One doesn&#8217;t really appreciate how much one eats until one has to go get it all the time, from something further away than the ship&#8217;s galley.<\/p>\n<p>The fish here bite pretty regularly, which is nice. They&#8217;re dumb enough to bite without me baiting the line, which is even better. \u00a0It&#8217;s certainly not like it was fishing with Grandpa all those years ago. Man, you \u00a0had to virtually beat those fish with a snickers bar to get them on the hook.<\/p>\n<p>The fishing is still a bit&#8230; odd&#8230; though. Like today I &#8220;caught&#8221; another horse&#8217;s saddle, and a bow. The bow glows funny, and seems to be much stronger than the one that I made. By &#8220;glows funny&#8221; I mean emits a slight purplish light, sort of like the horror squids&#8217; eyes, but it&#8217;s barely noticeable until you&#8217;re trying to doze off to sleep and realize something purple is making the darkness slightly less dark.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever lived here before me was quite powerful. I hope they don&#8217;t want their stuff back.<\/p>\n<p>Found a little more diorite in the mine last night. If my crew chief were here, she&#8217;d use the ore detector on the walls to tell us which way to dig next, or whether the ore is truly depleted. Since she&#8217;s not here, I&#8217;m digging the shafts out neater and cleaner in hopes that I can prevent something from collapsing while I&#8217;m deep.<\/p>\n<p>My best chance for something valuable is deep. I should have less than a week left here, so I want to make it count.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_298\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-298\" style=\"width: 2732px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/One-Among-The-Dead-23.png?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-298 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kirabug.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/One-Among-The-Dead-23.png?resize=525%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Sketch.
