[During the evening of the 20th, a very short journal entry appears, written in large but neat handwriting.]

Please tell me about the worlds you come from.

My planet has been at war with Gamilas for 8 years. They've been bombarding Earth with radioactive planet bombs. The surface of the entire planet is uninhabitable. Most of the population has moved into underground city's but the radiation was slowly reaching deeper. When I was brought here there were 211 days before the radiation reached the underground cities.

[vysecaptain]

Gamilas? Is that a country?

['Radioactive' isn't a common word in Vyse's vocabulary. 'Explosive' and 'corrosive', sort of, but not 'radioactive'. But it sounds bad nonetheless, so he can guess from context.

The concept of 'aliens' or 'other planets' is entirely foreign.]

And there's no way to get rid of the radiation?

[wavemotiongunner]

It's both the name of aliens that's attacking us and their planet.
[Kodai has found that fact to have made their strategy meetings very confusing lately.]

We were contacted by a planet called Iscandar that offered help. They even gave us the technology to do so. I was assigned to the ship that was being sent there. We had made the final warp when I ended up here.

[vysecaptain]

Oh wow, whole other planets...

[Sorry Kodai, he's focused on that bit of info.]

So Gamilas are the enemy and the ones from Iscandar are your allies. I hope they're doing alright without you there, it sounds like you're important to the mission.

Not just planets, we were meters away from the surface of a star. [Something he never wants to repeat again. He's not quite sure how they didn't end up incinerated trying that stunt.]

I was the ship's Tactical Officer. Disappearing from the ship in the middle of a battle is going to cause chaos. We're already missing [ he started to write something but it was quickly turned to a scribble] someone.

Sorry for THIS late response

[vysecaptain]

Whoa, mid-battle? Horrible time for someone to go missing.

[Kodai can't see, but on his side of the journal, Vyse is attempting to imagine being that close to a star. It's not working.]

[Horrible is an understatement.]
So what's it like we're you're from?
