Time and Dirt
(First Day -- Previous Day -- Day 6 -- Next Day)
Day 6
Heliopause Colony on Planet Vertumna, Medbay
“Solane, look! I finally managed to persuade Dr. Instance to let Tiki into your room. Your cutest little xeno friend! Ah... nothing’s changed. But soon, right?
Tiki had apparently breathed in some of the fertilizer dust, and for a small pink creature just the size of an orange it could be dangerous. But it’s fortunately as healthy as it could be, and the little mushroom on its head has only been growing. I wish you could see all of its 8 eyes staring at you now... wait, hey! Tiki, no!
Hey, you can’t get your tentacles and feet on Solane. They still need the rest to recover... No, stop, get away from their fingers, you’ll hurt them! No pinching...
Wait, ... Solane, your hand moved! You really must be waking up soon... Tiki, you genius. You must have sensed it somehow.
You really have a wonderful pet looking out for you, Solane! I wish mine was still around, too. Poor Socks, I couldn’t help that little dillypillar when he refused to eat. One day he was just ... gone.
Anyway, I need to leave and tell everyone that you are starting to recover!”
