Chapter Text

Log 1A

 

I first see it through eyes that are not my own.

The ruined landscape that surrounds me, each step on the uneven ground, each sound traveling throughout the decaying rusty pipes- all of it witnessed vicariously.

It was the most devastating success I have ever experienced.

I did not make it far on that first trip. There was too much for my systems to process.

One moment lacking awareness would be fatal to the body of the little beast, my lucky gift, and it did not deserve to pay the price of my grief.

I called it home.

I let it find its own way as I thought.

Notes:

Written a lot of these on tumblr, gonna post them all, then it might be a bit between them!
These logs are from an iterator in an AU of mine called Stars of Distant Skies.
