Day 9 09:00 HMS Floater The UK turned into the United Kingdoms of Earth in 2084 following serious advances into space due to a few discrete alien encounters. Our species are yet to reconnect in 2149, but we are on course to. After multiple but few colonizations of lesser planets housing somewhat sophisticated life, I find myself pondering whether we're doing the right thing. Sure they're lesser, but is this proper treatment? Rumors grow of a few bugs left hiding out on the planet, and I've let myself believe them. I'm growing paranoid of a rebellion each hour I spend on this ship, especially the hours I should sleep. I'm supposed to monitor (guard) the phycological experiments overgoing Subject 10100955, who I like to call "Ozark". We came up with that name because he's claimed to be living proof of a rebellion hiding back on its mountainous home. It reminds me of mine. The history books told my home province, Utah, was apart of a great nation that rebelled against us Brits once before, won, and kneeled the next. I should be bothered but I don't trust them enough to care. Dr. Oshmir Ann is the twit I'm supposed to protect, and I don't like him at all. But I must return to him now incase he can't defend himself against his own experiment. LCpl Doc "Cynic" Gnar [END LOG]

I am not from this planet. Hell, I am technically not from this galaxy. However, that doesn't change the fact I am here now, and my job is to save what I can on this forsaken planet and what's left of its inhabitants. The problem is that not everyone wants to be saved. I know what you're thinking. You can't save those who don't want to be saved. I bloody well agree. The ones who sent me don't care what you or I think, though. All they care about is numbers. They need a certain success rate to continue to get funding for their "expeditions" and "peacekeeping" efforts. I use both terms loosely here. However, that's what they put on their records, and it's what sounds good and looks suitable to their investors. So this is the way it's going to be. So be it! Oh, did I forget to mention the Universe decided I was the lucky girl to help find the one person who could save us all from self-destruction? Yea, that is a shitty idea, but once again, no one cares what I think.
