'Day Two' by Marie Little

They said I’d get used to the darkness, but it’s not that which is bothering me. This smell is like nothing I’ve experienced. I think it’s the grud flanks as they rot, but my information chip hasn’t registered anything yet, and I’ll look stupid if I sign on to The Pod just to ask that. I write it up in the log as Intense smell detected from grud flanks near West Base, and hope I sound like I know what I’m doing.
