The drinks here aren't so bad. Otherwise, I hate the place. It's not that I'm not used to humans thinking they can own anything, including us, but here they even pull that with their own species. The same thing goes for the rest of the squishies on this lousy sandball.

I can't figure out how they justify this. At home it was always because they made us, or they claimed we weren't real people just really good simulations. BS excuses, sure, but they're ones that don't work when pulling that with your own kind. And I know humans in our own universe did that earlier in history, but I still can't grasp how they convince themselves it's right.

I'm tempted to suggest we expand on the importation policy, but the last thing we need is more squishies on Mars. Besides, there are even some slaves here who get freed and then turn right around and buy slaves of their own. If they're really that stupid, we don't need to drop the colony's collective IQ.

Ok, so I can see how the infiltration stuff could be useful. Finding out more about this universe and some of the tech here and stuff like that. But the thing is, couldn't most of that be found out just from some fan database somewhere? Or the Nexus Library?

Why go through all this stuff to get coordinates for other worlds? Our primary reason for being here was the droid situation, right? Well, there are droids here. I may not like this place, but so what... steal those droids and mission accomplished.

But, no, Spider wants to go on some wild goose chase after ship thieves so we can travel all over and see other planets. I guess I'll humor the kid for now.

Well, we now have coordinates for what very loosely passes for 'civilization' on this ball of sand. I am not impressed.

Spider's suggesting a trip back to base, and I'm all for that. Especially since I don't know if it's safe to eat anything here. I swear I just saw a stall that was selling something that looked a lot like some ugly mutant frog. What's a frog doing on a desert planet, anyway? For that matter, how does a whole planet get to be a desert? It's a little unreal for the whole world to have the same ecosystem, isn't it?

Forget it. There's no point in me saying what happened as I'm sure Spider's report is nothing but him laughing about it. And I think he recorded some of it, too. Jerk. He could have done something useful, like tried to help.

We've spotted the reek. This isn't going to be hard at all, but for some reason Spider's snickering about something. The squishies had a collar on the thing with a bit of chain for a leash. Really, all we have to do is go grab the chain and lead it back.

And he's going 'Sure, Dyna, you just go try that...' and snerking. I'll show him.

Remind me why we came back here again?

This time, at least we managed to find what passes for 'civilization' in this giant sandbox. Actually, we found a bunch of people fighting over some big ugly horned creature. I was all for staying out of it until the idiots with the goggles and the bandage fetish started shooting at us, too. Most of them ran off after a while, but so did the big horned thing.

So the other group of squishies have offered pay and a ride into the nearest actual town if we go catch their 'Reek'. I hope it's not named after what it smells like. I also don't remember it on that list of local creatures.

It wasn't a rock formation. It had too many legs, and WAY too many teeth, and... I'm not saying any more. I don't know what it was or what it usually eats. All I know is that once we get back I am never speaking of it again. Ever. I'll make a report in person, and clear things up then, but after that I'm going to try to forget this ever happened.

It's really dark in here, too.

This has been the most boring day of my life. And I'm counting all the way back to when I was Legal and worked as a tour guide in a power plant. Though that was less boring and more just hell. All I have to do is think of that, and this actually doesn't seem that bad. I still feel like some of my systems would have to be melting from the heat, though.

I think I see some kind of rock formation ahead that might be big enough for shade.

Spider's complaining about lack of recon. We are the recon. Unfortunately.

If I find anything other than sand out here in the next couple hours I'm dragging it home and having it stuffed and mounted as proof there's something here other than sand. Unless this is some elaborate joke and there isn't anything here but sand, in which case I'm going to fry the Droid that gave us these coordinates.

Still surrounded by sand. Spider thinks we're lost. If we keep traveling in the same direction, we'd have to find something eventually.

We're in a desert. A warning about this might have been nice, at least I could have dressed appropriately. There's nothing here but rocks and sand. This place also has two suns, by the way. It's still early morning and I could cook an egg on my armor. Nothing else to report, since there's nothing here but sand.

Getting Into This Mess

((How It All Began:

In May, Gate found a robot of unknown origins in a junk store of the Nexus Mall. It was identified the next day as a T3 Utility Droid, from a Star Wars Universe Variant. It only took Gate half a month to learn enough about a completely different universe's robotics technology to repair the droid. Mad scientists are like that.

T3, being an old and somewhat paranoid little droid, promptly ran off. After finding the skittish droid and reassuring it that it was safe, T3 ended up moving in with Gate and family.

By late July, conversations with T3 had Gate convinced that some meddling in the droid's universe of origin was needed. He ended up getting Spider involved, due to Spider's immediate family having been among those in charge of the old RM Underground. The first attempt meant involving the Stardroids, since they had a ship.

A few days later, and armed with coordinates for a planet's surface, Spider decides to go check things out more thoroughly. His parents want him to take someone with him as backup, and so Dynamo ends up along for the trip. Dynamo thinks he's going along to keep King's son from getting into too much trouble. Spider thinks he's taking Dyna along to keep Dyna out of his dad's hair...))
