Dec 3rd:
I..Ineed some advice..Badly....I think I'll spend some time with the folks. Strat freash in the new year, hopefully.

Jan 2nd:
For this new year I've asked Buzzard to search for that energy reading that could lead to a Duskstone Emerald I have a fealing that this is the year, I just know it.

Jan 15th:
What a surprise. All the locations I that collapsed already that I've been to all have that Energy Signature. But the strange thing is the Energy signature at Sunset Park is as strong as the one at Lost Labyrinth if not stronger! That could mean that someone got to it before the place collapesed. The only way that they could have gotten it is by going through Mystic Cave Zone. It seems that I'm not the only one after these Emeralds. I must step up the pace before they get any other Emerald.

Feb 5th:
I am currently at Aquatic Ruin Zone. Buzzard picked up another strong signal here. I must work fast before anyone finds out about this.

Feb 12th:
Buzzard has located the precice spot where the signal is comming from. We're setting up camp above the spot and I have a plan to make it look like the site is for something nearby. I'll get this Emerald first.

Feb 29th:
Ah ha! I found an Entracne. I asked Scypier to analyse the Structure to see if it safe. However it seems that it needs some reinforcement, so I sent Sprocket to get some lumber to make it safe. I can't take any chances, so at sunrise, we will enter this ruin and find that emerald once and for all.

March 5th:
I...I...I can't belive this happened.....Scypier.....Sprocket....Buzzard...They......They're .....Gone.....I..I owe them so much......The ruins Collapsed.....I...I failed them....They saved me so many times...Yet I couldn't save them....I failed them..Just like Prof. Howler...

May 22nd:
...I chose not to partake in this year's EX Gear races...I Haven't left my folks place since...The incedent...

July 15th:
I recived a strange card in the mail this morning. On one side there is a phone number and the other side is a wierd symble. Six dots in a shape of a Hexagon with one more in the center...I never seen this before...yet it looks somewhat familiar..Wait, I think I did see this somewhere...But where.

July 20th:
I am back at Ice Cap Zone...My mind still weighs heavy with the loss of my companions...Still I must go on...This could be a clue that I need. I'll enter at Sunrise.

July 21st:
I..I can't belive my eye. I entered the ruin and suddenly the floor dropped on me. I slid down a path into a grand cavern. There before me, A vast City, No a Metropolis hidden beneth the ruins. There are people everywhere. As I dusted myself off someone greated me, welcoming to a place called the Technoguild. At first I had no clue what was going on, then I saw it, The symble on the card was all over this place. The person lead me to a place to sleep and said I'd need to rest after my journey. Before he left I asked him what's the name of this place. He simple called this metropolis Midgard. If I recall that is what Norse called this world(according to Humans). There is something nagging me though...How can such a vast Metropolis hide from the world about for so long?

July 22nd:
I couldn't sleep.. I started wander this place. As I did I heard gunshots. Looking about I saw what looked like a shooting Range. When I entered,, all who were there stoped to look at me, as if I did not belong there. The sign on the wall said free if you bring your own gun so I asked the guy behind the counter if he mind that I shoot my revolver. He said that it was no problem. But one of the other marksmen laughed at my gun. He said that I'd be better with a sqirt gun! I stomped on his foot for that comment and made a bet with him. He had to shoot off all his rounds from his rifle, to which I noted as a bolt-action rifle, before I shoot down a coconut. The Guy behind the counter typed onto a keyboard and a coconut appiered on the roof as well as a target down range. The other guy started to boast that it will take him less then twenty secounds to unload his clip and asked if I wanted to have a head start. I refuse, though I didn't like my chances. The guy behind the counter gave a count down and when he said go I opened fire. My first shot was wide of that coconut but the second knocked it down. The other guy was surprised, But not as much as I was. He still four bullets in his rifle. the guy behind the counter laughed, saying that it took me twelve secound to knock down that coconut. My rival was furious and demanded a rematch but I declined. He continued to incised untill the guy behind the counter said it was closing time. I went back to the room I was given and I finaly went to sleep. Today my guide, who came to wake me up, said we would explore this metropolis.

June 23rd:
Wow this place is vast. Even after two days I've yet to see it all. My guide, who's name I can't recall, said that tomorrow I'd meet the Arbiter. I'm guessing that would be the leader of this place. I must remember to be respectful towards this person, even if the Arbiter is a Tree Rat.

June 24th:
I..I can't belive this day...I meet with the Arbiter, a fox like fellow with Two Tails, in a Power Plant...At least that's what I think it was. He was dressed like a Scienctist and yet he was as courdious as an olden day courtier. He was gazing at a large room below. Within this room was seven pillers; Two at the north end of the room, three in the middle and two at the bottem. However only the two at the top, the one in the center and the one on the left hand side of the bottem were glowing. The other three were dark. As I looked on, someone entered the room with something in their hands. At first I could not make it out as they aproched the Bottem Right piller. Then I saw it, It was an Emerald...A Duskstone Emerald! The person placed it into the piller and it started to glow. The Arbiter, then turned to me and Asked How I found this place. For a moment I didn't realise he'd asked me anything. When he asked again I awnsered that it was by chance. He took noticed that I was distracted and asked me if I would like a closer look at the 'Round' Emerald. I looked at him and asked him what was his need for the Duskstone Emeralds. The Arbiter wastaken aback by the fact that I knew what it was and he said that they were a powersorce for this place long ago before they were stolen. He then admitted that there was still two missing. I did not let on that I found one and that it was broken. Suddenly another person entered the room and said that 'It' was active once again. The Arbiter asked what 'it' said and the person said the same as before "Is he safe?". I came to a sudden thought and asked the Arbiter where the Duskstone Emerald was found. What he told me made my heart sink; Aquatic Ruin Zone! I asked where 'It' was and the Arbiter, Though abit confused, offered to take me there. We went to a nearby building. The noise that place made was deffining at best. The Arbiter lead me to a room with Robot Parts scattered about. There, on a table in the center of the room, I saw them...Or ratther what was left of them...Scypier, Sprocket and Buzzard. As I servaied the wreakage of their mangle and crushed bodies, I saw Scypier twitch. Scypier asked "Is he ok, is he safe?" I addressed him as I normaly would, calling Scypier a slacker and tell that serpant that there was work to be done. Scypier responded with an apology saying that it could no longer perform it's duty but was glad that I was safe. I saw smoke emerge as Scypier shutdown for that last time, it's remaining curicits were burned out. I...I nearly broke down in tears. I turned and walked out of the room. The Arbiter grabbed my shoulder and asked if I knew them. I told him that they were my aids and probably my only tue friends before I ran off. I'm still hurt but now I know they are in a better place.

June 26th:
The Arbiter came to visit me. He asked me what I knew about the Duskstone Emeralds. I did not anwser him, mostly because I didn't trust him. The Arbiter saw he wasn't going to get anything from me, but rather then leave, he asked if I would like to see the rest of the guild. At first I was confused, telling him that I've seen the whole of Midgard. The Arbiter gave a chuckle and explained that Midgard was one of Seven Base Facilities in the Guild. To be frank, I snidly told him how I'd get from one Base Facilities if only dumb luck had helped me find this one. The Arbiter spoke of some kind of Sub-dimensional Transporter Thingy. This is all complete Mumbo Jumbo if you ask me. I told the Arbiter that I need a few days to think about it. He said o.k. and left the room with a bow. I don't know but there is something that stinks around here...And I'm not talking about myself ether.

July 1st:
Spending time in this place has made me feel like a retard. At first, this place looks like a normal Metropolis, but the longer I stay here the dumber I feel. Every one here has some form of scientific knowlage. It all seem to be in the same relation of science as well. I feel like I stuck in a chem lab with about 15000 rocket scientist. The aount of talk about Chemical Physics is driving me bananas. It seems what little that I know is useless to these people. I think I'll speak to the Arbiter and take up his Idea before I need to get myself a Streight Jacket.

July 2nd:
Gheeezzzz! The Arbiter aranged to meet me at one those Sub-Wachamacallit and told the Man there to send me to a place called Mu. As this was being done, he told me that I'd meet the local Arbiter there. He then asked if I had a coat. I told him that I did not but it was no problem for me because I am somewhat used to cold tempratures. When it was ready I entered the machine and within a bright flash I found myself in Mu. Sweet Mother of Pearl it's Cold! The local Arbiter greeted me with a coat and welcomed me, Though he was not as curdious as Midgard's Arbiter. I asked him as he took me to my quarters where this place was. He told me it was in the Northern reachs of the Arctic Circle. As I entered my room for the next few days, I saw the thermomiter. -40*C is what I saw and the Arbiter called that Balmy and Muttered something about Global Warming. If this is Balmy, I must be on the wrong planet.

July 5th:
This place has, by far, the most natural energy sorce I've ever seen. A gigantic Fault runs benith this place and this fault line is at the intersection of two tectonic plates. Using a volcanic fault is very dangerous but for what I'm seeing, these people can do it with no problem. The Arbiter sent a guide for me to go with to see how this place runs. But I can hear that wind outside. It seems there's been a blizzard whipping about out there for a month, but no one here seems bothered.

July 9th:
Today I saw what looked like a transport tunnel with a few geologists standing about. One of them was asking what Mu ment. So I told him what I knew of the word. I was surprised when I was told that I was wrong. I was told that Mu was an archic name for Pangaea but to this group here, it was before the supercontinent Numa. It seems the books need more then a slight update, they need to be writen anew. So I asked them what they were doing and they told methat they were taking readings of the planet's core. At first I gave them a look of confusion and they explained that this Transport Tunnel used to be used for moving from one land base to another until that Sub-Space thingy became active. However this tunnel goes through the center for the planet so now they use it to do check-ups on the core. Seeing that I was out of my element, I bid them ferewell and when off to continue my exploration of this place.

July 12th:
Now I know I'm in a Chem Lab. Hard not to notice an explosion once a day. I was passing by one of these rooms when I saw this one fellow with a Pile of rust and some Alumanum pouder. The fool was mixing them quite fast, so I went in this room and told him to slow down. At first he snapped at me for interupting his work. Then I noticed something that made my heart skip a beat. The table he was working on was made of ice. My pop told me about a mixture call Thermite, a powder mix that can auto-ignight just by simply mixing Iron-Oxide, better known as Rust, and Alumanum pouder. He did warn me that it can Explode if it is lit on Ice. I suggested that the guy to move to another table and he angerly send me out. A few momnets after I walked out, the Thremite went off and exploded a secound or two afterwards. The guy was alright, if a little toasty. He and another passerby were taken to a nearby medical facility, the passerby getting closlined by a table leg, for minor injuries and some burns. I'm glad I listen to my pop on that point, that was close.

July 14th:
Today's was the last day for me to be here at Mu. The Arbiter came to me after that Thermite Explosion and was suprised that I knew it would do that. I told him My dad saw an 'Accedent' that involved Thermite and ice and had warn me about it...But in truth He did not say how he knew about. The Arbiter mention that the Blizzard outside had finaly stoped and asked if I would like to see the 'Eternal Sunset'. Seeing that this would be the first in some time, I said sure. I do say dispite the unbearable cold tempratures, it was a beautiful sight. To be truthful I will not miss waking up with an icicle stuck to my nose.

July 15th:
Today I arrived inthe an underwater base. Fittingly, it is called Atlantis and the Arbiter here is....How should I put this...Is quite the looker. In fact I think she's cute. However I must digress, This place is practicly built in to a deep sea coral reef and I do mean Deep. I reckon about 15MT of presure just on the glass alone. When I got to my room for the next little while, I tried to get some rest. However I found it difficult with a Pair of Angler Fish just a foot or two beyond the glass wall. Then I noticed a button just beside the bed and I pushed it. What ever it did those Fish amscraide from their spot. Must have sent a sound wave at them or something.

July 17th:
My guide took me into a section of the base where they house Under sea life in vast tanks. I swear that I was in a giant pet store. I think that there was 25 different kinds of Sharks just in one tank. It had a rare Greenland Shark swimming with a pair of Great Whites. And how the heck can they fit the six largest whales in one tank, these things must be huge. This place seem to be focused one under sea life research. My guide brought me to one tank in piticuler to see. My jaw might as well droped off my head for what was in this tank....It was a Living Megalodon and it was fighting another perhistoric monster, a Sarcosuchus. The overgrow Gator had escaped it's tank and I saw some of the guide members trying their best to get it back. However the giant Shark was in no mood to share it's dinner with a semi-aquatic gator. I started to worry that one or the other would break the glass walls at any moment. Then my guide told me that the glass was 12ft thick of bullet risitan Glass found on most Armored cars. I took an hour to get these two giants back to where they belonged. That was by far the scarest thing I ever saw, and all I can say is that It Was Epice!

July 18th:
The Arbiter asked me to join an uderwater expadition to one of the many shipwreaks in the area. I was only to happy to go along. So I was taken to a undersea Sub pen...At least that's what it looks like. The Arbiter told me that we were to go look at an old Warship that was two day away. She said that because there are so many that they haven't had time to find all of them, let alone put a name to them. For an Archaeologist like myself this is a great chance for me to show my stuff.

July 20th:
We arrived at the wreak, and I can see that this ship had gotten hit hard. I quickly suspected that It was hit by a torpedo just by seeing the inward bending plates. The Arbiter, who was leading the Endevor, said that it was a Distroyer of some class. I said that I have my doughts and asked if we could have a closer look in the morning. She thought about and said o.k.

July 22nd:
One of the crew members made a bet with me that this was a Distroyer as we went towards the wreak. The Arbiter then said to get into the diving suits which were plain looking but rated for this extrem depth. They told me that they could not find any name or ID of the ship after many countless dives and did not think this one would be any different. As we searched the pirimiter of the wreak I noticed something that made my heart skip a beat. Navel Shells, pilled by stern, spilling out from that large hole in the side. I saw what one of the others called a bulkhead which had failed, covering a way into the ship. It soon dawned on me..I had seen one simler to this ship...Profs. Howler showed me some pictures of a shipwreak that he got to dive on..He told me that it was a Flower Class Corvette. The similarities are too much, this one of this type of class. Then I spoted it, a Bronze Plack. Most of the letters were missing but there was a few. H...C...L...v....That was about it. I called the Arbiter over and showed her my find. She was astounded by this and said that we'd better go back to the sub to see what the database on board could say. As we started to swin back I noticed something that made me swim faster. A depth charge launcher on the was about to fall off and not wanting to take a chance, I got to the sub in a hurry. We just got on board when an Explosion rock the sub. the sub was slightly damaged but the wreak was now a large scrap pile. After a breif snooze, I went to the Arbiter to tell her my hunch, however she was looking at a vast list of ships that were sunk. To her, the list,which had all the letters spaced out as I mentioned above, was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I then suggested to narrow the search to torpedoed Flower Class Corvettes. When she entered the peramiters, the list went from 150 ships to just one. The wreak here is the H.M.C.S. Levis, the first Corvette to be sunk. Lets just say the twenty bucks I got is being used as a bookmark in my log book here.

July 24th:
We'd no sooner arrived back at Atlantis when I saw a door that was restricted. This was the fisrt place I saw that I could not see and this had got me wondering what was there. The Arbiter was abit hush-hush on the matter so I started to ask around for a loud mouth Know-it-all. Boy, did I find one! He told me that the door was to a Genetics Lab where a DNA Database is kept. Now I understand that a creature needs to adapt or die but such a lab makes me sick, if it's what I think it is. We are what we are made to be. To geneticly remove our falts takes away from who we are as a person. I feel ripped off, here was a place I thought was dedicated to nature and it's a Biochemisty fraud!

July 26th:
Tomorrow I'll be leaving Atlantis....I can't say that it was fun but that Genetics lab ruined the tour. The Arbiter told me my next base that I will vist is called Ur...Never here of such a place but she assured me that I'll feel light on my feet.

July 27th:
I arrived on Ur and how they made this place out of this world. It's on the moon. However the Arbiter here wasbusy with something when I arrived. It seems that the machine that controls the gravity in this section was on the fritz andI did feel light on my feet. I slowly hopped up on to a high ledge to see what I could. I jumped off that ledge just as the Machine was fixed......OW. Thankfuly I landed on someone, at least thankful for me anyways. When the Arbiter did come to see me, he bluntly told me that this palce does Physics research and had already heard what happened at Mu. However they still didn't understand what was going on in that caused the explosion.

Aug 1st:
I stumbled across the Thecnoguild's central archives. My jaw dropped when I saw how vast this was. This place seems to go for miles and is at least seven stories high. How anyone can find something in here is beyond me. I think I'll be spending quite some time here.

Aug 16th:
I got so caught up in the Archives, the Arbiter thought I left already. But my head is hurtting like heck. However I did find out about the Emeralds of the Sun...or should I say Sol Emeralds...However the Archives still have lots of gaps in there. All I know is that my research would fill very little but an important part of history here...But before my head explodes I'll final explore more of this base. But the vast amout of Artifacts makes me want to stay here...I'm torn..

Aug 19th:
I've asked the Arbiter if I could go for a space walk...But he told me that it was too dangerous at this time because of a metor shower. He did tell me that tomorrow would be a better day. so I'll wait.

Aug 20th:
Now I understand why now one on the planet knows about this place... It's cloaked in a large creater. The power seems to come from hidden Satellites is some form of orbit. These are also hidden and send comunications to guild members around the world...Those 'Big Brother' conspiricy bloodhounds down there who claim that ever move of theirs is being watched are not so off kilter as everone thinks. It is however one thing to see a sun rise on the planet then to see the planet itself rise on it's moon..It is spectacular.

Aug 21st:
It seems that the Sub-Di...thing-a-ma-gigy was develpoed here. The compilcated thing is all nonsence to me. However I've yet to hear any Explosins from lab experaments around here. Maybe this place has a strict rules for getting ride of waste, unlike the Mu base. And though it's always nice, it's boring as heck around here. Everone here seems busy and to peroccupide with whatever they are doing.

Aug 23rd:
Well tomorrow I will be heading to the next base. The Arbiter told me that he could not see me off because of some 'Sub-Space' research or something. Normaly I would feel offended, but when one small mistake could blow off half the moon, I understand the prioraties. The Arbiter told me that the next base is called Shambhala...City of Peace....Must be another place of natureal reseach...I hope that it does not involve Genetics like Atlantis did.
