Entry 2: Concerning the Xarax and The first encounter.

In the year 3 BX or for you traditionalist 2216 AD, The English Professor landed on the unknown planet. The most we know about this is few reports from the families of those who worked with him after he returned.

What he found there was a planet inhabited entirely by insects. We do not know what all he found there, what we do know is he found an insect race that was very similar to our cicadas. These insects were all over the foliage seemingly eating slowly.

Among these insects, this Professor found an albino one. He bottled it, and he grabbed several others for testing. He then began his flight back. It was harmless enough, one of the first planets able to hold life, to examine that life shouldn’t matter.

He was wrong.

Professor Xarax was his name. He brought these creatures back in 0 BX or 2219 AD, and discovered much about them. One of the interesting traits was that it had was an outer exoskeleton and an inner exoskeleton. It was an evolutionary trait. Professor Xarax thought it was for extra protection.

He also noticed… He noticed a set of spines similar to that of a bearded lizard. They could inflate them so they were thick and spiny. Able to cut through flesh; that wasn’t the worst part, the worst part was what happened to one of his lab assistants. Another terrible part was their stinger contained arsenic. When they stung they injected a lethal dose of arsenic into whatever they stung.

Something happened, the Xarax, as they were dubbed began to awaken from dormancy. They began to fly around their jars. When one lab assistant opened one of their holds the insect flew out, and into his mouth.

Moments later, there was a scream of pain, and his mouth filled with blood. The Professor said it was the most horrifying thing he had ever seen. But what was more horrifying was when the lab assistant rose. The Professor locked him in a room and watched his progression. Slowly his body started to change.

The findings were next complete, but from what we have seen we can theorize that he started to become more insect. His hands became poisonous claws, and he started hissing and trying to speak, but unable to due to the severe damage to the back of the throat.

Professor Xarax, and his Albino Xarax vanished by the time it happened.

November 18, 1 AX, 2220 AD, is a day I remember clearly. It was bright and sunny, then it was all black. With the buzzing sounds of trillions of wings.

The Xarax invaded Earth…
