The Aussie Journal - Granite 1, 501.
The wagon's axle broke, stranding us in the middle of nowhere, freezing our collective asses off. Watching Catalyst talk of continuing onto our destination on-foot, I simply laughed and reminded him of the local wildlife. We're already down half the cats we started with, I don't think we can afford to lose any more. Ledi would be... displeased when she arrives.
Phase One completed successfully.

It is summer now, but the fort fares poorly. Whenever clouds gather, we fear what will fall from the heavens as it is quite often a horrible bile that stains the land and blisters our skin to the touch, leaving us blind and swollen.
Thankfully, it is not fatal and subsides after a time. Since our small home was dug out, I have made plans for a basic power source and quarantine shower in the front entrance. Sadly, they are not likely to be completed before the year is up - Only two levels down I discovered an aquifer that spans for kilometers in every direction. Normally an aquifer is a cause for joy amongst the Australis Engineerium, but this will keep me from being able to begin my projects in a way these madmen might be able to follow.
Delays in Phase 2, unable to set the unwitting on their pathsWe number only Four now. Gizogin and Deathsword fell to zombie Ravens and the horror that was the corpse of what had been one of our cats. One of our number was lost to a herd of undead elk, coloquially known amongst our small group as Delk. We would mourn 'Devil Ed', as he called himself, but he has sat back up and started groaning.
The fall of DevilEd
DevilEd is not a happy corpse
I believe his wounds have left Zombie Ed immobile, but I daren't unlock the simple wooden hatch that shields us from the outside world to investigate.
Migrants should be arriving soon. They will prove adequate volunteers to test Subject Alpha to determine external safety to the Site.
