Where to start?I am Commander Jaton, Elite Explorer.
I have travelled hundreds of thousands of light years, as far as the centre of the galaxy and beyond the rift. But in all that time I never thought to keep a log.
Yet now feels like the time to start.
I am currently sat in a rotating biodome aboard the Gnosis. As I record this log I am lounging in artificial sunlight near a tranquil pool, surrounded by flora from a multitude of worlds. This the first time I have properly relaxed in over a year. I am allowing my body to recover from the stresses of constant space travel.
The future is uncertain, a threat looms over the bubble. It feels like the calm before the storm. There will be war soon, not the little petty skirmishes of squabbling minor factions, a real war. It seems unavoidable now. The "Thargoids" are coming and the trigger happy, stereotypical human commanders are relishing the coming fight.
But we must fight smart. We must find allies. We will die if we go guns blazing.
There are no "Thargoids", it is a name born from ignorance. There are Oresrians and Klaxians. Two distinct groups, one hell bent on the destruction of the other, one trying to survive.
We must discover a method of identifying one from the other, we must extend the hand of peace to the Oresrians and work together to survive the Klaxian onslaught. It is the only way.
So this is my mission. I must identify our allies, I must communicate with them, I must defend them from human stupidity and I must prepare for the coming fight. Nothing else matters now.
I will attempt to keep a log of my progress as best I can. But don't hold your breath.
