Warning Beacon

Journal Entry 1:

Today marks the beginning of construction on the Warning Beacon system. As the chief architect, I oversee the design and construction of these beacons, which will serve as a warning system for any planetary disasters.

The Inter-Planetary Alliance has deemed it necessary to have these beacons in place, as the threat of natural disasters or other catastrophic events on other planets is always present. These beacons will be placed in critical locations on the planet’s surface and send out a distress signal that can be picked up by any nearby spacecraft.

The design of the beacon is relatively simple, a large tower with a beacon on top, but the materials and technology used in their construction must be able to withstand extreme conditions. We are using a new type of metal alloy that can withstand high temperatures and intense pressure and a new kind of solar panel that can continue to function even in the event of a planetary dust storm.

Construction on the first beacon is now complete. It stands tall and imposing, a beacon of hope for any unfortunate souls that may find themselves in need of rescue. Testing the beacon’s distress signal was successful, and it was picked up by a passing spacecraft within minutes.

The second beacon is now under construction, and we are scheduled to complete them within the next few months. The Inter-Planetary Alliance has expressed their satisfaction with our progress and has even increased the project budget, allowing us to add more advanced technology to the beacons.

Journal Entry 3:

All of the beacons are now complete and operational. The Inter-Planetary Alliance has officially activated the warning beacon system, which is now live. I can’t help but feel a sense of pride and accomplishment as I look at these beacons, knowing that they will be able to save lives in the event of a planetary disaster
