Episode 14 – Dear Mother
It's just a case of choosing my priorities, Stages
It's just the art of changing our perception
But when I see that girl it messes my security
So please don't leave me alone with her
The song is meant to explain why John just walk away from Myra, although we must expect him to have feelings for her, she also makes him feel insecure, after all he is just 16 and she belongs to a much higher social level in the mountain village.

Greg Preston’s Notes for next Ent Council meeting, written 31th of August 2725
Our settlement has rapidly developed into a fishing community. Everyone except Charles and Jenny are now fishing at lot. My only important worries are the Vaughan’s economy, they do not seem to have a plan that can get then through the winter, their cash reserves are dropping fast.

From Myra Frances letter to her mother, written 8th of September 2725
Dear Mother.
I am writing to you here from our humble home by the river, on an old typewriter we have got.
Sorry for not writing earlier, You have probably heard we had settlers in your village back in May, but I have been very busy and it was a little hard for me to find my place in the group back then.
Now everything is much better, I have become good friends with my fellow student Elea Helsby lately. I am also very good friends with our Elder Jenny Richards, a very special woman who have lived an interesting life, alone in the wilderness for 7 years.

I know you will laugh about this and think I am young and stupid, but I have to share my feelings with you.
I have fallen in love with one of the students, a wonderful and beautiful boy called John Hallett, we talk a lot and has spent many hours together. I am very much in love with him, but I am not sure the feeling is mutual. I have tried to flirt a little last night, but he said he had to go fishing.

From Greg Preston’s Report to St. John’s Educational Foundation September 2725 AD
I am generally quite satisfied with our four students, both their work effort and their socially behaviour has improved over the latest month. Everyone taking part in important daily routines, cleaning, cooking, feeding the animals, harvesting egg’s and fishing. At the same time, they are developing tight bonds and none of them are arguing a lot or being condescending towards each other.

Greg Preston’s Diary 10th of September 2725 AD
I left the settlement yesterday morning, now traveling to the mountain village, to attend the last Council meeting before the winter comes. Before I left, I was collecting gemstones and fur to sell in “Ent”. Finding some valuable rocks with diamond and gold inside.
Now I am at the end of the lowland about to enter the mountain area. I will camp here for the night.

Jenny Richards Diary 20th of September 2725 AD
I like fall. More people are inside and I can visit at their homes without being too much outside.
I visited Michiko a few times and we have become much closer now. I also like Charles a lot, but he is a bit weird. He plays air-guitar! When I say, come over at try a real guitar, he just smiles.

Economy after this episode:
Greg Preston household: Cash 7.444 – Net Worth 28.010
Jenny Richards household: Cash 8.342 – Net Worth 16.180
Michiko Vaughan household: Cash 811 – Net Worth 7.508
The Vaughan typewriter broke down, although Charles is a high-level handyman, he has not yet attempted to fix it. Instead, he again bought a laptop. The impact on their cash/net worth is horrible if he keeps buying and selling such expensive items.
As I mentioned several episodes back, I would introduce some plants on community lots to try lure the settlers into gardening. Now have planted some on the “Elder Assembly lot”, so far no one reacted towards them.
The picture of Greg in the mountain was staged.
