You find the journal of Tom Magnate. You read the first couple pages and discover he was an ore tycoon. He refers to an event of destruction in the future, and details his preparations. He located what he thought was the most secure location and bought the place. After building the complex here, he proceded to assemble a library to preserve the knowledge base of civilization. Apparently he planned for the worst case, and was prepared to go it alone. His family and what seems to be 80-100 others could have rebuilt it all.
---- "This place is as empty as the rest. I guess he wasn't expecting the planet to become an asteroid covered with the undead. If they knew before hand, I wonder why they didn't leave?" ---- Final journal entry: "Megan's husband died today from a spider bite. That's the third this month. I consoled her and turned her over to Jensen. She has been through so much. I feel for all these people. If I hadn't been so stubborn about staying, we would all be on Jindal now. But still, donating my fleet of space crusers to the poor souls who couldn't afford a ticket did save lives. Ohh, I never imagined it would be this bad. There's nothing to stay here for now. But these people are counting on me. We're down to 23 souls, and it get's worse here by the day. The time has come to move. We'll take what we can the the valley, and leave the resources. The men can come back for it as time permits. The valley will be our permenant home now. At least it's safe there in the day." |
