Week One-Captain McIvory: We have just left Planet E-037 and have begun our journey to the undiscovered solar system on Spaceship- 243, The Purple Jewel. Our supplies are fully stocked and all of the ship's systems are in good condition except for a strange rumbling sound coming from the walls of the engine room. It isn't a large concern. The trip should go smoothly.

Week Two-Assistant Captain Jones: We are making good time and everything in the ship is in good condition except the walls in the engine room. The view of stars and planets is amazing. Soon we should be able to see my home planet, F-146, common name: Athena. We will only be able to see it as a small dot but it will still be comforting to see the planet where all my friends and family are. I miss them but we all needed money and this job is well-paying. I am grateful to be able to send them money to take care of themselves.

Week Three- Captain McIvory: Almost everything is in good condition and we are still making great time. The rumbling sound has gotten louder but still is not very concerning. That is all that is needed in a journal entry. Assistant Captain Jones needs to learn that his opinions and feelings dont always belong in his duties.

Week Four- Assistant Captain Jones: We have been traveling for almost a month and we should arrive at the new solar system by next week, since we are still making great time. The weird sound is also coming from the walls in the ship's bathroom and it is getting louder in the engine room. We tried to find out what's causing the noise but nothing unusual is in the walls. Captain McIvory probably won’t like this but I can't stop thinking about Athena. We've heard news about wars between planets and I'm really hoping my family and friends on Athena are okay. I'm so worried about them.

Week Five- Captain McIvory: We landed on the planet furthest from the new solar system’s star. It is too cold to survive and there is no breathable air so we are still trapped in this spaceship. It feels like it is getting smaller and the noise is still getting louder. It has gotten so loud that it can be heard throughout the whole ship. I need to stop it or I'll go crazy. I also need to stop Assistant Captain Jones’ complaining too. He won't stop complaining about how he misses his family or how I’m too strict. Five weeks of listening to him and the repetitive rumbling sound has been too much. I hope the return trip is faster, I don't know how much more I can take.

Week Six- Assistant Captain Jones: I think Captain McIvory has gone crazy. He was shooting the engine room and bathroom walls with his blaster. I think hearing the rumbling sound for six weeks made him lose his sanity. I tried to calm him down by telling him he was being unreasonable and that he needed to take a deep breath but he yelled at me to respect him and his authority and tried to shoot me with his blaster. I'm hiding in a storage compartment. I'm really hoping he won't find me. I've sent out a SOS signal but I don't know if anyone recieved it. If I don't survive I want my family and friends to know I love them and that I’m sorry I couldn't make it home.
