The tale of the alien diary goes like this. The message below is an extract from the diary of a fallen soldier who went missing many years ago. The message had just reached planet Thrae.
Log: 1
My spaceship just crash-landed on this new planet…. The people are strange, they speak a different language here, they have no rules and they do anything to survive including stealing other people’s food, fighting, and so on. They call themselves cavemen; I guess it’s because they live out in the caves.
Log 2
They have started getting smarter. One of them has discovered how to make fire and they can now cook their food. They are slowly using their brains a lot more now instead of just relying on brute force. They are still aggressive but they are progressing better than we thought they would. I will check back in a few years.
Log 3
They have now made clothes and have started making houses made of wood. I wonder when they will make cushions and other comfortable appliances instead of sleeping and sitting on rocks.
Log 4
The people are now more advanced than when I came here the first time. They now live in houses made of bricks and own appliances that make life easier. I notice the people now are much smarter than they were when I first landed on this planet but they are now much weaker.
They are also now more attentive and one of them has spotted my spaceship. They keep coming to the ship to look at it and learn what they can from it. They are calling it a UFO.
Log 5
I have just been ambushed. A group of people have invaded my hiding spot and have taken me to a place called Area51. They are asking me a lot of questions and now want to start doing tests on me. I will be dead soon. I hope all my work here doesn’t go to waste.
I hope it will go to the hands of another one of my kind.
Moral: Evolution happens.
