A while ago, I created an account on The Final Outpost.

It started off as something experimental, but as I explored the details, I quickly became more and more intrigued!

It's a fun concept, that of breeding creatures to repopulate a planet. I didn't remain as invested as in the first couple days, by that time I had already bred some adult creatures and perused the capsule varieties [spoiler spoiler XD] - all I can say, it's a fun experience, and if you like virtual pets, it's definitely a must. They grow quicker and turn happier, stronger and the like through clicks!

However, I do have one bittersweet take, and it's on me only to blame (or not ;D ), which is the 600-char limit for our lab descriptions. In one way, it should be more than enough, a simple description, but the premise is too good, the ideas too many! I got carried away...

And that's where I wanted to get to: I'll be putting here, below, the full version of my OC's "lore", and some added story which of course, I wouldn't have added there. All is very much just a draft... - And when I mean "draft", it's actually three different ideas thrown into a melting pot for language practice purposes. You've been warned, lol.

RENDERING SCENE:

A laboratory, hewn from stone and glass, clings to the side of a snow-dusted peak. Sunlight, sharp and clear, pours through a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating every corner. Dust, glistening, floats adrift within the radiant shafts.

DRAFT #02:

FIELD REPORT: # 03261

DESIGNATION: R.00918

LOCATION: Station H6

STATUS: stabilization in process. outputs normal.

OBSERVATION SUMMARY:

I've finally reached the outpost, no signs from the target. The assistance bot was deactivated (probably battery replacement) - but I managed to recover data logs from 20XXE-A to 20XXI-A2.

As told by previous contacts, indeed she's ever wandering; the lab gathers all the relics uncovered over decades of expeditions, from the highest mountains... and deepest seas, it... seems.

As one enters, the eyes meet neatly arranged jars and books filling towering shelves, while sketches of several aerial species cover every gap on the walls.

The work desk stands before a towering window stretching across the front wall, its expansive glass panes framing views of the snow-capped mountaintops beyond. Natural light bathes the lab. Nothing less of a serene and inspiring environment. The rugged peaks all draped in mist, silent guardians to the work taking place within this mountain enclave.

A remarkable sight to be seen. It's clear this person cherishes high horizons, such is the interest in aerial specimens.

...That's what I feared. That one deep-rooted fascination lingered for too long: Nebula Glisanto, only hinted at by the logbook she never lets go of. And well, it's not here.

I'll dispatch reconnaissance teams to their domain as soon as I return.
