Day 1
My name is Jared Yoshinori I am a bilingual zoologist and astronaut. I have been instructed to record however way we want to record our expedition. We met prior to take off, I've got the jitters already,not sure if it is nervousness or me gulping my food down to quick prior to take off.
I doubt these journal logs will always be detailed if anything hasn't changed. Hoping the best.
Day 5
I don't know if anyone ever dreamed to travel through space this way,it feels like a dream. I know others are psyched about visiting another planet outside our Milky Way. At the same time I know everyone is nervous, hoping we don't get stuck on the way.
Day 12
It's so weird the planet is almost like our own though it made up of two continents. Seeing from our windows feels like some science fiction movie. Keeping up with our regiment of studies on the planet. I'm going to guess Earth II / 2 would be a bad name?
Day 14
FUTURE has traveled orbit of Goldi-24 nothing of particular interest. But to reiterate for the sake of documenting. The planet is named Goldi-24 referencing the Goldilocks Zone. The planet has forests,oceans,plains,a small mountain range and no deserts. Further information in recent days prior to our arrival has discovered a hurricane had formed. Nothing too powerful maybe a Category 1.
Day 16
We are gathering belongings to bring half of our group (20) will be onboard the pod heading to Gold the others will continue to monitor the atmosphere.
Day 20
Nervous for sure but this is what we are here for,explore. Our groups were handpicked to ensure for research AND survival. Survivalist literally are on this expedition, botanist,biologist (in case of alien contact) we brought enough Petri dishes.
Day 22
We took off around 7:00 am the ride was a little bumpy as a sudden storm did come in. We made it smoothly and stayed in until the rain cleared up. Upon exiting our pod I think I can say we all had a unified gasp. Like a parallel world.
Day 25
We've collected samples on water and some plants. I have to say that the place is surprisingly almost quiet. Since our arrival we've had been on lookout for any creatures.
Day 40
I won't lie and say that it has been...lacking in excitement. I mean botanist say the water is safe and vegetation is possible to grow. So we are setting camp down,it'll have all staples to keep us entertaing and researching. Best thing are we have canine friends can now have more running space.
Day 41
One of our dogs,Duke a German shepherd has got our other two dogs worked up. He has always been the leader of the pack. Today Duke ran ahead of us,started barking we ran after him.
Something ran from the bushes.Duke managed to frighten them toward our camp. Two little creatures purple and blue. Carrying bags ran through our camp,Duke leading the pack.
He herded them into a tent. Surprised a bit of our crew. We don't want to take risk so we managed to close them into a small pin.
Day 50
They've started a weird cycle of making noises. Our zoologist crew are fascinated by them. They've taken blood samples. The creatures did attempt to bite. Some data was sent. I made a beta program to instantly send info as soon as collected.
Day 60
What we gathered on the creaturesare they are intelligent. This proves we are not the only ones out here in the universe.
The first thing we noticed is they wear clothes. Meaning they have the ability to understand the process of finding resources or trade to gsin clothes and accessories (they had bags) . They seem gather oriented as the bags seem to carry vegetation. But they also have fangs,though small. Maybe a use for digging, eating insects. They are vocal, they can talk we assume as when talking they stare as if trying to understand like Duke.
Day 75
The idea to explore more has been decided we will travel more. The small humanoid beings in tow. One attempted to take a bite(small blue one) out our hands,yes more then one attempt. I can tell us keeping them here is irritating them. They make weird screech sounds at night. We are to release them the purple one is more docile so a small collar and tracking chip will be placed under the skin.
Day 87
Started trekking south to what we believe may be a coast for studies. But forst we will be releasing Thing 1 and Thing 2. Yes, it was the best we could come up with. Don't ask.
This evening Duke has been irritated,more than usual by the small duo. They often hiss at him,he barks back the other dogs will mimic his reactions. He's been trotting around the cage.
Something is out there, the little critters reacted to some bushes. We got Duke off the rope and following him. We have our body cams equipped and protection ready.
The bushes ruffle the small colorful creatures squeak more. Out of the bushes leaps a 7 foot beast landing on twos. It like the smaller one dressed in clothing but more elaborate. The beast hisses running towards the pin the creatures are in.
They run for the bushes,panic strikes the researchers. Half the team,hunters included attempt to "calm the beast " by shooting tranquilizers. A blueish barrier flies up sending the darts to the ground.
Duke is set free first and biting the nape of the large angry being. The one other dog tries nipping at the heels and gets sent back a couple feet. Another dog set off barking to distract the beast. It bucks around enough, nothing happens to the beast. No bleeding or injury though the presence of irritation is obvious. It swings a large palm back sending Duke flying backwards.
It stares right at the foreign two creatures. Eyes narrowing in. It stands on two legs parting its lips to speak. It digs into the bushes to grab the small creatures and ran away into the canopy of trees.
Day 95
We've recooperated back up to FUTURE for almost three weeks. We've received information from the investors. They want to k ow more,surprisingly. We have made the choice to explore.
Almost night so we're setting up. Our dogs are still on FUTURE for healing purposes.
All this time life on other planets did exist. I won't lie that I was scared to die. My life flashed,people were running trying to pack up items. We have to proceed with caution.
Day 96
We were about to leave our temp camp when I noticed the collar on the ground. We managed to only get a collar on one. The tag is that proof,we saw them leave and that's when we knew we were being watched.
It was phenomenal and terrifying. The same creature returned and gave the collar back. The same creature cameback,with friends. They didn't budge we didn't budge.
The creatures spoke but I worry we our endangering our lives.
Day 99
We have barely gathered information and now EF and the investors want us back. Whatever we have samples of they want to see and our lab is limited.
As we packs our last items we see a group of the Goldians (my own personal name) travel through the shrubs. These one seem to be purple, long curly hair,furry necks in long sleeved clothing. They seemed to cautiously walk by pulling carts and cubs. Several stopped and watched as the purple group left. Was an interesting interaction. Glad we had cameras still out.
Oh! That is a thing to document,we have two small bird drones and several tree cameras that will be left here.
Day 100
I hope we can learn more,maybe we can learn from one another. Maybe a year or two from now. I feel it would be a rush to comeback and I still feel we need to figure how to communicate. We can learn from each other,it will just take time.
