Excerpt from a first generation traveler's diary
“...lands too quiet. too still. wrong wrong wrong. none of us know how we woke here. no reason. just here. flesh wont die proper. blade only bites when its friend turned foe... the apple. gold. cursed. all woke clutchin it like a gift. it aint no gift. fools ate it. fools. now they scream in the dark. nights never end. dreams rot the mind. black things crawlin in their eyes. dont eat it dont even touch it burn it crush it bury it deep deep deep but it comes back it always comes back it always...”
