Commander’s entry
“The human contingent has successfully adapted to life on the ship, and many of my crew has expressed interest in learning about our new passengers. While others have noticed things about the human behavior such as domestication, animal life, and the unexpected harshness of these aliens, I have found myself intrigued by what I have come to learn as Zodiac signs, and the horoscope.
“It started when human Jessica received her weekly update through the scanners, and stated that according to her horoscope, she would have a good week. The other humans were interested, and so read what I was to learn was their horoscope. Human Brad, however, stated that he did not believe in the horoscope, and human Jessica stated that it was because he was an Aries, which caused human Brad to leave the room.
“I had already decided that human Brad was not a human whose company I enjoyed, and I am interested in learning about these horoscopes, so I can keep human Brad from interacting with me as much as possible.”

“After asking human Jessica to explain these horoscopes to me, she told me that the horoscopes were depicted according to the star positions, and the individual’s zodiac sign, which was determined by the date of birth. Considering that we, Zorlocks, have a different measure of time then the humans, I did not have a zodiac sign, however, human Jessica informed me that I must be a Taurus.”

“After landing on the planet Vorlash to pursue negotiations with the two-headed race known as the Akas, one head with eyes and ears, the other head with a mouth and noses, human Jessica erupted into what I believe was ‘a fit of giggles.’ When I asked her to explain, she said, ‘a planet full of Gemini’s.’ I expressed my confusion, and she explained that a person with the Gemini Zodiac sign were largely believed to be two-faced.’ I must admit to the humor now saw in her statement.”

“The negotiations with the Akas were going slow, and I was considering attempting to secure a negotiations with a more direct and forceful manner, human Jessica said that, according to my horoscope, which I now read regularly out of sheer curiosity, I must display patience to achieve happiness. I have decided to wait a few more days before demanding an answer from the Akas.”

“The Akas have agreed to open a trade agreement. I am now in belief that, although no scientific evidence supports the horoscope, it is possible that there is more to it than simple human superstition. “

“My first mate, Lokah, have began to suspect that my interest in the horoscope is no longer a passing interest with the intention of learning more about the human way of life. Lokah has asked that I desist in my weekly reading of my horoscope.
I can’t believe my first mate is an Aries.”
