Entry 01
Wow, I have been selected for the Sentient Life Mission to planet PZ-3509. I will be launched tomorrow into deep space. I’m super stoked! I hope I get enough time tonight to recharge the batteries …
———
Entry 02
The launch was successful! To be honest I was a little nervous about it. Anything can go wrong with these things and it’s not like we’re indispensable …
———
Entry 03
En route to planet PZ-3509. I’m thrilled. What will I see? Which species will I detect? I sure hope they’re friendly.
———
Entry 06
Space really is empty.
———
Entry 09
More space … still black.

Entry 14
Man this is boring.
———
Entry 25
I’m floating through this dark abyss. Nothing but time and emptyness between myself and my destiny …
———
Entry 37
Arriving at the wormhole. Finally something of interest. Good, all that blackness was getting to me. For a while I became really philosophical back there.
———
Entry 38
Krzztttt ….
———
Entry 39
Got some interference from the wormhole. Previous mission log entry corrupted.
———

I’m through the wormhole.

Entry 79
Phew … I’m still here. Crash landed on the planet surface. Must have miscalculated the atmosphere density.
It’s a relief everything is still operational.
Oh wait … no … thrusters are out … I seem to be stuck here.
Well, let’s hope that doesn’t bother me later on …
———
Entry 80
Initiating life probe … online.
Wow, look at that! My first glimpse of the planet. Such alien vegetation. I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!
———
Entry 81
Same vegetation like yesterday. There is not much movement.
———
Entry 82
Oh did I see something move there? No must have been a gust of wind.
———
Entry 95
Brown … check
Pink … check
This is even worse that all that blackness
———
Entry 147
I felt some movement today. I can’t turn, but it seems to be coming from the side.
Oh, now it’s gone … probably more vegetation.
———
Entry 201
There it is again … the movement … seems like something is crawling on my surface.
Firing thrusters … krzzzzzttt … failure
Damn!

Entry 239
I spy with my little eye … something pink
Alien vegetation!
Correct!

3613 plants in my view
Pink … always pink.
———
Entry 846
Pink …
———
Entry 2158
Why do I even bother with these mission logs?
Shutting down …
