Jonah: Ark II log, entry 51. We are moving along on automatic pilot and are now entering sector 14, area 12. Somewhere nearby are people who refuse to have communication with the outside world. Strangers are forbidden to enter this village. Our mission is to find out why. (edit)

Jonah: Ark II log, entry 52. Time: 1700 hours. We have just opened the eyes of a tribe of isolated people to the value of communicating with others. We think they have learned as we have that to block progress only stops growth, and by talking instead of fighting, we can move forward. (edit)
