Log Date: Day 10

Location: Euclid Galaxy, Dejangput Void region, Star System Epsilon, planet Epsilon-Tertium


Today has been interesting. Upon arriving at the space station, I encountered another of my kind, a Traveler I soon knew as Solba. After a brief conversation, I've decided to let Solba join me on my journey, given their predicament... A Gek trader had swindled them out of their ship, leaving them stranded at the space station. Given that I have a second seat in my space ship, I have decided to take Solba along with me for my journey, along with making stops so as to fulfill Solba's journey as well. After all, many of the documents on the monoliths I've been discovering have been telling that a Traveler's journey is not to be interrupted. Who am I to interrupt a fellow Traveler's journey? No, instead I will help my new friend to get where they are going

We took to a new planet, its surface covered in waves of green and brown. The trees were conical shaped, with purple bark and green leaves. Trees of soft, droopy nature held a lime-peach coloration. Solba took to my Analysis Visor, scanning and cataloging everything they saw. They seemed to enjoy the feeding the life forms of the planet bits and pieces of carbon they pulled from the plants. It wasn't long until they had made friends with many of the local inhabitants. I watched, slightly put off with their optimism and eagerness, but in a sense it was refreshing from my own analytical and introspective view of the world around me. In a sense, it was a much needed breath of fresh air.

We continued like this for a while, with myself fending off the predators with my Bolt Caster while they gather rare minerals with the native fauna. It's astounding how oblivious they are, and how unaware of the basic concepts of travel they've become. How long have they been at that space station? A year? Two? I let them frolic about, pondering over the idea of what their backstory could possibly be. There's something endearing about the way they wander around, asking me abut things. It's almost like a curious child asking one's parent for the wisdom of the universe. The only problem with this is that we are both just children in comparison to the rest of the universe...

We spent quite a few days meandering on the planet. Days, it seems, pass very fast, as I didn't feel tired until we made it back to the starship, bags full of things we had found and made on the planet and minds swirling with new knowledge. In the end, I realized I never even bothered asking anything of my companion past their name. I'll make a point of asking when we make it back to the space station.
