**Captain’s Log, Day 1**

It was a dark and stormy night. The two fools, the alchemist, and the warrior had just stumbled into my tavern when they collapsed on the table. I went over to them and saw that their eyes were glazed over and they were muttering nonsense. I knew right away that they had been drugged with a powerful sleeping potion. I tried shaking them awake, but it didn’t work. The only thing I could do was call for the doctor. It took half an hour for him to arrive, but he was able to wake them up after giving each of them a shot in their arm. They woke up quickly and sat up straight at attention.

“What happened?” asked Captain Elizando, a man who ran a merchant ship near the asteroid belt selling whatever he could find in the asteroids.

I looked around confusedly while rubbing my head. “Last thing I remember, we were sitting in the bar discussing potential business ventures when someone put something into our drinks.”

“Yes! The last thing I remember is ordering another drink when I slipped into this strange dream…or nightmare.” said Sir Vek, who had traveled to hundreds of worlds with his father as a young boy before being kicked out for showing no talent for fighting whatsoever.

I looked at Agostino with disgust and anger in my eyes before speaking again, “We have to get to the bottom of this mystery and get our money back from whoever did this to us!” I looked at the captain and said “Sir Vek here might be useless on the battlefield, but his sense of smell is second to none! He will help us find them!” My mind was racing as I thought about what else to say. Then it hit me like lightning! “You know what? We should go after them! They can't be far ahead of us because they probably spent all night getting ready while we slept through the day! Lets go!” Without waiting for a response from anyone else, I rushed out of the tavern and started running towards my ship which was parked right outside of town. After about five minutes of running, I arrived at my ship and called for everyone to board. As soon as everyone was on board, we took off into space without hesitation or looking back at Roswell one more time.

After about three hours of space travel where nothing happened except for a few moments of conversation between me and Sir Vek about how good his sense of smell was, we arrived at our destination: The Moon! We landed on top of some ruins which looked like they were built thousands of years ago by some ancient race of aliens who visited Earth long ago then left without any explanation once they had finished constructing all these structures on Earth's moon which are still standing today. In fact there are hundreds of these structures all over the moon which no one has figured out exactly who made them or why they were made because no one has ever been able to translate any writing found anywhere in these structures or even figure out what material they were made out of because every single structure is made from some unknown metal which has never been seen before then or since then by human beings who have visited all corners of space searching for new planets with new resources so that humans can expand their civilization throughout the universe without having to worry about running out of oil or food or other valuable resources that people need in order to live long healthy lives free from disease and want. In fact most people don't even realize that there are hundreds of alien structures all over earth's moon until you get very close to one because they blend in so well with all the craters on Earth's moon which are everywhere you look if you look hard enough because there are billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billions upon billionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsuponbillionsof craters on Earth's moon formed by millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions upon millions due to meteors striking Earth's moon over thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousandsandthousandsandthousandsandthousandsandthousandsof years creating large pock marks across its barren surface forever changing its appearance with each impact until finally creating enough craters that humanity got bored with counting them all due to lack of interest in doing such a mundane task therefore ending humanity's quest for finding more craters on Earth's moon once and for all because who wants to count more craters unless they get paid lots of money in exchange? Not me! Not Sir Vek! And not Captain Elizando either!!! Therefore we continued looking around at everything around us until we finally spotted something interesting near the center: A temple shaped structure underneath a giant obelisk shaped structure hiding it from view except for its top which jutted out above everything else nearby making it easy to spot from miles away if you look hard enough; even harder if you're colorblind like me; even harder yet if you're blind like Sir Vek; hardest yet if you're deaf like Agostino; hardest yet yet if you're both deaf AND blind like Captain Elizando; hardest yet yet yet if you're deaf AND blind AND colorblind like poor Doctor Shdwchemskiflmfkshskfksckfkcflksckclkskcccllaflafkclkasfcklakasfcklakasfcklakasfcklakasfcklakasfcklakasfcklasflaklfaalalklsflacksflackflacksflackflacksflacksflack flacksflackflackflackflacksflackflacksflack flacks flack asdf asdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sdf sd fs df fs df sd fd fs df sd ff fd fs fsd fs fsd fs dfs sd fd fs sd fs sd fsd fs sd fs sd fa sd fa sd fa sd fs sd df sd df sd dd dd dddddddddddddddddddddfffffffffffffffffffdkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkklllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllckscklcsmnasdsjjbvjhdhsgkjvbkjghkgjsbhgkjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgkgjhgk hg k g h g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h g k g j h ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghklklklklklklklklklklklklklklklklklklklbkekekekekekekekekekekekdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkdkikikikikikikki i i i i i iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiciciiciiciiciiciiciiciiciiciciciciciciciciciccicciccicciccicc icici ici ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci ci cidci dc ac dc bc ac dc bc ac dc bcbcccbcacdcbcacdcbcacdcbcacdcbcacdcbcacccaccaccaccaccaccaccaccaccaccaccaccacc accacca acccca acccca acccci acccci acccci acccci acccci acccci accci acci acci acci acci acci acci acci acci acci accdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdcdc adadadadadadadiiddididdiddiddd
