Setting
[center]

Cortex was only recently inhabited by a humanoid species in the past 60 years. It is a largely temperate climate with a huge rainfall and a largely dark overcast sky. The planet is covered with a luminescent ocean called 'The Seas of Lament' which glistens in varying colors. It maintains all types of landscapes including rich grassy hills covered in wildflowers and barren rocky mountains loaded with precious elements. The Darna Glacial Fields overhang a mountainous valley in the southwestern regions of the planet. Meanwhile the Isles of Fiari sit in the east and acts as the main settlement for industrialization.
Cortex is temperate in nature, but the Glacial regions can reach -70 degrees centigrade. Being a relatively small planet (14,000 miles from north to south) the core temperature transcends through the planet’s tectonic plates and heats the surface to around 20 degrees. This maintains flora through '‘Transthermal generation’. Rainfall is approximately 400-500mm per year in the eastern regions while in the west a record states they received a total of 4076 mm of rain in one year.

He pulls out a notebook from his jacket, and, removing a rough pencil from the leather spine, leans the book against his knee, writing quickly for a couple seconds before holding up the journal, facing Michael.
Who are you?
Getting dark soon.
Should go home.
The notebook says, written in a rough, straight scrawl. He pauses to let the boy read it before continuing, beginning to write again.
Not safe for you after dark.
