Pfh'Joueur's logs 10.12.0007.09.56 October 12, according to the old Earth calendar, 0007. Durandal began counting again after the early nova, the trih xeem. We have been falling through ... through ... space? time? I do not know what for 7 years now based on an Earth rotation of 365 days. Since the ship's chronometer is set on this time system, I guess it is as good as any. Durandal just reset the year, not the day or month. However as he is the only one who has been conscious of time since year 0, who really knows what the time or year or month is? Does it matter? Pfh'Joueur is what he has taken to calling me. He says it means one who asks too many questions in one of the S'pht languages called Pfh'ortow. He suggests I learn to speak Pfh'ortow and that I have the time it will take to master it. Yeah, sure. Anything you say, boss.
I have only been aware of the passage of time for about three months now. My body is in stasis, along with several thousand other humans. Durandal awakened my brain when he found he needed some other being to watch and wait. He told me to keep these logs because, as he put it, perhaps neither of us will remember this time. I do what he tells me. He is my god. My keeper. My reason for being. He no longer communicates with me through the terminals. His thoughts are my thoughts. And according to him, my thoughts are his. Durandal tells me that when my body awakens, the brain inside that part of me will not remember any of this, and so I must keep the logs. I must make a record. I don't think he cares that much about what I remember, so maybe something else is about to happen. It is all too much. I must sleep. Perhaps in a dream I can make some sense of all of this.
Sorry about the welcoming party, I think the Pfhor are after the D'Hara crystal you brought back from the planet's surface. It may prove to be very useful once Durandal deciphers the code. He should find it helpful in translating the D'Haraine language. I have been reading over my logs, going back to the beginning of my current existence. I will post them as I have time, you can read them as you have time. Take that D'Hara crystal you found and plug it into the array above the central core.
