Marble Beach letter to her farther Thane Beach, written 1th of August 2726 AD Dear Farther Both Brendon and I has got the Pox, but don’t worry too much, the community is developing a level of immunity, the symptoms are now weaker than the early cases. I just sometimes feel a bit distracted like forgetting to close a door or where I put a book down.
From Terry Scully’s notes and jottings, written 5th of August 2726 AD Was over at the Beach-Gentry house, just to hear if they had found a name for the baby-girl. They did not open, must have been busy. Did not wait too long, it was horribly hot outside today.
Continued….. When I came home, Elea had a visitor. It was Anders Karlson from the Mercier farm. I think I walked in on a romantic meeting, they seemed quite engulfed. Despite the fact that he already got a girlfriend.
From Myra Frances letter to her mother, written 8th of Augus 2726 AD Dear Mother. I Write to tell you that we are all doing fine now. The Chicken Poxviridan was hard especially on John, but we are both more or less over it and we can almost work as much as before. We are deeply in love and have a great time even though we are both a bit weakened. John will turn 18 this week.
From Greg Preston’s Letter to Head of council Anders St. John, written 15th of August 2726 AD I hear the Pox is more or less under control in “Ent”…..… I think You can tell Head of security, that the level of immunity in “Greg’s River” seems to be enough for us to be able to live an almost normal live, the situation in “Nara Fields” also improving but slowly as they were hit later, but as for now we believe we are over the worst part of at least the 1st. wave. We expect not to set up any restrictions. The settlers naturally avoid the café and Nara’s sales outlet for their own safety, no reason to make official rules.
Regarding the general situation thing are fine. When we were all drained by the Pox, Brendon Gentry volunteered to fix all the broken installation in our household, just to give an example of the good spirit and teamwork we got in our settlement.
Marble Beach letter to her farther Thane Beach, written 17th of August 2726 AD Dear Farther Just writing to you again to say we are safe and both basically free of symptoms. Besides that will mention that the baby girl is growing rapidly and is very healthy. When I am not a full time mother I have started a fine collection of rare birds and sometimes other animals, sell some but keep the most beautiful for my own pleasure.
NB: Brandon has changed the cheap plaster ceiling with a nice wooden one, made by trees from the forest, makes the house so much nicer.
From Greg Preston’s Diary 21th of August 2725 AD After not being able to hunt for a while due to my infection, was fantastic to get started again, now the house is once again full of wild animals, and the drawer full of valuable stones.
From Jenny Richards Diary 27th of August 2725 AD We had another encounter with a homeless settler, but this time a few of us was awake and rushed outside as Pongo started to bark. We caught what turned out to be just a lonely, poor and starving women. Most of the others thought she should be chained in the café, but I knew what she had gone trough and will house her at least until she can be send to “Ent” with the next caravan. Greg and Marble was in principle against it, but understood my reasons and accepted. Brendon Gentry though it was plain stupid.
…continued Jane Harper told me she had escaped a slave mine in the mountains, several hundred kilometres to the south, had been slowly moving north along the coast, admittingly sometimes stealing from a few small villages she had passed, not daring to knock a door for help.
From Greg Preston’s Diary 28th of August 2725 AD I have met Musette Mercier accidently a few times before, but a few days ago something have changed. My heart beats faster when she is near and I suddenly feel so much younger, a man just reaching 58th feeling like a teenager in love. She is flirty, beautiful and so sweet. I am well aware that she had been with Terry and I should let her go, but next thing I find myself near her house looking through the windows, just to get a glimpse.

As it is, I honestly do not know where the pox is going, we got many infected but they act a lot more normal that last month. The outbreak lasted two month, so I don’t expect much more spread, but those already infected may still develop bad symptoms. This is how I will handle virus, a variable “outbreak length” will start from time to time with more or less serious disease There were no new settlers taking vaccines.
Greg did go to Musette house just to stand outside for a while and then went home.
Did recapture two animals as I got the notification (not something I will always do), also I staged the picture with Jenny and Jane Harper. Everything else automated.
