Centurions Log, 12th Granite, 201.
So, I've been here a few days now and sort of gotten to know my exactly who I'm serving with. Well, sort of.
One of them, Phantom Kolked, ran off as soon as we arrived, saying something about it being rabbit season. A few minutes later rabbit corpses stared turning up around our makeshift camp, most of them looking as if they'd been bludgeoned to death with something, most likely that crossbow I aw Phantom carrying about.
I've set Dogar to butcher the rabbits, no point in wasting good meat.
Note- have someone carve some bolts for the lad before something bigger and meaner than rabbits start showing up.
Other than that, things are going about as well as can be expected. I've chosen an area that borders on the sea with a small cliff as our camp. It should be defensible enough once we've walled off the area, though that'll have to wait on me mining some usable rock out of the ground. I'm not too good with a pick, unfortunatly, and most of it just sort of shatters into rubble.

Well, I've got the farms set up. Phatom is brining in more rabbits, and Dogar is butchering them, though he complains about getting the blood all over his uniform.
Samus, our axe dwarf and woodcutter, is doing a good job of bringing wood into the camp. We'll need it soon enough to make beds.
Oh, while mining out some limestone for our walls, I've struck a vein of Malachite. It'll be useful once we've to make some basic weapons and armor, in time.

Moved food storage underground, will have to move it again once we've set up a proper mess. I'll have to expand it again soon, at the rate that Phantom brings in the rabbit and Labs brings in the fish. Assuming we don't over fish these waters, and assuming nothing big comes and mauls Phatom, we should be well stocked for the coming winter.

The Blockhouse I've asked Samus to build (Caiman, fortification engineer, being too busy assisting me in mining) is coming a long nicely. Sure, its a bit small and'll be cramped, but Once we get a roof on and maybe even a small guard tower, we at least won't have to sleep in the dirt.

I appear to be getting the hang of this mining business. Doesn't seem all that hard, perhaps I should have joined the the Engineering arm of the legion and become a sapper?
All this mining though has led me to neglect the farm a bit. We'll need those plump helmets to turn into booze soon.
15th Felsite
Well, the walls are up, the roof is on, and the beds are in. Not exactly the lap of luxury, but at least I won't have to sleepin the quarry anymore. Also, the small lookout tower has been started, as has a Trade Depot. On that note, Samus has taken charge of designing the thing. We can only hope it doesn't fall in on itself.

And that's all for now.
Blackburn- Well, we'll see once the first siege rolls around. With a bit of luck, he won't end up face down in the dirt.
