I have been meaning to start this journal ever since I became a full member of the guild and left The Library with Bereg Foxst’s expedition. Other Explorers tell me it is a good idea to keep a journal in case the unthinkable happens, so others in the guild can learn from our experience. Until recently I have had no reason to start my own journal since this is Foxst’s expedition and I am just along for the ride.
I traveled between the space station orbiting Arbor and the surface of the planet as a member of Foxst’s expedition for more or less one cycle. He had information about some ancient civilization swallowed up by the jungles of the planet. I spent almost all of my time on the surface. This planet is amazing, is a hash environment but while some of my colleges took their R&R leave and left for the space station I staid on the surface. Theres all kinds of primitive life forms to study and never a dull moment.
After almost a full cycle in the wild we finally found evidence to prove the information was accurate but we could not continue the next phase without the approval of the planet’s authority. As we started packing up our camp, I feel sorry I can’t spend more time on the surface but the prospect of having accesses to daily sonic showers, stores to shop in and food that I don’t have to kill makes it easier.
After I settled in the small efficiency studio The Library provided for me, I took a long sonic shower and quickly felt claustrophobic. It is a big change from the wide open space I was use to for the last cycle. One of my traveling companions, a Twi’lek that spends most of him time on the station mentioned a tavern called Stargaze Cantina. He said the place had a great view and would be the perfect place to "take the edge off”.
He was right, the place immediately took away the claustrophobic feeling I had. The tavern is prime real estate in the station, it was situated in a place were the roof was over looking the planet. I got there early and ordered myself a drink. The tavern was almost empty when I arrived and I saw many patrons come and go as I worked through the data collected over the last cycle. I was just beginning to feel the effects of the synthehol from my third drink when things got interesting.
