Note:

  In this record I will be trying to determine if I can eat the plants in the area.

  I will be using the Universal Edibility Test on a few specimens I collected earlier.

  Furthermore, I will split the parts up into the petal, leaf, stem, and root

  I do not have the ability to use a fire, so I will unfortunately not be able to boil the specimens.

  The tests are as follows:

  Test #1: test the specimen to see if it smells offensive.

  Test #2: rub specimen in armpit and leave for 8 hours to determine immune reaction.

  Test #3: Place specimen on lips for 15 minutes to determine neurotoxity

  Test #4: Place under tongue for 5 minutes

  Test #5: Chew specimen and hold in mouth for 45 minutes

  Test #6: Swallow small amount and wait 8 hours to see effects.

  Any abnormalities will be noted, and tests will be discontinued and vomiting induced if necessary.

  The tests will occur over the course of several days. I have water from the well, and have felt no ill effects from it so far.

  During the arduous waiting time, I have distracted myself from the hunger by sitting still near the entrance to the cave and watching the wildlife.

  I have seen a few familiar species and a couple of very strange species. The familiar species have given me hope that perhaps I am not the only earth life that has ended up here, and that there must be some measure of bio-compatibility for them to survive here.

  Species #001

  Appearance: Identical to a deer, but with what appears to be a second set of ears.

  Diet: Observed eating specimen #006

  Glow: A light brown

  Species #002

  Appearance: A long hairy creature with a similar build to a pig, but with an utterly alien mouth, and a forked lizard like tongue

  Diet: Specimen #006 and an an insect I will sketch next.

  Glow: Light Blue

  Species #003

  Appearance: a bright blue insect

  Diet: Unknown

  Glow: A swirling blue

  Note:

  After noting the prevalence of #006 in the diet of Species #001 and #002,

  I have decided to skip to testing specimen #006

  I hope I have found the answer to my troubles.

  I will be harvesting some more of #006 and eating small amounts.

  With Hope, There Is Life.
