RFS 617
Colonial Survey: Recommended. The Surface's water is clean and plentiful, atmosphere is perfect gas mix and pressure, and the planet is geologically stable. Excellent colony candidate.
REVISED SURVEY: he climate of RFS 617 is hot and wet, averaging 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) with torrential downpours. All our crops were either washed away or trampled during seasonal migrations of native life on a massive scale. There are intelligent natives and they also bring us only trouble. We all want to be cool and dry, just once.
Excerpts from journals
Day 22: Prisoner 2245dp Shleng: Market drives are all getting stabity-stabity whoo hoo around here. The Swed was jumped today, for baby powder. He put up a good fight, but the gang out numbered him. All the coldborns are becoming targets, they packed comforts that suited them without no mind. Now everyone is minding it. Shit, what wouldn't I make my sister do for a bit of Talc! I got a bit of swampass that burns while I sleep.
Day 68:Science Officer Elect Percia Shepett (deceased) It was quiet a blow today, after two month of me saying "this has to be the summer," I finally worked the numbers and discovered we are into mid spring. Worst, the seasons are almost 50% longer than on Earth. Who knew? I am still hopeful. I truly believe that the natural biology will provide us the needed solutions for our problems and comfort. have to keep it short, battery is running low and we all know how the weather drains batteries.
