Day 1 On Planet Ajax Monologue
Dr. Atticus Brent, Jacobs Corp, Day 1 on Planet Argolis. My officers have decided to send me to this planet, in search of supposed alien artifacts that were found on this planet. The same kind of find that made our competitors, the FEAT
Corporation, the industrial giants that they are today. In my opinion, a kind of find this big on such a desolate rock would seem absurdly rare. It's been only a few hours on this planet, and I already know it's going to be the death of me.
Scientists do not chase "myths" and "legends". This is Dr. Atticus Brent of the Jacobs Corporation, signing off.

Day Forty-three on Argolis. Or at least I think it's the forty-third day, the 80 hour day cycles are difficult to get used to, and the inhaitants are not that much better. They are easily the most ignorant people I've ever met, and when I try to

They draw off half sentence in torpor where I imagine they're either drunk or brain-damaged and aren't fully aware of my presence. If I could imagine hell, I would compare it to living with these troglodytes. This is Dr. Atticus
Brent, signing off.

This is the seventy-sixth day. I woke up hoping I was having a reoccuring nightmare. We spent the past 57 hours relocatting our camp closer to the dig site, only to be ambushed by local wildlife that had been coming out of hibernation. Over half of my crew were eating by Skrelps. I only survived by hiding under a colleague of mine as he was getting devoured on top of me. His name was Derek. My... emotions are dulled inside, and I grieved for none of them. In fact, the only emotion I felt was joy. I felt joy because his chair was always considerably more comfortable than mine. I took his chair. That's when I noticed the luminescent glow coming from the rocks.
This is Dr. Atticus Brent, signing

    Not all scientific paradigms are correct. In order to understand, there must be experiments to prove whether a hypothesis is correct or incorrect.To prove whether a hypothesis is correct there must be physical evidence. In this lab will be looking at the different scientific paradigms to see if they are correct. In this lab we conducted a scientific test of astrological predictions, test for psychic abilities, test the conception that quartz has on curative properties, and formulate an experiment to test the conception that a good luck charm will affect the outcome of future events.…

    Sometimes careless science publishing can weaken the public’s confidence in science and the government. The Media is enormously powerful and leading and will influence people’s opinions on everything. There are plenty of stories in the media that will change the public’s perception of science or even make them see a new perception. Sometimes these stories are just written to scare the public into believing a certain thing just so they can sell their stories.…

    At 1:15 a.m. I emerged from my tent with my boots laced, my ice-axe stowed, and my headlamp glowing. I was ready for this mountain, rearing to begin the ascent up its face. Before leaving base camp, my guide had a few words to share with the team. We gathered around him, and he began. “This will not be an easy climb,” he warned, “And not all of you will reach the summit. If you feel disoriented, I will send you down. If you are slowing, I will send you down. If you present a danger to yourself or to the team, I will send you down. If I tell you it is time, you will not object to my command. You will go down. Do you understand?” None of us had any intention of stopping. We spent weeks training for this climb and were certain that by midday we…

    I woke up hazed with blurred vision. The right side of my face was dried and burned. The left side of my face was soaked in salt water and blood. I was freaked out and picked up my head and blinked rapidly. I saw nothing but blue for miles and miles, the sky and the water. When I looked down I saw nothing but a small black and orange rubber dingy. I tried to think about what had happened. It was then when I realized I couldn't even remember my own name. Then panic just settled in for some reason I jumped in the water freaking out. I came to my senses and quickly started using all my strength to hurdle myself in the dingy.…
