A rock, on a planet, in a solar system, in space

I am writing this sitting on a rock.

Yes.
A rock.
I am sitting on a rock.
Such simple statement it is to say "I am sitting on a rock." It is not a profound statement really. Its not dramatic, nor boring, just simple. 
I am sitting on a rock.
I am sitting on a rock writing.
I am sitting on a rock writing to others.
I am sitting on a rock surrounded by trees and in every direction is unexplored land rumbling with life.
There, that is why I mentioned in the first place that I am sitting on a rock; I am on the unexplored planet trying to take everything in. Let me update you on how I got here in the first place...to my rock.

Well as soon as Electra stormed off I immediately went to talk to the robots. I can understand why Electra was so frustrated, they seem to enjoy the game of lets-not-give-the-information-asked-for. When I questioned about the "new" planet the metallic database voice answered "Please define 'new'. Time is relative, therefore 'new' has insignificant meaning." 
Of course this spurred us into a discussion starting on how we are still affected by time, just have a great deal of power over it, and ending with the accuracy and interpretation involved with language. Finally I asked for the coordinates for where Electra had been send and was on my way. 
I admit I do like the robots. It can be hard to find someone to discuss and argue with when you are never in the same location very long. I really do need to find someone to accompany me, at least for one mission, though I am not sure yet how it would be to have another tagging along, even if I did invite them.

So I gathered my basic gear and set off. My first view of the planet and its beauty was on my decent through its atmosphere. From what I saw there seems to be many different landscapes, from forest to desert, indeed remarkable for such a small planet. 
So that leads me to my current place, my rock. 
I think  I will trek through the forest around me. I heard some strange sounds that should be exciting to investigate. 

A last thought about this planet. Remember how I mentioned the universe has been quite boring and peaceful lately? Well this planet could change all that. The worlds might be peaceful, but evil selfish desires still run deep and swift. An uncharted world could cause tension...

So long for now.

P.s. If anyone back home is not doing anything, I still might consider taking someone along on my expedition....
