Week 5: Just Write vs. Mr. J (JUST WRITE WINS 6-1)

[Just Write]

Journel log I:
"Just touched down in queensland, it's wetter than expected,
After a 17 hour flight, gotta sleep. I work better when I'm rested.
Hopefully tomorrow i can settle in, and meet with our investors,
Need to remember key points on how this species is neglected."

-Dr. Steven Jacobs


Journel log II:
"The meeting went great, even better than I'd hoped
They agreed to our terms, and offered to rent our team a boat
Our expectations & goals are to find a herd of these creatures
If all goes well national geographic wants our work to be featured.
For months I've immersed into research, more eager as I gather facts
I've also found surprising news regarding this species habitats
If you could Imagine that, koala's are the most snobbish of mammals
The last few months I've documented some common examples
They only thrive in environments they're use to, usually eating leaves
That's why they're so dominant amidst thick brush & eucalyptus tree's
In turn i think their populations are, well.. dependant on each other
So i guess our real goal is to help this near endanged species to recover.."

-Dr. Steven Jacobs

Journal log III:
"It's Seldom you discover something as beautiful as this..
Had our first sighting today, a mother koala, hugging on her kids.
They snuggled up a bit, then scurried, well within the forest,
We rowed in quick, & parked ashore.. couldn't help but to explore it
We headed north, followed a creak, deep among the tree's
the way the sun glistened through the leaves was something like a dream.
We found a whole community. Their unity is truly something special
as we approached them, i could see another group, playfully they wrestled
The way that they nestled down to sleep was also quite amazing
But we are required to get a permit before we try to engage them.
So tomorrow I will do that, then I need to restock our supplies
for now, I'm tired & can barely open my eyes..
so I'm logging off, goodnight.

-Dr. Steven Jacobs


Journal log IV:
"Got our permit today, also the supplies that were desperately needed,
Unfortunately, that left the account from our investors depleted
But we don't necessarily need it as we'll be camping indefinitely
Or at least long enough to survive until the next check's released.
we set up with ease, to be honest it was rather impressive
We even scattered leaves across our tent, to help us be less detected
I don't know if they felt our presence, if so they didn't seem to mind
We walked through maybe twenty of them, most didn't even climb
They just sat there with a curious look in their eyes, examining us
It was like the more we were there, the more we gathered their trust.
Right now it's just after dusk and most have retreated from sight
Now im just sitting around the fire trying to stay warm through the night.."


Journal log V:
"I don't know what happened, i fell asleep, & the fire got away from us
I thought we were safe, being at least twenty feet away from brush
But something erupted, maybe it was the propane from our lanterns
All I remember are the flames & the screams they made as they scattered
Not that it matters but im so sorry... I just cant help but relive it
whenever i close my eyes I just can't seem to shake that image
And not to dwell on specifics, but honestly the smell was horrific..
I wish I never came here.... why was I so compelled to visit?
we only managed to find one, I'll try my best to nurse it back to health
Meanwhile I feel like I'm stuck in my own personal hell
I just wanted to help, maybe make a difference along the way
Instead Im responsible for wiping out these beautiful creatures..
in less than a day"
