Day 1:<\/p>\n
I woke up just off the beach on Serendipity, a bit south of where the original drop had been planned. Things have obviously gone wrong, but what exactly I don’t know, as I’ve got no suit, no transmitter, and only the clothes that I had when I reported for medical clearance before the drop.<\/p>\n
Well, and this notebook, obviously. It’s supposed to be used to log rock and mineral formations, drawn maps, general spelunking safety stuff, but I think this qualifies as a safety emergency.<\/p>\n
I was supposed to transport with a team of six others, including a medic. I am alone. I was supposed to be dropped at a deep ravine. I’m on a hilly beach next to what appears to be an ocean, but surrounded by fields.<\/p>\n
I’m not even sure I’m on Serendipity, to be totally honest. I’m just a rookie, and without my transmitter or computer, I could be anywhere.<\/p>\n
The Company provided extensive survival training, so I’m not dead yet. I\u00a0found a storage box of supplies: some wood, an axe, a pickaxe, fish, bread, and an apple. I’m not sure if it’s from \u00a0the ship, or something that someone here on the planet left behind. I did some light exploring.<\/p>\n
I’ve spotted some horses and some chickens (ducks? they like swimming but sound like chickens), and cows, but nothing resembling civilization.<\/p>\n
The plants here are amazing – mushrooms the size of maple trees, oaks four times as big around as me.<\/p>\n
I found a small underground cave full of freshwater to spend the night in. It’s damp and uncomfortable \u00a0sleeping on the ground, but better than being out in the open.<\/p>\n
