Journal entry 313
Location: unknown

It's been three months since I left on that space cruise. Funny, three months ago I thought that I could spend the next couple of weeks relaxing and having fun with the other passengers, but alas I was mistaken. Two months ago, after three weeks of having fun on that cruise, the ship suddenly stopped. No one knew why, but before we even had the time to ask, the ship went dark, losing all power. Not knowing what had happened, we did the obvious, panic. We were quickly escorted to the escape pods. While the others got the primary escape pods, I was diverted to the secondary ones. On my way to the pod station, I saw as the other pods launched off to safety. Suddenly the ship started to heat up and accelerate. I knew that the ship was entering an orbit of some unknown planet. As the ship entered the atmosphere, parts started to break off from it. I wasn't sure if I would survive from the crash landing, but there was nothing I could do. I swiftly searched around the area for something that could help me survive the impact, unfortunately, most of the equipment was on the other parts of the ship, the parts now burning in the atmosphere. So, I did what any sane man would do in this situation, beg for my life. Luckily, someone was listening, because the next time I woke up I was laying in the ship wreckage. And here I have been for the past few months, waiting to be rescued. Nothing much has happened, although I have heard some scuttling during the nights, but that's probably some large bugs or something."

It's been a week since the last journal entry and rescue is still not in sight. I did some investigation during this week, but the scuttling is still a mystery. I did manage to see a figure in the horizon, although I couldn't get a clear look of the creature, I saw that it was obviously larger than me and had these weird blades in its hands. Ever since I saw the creature I've been slightly terrified of going outside, but inside I should be safe. Right?........."
