Ship in, ship out, ship in, and ship out this is the life of a fisherman. Some one who sees the world change in glimpses due to being at sea for 6 month at a time. Such was the life of John Fisher a fisherman from a fishing family who have fished for over 10 generations. He lived a simple life as a shipboard doctor/fisher and was for the most part content. He watched as his brothers and sisters married and had kids, their kids marry and have kids, and their kids kids have kids. He did this, for you see, for some apparent reason he stopped aging. Many villagers made theories on why- like good diet, blessed by the sea or cursed- but the most widely believed theory was John was just to damn cranky for death to want to associate with him. This never really worried the villagers because he was always out earning a living for the village and keeping folk healthy. That was until he tried to retire. Now they weren't unsympathetic, for he did his job for more years than any one cares to count(John believes he is 80 but due to a poor sense of time it is likely he is much older) but they couldn't allow such a person living among them. So they did the only rational thing they could- they used his trusting nature and talked him into leaving the village in search of adventure. Everyone got together and chipped in for some decent equipment(i.e. crap they had little use for anymore) and sent him off. Now John, the no longer fisher, wanders the waste seeking to help those in need and make the wastes a better place- and of course ADVENTURE!

Medic Log Date: Damned if I know.

I have started my travels and have now come to a village. They seem nice enough, if a little unintelligent, but my gut tells me somethin' ain't right about them. So I'm gettin' some directions to some major city called 'Law' and will leave immediately. The place sounds kinda uptight, I mean it is named Law after all, but like little Sue always said "Don't judge nothin' till you know it enough to kick it". Also mental note I might be needing to make some useful items. Don't forget.

Medic Log Date: Later than the last one...yeah.

Had my first run in with the local wild life- a pack of wild dogs. Well I couldn't out run the damn things and shooting them was out of the question, I mean they out numbered me and my only weapon is this damn crossbow. (Mental note: trade for rifle asap or a pistol at least) So in giving them the slip I had to dump half my rations and run my ass off. Well as fast as I can run on this bad leg maybe i should learn to drive or ride, might help in theses situations. Well I'm close to Law now should be there in no time....Damn my hat...

Medic Log Date: I think its a Tuesday.

Met up with some folk outside law and decided to travel with them. Law was interestin', well what I saw of it anyway (they wouldn't let me in, guess they didn't like the cut of my jib). Things in the city happen really fast one moment me and this young nurse are healin' a sick kid and next thing I know I'm in the middle of a theft ring arrest. During the Hoopla I lost those drill bits young Mary Wilhelm gave me insisting they would be useful. Well they weren't and I still cant fathom what she was thinking. Anyway I'm now travelin' with some folk and my gut tells me they're good folk so I think I'll stick with them for the rest of their lives. I mean not like I know how much longer I have and they seem like they have no shortage of adventure.

Medic Log Date: Couple days later.

Well I was right, no sooner then we leave Law for some place named 'GO' then were attacked by bandits. Otto, the women mechanic,(mental note: she is built like a brick don't go rilen' her up to much) was driven the truck when we fell into the bandits trap. They laid a spike strip in the trail and they done burst 2 of the tires. Even with 'em blown Otto still brought us to a safe stop (Eddie was so wrong when he said women can't drive. Lesson learned). Soon as were stopped, a pack of bandits jumped out and bush whacked us. The feller named Szander hopped outta the truck and started shootin' all the bandits like they was standin' still (mental note: Szander is a big as mountain, and strong as a mountain, with the brains to match- DO NOT GET HIM ANGRY). Otto soon followed and started beating them down with a giant wrench- 'WHACK WHACK' (mental note: she kinda reminds me of those old tribesman stories of super strong warrior women. What were they called?) Lastly but certainly not least there was Lena the child living blender. She threw these little metal bits she called shuriken, now they weren't killen' all that many but they sure weren't doin' them any favors. In fact one was buried so deep I had to open his chest up just to get it back out...damn. I swear that child is a walking cutlery trader that is 10x more deadly. Well I think it goes without sayin' they made short work of the bandits. Afterwords Szander left to get new tires from Law, he should be back soon and we will be on our way. I cant wait to see what other adventures await us.

Medic Log Date: Monday, no wait, definatly Thursday.

Somehow I ended up back in that first town of shady folk, what was its name again? Anyway there is some big mystery going on involving lots of folk coming up missin' but the weird part is all their stuff is left behind. Now this smells like big adventure I'm so excited. I'm thinkin' it might be best to build some of those special tools just in case, can't let the youngin's do all the work. The town folk said there is a large bat cave in the nearby hills, I should be able to get all the necessary ingredients there. Well I best get goin', I want to be done before dark.

Medic Log Date: Not sure

Well seems I'm not cut out for big adventure. I'm kinda foggy on all the details but while tryin' to get the bat shit I was kidnapped. Next thing I know I'm waking up next to Lena in a broken down building and she's buck naked. My head was spinnin' and buzzin' and tellin' me just to lay down and sleep, so of course I got up and tried to leave. I tried taking Lena after putting my shirt on her but no matter how hard I tried I couldn't leave this destroyed village. After a while Szander and Otto showed up and this is where things get really fuzzy. I remember a strange naked bald man shooting lightning, Otto and Szander doing there best to save me from something, and me having an overwhelming urge to dig in this damn mine. Now I sit with Lena outside the town with severe burns because Otto and Lena gave themselves over to the urge to save us. I can't let this stand! It's not the place for the young to give themselves to save the old! So I will return. If you're readin' this likely it means I failed. I hope this horror is already ended, if not, I wish you better luck in this adventure....

Medic Log Date: Next mornin

Well that was anticlimactic! When morning came the 2 we lost just turned out to be fine. Turns out there was these weird implants that amplify the Im just gonna call it signal. Without the implants the signal didn't work on you during the day. So once i yanked those suckers out of me and Lena i thought this would be all fine. Lena is still complaining about headaches when she enters the town so im asking her brother to take her to a large town to get checked up. I hope nothing happened to the kid...Damn if only i was a better doctor.

Medic Log Date: Umm Damn It!

Its a few days i think since Zsander left with his sister. I have spent my days experimenting with corpses and doing autopsy's except for this brief period where i tried to help Otto. She ended up dangling me over a deep hole in the mine and I swear she nearly dropped me! From examining the mine and the bodys things are slightly coming together. This is not to say i understand it or it makes sense but with time we might be able to handle this place.

Medic Log Date: Stop asking me!

Zsander has returned with his sister and apparently she is the picture of health. This makes me ecstatic i dont know what i would have done if my negligence had costed her life. Im currently spending my days doing even more autopsies and experiments. Recently i've been working on the dead more than the living. More clues have fallen into place about this whole mess but it still makes no damn sense. We are missing some big pieces and im beginning to wonder if this well beyond the scope of are understanding.

Medic Log Date:Bad day

Well today we finaly acted on are theories about this place. Which were wrong by the way just so you can know. I would tell you all the details but you would think im crazy, Hell i think im crazy. Seriously this is so messed up im currently at the bottom of a mine shaft being cornered by some mind controled miners in front of some piece of technology more advanced the my mind can process. At this point im just lucky im keeping myself together. If it wasn't for the people im travel in with id either be dead, mind controlled, or at the very least completely mental by now. Well you'll have to excuse me we're about to fight are way past a mob of mind controlled people with super advanced weapons. Wish me luck!
