Feros: I don't even know how to begin. I guess my first clue that something really bad was happening on this planet was when our greeting party got his brains blown apart after saying hello. I didn't need my prothean expert to translate that into a bad day for me. The sinking feeling in my gut agreed. Feros was going to be a nightmare and I haven't gotten to the part about the psychotic plant yet, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Let me start from the beginning.
Once we made it past the geth's greeting party and into the heart of Zhu's Hope, we were immediately informed that Fai Dan wanted to see me. Although informed might not be the right word, after saying sorry for almost blowing our heads off because they thought we were geth, it was go see Fai Dan. I then asked, "How long you been here?" My answer was "Go see Fai Dan." Attempting to assess the compound's state of readiness I questioned, "Are you all right?" Again my confused answer was, "Go see Fai Dan." It was annoying to say the least.
At first, I thought the colonists might be suffering from fatigue or post traumatic stress from fighting. They were after all settlers, not soldiers. But after seeing everyone acting kind of twitchy mad e me think otherwise.
A few of them stated that they were suffering from chronic headaches. One woman was even bed ridden from the pain.
Again I thought it was related to the fighting, but the hairs on the back of my neck were saying otherwise.
While we meandered through the compound, since no one could even tell where to find Fai Dan, I had Tali hack a Public Extranet Terminal. I swore if she turned around and it said, "Go see Fai Dan", I would have popped a cap in somebody's ass. But thankfully, my technological genius told me it was about a large number of supplies being delivered to an uncharted region; where to the best of my knowledge, there wasn't a living soul for several light years.
Making things even odder was that she said the message was encrypted with a top secret clearance. What was a message like that, doing out in the middle of no where on a civilian settlement? I told her to make a copy so we could check it out later. This mission was getting weirder by the minute.
Further annoying me was that I couldn't get a straight answer out of the colonists about what was going on. They kept telling me to see Fai Dan right away. Even Tali and Liara agreed that they were acting strangely. I knew this planet was giving me the creeps, but their behavior only solidified the fact, that this was not a place I wanted to be.
Once I found Zhu Hope's leader, I discovered that he too was acting peculiar however his assistant, Arcelia wasn't. I thought his second in command was acting like a royal bitch. She kept attacking me as if I was personally responsible for leaving them out there to die. If I didn't have bigger fish to fry, I would have let Liara send a warp right up her… (COMPUTER ANALYSIS INDICATED SEVERAL LETERS WERE DELETED FROM JOURNAL ENTRY, CODE 3428)Never mind.
Well, it's pretty damn late and I can barely keep my eyes open. I am exhausted after the day I've had. I will try to pick up again tomorrow after I've had some rest.
