Chapter 13 - Palisades

There is a natural beauty to Foreas that is comforting. As much as the Divide is a wasteland the Palisades of Foreas is incredible. It feels almost like it could be a home. The Cormans have built up a decent settlement, there’s buildings, real, useful buildings, not the shacks of the Foreans and not the impersonal military buildings found in other places where we have settled. There’s even some farmland where there is, well, something growing.

All things considered I’d say it is one of the nicer areas I’ve been too. Sometimes, when I think about Earth, or more honestly when I fantasize about going back and things being back to normal I can’t help but wonder if we’ll still travel to these other planets we’ve encountered. Can we really stay holed up in one planet when the entire galaxy is ours to explore? Will we be vacationing on Foreas years from now instead of going to Florida or California or whatever other vacation spot we go to?

I think I wouldn’t mind it so much. Under different circumstances I could really be happy to have a piece of land and a nice house around here. It could be nice.

I’ve only just recently headed into the Palisades but already I can tell I’ll enjoy my time there. There seems to be some interesting things around here, and by “interesting” I mean “relating to the Eloh.” I don’t understand everything yet, but I do know enough to understand some of the messages they have left. What we should do with that information I can’t say, but they must have left it for a reason and I guess it is about time I started looking a bit deeper into this.

If there is one thing about the Palisades I don’t like though it is that there are just so many Corman followers here. It isn’t a matter of trusting, or not trusting, them either. I just don’t understand them. They don’t want to fight the Bane but they are surprised, and hurt, when the Bane will slaughter their own. This isn’t an enemy that has mercy or cares whether you are fighting back or not. I don’t know why they don’t care, but they don’t and that fact alone means that you have to be willing to do what is needed to get by.

We can’t have a huge force standing on the sidelines as we are massacred, I just don’t understand how they can do it.
