CHAPTER 1
Aprimay, 5500
7th of Aprimay, 5500

Crash landed. It’s a rimworld, no doubt. Our journey was far from over. 

 

We're lucky to be alive. The boys are shaken but unscathed. Fennel's okay too, miraculously. 

​

Priority: assess supplies, check for immediate dangers.

8th of Aprimay, 5500

Morning

Work begins early.

 

Coleman is assigned to build a shelter. Tommo's dedicated to farming.

 

I’m hauling, taking inventory, writing these logs.

9th of Aprimay, 5500

Morning

Investigated the southern cave.

 

Encountered a megaspider - living nightmare.

​

No one goes in the southern caves. New rule.

​

Evening

We convened, discussing strategies. The threat beneath us is real.

 

Coleman proposes fortifying against the cave creatures. I agree.

 

Defense is our priority; sleep will be uneasy tonight.

Kevin reels as a megaspider roars, deep in a dark cave.
10th of Aprimay, 5500

Afternoon

Fortification efforts underway. Patching vulnerabilities, sealing off dangerous areas. 

​

Tommo speaks of offense, a proactive stance. The land's challenges are shaping us, hardening our resolve.

14th of Aprimay, 5500

Early Morning

Low rations. Rifle loaded for the hunt - a necessity for survival.

 

Left instructions for Coleman and Tommo to start on an office for my research.

​

​Late Morning

Successful hunt. A buck.

 

Returned to see Coleman laying office foundations. Good boy.

 

We eat tonight, tomorrow we build our future.

15th of Aprimay, 5500

Dawn

Surprise arrival of three domesticated goats. Signs of other settlers?

​

We discussed the goats' fate. I would have slaughtered them, but the boys insisted we keep them.

​

Started constructing a pen.

Tommo greets the goats that arrived at the colony.
Kevin hunts a deer for meat in the early morning
1st of Jugust, 5500

Afternoon

The boys want a settlement name.

 

Tommo’s ‘New Dawn’ against Coleman’s ‘Stalwart Haven’.

​

The boys decided on Stalwart Haven, symbolizing safety and strength.

​

Evening

Over dinner we discussed a name for us, the family. Life would have us share no common surname, despite our common blood.

​

Nilsson, Coleman, Lakin. But who are we?

​

Tommo found the name of our crashed ship on a piece of wreckage. The Endurance. We chose The Enduring, a fitting name.

​

Whatever comes, we'll meet it as The Enduring, anchored in our Stalwart Haven.
