Note:
In this record I will be trying to determine if I can eat the plants in the area.
I will be using the Universal Edibility Test on a few specimens I collected earlier.
Furthermore, I will split the parts up into the petal, leaf, stem, and root
I do not have the ability to use a fire, so I will unfortunately not be able to boil the specimens.
The tests are as follows:
Test #1: test the specimen to see if it smells offensive.
Test #2: rub specimen in armpit and leave for 8 hours to determine immune reaction.
Test #3: Place specimen on lips for 15 minutes to determine neurotoxity
Test #4: Place under tongue for 5 minutes
Test #5: Chew specimen and hold in mouth for 45 minutes
Test #6: Swallow small amount and wait 8 hours to see effects.
Any abnormalities will be noted, and tests will be discontinued and vomiting induced if necessary.
The tests will occur over the course of several days. I have water from the well, and have felt no ill effects from it so far.

During the arduous waiting time, I have distracted myself from the hunger by sitting still near the entrance to the cave and watching the wildlife.
I have seen a few familiar species and a couple of very strange species. The familiar species have given me hope that perhaps I am not the only earth life that has ended up here, and that there must be some measure of bio-compatibility for them to survive here.

With Hope, There Is Life.
