DAY 5
The internetgirl Christine visited me. She didn't tell me she'd bring this strange pet with her.
She said her pet was kind of her navigation to my house. These pets are naturally eager to learn, so the people from her region teach them to guide.
Aside from her pet, I was happy she brought cake, so I didn't have to cook tonight.
I told her about the fire accidents and that I was very grateful for the cake.
Now she's teasing me I can't even bake an egg.
About the women she said that they were probably just rural people from Hogra, a region nearby Bonkalei.
I wondered why no one had detected them earlier from Simcity, but before I could ask Christine told me they live undergrounds, out of sight but closer to the radiation. This would be the perfect place for clans like the Hogra themselves, but as I thought of it, maybe a good spot for an investigation team as well.
After dinner I couldn't find my friend Christine anywhere. When I walked outside I noticed something shiny in the grass...
I couldn't believe she just left me! With... a lamp? Maybe some strange alien habit?

DAY 6
The next morning I was called about a guy who just landed on a planet nearby, a few lightyears away from Bonkalei. This was the nearest space traveler from my base, so they arranged a meeting. He would visit me at noon, and they wanted to make sure I prepared myself well for an intellectual conversation.
As we exchanged experiences and recognition about the imperfections a space travel comes with, I started to turn the chatter to a more serious angle.
I asked him politely about his purpose here and I opted if we could work together. He said he was just stargazing like many others and he wasn't sure if he could help me, but he was very interested in my telescope and offered to go stargazing together sometime.
I couldn't find anything insincere about him, he didn't seem to be a threat.
I tried to make clear I wasn't here for a hobby, even though I loved my telescope more than my mom.
I hesitated, but then told him everything I knew about Bonkalei, the rumours about the Elixir of Life and the Hogra region Christine told me about.
After his leaving, I noticed the lamp again. I thought of Aladdin, and decided to rub the lamp. Well, I can tell you it worked! From now on I would be protected from fires. Was this a gift from Christine?
