Lake Nareth: Commander's Journal
Entry #58
Location: Surface of Astraio, near Lake Nareth
Mission Status: In Progress – Theta Station remains unaccounted for
We made descent last cycle.
Theta Station… isn’t here.
Orbital scans showed nothing. No thermal readings, no active signals. The coordinates should have been precise, yet we circled for hours. Searching, recalibrating, doubting our own systems. Nothing. It was like Theta had never existed.
Then I saw the lake.
Nareth, I’m calling it now. It wasn’t on any of our primary scans . Just a shimmering basin tucked between jagged ridgelines, still and vast. It caught the last light of Astraio’s day — streaks of orange and violet mirrored in perfect silence. Above us, the dusk sky burned with stars and the brightness of Orionis' galaxy. Virelia loomed massive, serene, almost watchful.
Something about this place... pulled me in.
I don’t remember issuing the landing order. But we’re grounded now, near the lake’s eastern ridge. Kez said the pressure gauges dipped for a moment during descent. Nothing critical, but enough to make her frown.
Theta may not be here, but I believe we’re close. Or at least closer to something.
We’re going in on foot. The night isn't dark here, so we should have no problem hiking in these mountains. There's no trail, but something inside me says this is the path. Not logic. Not protocol. Just... instinct.
I don’t like trusting instinct on alien terrain. But I like this silence even less.
End log.
