I've been facing time-traveling sickness for the last few days, but the good news is that we all made it. We're not all in the same location, but I landed on Earth in Hawaii in 2018. It's still February, so that'll make it easier to digest, but I am sticking out like a sore thumb. Everyone here has been exposed to sunlight, whereas I'm having to cover myself almost fully and wear special darkened glasses to protect my eyes. I don't feel prepared, but it's time to get the job done.
My first case here is to explore Pearl Harbor. I went to the visitor center and watched a movie to orient myself. I was surprised that we repeated history after watching the video. The theater was filled and everyone seemed very moved by the historical presentation given. We hopped on a boat and saw the sunken ship, the names on the wall, and the atmosphere was quiet and reserved. I think this is the type of learning to focus on in order to save our world. There were rooms to walk through where I could touch and see historical equipment and stories given from survivors of the bombing at Pearl Harbor. I felt very immersed as did those around me from my observations. I will be writing my formal report and sending it to headquarters as I ponder how this learning environment matches with the information we learned during our training. For now, I'm going to continue to enjoy my many firsts on Earth. The sky is blue and I saw a rainbow for the very first time in my life. If we can't get back to 2077, I wonder if I'll even care.
