night 3
got a good chuckle
telescope spied surf landings
flags displayed
green - ok landing
black - technical issue
blue - communications

further visual inspection
revealed tentacled life
crawling over landers
sparks spitting when
tentacle first touches

begin to suspect
life here on first name basis
with electricity

knowing my heart
goal will be
vacate them without harm
persuade to coexist
gift a favor for parking in surf
talk to them

start data transfer
lightning on the way

day 2
deploy solar panels
check map download
4 more landers
ok and functional
waiting for 3 more
the surf landings

clear at dawn
outside sounds drift in
cheering my morning
busy and lightheated
stark contrast with night

clouds rolling in
storm on the way
may put the telescope
on the mast today
run it up as high as will go
perhaps glimpse
the surf landings

my heart and 2 progeny
all are smart capable
full of ingenuity
they will come online
tomorrow i hope

for now
analyze data

night 2
humidity low
sky clear
stars out
2 moons visible
a third starting to rise

enviro sampling and analysis
is chugging away
air elements are breathable
so fresh air tonight
but must be biofiltered

airborne biologies
sample over an entire year
for valid results

no sparkly glowing trails
in the clearing tonight
perhaps humidity related

with the stillness
sounds
emanate from the forest

start upload download of data
hope to see final 7 soon
fall asleep listening
to outside

@TrueBloodNet

if you have any apple devices

you could get an airtag
use your apple device to locate

@tyghebright

congrats!

just a side note

people are more likely
to make a successful
transition to living
in the pacificNW

if they move up here
by the spring equinox
as close as feasible anyway

absorbing the daylight
in our much longer days
between the spring to fall equinoxes

greatly helps getting thru
the much shorter days
between the fall to spring
equinoxes

day 1
dawn
melting icy particles
scrubbed sparkly trails
rock spire has bronze swirls
in a light grey matrix
spiraling into clearing

deploy solar panels
to top off batteries
check map download
for friends and family in
3 concentric rings of hexes

all but 7 have checked in
the arc directly west
the ocean landings
are still absent

perhaps only time needed
those landings most difficult
to stabilize and anchor
especially directly west
shallow ocean, surf, tides
where my heart is

#scifi

night 1
fell asleep
waiting for midnight
to upload landing info

bright flash of lightning
ka-boom of thunder
icy pops against the porthole
remedy that lapse

glance at snoop monitors
look out the porthole
for IRL impression

sparkly glowing trails
wind all about the clearing
ship included

flash - ka-boom
bolt of lightning
briefly glued to nearby rock spire
light flows down
radiates out across the clearing

report in
start download of map
of those safely down
in each 100 km sq
