Traveling Light - P4

Personal Log

I have discovered what has caused the tremors. The tall beings I have seen appear to be, either a smaller species, or the young of much larger creatures. One such beast went past me today just as I was leaving the ship and as it stepped down it brushed up against my ship and made the ground shake. I have never been so terrified in my life. I was so scared that I lost my natural ability to blend in the surroundings. If the beast hadn't been so huge, it would have seen me.

I cannot see how my people could ever be able to establish communication with the creatures of this world but I know a few scientists that would give everything to try. For them I will capture all the information I can.

I have gathered every piece of scientific equipment that has its own powersource, although limited. It is lucky that my ship was equipped with a device to record sound as it appears to play a large role on this planet. It is not so long ago that our scientists discovered that sound exists, since our species does not make or sense it.

All instruments have been turned on. They will keep running, recording, analyzing, until they run out of power. I will be dead long before that.
