Crete: Some Time In Seclusion (//Corsairs by invite or request only)

[Doc Holliday]

Dusk again had fallen after another day of work and experiment. It was also another day of nothing. Only one communication from Planetform, no word from Jaden and nothing from anyone amongst the Corsairs. He was beginning to question his entire being there. His supplies were plentiful, better than he thought they would last and so it was turning into a game of patience, a game of how long he was willing to put aside the life he knew for this.

Earlier that day, he had planted a small garden. It would take several days before anything, if anything, would come of it but it was an experiment to see if anything would grow on Crete. But he also felt it was time that he would send word to the Elders to see if they at all cared. I mean, if they didn't care of what he was trying to do then why should he care to stay?

He sent a communication over a low band channel, a channel that he was able to locate for Crete;

Hola, Esteemed Elder Council,

Some time ago, I sent word that I intended to visit your home world, to find the place in the mountains of Crete that I heard about from the late Elder Miquel Sephardi where he would come to reflect, to put things in perspective. While I don't know if I've found that spot, the last week I have been here taking readings and information to study terraforming. As I understand it, it is possible but my knowledge of it is quite limited.

Also while here, I have planted a small garden, an experiment in seeing what will grow here. I do believe that certain things will grow here. I would invite any member of the Council to visit and to chat. I think you will find that getting away from the rigors of daily life will be a relief.

I do hope that you get this message in it's entirety as I have but a low band frequency from which to send it. My co-ordinates are included and if it matters, I'm here alone.

With respect,
Dr. John Henry Holliday

After a drink, he activated his perimeter alarm, secured his pistols with him in his bunk and turned in for another Cretian night.
