Entry 26 - Day 12
I nearly drowned today. Proper tunnelling-of-my-vision, chest-tight, brain-screaming-for-air drowning. I don't think I've ever been so scared in my life.
I was swimming out near the Aurora again and found some more fragments which added to my library of fabricator blueprints then, on my way back to the lifepod, I happened upon a really large wreck. I mean, this thing was massive. It must've been a piece of the Aurora that must have broken off when it broke the atmosphere, but before it hit the water. I found a small opening inside through one of the maintenance duct that had sheered off, and my curiosity got the better of my good sense. I forgot to check my oxygen meter before going inside.
I barely got out and reached the surface in time. I've had a headache for the past couple of hours and the spots have only just stopped flashing in front of my eyes. I thought I was doing okay here, but this has been a wake up call. I need to get off this rock as soon as possible, before it kills me or I die from my own ignorance.
