Day 206 - April 28th, 2741

We stayed the night in this ghost village, echos and faint whispers still everywhere. I thought nothing could be worse than the silent Void, but this was easily far, far worse than that.

This morning was not different. The ambient sounds of a village grew during the day, sounding more alive, but nobody in sight. I heard the frenzy of a busy market, the wind clattering the structures, yet no wind felt in the Void, and even the joyfull laughter of children.

At the time, I was starting to doubt the sounds were from Sol, maybe something else of the Void, but then we heard a very loud explosion, and the village went silent. Then another boom, then another. Then one final boom that we heard clear as day, coming from one specific corner of the village. We investigated, and as we got closer, the sounds of the village came back.

Closer and closer we got until we came across a building, one door leading in, and frantic screams of people eminating out. Inside, we found a second door on an exterior wall that wasn't there from the outside.

As we approached, we heard shouting behind us, then gunfire. It was STEEL, and they were in the Void like us. In the frenzy, we threw ourselves at the door and in came a flood of blinding light. Stepping through, we found ourselves in Sol, the real village, and the door we came through was nowhere to be seen.

Being underground or in the Void for so long, I was dazed by the bright light. It took both of us a little bit to get our bearings back.
