They gave it to me so I can have a "private space" to keep my thoughts. "They" being Grace & Rocky. Or "Dr. Captain Ryland Grace" & "Rocky, Partner of Adrien, born of the mountains" something something

Cool. Whatever. and I'm the Butcher of Eden. They're insistent I write here for "mental health" or something, since I'm clearly not going to spill any secrets to them. I'll give them one thing; they may be fools but they're not stupid. I wouldn't confide in them if they were the last people (aliens?) in the universe.

Just to keep track, here's what they've told me so far: 1. I'm on a ship called the "Hail Mary" (seems true)

2. The planets and stars are ok (we'll see about that) 3. We're going to Erid, where Rocky's from, and it'll take 3 years. Currently no plans to go to Earth. (not like I had plans in the first place)

4. They don't want to hurt me (sure.) 5. They saved the stars by breeding alien life to kill alien life?? ("Don't touch the breeders" they say. Sure, because these can save the stars)
