and down the hill to a cave entrance. We entered the cave to a room. Air hissed in the room. The air was different from breathing the gas. The Sakul led us to a door and we entered a cafeteria. There were a lot of Sakuls there. I suspect we're on their home world. I'm not sure because they welcomed us. They showed us our quarters. The beds were bunk beds. I'm getting a little annoyed with bunk beds. I want to sleep next to Bruce and feel his hands on me. There was a bathroom and a shower stall. I took a shower. The shower on the ship was goo shower which were lights and more lights. I didn't feel clean with the shower on the ship. My right ear hurts. It hurts in the earring area. I think I'm getting an infection. I don t know why but I hope I'm not turning hearing. I don't think I can accept being hearing. I like being deaf. There are advantages of being deaf like not having to hear annoying noises. It was very nice. I felt much cleaner. I hope food isn't goo. I'm getting sick of eating goo. I'm on the top bunk feeling a little bored. I think I'll have sex with Bruce. It'll give me something to do. Before we could do that a Sakul interrupted us and told us it was time to eat. I'm not sure if its' breakfast, lunch or dinnertime. I don't know. The food was some chitin meat stuff. I asked the Sakul what it was. They explained it was a gonoid manoid named Hyperon. It was disgusting. I took a bite and then threw up on the floor. Bruce refused to eat. The others ate the food. It was disgusting. I drank the drink, which was red like blood. Then I threw up on the floor. A Sakul examined me by waving his hands and told us via mind walking that I have a chemical imbalance in me. Oh dear I might be pregnant again. Wait a minute. Bruce and I only got to the first step of sex before they interrupted us. I think it might be my sickness. I really hope not. I asked if I could go outside the citadel (cave area I'm in) and explore. One Sakul told me via mind walking that it wasn’t a good idea due to the Hyperon outside. I told them about learning sign language and having an escort. The Sakul told me in sign language that there's an operation that can make us both hearing. Bruce and I had a private talk and told them no thanks. Then we went to our room. We cuddled together in the bottom bunk. I've been hiding my journal in my pocket of my coverall. We lay there for awhile before a Sakul came and told us in sign language that it was lunchtime. Lunch was white meat stuff. I took a bite and threw up the stuff. I asked a Sakul what the white stuff was. They told me via sign language it was the Humanoid gonoid named Hyperon. Bruce paled at that and refused to eat. A Sakul came with goo and Bruce and I ate the goo instead. We waited until we were in our quarters to talk in private. Bruce told me he refused to eat them. I really can't wait to go outside I'm getting crazy in here. Bruce and I discussed my diary about being a record for future generations. I think I'll have to eat more goo for the rest of my life here. I don't know where's here is. I 'm not sure what planet this is. I miss my babies. I miss them. I miss having a baby sucking my chest. Sigh. I hope the Sakul won't find out about our knowledge. Maybe I could ask a Sakul if they could scan my mind. I suspect they are mind walkers who came to tell us it was dinner time. Food was meat. It eerie looked familiar. I asked a Sakul what it was. He told me it was a Mooer a gonoid that gives off a moo sound. I tried it and threw it up. Bruce refused to eat it. I asked a Sakul where they got the meat. The Sakul told me in sign language that there are gonoids they refer as animals living on the planet. They are called Hyperon and Mooer. I asked about going outside. The Sakul told me I'd have to be armed and have an escort. I wasn't the only one who wanted to go outside. The others wanted to go outside too. We were given long pipe weapons with a knife on the end. It was like a spear. After dinner we went outside and were a bit windy out. The sun was shining palely in the sky. I could see the Sakul armed with spears attack a creature. The creature looked like a spiny Humanoid I saw earlier, and then they dragged the creature I think was a Hyperon into a cave. I felt a drumming vibration. I don't know why, but there was a flash of light in the cave and the creature came out running. I saw a Sakul came staggering out and fell to the ground. I ran to help him. The Sakul shivered up and his body became ashes. Several came and blocked me from entering the cave. They didn't want me to get hurt. They were scared. I think they were scared. They escorted us inside the citadel. I have been nicknaming the cave where our quarters are the citadel. I told Bruce that. He thought it was a good name. I wandered around the cave. I came to a balcony and I could see an underground city. There was a huge oval window overhead. It is very weird. I saw a flash of light in the corner of my right eye and I turned to look. I looked and saw a cave entrance I went in the cave and entered a room. It was very weird. My ear pain stopped hurting. There was a symbol on top of the cave entrance. The room was vast as far as my eyes could see. There were tanks with naked people in them. I felt drawn to a tank. There were words on the tank that said "Highlander". I saw a man with black hair with pointed ears, was wearing black pants, a black top. A Sakul appeared and told me to leave the room. It told me via mind walking that the symbol on the door way means forbidden to enter. I apologized and asked the Sakul about the Highlander. He wouldn’t tell me about the Highlander alien. I left the room and went to my quarters. I told him about finding the room with people in tanks. Bruce thinks they were put to sleep and waked up at a certain time. l I told him about finding the Highlander alien. A Sakul came and told us it was lunchtime. Lunch was green goo. I rather eat goo then animal meat. I'm disgusted in eating meat. Yuck. Bruce and I were the only ones to eat the goo. The others including them ate the meat. For drink was green stuff. It tastes like broccoli. Then we went outside in the dusty air. I sneezed a few times. There was a sand storm coming. The air got so bad that we escorted us inside. Inside Bruce carried me to our room. We had sex. It's been awhile since I had sex. I'm not sure if I can conceive. I suspect the Sakul will take the baby away once he or she is born. After the sex we cuddled together. Bruce and I had sex again. Again a Sakul came and told us it was dinner time. Well I noticed that Lana didn't look happy. I asked her why and she rudely told me it was none of my business. Swell. The Sakul told me they couldn't conceive anymore children. For every Amula having three children is the limit. I don't know if I'm pregnant again. Dinner was goo. I can't wait to eat something else besides goo. I don't want to eat meat. It's disgusting. I went outside with Lana and Jella. The air was nice to breathe. The sandstorm seemed to past us by. I'm glad to be outside. I saw the Hyperon come waving its clawed reed hands toward me. I heard a voice in my mind told me to throw my spear at it. I was so scared that I dropped the spear and stood like an idiot. The creature walked towards me until it was inches from my face and stared at me. Then it turned around and ran into the forest. Oh wow. I felt a drumming vibration. Then the Sakul came and hurriedly escorted me inside the citadel. I think the drumming noise was scaring them. I went to my room I told Bruce about seeing the Hyperon. I went to write in here. I examined myself I can now have sex for pleasure. I'm sure I can't conceive any more babies. I had four children and that is enough for me. I don't want to get pregnant again for the fourth time. I'm interested in having sex with Bruce. I showed Bruce the forbidden room with the tanks in them. A Sakul watched us stood in the doorway. I think they don't trust us to not go in the room. Bruce wanted to go in but I pointed out the symbol on the wall. Bruce showed me his arm. Told me the symbol matched the mark on his arm. I examined my arm and found the symbol matched my arm too. We asked them about that and they refused to tell us but told us to leave the room. We went back to our room and cuddled in bed. Bruce told me about his life on growing up in a ship, living on Terra, to our latest adventure of landing on this planet. Bruce was interested in seeing what I wrote in my journal. I told him to wait until I finished the journal first. I'm now halfway through it. It has a lot of pages for me to fill up the journal. The lights dimmed. I think it's time for me to go to bed.
Yours,

Dear Anne,
The lights went out. During the night Bruce climbed up on the top bunk and had sex with me. Making love was a good thing.
Sometimes it's a chore but who cares. A Sakul came to tell us it was breakfast time. Breakfast was weird fruit shaped like a pear. It was brown looking. Bruce and I refused to eat the meat. We were the only ones to eat the fruit and goo. After breakfast Bruce and I went outside and went to the shuttle. The shuttle was gone. I'm surprised. I suspect that the crew of five people left. We went to the forest and did some exploring. The trees were made out of a removable bark that had goo. It explains where the green goo came from. A Sakul came and introduced himself via speaking in my mind as Tier. I asked him if he was the same one who was on the planet. The Sakul explained that Tier is his surname. Tier escorted us back inside. On the way a Hyperon came from the forest and attacked Tier. I saw Tier explode in a fireball. Then the Hyperon told us via mind walking to go to the forbidden cave immediately. The Hyperon told us he'll keep the others from stopping us. Bruce and I went to the forbidden cave. It was the same cave where
