Recommended Posts

My journey in this world has only just begun and I have discovered a great number of wonders to behold. The structures that the humans have created for themselves are quite admirable in their own way. Though I am not sure if I approve of the rigidity at preserving a single form, nor do I condone the methods of pollution. I was however overjoyed to discover that many of the humans not only were of a similar mindset, but were actively attempting to change the technology to conform to a more "eco-friendly" way of doing things. "Eco-friendly" is a term the humans use to represent that this form of technology does not damage and kill the planet as rapidly as the current version. This perplexed me as I had previously learned the definition of "friendly" and the two did not seem to match. After observing the interaction of several friends in the park, I believe however that the comparison was quite apt.

I have much to tell the Creators when I converse with them next.

Tempest’s personal journals:

December 3rd

Upon the suggestion of some members of the hero community, I shall begin to keep what they refer to as a journal. It appears to be chronicling of my experiences during the course of the day, written from my own perspective. The humans seem to do this so that they experience a “reflection†on their experiences. This is another one of of those human saying I had heard of.

A period of reflection is when you can review the events of the day and possibly glean some insight into the cause and effect of the events that could have been missed without this period of reflection. Perhaps the journal-writing humans are more similar to the enlightenment-seeking humans than either of the two groups realize.

I look forward to the period of reflection which will assuradely be short coming.

…

I do not seem to be experiencing the reflecting sensation. Perhaps my journal is broken?

It appears as if I was mistaken about the functionality of the journal. Unlike mauch of the human techanology, a journal does not perform any of the functionality on its own. It is entirely dependany on the operating human for all of its input and it does not generate any unique output on its own. It does however provide the ability for the operating human to reference their thoughts from periods of time long past with a perfect recollection, assuming that the writing has not been damaged over time.

The humans would refer to technology such as this as a tool or a reference work. It is entirely dependant on the user for any of its applications, but the user has an easier time of completing their task if they utilize such a tool.

The humans use of tools is a most wonderous concept, but at the same time I believe that it is the reason that the humans have become lost with their connection to the planet. The tools can do a great number things, I cannot deny that fact, but what I can dispute is to whether the gains that this technology grants the humans is worth the price that the environment is paying for the human’s practices.

PS – I believe the reflecting process is working now.

“Boom de ya da, Boom de ya da, Boom de ya daâ€

I do not yet understand this phrase but I have found it to be a most intruiging phenomina. What my studies have deduced so far is that this phrase was used with frequency on the Discovery Channel. This was part of a commercial on the televison which showcased a number of the star humans singing this particular phrase. The star humans are a group of humans that regularly appear on the various sorts of television programs that the Discovery Channel shows. This includes the Mythbusters humans, the Deadliest Catch humans and the Mike Rowe human.

There were also a number humans that I am unfamiliar with. By all appearances, they seemed to be a collection of civilian humans with no one obvious connection. Though I have yet to grasp the meaning of the phrase, when I hear it, I believe the humans would call this emotion happiness. I shall therefore attempt to use this phrase in conversation with the humans so that I may gauge their response to the use of the phrase.

I believe that I now have cause for some concern. I journeyed high into the nearby mountains so that I may converse with the Creators this afternoon as I do everyday. However, I found myself unable to reach them. This has never happened before. I do seem to be suffering from what the humans refer to as fear or anxiety over this matter. I tried to do what the humans do and "put it out of their mind" but I found it quite difficult to remove. Perhaps because it is such an important part of me that I am unable to do this or it is merely because I am not human and it is a unique ability that the humans possess.

Whatever the reason, if I find myself unable to converse with the Creators again tomorrow, then I shall need to investigate this matter. Perhaps I should turn to the other heroes for assistance in this matter?
