Captains Log, I awoke to find my self alone, on the the Pathfinder, not too sure how or why I am here, after a quick look around the rather small shuttle I found some interesting machines & a book that seem to be some form of manual, after following the manual I find my self teleported to a world, I first though it was Earth, I have seen some images in the archives green grass, trees, animals, but I soon learned this is not earth but some alien clone of earth, oh the long, long dark night, the dark seems to seep into my very bones & fills me with loneliness & dread, there are things in the darkness I can here them hissing & shambling around, thank the gods I harvest some wood & dug into a hillside for safety or I surely would have perished to these strange beings.
A new day dawns & helps lift the dread I feel, on completing a quick scouting mission I notice there is what seems to be coal, hmm could there be ores & if there are can I find some way to process them into tools & items to help me survive this god forsaken place, maybe the book will help, to work then at least it keeps my mind from dwelling on the creatures in the darkness....
