My Past is Gone, my Former Life lies behind me far away. I have got a Second Chance and i wont look back. I will put on this Diary because i dont know whats Await me and i dont know anyone or Have any Goals or Friends who care about me.
Soon the Shuttle will Arrive Calypso, the Promising Colony in outer Space - my new Home. As far i know, the Planet could be a Paradise but Hostile native Creatures Roaming it. After almost every brave Colonists got Slaughterd by the Renegade Robot Forces the Project became a bad Reputation on Earth. The Federal Empire have reacted and set up a Bounty System for Killing Evil Belongings and Bringing the Colonisation Forward. Because of This luck based Bounty System that can make you Wealthy or poor, the Colony got the Attention of all Kind of Gamblers And Mercenaries who seek Fortune. The Rumors about rich Mineral Deposits was also Noticed by the Miners Guilds and Clever Buissnes Men trying to Establish their Activitys on the new Growing Market. Individuals with different Ideologies of Relegion and or Goverment have left the Earth like the Pilgrims used to Leave England to make a new Life elsewhere long Time ago. The Empire promised not to interfere as long no one Try to Brake their Monopolys on Repair and Ammunition. Its not Allowed to Craft them because the Empire fears that one Day Calypso could declare Independet from Earth and a Brood War could Start.
I can see Calypso now. I looks wonderfull from the Space. We pass a Space Station.Dark Urban Rumors about this Installation have Spread under the Colonists like Wildfire. I dont plan to Visit it soon.
The Shuttle is landed. I have nothing but my Cloths and a Head full of Plans.
Soon the Arrivals spread in all Directions and leave me allone on the Space Port. Some Employes offer Basic Informations about the Services provided and provide a few Hints how to get Started.
I Enter the Town and feel like on an Bazar in Istambul. Everywhere People Yelling Offers and Requests, its Loud somewhere Music is Playing everyone is Busy , it feels like an Ant Hill but i know there is an Order in it. No one Notices me, i greet some People and barely greeted back. They all look at me , seeing my Orange Suit and losing Interest. Just a few Jerks trying to make me very good Deals about Weapons but as soon i tell them i have no Monney, they run back in the Holes they came out. From Time to Time i see big Orange Clouds Sourrounding Mans and Womans in Shiny Armor or Cool Fashion who Pretend to bee Mentors , helping Newcommers. Iam Skeptic and Decide to Ignore them a while bevore i make something i Regret later. Im still Thinking about my Situation as someone Snake in my Back and Touching me. He tell me because he found me First i have to Join his Society. He looking Strong and posing like a Monkey in Front of me. I start Running and manage hes lose my Track. I see a Trade Terminal , same as on Earth and i looking into it. But they offer only very Basic Equipment here. But i dont Care, i dont have any Monney to buy me the Smallest Thing.
I reach the Docks, on the Other Side i see a Lot of People doing Strange Dances in Front of some Small Creatures. I decide to have a look on it and swim to the Other Side of the Docks. Im asking what they Do and someone tell me they trying to Gather the Sweat from the Animals. Suddenly i Remember about the Prospect of Calypso. Two Essences was found here who amplify Humans Mental Strenght making it Possible to Develop Psionic Skills. Its Amanzing. There are also Implants delivered who controll the Psionic Process and resulting in various Effects. I do what the others do and start dancing. Soon i feel like in Trance in Front of me an Animal that cant reach me because it can not Jump High Enough. I see the Sweat Pearls and try to gather it. Its Pretty Hard but after a few Trys i really Made it to get some Sweat. On a Tree some Suspectious Looking Traders offering to Give me Monney for the Sweat. Some Demonstrants, Leading by Elisabeth from the Drows Society yelling all time not selling to them because they trying to cheat you paying not enough. I keep Collecting Sweat
and some Rare Monents i get into Talk with someone. Its Hard without Monney and Seating is Hard work, nothing you do for the Fun of it, thats what i soon Learn. I work hard and finally i have 1000 Bottles of Vibrant Sweat who i sell for 1.4 PEC each. Im so proud i made it for that Price because usally they only pay 1.0 - 1.3 Pec for it.
But short after that something happens. A Incredible Cool Looking Person apears on the Sweating Place. Herr Green Coat looks pretty between all the Orange and behind Cool Dark Shades she Introduce herself as Analytic Thunder. Shes really Buying Vibrant Sweat for 1.6 PEc/Bottle. Im Broke. Only a few Minutes shes buing Sweat and left again. I never saw her again.
I haven’t Watched the Enviroment and something Painfully Scratches my Leg. a Horde Animals snaked on me and i feel incredibly Agony. It become Dark and Light im Blind. As i can see again i find myself in Port Atlantis. Im Shocked ! Im died and finding myself in a Clone. Thanks to the Enhanced Imperial Technology all my Knowledge was Transferred in my New Body. But how about my Soul ? I died and i feel it wasn’t the Last Time. Is that Really me ? I will never Know but life goes on for me and i still need Credits.
Back to the Docks i see the Animals ripped the Sweaters apart. A few could Survive by jumping into the Wather. It seems the Calypso Cratures cant Swim at all. Thats Strange but well thats another Planet. Manny Things Strange here. Mushrooms grow Like Trees Plants i couldnt Imagine in my wildest Dreams Grow around and Animals looking Pre Historical to early Earth History
roaming around.
A Message goes to my Communicator, someone Killed an Atrox and got alsmost thausend PED for it and Recorded in the Hall of Fame. That was the Luck Based Bounty System i talked about bevore. Lucky one, almost 1000 PED. I had 12 PED so far. I Recognized someone near the Tree who looked Different to the usal Lowminded Newcommer Ripper Salesmens. He was awnsering Patient Questions and said he accept a few Disciples to Teach them how to Survive. Well i abadoned my Dreams about a Peacefull Life as i Died the First Time. On Earth you could have an Life without Force and Violence but here on Calypso it was on Every Coner. I had to learn how to Defend me or i would not made it to get here Settleld. I was a bit insecure about Communications he came from Sweden and i lived in Germany. But we found out we can Understand us pretty well in English. So i became the Disciple of Dolph TJ Lundstrom from the Delta Force Society.
Questions are Free, thats good i had a Lot of Questions about the most Common Professions here. My Earth job wasn’t Questioned here. I allready Knowed what Sweat Gathering was. But to be honest, i dont like it. I had allready a few Peds Earned by Sweat Gathering but it was not Enough to do anything usefull with. So i gathered some More Sweat the Days and had a Lucky Meeting with ColJack. I was sweating some Nasty Animals Trapped in an Old Saurus Skeletton as he appeared. We was gathering Sweat together
and talked about God and the Universe as the Beasts went Free and Butchered us within Seconds. We found us back in an small Outpost West of Billys Spaceship Afterwards Scavenger Base. We had to Brake Trough a Wall of Drones and other Evil Beasts when we wanted to get Back to Billys. We Ventured out and snaked us away of the Robots. As we just 1000 Meters away from the Guard Towers of Billys Base we found us Sourrounded by Evil Creatures who went after us. There was nothing i could do but ColJack put out a Rifle and Fought for our Lifes. One Creature had allready Eaten someone and we found a full Fast Aid Pack-5. He gave me that Aidpack in Order to Heal him while Fighting. I was happy to have some use now. We did well but Coljack started to get Lazy and circled us in a Situation where we was Overhelmed by pure Ammount of Enemys. Coljack fighted brave but he got Slaughterd i runned and made id heavy Wounded into the Guard Tower Range.
Some Hours later Coljack arrived too, i wanted to give him His Fast Aid Pack pack but he just said, “You can keep it if you want”. Thankfull i accepted this and will never forget about. I sold it on the Trade Terminal and had Earned now 32 Ped. Dolph my Mentor came the Other Day and encouraged me to Search some Teleporter. I did so and got a better Image about the Planet i life now. I saw wonderfull Places full of Beauty for the Wachter who bring Time with. I visited the Ruins of a Destroyed Citadell saw the Capital and finally got some Cloths there. I sweared me, no more Orange Cloths. I got some White Pants and a Blue Shirt, also some more Comfortable boots than the Standard Colonist Jumpers. I feelt like new Born. My Mentor tought it where Time for the First Combat Lesson. He gave me an Axe 1x0 for the Value you can get in the Trade Terminal. I repaired the Axe and ventured out in the Southeast of Port Atlantis. …
Dear Diary
The Life on Calypso is fast and Time fly away, yes i havn’t write in you for a few Weeks now and a lot of Things happen worth to be write down.
I couldnt belive at first but the Earth Bank told me i had an old Account i had forgotten and Transferred my Peds to Calypso. It was 7000 Peds, seems i have really forgotten my Past allready. Gratly i recived my Wealth and Suddenly Calypso changed from the Hostile Place to a Paradise. Yes life can be soo easy if you have the Monney to make your Dreams real. The first Action was getting me some Shades. The Everlasting Suns of Calypso hurt my Eys and i needed badly this Protection. I changed my Settler Wear against some nice Blue Cloths and got me a Leaf Barret. That dressed i feelt like a new Human and i recognized a big Change in the Attitude by Strangers dealt
with me. Cloths make People, yes thats still true. The next Thought was about Protection. Even with my new Wealth i realized someday the Monney would off and i should better Invest something in Training and Protection to survive later. I slenderd around and asked about Good Armors and got the Hint that Rascal could a good Investment for me. I bought my Rascal set from Scalon for only Trade Terminal Value +39 Ped. I guess she made a Mistake but she was in Hurry, she wanted to get Rid of the Armor and tryed sience 2 Days and she thought it was less repaired as it was as we set up the Deal. I meeted Scarlon a few Times ago and think she survived it. In my Eys shes a fair Trader who offers good Equipment to not too Expensive Prices.
I buyed from another Guy 6 more Rep Edge Battle Axes 1x0 for TT+.05 , Yes it was my Lucky day. So i had now a Jester with Azlek Scope and Arberer Laser Sight , 8 Axes and a Full Rascal Set. So Prepared i feelt Ready to try my Luck on the Bounty Gambling for Killing Hostile Creatures to make Calypso a better Place for Humankind. I will make a Big jump now, Killing Young Exaosaurus and Combibos went to a bloody Routine. Soon i didnt saw the Blood and Gore anymore just another Death Creature and Hell i cared more about my Reward than if it had Family or not. I hunted Exessive and learned Quick. I graduated in Lightspeed and made my Mentor Dolph proud. On the Skill Table my Abiletys in Using Longbladed Weapons arrange around 2700 allready. I saw other People buying Chips but i wouldnt spend my Monney on that. Alternatively i got me Mining Equipment and started to Prospect around the Continent and meet Ikkes Ikkes Ikkes. He claimed to be a Professional Miner and gave me some nice Hints about Mining at all. We stay in lose Contact and sometimes i still asking him about Ore Prices and stuff.
My Training Payed out. I got a very Lucky Week and Hit 4 Hunting and 1 Mining High Payout called Hof. I couldnt belive but Realety got me faster than i tought again. The Time after i didnt made on Run where i gatherd Profit. Monney Comes and Monney Goes but most time more goes than Recived. But well thats the Life of a Calypso Inhabitant. People dont get Tired promising everything become better when you skilled enough. I want to Belive them, i see the High Payouts all time, not thinking about the Effords and Monney Put in bevore the Recivers was able to get it. Yes, i belive in that System. I have a Long Path to go like everyone else but i belive in the Project Entropia and i Belive in the Future of Humankind on this Planet.
Apart from my Little Sorrows and Life some Strange Things happen. A very Wealthy Person who visited Calypso to make some Black Marked Buissnes with Stolen Equipment Crafted by the Legendary Roman Ram got Assassinated from Genetic Altered Creatures. His Death is still Mysterious and no one knows who stand behind this Strike. One of the Missed Items was Found in a Creature who eaten the Poor Mister Wrakt. Well the Founder was happy and no one, not Even mister Ram claimed to hand him the Item back.
Rumours say there may more Items lost but no one knows Facts.
Another, bigger Thread seems to come from the Renegade Robots. They seem to Evolute and become more and more Superior compared to us Humans. Our Firepower and Armor is still enough if our finest Warrior Fight against the Robot Menace. But for how long ? Hadesheim Intellegence set some Prices for specific Kind of Robot Equipment to Analyze the Progress of Robot Evolution and getting a Explainion why they not longer trying to Attack our Citys.
Thats all Scary and i fought allready against some of their Early Constructer Modells. I didnt found the Parts who searched but i found an Anicent skull from a Creature whos not from This Planet. It looks Horrible full of Sharp Tooths , its like pure Evil. I hope this Race dosnt Exist anymore and if they do they better not Planning to Come back. Better for us of course
Every Day hold some Suprises for me
Lets Hope the Next days dont have bad Suprises for us all.
The Robots gather Strength Reinforcments of Trained Soldiers from Earth are not very Likely and Sometimes it feels like Time work against us. I have to get Stronger and Better, we all have, we have to Fight for our Planet !
I will write more in my Diary when i got Time and feel delight to do so.
As i know the Ignorance and even hostile Attitude from some mid and Highlevels against noobs im really happy to see that the world isnt as cold for new players as i expected. But the Timeframe is too short to make a judge yet.
