:: Friday, February 28 ::
(excerpt from dr. Shane's personal logfile, 1 day b.l)
"It's as good as official now. The proximity makes our current objective
appear on sensors and scanners at Information Centre.
Won't be long till the priests start all over again with their
divine preparations, heh! Can't say I'm all that excited,
but it's been a while (...) but unlike the rest of the crew,
I can't dare to hope before I've some solid proof."

:: Wednesday, February 26 ::
(excerpt from dr. Shane's personal logfile, 2 days before landing)
"(...) Administration informs us that a new suitable has been found.
Tomorrow we will know if this is another miss by the computer analysis,
like all the rest has been. I told maintenance to prepare the
landingpods, but to keep it on a confidential level. I don't want to cause
any hustle aboard. Two starborn generations (...) It's about time we find
a place to settle down. But I have my doubts, like the rest of the ship.
Captives of our ancestors' crimes. Ahh, damn it!
In a week or two, when the suitable has been found unsuitable,
we'll be off into deep space again... Our latest review of the personnel-
files revealed a growing share of alcoholics on board. What can we do?
Humans weren't supposed to be prisoners.
Our dreams are too big for this ship. (..shuffling of paper..)
The clones are talking it cool, as always. If it hadn't been for the mark
I'd thought they were humans focused on the mission,
like we should be. Scares me, though. In here they seem more fit for
survival than we do. No reports of clones with addictive personality (...)"

:: Tuesday, February 25 ::
(audio recording of poet Allan Mark, 4 days before the news
of a new habitable planet had reached the citizens of Ship)
Beyond home,
we search the void for something.
Something (...)
A place of beauty, an Eden for us.
We search for paradise..
like every man before us have done.
When will we finally reach the end of the sky?
When can we meet our maker eye to eye?
It won't be too soon...

:: Monday, February 24 ::
Found a hist.disc containing ancient information
in a dusty library of NewPort. I'll commence posting from this
disc, as I believe this to be crucial information to all mankind.
I reserve myself from any misquotations or inaccurate dates or locations
as I'm only copying this. I hope you understand why I stress these matters.
