Day 3; 06:12 AM

Log: "Woke up, grabbed someth- *YAAAAAWN* -in ta' eat, headin' out now. Yesterday saw some green on da horizon, gunna go an' check it out."

[color=#FFFFFF]Day 3; 07:05 AM

Log: "Dis be very interestin'... found trace o' intelligent bein' activity 'ere, can't figure if it was human or nomad or somethin' third... but it sure look odd. It's some sort'a circle, paved wit' dark stones, an' sand mounded in da middle. Ain't gunna go diggin' furtha', might be somethin' wild in dere. Movin' on, took photos."

Day 3; 07:29 AM

Log: "Ah've reason ta' believe razorwind be a real menace in dis part o' da desert. Supplyin' da proof in form o' photo. Dis be a stone, was likely a huge boulder years an' years ago, an' da razorwind-bourne sand particles finely chiseled da bottom 'til dey left a huge mushroom cloud. Takin' anotha snapshot, from a different angle on da desert. Beautiful place, makes me wanna stay down 'ere forevah'."

Day 3; 09:16 AM

Log: "Passed above some sort'a lake wit' a crater mountain, really neat. Ain't landin', ah see a lush green mountain on da horizon. Took a snapshot from da Breath's front camera."

Day 3; 11:27 AM

Log: "Landed on a lush, LUSH green meadow in a small valley, lookin' at da mountain... hot damn, dis ting be huge, and beautiful, untouched... Takin bunches o' snapshots, found a small creek wit' some unique greenery, took samples. Moved along a bit, caught some wildlife, mainly birds an' insects. Ain't come across anythin' mammal-like yet."

Day 3; 14:38 PM

Log: "Aha! Found somethin'. A small jungle predator, a cat. Seems felines developed all over da place, heh heh. Wish ah had a tail. Also found a sort of monkey earlier, both o' da animals seemed ta' take no notice o' meh. Odd, dis place must be human-free, completely. Ventured a bit deeper inta' da jungle, an' hot damn, dis place gives me da creeps. Not ta' mention da humidity, fah' Jah's sake, only a few clicks from da harsh desert, an' dis place be so humid mah dreds be curlin' up. *mumbles angrily*"

Day 3; 15:11 PM

Log: "*whispering* Now, dis be somethin' else... found somethin'... unique. Ah'm keepin' whisperin' so ah don't spook it accidentally... saw it eatin' herbs, so ah'm hopin' dis be a herbivore. *footsteps, followed by a short 'bzzt-CLICK!'* Took a photo, now ah'm slowly movin' back, ain't gunna risk it."

Day 3; 16:22 PM

Log: "Got back ta' da Breath, found some weird ol' plants rooted 'round its landin' trap, ain't been 'ere when ah first landed. Picture taken. Got reason ta' believe dese be REAL young. Gonna dash on before ah find out what da adult looks like, eh heh heh. Pickin' up some fah' samples."

Day 3; 17:49 PM

Log: "Saw a couple o' ships flyin' high above, jus' hopin' dey ain't seen da Breath. Looked like a Pelican wit' Eagle or Hawk, ain't sure from down 'ere, escort. Eitha' dem cambridge researchers or anutha' VIP tour by dem *spits* OSC."

Day 3; 19:37 PM

Log: "Got back ta' da Breath, did testin' on da plant samples ah' took, an' covered da Breath from da outside ta' look like a rock from da above. Ah'm gunna be spendin' da night 'ere, an' gunna take more tests on da herbs, checkin' da properties."

Day 3; 22:13 PM

Log: "Interestin'... dem toothy plants ah found jus' regular ol' insectivores, except dese ones can move. Slowly, but surely. Ah'm guessin' dey went after da shade in da Breath's shadow. Found a plant very close ta' opium poppy... Ain't really keen on smokin' it though. One o' da plants be alike da rose by DNA scan, an' one o' dem be extremely resilient ta' fire, and ah can't smash or break da leaves.. Ah'm gunna call it "ironleaf" plant. Anywho, dat be it fah' tonight, grabbin' some shut-eye."
