Day 01 - Kings

Hello, world! Or peer reviewer, I should say!

My name is Turtleshell. I am a field researcher with a penchant for untamed ecosystems, and this journal is about to become the chronicle of my newest scientific exploits. Though I haven’t done much work outside of Wet Wilds, I would like to imagine that my first destination here will be a cakewalk in comparison to the harsh and unforgiving landscape of the jungle.

I have recently completed the collection of remnants from the old gemstone hive, intended for analysis by the chief scientists at Reaching Gardens.

Fossil aims to utilize these remnants to assist in adapting the genetic makeup of our burgeoning population of bestial citizens for compatibility with our terminals, thereby minimizing potential health issues.

Conversely, Push- lacking specialization in such matters -has shifted a significant portion of her attention toward assigning me a new task.

Push has arranged for me to meet with other head researchers to investigate a cultural phenomenon observed in the wild districts, termed "Lawless Kings" by the hive's previous residents. Allegedly, their queen was defeated in combat by one of these kings, prompting them to integrate into inner-society for their survival.
