Panopticon's journal
Well, it has been an exciting few years, turns out it wasn't an expedition I joined, more like a last gasp for the survival of our civilization. I rather enjoyed the boat ride, but many others did not, they even threatened to toss me overboard if I made any more of my biscuits, we arrived with a somewhat smaller crew than we started with and the miners set to digging us in.
The next few years were sort of a blur for me, I didn't have cause to visit the surface much, and eventually I gathered that no one should go up there... ever. I kept to myself in the kitchens and the various overseers mostly ignored me, I did find some excitement though, I punched out a hideous abomination from before the dawn of knowledge, I even made a lot of friends!Seriously, the dude is friends with the whole fort, even a smoke zombie, also he apparently killed that forgotten beast I mentioned earlier I have somewhat fewer now, Chilton was trying to save some people who got stuck on the surface and it all went wrong, I did a short stint in the military then, fighting is hard. But now spring has come, and Chilton told me it is my turn to shine! When I told the others about it they barely stirred from their shell shocked delirium and just went about their business. Come on guys, I know we have had a tough few months, and are trapped in an inhospitable hellhole with no way to escape or get reinforcements, but that doesn't mean you have to be such downers about it! have some special promotion cake(Minced Cuttlefish, Minced Dimple Cups, Minced Quarry Bush Leaves, Minced Giant Olm Tallow)!
