Well this is working once again, isn't it? Hell, it's been 3 or four months since I last used this. Despite my little camp, this place seems to have a lot of animals with herding instincts. The meat does not taste the best but it's okay. Even at that I am not sure how to send out an S.O.S. I do not have enough power for a system wide signal, and even if I did patrols around here are scarce. I need to conserve all the power I can.
I am working on a method that might have my answer, but it will require a hell a lot of experimentation. I might be able to broadcast a signal, but first I need to generate power. The nearby river might be of some use... anyway, power just went down 1%. This electric journal needs to save it's power. Martin out.
Where I was born was not my choice, but where I want to be, and what, is.
Yes yes yes! How long did this take me? I don't know how long it's been, but long. I got electric working. It took me so long.
So much building up... when I last entered this I managed to make primitive tools, but my problem with getting the power to my ship was the components to make and carry the power. Power cords ect. I did it though. Water powered! Ha!
What I manged to do eventually was find a copper vein about 50 kilometers (that's a guess) upstream from camp sticking from the side of a rocky outcrop. I managed to break parts off, and melted it and strung it into crude strands back at camp. After what I was guess half the time I've been here I had a weak electric current going, but had to make more wire that would safely travel to the ship.
When I got it to the ship, it took about 20 planetary revolutions for the weak amount to charge the ship fully. I got that now, and have been broadcasting the signal for the last 3 hours. I just hope this signal makes it far enough, I've estimated and given the power output of the S.O.S. it should be heard at least system wide, traveling at the speed of light. Hopefully they can triangulate the source to the planet, and follow it until the signal gets stronger. Otherwise I've described the area that I explored out in the time since. Seems it's subtropical here and plains to the northeast, small mountain range to the west. Included that in case it helped.
Now to sit and wait, and party with an extra helping of food tonight.

I have been reinstated into the Rheinland military... so long M.I.A. I forgot what it was like to be around people. But I seem to remember how to fly pretty good. Right away due to low numbers I took up to helping a squad fight Unioneers. I manged to take down two. Would of gotten a third I laid fire down on, but one of his shots hit me hard and rocked my ship, and I missed my chance. Took seven of them in for custody.
Seems some things have changed since I left... yet it all is so familiar. I wonder if my dad is still alive.
