Dear Journal,

I have just had the Humans officially assigned as my Protectors. I am a little bit annoyed by this action. I'm a big girl; I can take care of myself. I know some of their names. It's a little more difficult as some Humans insist on using rank as well. Egotistical people...

I know Private First Class Norman Hecks, who wasn't born on Earth. He comes from a planet far away from Earth called Draco II. He described it to me as an agricultural world with geothermal energy as an export! There's Privtae Hank Geri, who seems a bit excited for his job of protecting people. I guess some people really like what they do. Private Vere Kersiac is from a country on the Meditteranean. What was it? Croatia? Serbia? Slovenia? Somewhere around that area. Listening to him speak in his native language to his friend Roshenko is an interesting experience. I have never seen anybody speak in such a language in person. It sounded very much like Russian! But their leader has the royal mouthful. Lieutenant Christopher... that's the part I always forget. His name is difficult to remember. Venni... Ven... Vennett... he's Italian-American. He's from New York City, a place I always read about in the books. I made a bet with him that if Earth wasn't a polluted dump, we'd go to New York first.

I'm not willing to lose 100 dollars.

I'm just a bit embarassed that I just can't spell or remember the last name! I've always called him 'Lieutenant' whenever I saw him just so I didn't look like a total dunce and appear that I didn't care.

Just to be clear: I have no reason to trust this Human. I don't nearly know him well enough to lay my life in his hands. Unfortunately that's what the job description says that's what he's supposed to do.

I wonder if I may find myself at the Pearly Gates sooner than I expected. Guess that's karma for you. I've been running around since I was a kid and now I'm paying for it...

Now, the next piece of information is shocking, but I have to let it be known: I allowed the Lieutenant to take Tails into space on one of their craft. It was a stupid move on my part. So, why did I do it? I guess it was Tails. He always wanted to know so much about space and here was his chance to go into the Black Beyond. How could I say no to him? What's worse, I heard that there was a battle upstairs!

I have to call in! I have to make sure they're alright. I don't want to fish Tails' body out of the void.
