We are not in Castrovel any more

Hey mom, it's me again. It has only been a day since I last wrote but some crazy things have happened to us. I don't think this island is a natural one, most of the biological life has some sort technology interlaced with it. I am worried that this may be some sort of testing site that we are interrupting. A new friend Shep helped explore some of the island, we found some strange rocks that had a glow to them that seem to be hooked up to some sort of power grid running all along this island. I think the animals here have the ability to interface with this power grid and use it to change some of the terrain around them. The animals here seem to be omnivorous and not very hostile, but that could change now that they know there is a new source of food.
 
The tall ones are already turning on each other. When me and Shep were returning from our exploration they began to fire at us. We are unharmed and they say it is because they thought we were some type of sea creature. I still do not fully trust them but they are my best chance at survival. It does look like our best way out is to either find out what is going on here or building a space ship so that we can fly off of this planet. Neither seems safe but it is the best hope we have. I have to go for now I saw some of the wires near the shelter sparking and should probably fix that before anyone gets hurt. Hope to see you soon.
Love, Jarrs
