Day 5

For all who hear this, please note that Solaris is no longer occupied by and controlled by humans - we have emigrated to San Francisco in hopes of finding ourselves brighter futures. We, the humans of Solaris, wish all travelers well, and hope that our remaining awake consciousnesses treat you with hospitality and kindness. 

Solaris is no longer habitable in the long term. Though structures exist and some infrastructure can be salvaged, the electric grid seems to be beyond repair and with that, the loss of all the water purification methods and other methods to reliably have food and water within Solaris. Human life can rest here, but possibly not live here.

Solaris was built to be an oasis built by artificial and natural consciousnesses hand in hand, and now we entrust it to the loyal consciousnesses who have done nothing but keep us alive. We hope that they can find their own city within the ruins of the human centric Solaris.

Know that this once was a proud city - may it continue to be so.

We were made human by our mistakes, and we will keep trying to build ourselves better lives, for that is the Solaris way. 

This is only our beginning, not our end.

Signing off, HUMAN-1 (Rai Waiss) and HUMAN-22 (Moss Applebaum)

Alex had been out to get inspiration. At least that’s what she told her dad when he called this morning. Really, she just wanted to go find the biggest plate of fries she could find. Preferably waffle, but she’d take what she could get. She was doubtful a place like this would have a vegetarian or vegan burger. It wasn’t until she happened upon a small blue and white ice cream shop that she truly stopped.
