- Armored animals
- Large waves
- Large moon with large tides
 
Planet Beta:
Positive
- Complex underground cave system permeating most of the
planet
- Polar ice caps cover almost half the planet
- Geologically stable
- Underground giant fungal ecosystem
- Mineral-rich (crystals)
- Breathable atmosphere
- .33 G
 
Negative
- No liquid water
- No magnetosphere
- Thin atmosphere
- No complex animals
- Predatory fungus (same as Planet Alpha)
- South pole always faces the sun
- Almost no water in the southern hemisphere
- Alkali deserts
- Significant radioactive deposits
- Southern-hemisphere dust storms
- Razor-ice fields

9/15

I arrived onto the BB Oppenheimer "Bertha" and met a few of the new crewmen. It's going to be a few days before the shakedown cruise. Getting kinda antsy just waiting here. Wish something would happen soon. I just don't like to be waiting in one place ver...

9/22: Into the Darkness

Just found damage control. Now to get something done. So, touching a live wire isn't a good thing I just found out. No, not a good thing at all. My arm is still feeling tingly five minutes after I touched it. Good times. I don't feel so goo... Where...
