Planet of Good Hope - A Journaled Journey of 2488

We only just raised the sails in the strong solar wind towards the east of our planet. Our crew of four in our brand-new sailship made fully of composite materials, granted by the president, departed from the port of Nobsil early in the day. The winds are exceptionally strong, so in spite of the rough ride, we came by a habitable planet untouched by eco-civilization. The blueness of the planet surpasses that of our beloved Lagutrop. In goodwill, we have decided to name this the Planet of Good Hope.

Upon reaching the atmosphere, we immediately noticed peculiarities in the air. On top of the undeveloped land filled with solid, grey, and reflective replica forests and grid-like webs looming over the terrain, we noticed very intrusive smells emitted by what seems to be primitive people who reside in the forests. This smell reminds one of a burning forest, except that the substances they burn are dug up and not harvested, often darkening the glamour of the land.

After further interaction, we can confirm that the people are extremely primitive. Their source of energy comes solely from the burning of dug-up fossil fuels, no different from what Prometheus did. Without a great way of maintaining personal hygiene, the residents simply transform the blueness of the planet into one-time rinsing liquids that they pump through a web of pipes similar to their transportation network. This process is highly inefficient in terms of time as well. The typical process of showering oneself in artificial rain goes upwards of 2 Lagutrop hours. Speaking of the primitive residents’ transportation network, the disorganized web without a clear design weaves in between the grey forests of uneven height. The web also acts in similar fashion to that of a spider, with single-use tools and waste stuck in random patterns. These unmaintained, artificial contraptions further show potential for development.

Further, the primitive residents of the Planet of Good Hope also dress in highly disturbing ways. Artificial threads are joined into extremely flimsy cloths that barely act as any covering for the body. When inquired about how they attained such clothing, the residents, without a clear spoken language, simply kept repeating the sounds “Temu! Temu!”

Lastly, the planet also has no established local support systems when it comes to all the necessities of life. Nutrients attained from fruits, produce, and sweets, among other resources, are distributed through a centralized system and travel the circumference of the planet approximately 3 times before reaching their anticipated destinations. This system also operates on very poor maritime routes through very thin canals that the locals refer to as “Amanap”, which often fail due to poor planning and artificial interference.

After brief observation, we can conclude that the newly discovered Planet of Good Hope is a suitable habitat after further development.
