*The audio-only entry is spoken by a human female, speaking entirely in Mandarin Chinese.* My name is Mei Xiang. I am on the Danxia Shan. A light frigate of the Chinese Navy, and the home of the Chinese Empire in-exile. With the events surrounding the meteor we towed in and the death of everyone else onboard, I am now the sole representative of the government of China. My father was Emperor, and when he died during the Fall of Earth, I was Empress, for about three weeks. Thousands were evacuated under my government's efforts. Millions more perished, including my mother and most of my siblings. I don't know where those refugees went, I don't know if they hated me as much as they hated my father. I'm not like to find out anytime soon. Empire of China. Population: one. Territory: the Danxia Shan. -------- *This entry also has no video, only audio. The date stamp is only a day after the previous one.* Mao Xu is my sister, and the only one of our family not on Earth. She was in the USCM, the organization my father refused to let me join. I mean to find her on whatever distant world she's on---dead or alive. I'm sincerely hoping the latter. --- *This entry has video now, showing Mei Xiang. She looks like she has minor wounds. Behind her is the sounds of a Floran exploring a ship for the very first time. She is speaking in halting English this time.* Low on fuel, food and water. Had to stop above what I later discovered was a death world. Only one other person was on this world---a Floran by the name of Scale. Scale is the first non-human person I have met, and the first person I've talked to in a long while that is not a computer. He is odd and very alien, but he was good company. I made contact with a colony called "Honeydew Prior" using what little qubits I have in the QE Communicator. Let's see how this goes.
