Planet Tosung
Day 1
It is the year 2570 and it is around 3:00 in the morning and we have finally reached the planet we were headed for in 2010. Due to advanced technologies we were able to basically freeze our body in time. We were not dead but we weren’t alive. We were bodies that lied in our beds on the space shuttle. For about 560 years my fellow partners and I have been lying there lifeless as we made our voyage to the planet of Tosung. It is a planet that we believe has promise to bare life. We are landing now so I will continue this tomorrow.
Day 2
I have now spent a full day and night on the planet Tosung. It is a very nice planet. So far we have not met any other life forms. The high temperature of the day was around 75°F and the low at 60°F. We cannot tell yet what season it is but the days here are longer than on Earth. Here the days are about 30 hours long. There is grass and trees and we did stumble upon a small creek which is a positive sign for life if there is water on the planet. No sign of animals yet but tomorrow we are going hunting to find animals. For now I need to get some sleep.
Day 3
I must have forgotten to mention in the last entry about our living quarters. As of right now we are living in huge tents that we sleep in at night and have our meals. Tomorrow we will find resources to build a sturdy building for us to live in. Like I have said today we went hunting in search of animals. We found some very strange things here. We found some animals that look like deer and bears. While on the hunt a bear like animal came up from behind us and started attacking! It was crazy! The first person he went after was Johnny from the research department. Poor Johnny was mauled by the bear before we got our gun out and shot it to death. We quickly brought him back to the camp and had the medical guy look after him while we went back. There was something that looks like the common squirrel but has a bigger tail and is about a foot long. There are fish in the river and birds in the sky. They all that look very different from the ones at home. For now we are eating dry packaged food that we took from home that was able to withstand the voyage. We will be eating those until we could find an appropriate food source.
Day 4
We found a giant forest some 4 miles from where we landed so we moved our camp over by the forest so that all our supplies are there as we build our new house. The whole day involved the cutting down of trees and carving them into the appropriate size and length to make our house. We have all of what we need cut and ready to be put together. We will do that tomorrow. So far it has been sunny and has shown no signs of precipitation. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it does not rain or anything until we can get our house built.
Day 5
Well our house is finally built. It is a one story with 6 bed rooms, a kitchen and eating area. We can’t get a working bathroom right now so we have an outhouse in the back. We have found out the some of the fish and the deer like animals are edible so we are going to hunt them a little later today for food. We also don’t have a gas line or electricity yet so everything is by fire. We will be setting that up in a few days. So far everything has been going according to plan. No horrible weather, or attacks from the natives .... if there are any natives....
