Journale Of Simon Herbert 4
CHAPTER FOUR We had a few days with lots of travellers. Webby didn't even make an appearance for most of them. And showed no affection to any of them. None of their home planets were earth, or any of the other missing planets. Doesn't help prove my hypothosis, but doesn't disprove it either.

CHAPTER TWO The storm sounded like transport ships were landing on the floor above us as we tried to make ourselves at ease in the shielded suite. It has comfortable furniture, an entertainment console, an office area, a stocked kitchen on one end, a full bath, and several separate rooms with bunks. It was actually nicer than many of the apartments I had lived in before. But the noise made it hard for us to relax. Well, except Webby. He had curled up for a nap on the top of a tall cabinet.

CHAPTER THREE After the storm moved away, Marvin got back to work. He had to check the adjustment that Scheduler made to arrival times for expected travellers. He likes to make sure he is in the transport room for all arrivals. He doesn't really have to be; the AI would give the travellers instructions on where to wait for the next jump, and how long it will be. Marvin just likes to make sure travellers knew that in this bleak environment there is a human to interface with. He also checks in with Mapper to make sure there are no known problems at destinations. Again, Scheduler and Mapper would figure that out without him, but he says he likes to be able to reassure anxious travellers, and he gets info from Traveller's Friend about the current events and weather so he can make small talk with them if they seem the type that needs that. He likes meeting the travellers and learning about them as much as he loves learning about the technology that moves them from place to place.

CHAPTER ONE “Where's Webby!” Marvin, previously calm as he described to me the mass devastation that can be caused by a windstorm like the approaching one, is suddenly panicked when he doesn't see his cat as we head for the shielded level of the building. I yelled back over the roaring and screeching winds to let him know that Webby already went down the stairs. Marvin laughed, and his usual calm demeanor returned. He asked if I was still happy I decided to stay here.

World in Tatters Ch. 49. Content Warning.
I can’t sleep the night before the trials. Honestly, I don’t know if anyone else can either. I try to avoid speaking with Alice and the others. Partially from anxiety, but mostly because I just don’t know what I would say. Any time they come near me, I just close my eyes and pretend.

Read this if you are in need for comfort
Hey there stranger! If you are reading this, I hope you are doing okay:) Even if you are not it is okay. I do not want to tell you to be optimistic or pretend to have it all together because I know how chaotic and messy life can be sometimes. While I know you are not feeling okay, that is why probably you have reached upon this video. I hope you remember that there are still so many days when life will feel lighter, where the beauty of nature will astonish you with the warmth of the sun and the somberness of the night.

THEMES OF ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL JUSTICE
The themes of environmental and social justice are deeply interwoven and increasingly significant in contemporary poetry, reflecting the urgency of global issues and the role of art as both witness and activist. Poets today address these themes by connecting readers to the realities of ecological degradation, systemic inequality, and human resilience, urging them toward awareness, empathy, and action.

World in Tatters Ch 48
Alice becomes much more lucid as we make our way back to Rachel and Jason. By the time we passed the command tent, she was walking on her own with only slight limp from bruising on her legs. Chris was able to fill me in a little better about what transpired following the botched rescue plan in Atlanta. Apparently, Jarvis followed Richard and Kiera’s orders to the letter, despite Rachel’s many protestations. Chris says he wasn’t too happy about leaving us behind either, but he knew they would need more help if they were to be able to do anything.
