This was all it took to drive each of the men away, further evidence that the natives here exhibit an astounding lack of initiative.Įxcited to be “prospering” under my new “leadership,” the natives asked me to show them how to grow pumpkins for a festival they are planning. Encouraged by his reaction, I waved my hands in his face and poked him a few times in the chest with a stern finger. The natives fled from them in terror, but when I grabbed the arm of the first “Murlod” he instantly slowed and shied away from me. At one point the natives became highly anxious at the appearance of two large men, looking for all the world like cavemen out of some fantastical children’s tale, who shambled through the village with torches.

I directed the clearing of several stone piles in order to access his hut and oversee its restoration. Apparently the natives already knew how to build huts! But why would they have built only one? And why would they not have maintained it? I had hardly completed this task when a rather large and garishly-dressed man calling himself Jamboa arrived and asked me to restore his hut. He seemed fascinated although I could not make heads or tails of them. I sent the images of several stone tablets back to the professor through the comm link. The natives completely ignore them and I must admit, as shocking as it sounds, that I have already grown accustomed to them myself and hardly even notice them after just a few hours. At first the appearance of these dinosaurs in the sky terrified me, but I soon realized that they are no larger than hawks, or perhaps eagles. Perfectly recognizable rabbits and birds exist alongside small pterodactyls that fly overhead in abundance.

The creatures here are as perplexing as the daylight. I had a few moments to myself this “morning” after I first awoke, and I tried to take better note of my surroundings. What jungle on Earth could exist at the north or south pole? Am I even on Earth anymore? I would suspect that I have been transported to one of the poles during the summer season, but the vegetation here is more appropriate to a jungle climate. I can’t say that I have any idea what time it is here. What I assumed to be mid-afternoon yesterday turned out to be a perpetual state of light.
