I first visited Geolyte far in the past, before the Meteo Attack had started. Even before the Meteo swarm had made the local planets more known to each other, Geolyte was fairly well-known amongst the space-faring races at the time. Even now, it hasn't changed much, besides the occasional crater from the larger impacts.

A surprisingly large percentage of the landmasses of Geolyte are beach or beach-like, with some land suspended by sheer cliffs. This hasn't dissuaded the Geolytes from progressing to be one of the earlier space-faring races around. With a generally tropical climate, technology created to work around the environment, preserving its general natural beauty, and a surprisingly rare chance of heavy storms, the Geolytes have had a rather easy evolution to as they are now. The Geolytes sustain themselves on fruit grown from the trees that grow on the cliffs all around the planet, which ripen and regrow quickly as well.

The Geolytes enjoy a largely labor-free life, as their population grows very slowly, and the food supply isn't running out anytime soon for them. Their culture is generally friendly, with an emphasis on caring for others and attempting to live in harmony with others and nature. When meeting other alien races, they are courteous and usually attempt to make friends with anyone they can, being quite social aliens. That is not to say there are no Geolytes with negative aspects like aggressiveness or evil intentions, an individual's race does not completely dictate one's personality.

In the galactic aspect of things, Geolytes are often supportive of discovering new frontiers and civilizations, and with their penchant for diplomacy, are generally asked to become ambassadors for newly-discovered races.

Dawndus has an odd quirk in its atmosphere that somehow bends the light it receives from the star it orbits in a strange way, which from the surface makes it appear as if it is dawn or dusk no matter where you are on the planet. It also distributes heat in a similar fashion, making it relatively cool to lukewarm in temperature all over the planet. As a result of this, it is incredibly difficult to tell time on Dawndus. The star appears on the horizon at all times, and instead of rising and setting, appears to circle around, skipping across the horizon all around in a loop. Moving across the surface does nothing, the star will appear to stay in the same area no matter where you are on the planet. Notably, where in general planets would have colder polar spots, Dawndus has heat sinks. As one heads north or south on the planet, it becomes warmer and hotter until one reaches the pole, which is incredibly hot, not quite as bad as the Molten Hellions and the like, but still quite hot.

My name is Kaara. I am a native of the planet Dejeh, which immediately causes other races to at the least be quite cautious of me. At most, they'd turn me into their local government, since my race is well known for being a bunch of criminals. That's not entirely true, though. No race is one solid mass of the same exact people.

I have escaped from my planet, because I do not wish to live in one of the worse environments to raise a family in. Criminal, bandit, and terrorist attacks are frequent everywhere on my homeworld, and not even I can figure out why we attack ourselves.

Once I learned that I was going to have a child, I decided to escape. There are few good people on this planet, and fewer that could be found nearby. One of the few friends I have there was able to procure me transport offworld, but from there, I was on my own. I drifted through space for some time, but thankfully there were decent supplies in the transport. Eventually I picked up a signal for a patrol transport, and attempted contact. The Boggobian that responded almost immediately broke off the communication upon seeing what race I was, but a Geolyte onboard convinced him to continue. It took some time and attempted proof, but I had convinced them to let me on board. I shared the rest of the supplies I had with the transport's, and took to a room.

Almost everyone on board the ship would not associate with me, barring the Geolyte who supported me initially. She was a kindly one, although she had never said her name. She took care of me as the transport made its way to its destination, Starrii. I noted to myself that she appeared to be a bit elderly. I still wish I could repay her kindness.

Upon the landing on Starrii, I was further singled out. Most people kept a good distance away, sometimes giving me odd or inhospitable looks, even from a few of the normally-cheerful Starrii oracles. After some time, I found lodgings for a short while. It wasn't amazing, but I was relieved to have shelter. Soon after, I found out about the Metamo Archives, and their usual hospitality, and hoped I could find refuge there. It took even longer, but a transport going off-planet was to pass by the Archives upon its eventual arrival at a Surburbion colony. I managed to get on, and now I live here, at the Archives. My child was born here, and we are accepted here.

The Darthvegans. Possibly the most hostile race in this local cluster of planets, passing even the bellicose Suburbionites or constantly warring Boggobians in sheer hostility (At least the Boggobians are friendly enough to other races!). We know little about them, but they likely know more than enough about everyone else, which is a chilling thought. It is likely they are only in an armistice with the other races due to the collective treaty among us all.

What little we do know of this devilish race is that they have conquered planets in the past, which were never heard from again. Due to Darthvega's nature as a space station rather than a typical planet, it is capable of approaching other planets to engage in combat. It is highly likely they are far more well-armed than the outside appearance would suggest.

No Darthvegan has ever left the ship for any other purpose than combat on record. It is unknown as to what they eat, what they do for leisure, if at all, or if they even have names. When left to the imagination, society within that big polyhedron probably amounts to something far stricter than Suburbion law enforcement or Grannest transport procedures. The fact of the matter is, no one knows. As of writing, anyways

The following interview was recorded after a successful, if still bare, investigation was done by a small team comprised mostly of Firimes and a rather small-for-their-race Hotted. The interview itself is only with the mission's Commander Pymoor (COM).

The interviewer (I) and the commander sit down at the table.

I: Greetings, Commander Pymoor. It's a pleasure to be the one to record your findings from Jeljel.

COM: Great to be here. Lemme tell ya, though, it's not as exciting as you might hope.

I: It should hopefully be informative regardless. Now, I suppose we should start with the general layout of how your investigation went?

COM: Sure. We landed successfully, no fried circuits or anything. Shouldn't have been any anyways since the ship's made for traversing into planet atmospheres like it. It passes through Firim's all the time, after all! It's also made to be able to safely touch down in molten material, since it's very hard to find solid points on Firim or, as we found out, Jeljel. We unloaded the equipment, checked the heat resistance, and then let Galkras out. That's the Hotted we have as a sort of bodyguard.

I: The ship you pilot can hold Hotteds?

COM: It can hold A Hotted. That's about it. Anyways, we did the usual environmental survey, and yup, the result was "It's pretty dang hot."

I: Not very scientific.

COM: What's wrong with a bit of casual attitude every now and again? So we set off to search for a Jeljellian, which turned out to be a fruitless task. With how big the planet is and how few they are in numbers, it's not all that surprising. What was surprising was the first hint anyone's had of Jeljellian architecture. Yeah that's right, we found some, well, we assumed them to be ruins. There wasn't much left, but what was interesting was the materials it was made of. Despite our scouring of the surface materials after the ruins discovery, we couldn't find any semblance of the stuff on the surface. It's honestly surprising the stuff didn't already melt, as despite being made of an unknown material to us, after moving it away from the ruins a bit, the dang stuff melted in the containers we put them in. Igmis figured something about that small area managed to keep it from melting, but we didn't find out what. He's our head scientist by the way.

• The commander begins reclining in his chair, legs on the table. The interviewer pays it no mind and continues.*

I: Any other discoveries after that?

COM: Well, not really. However, our scientists came to the conclusion that Jeljel was not always a molten hellion like Firim or Hotted were. A good portion of the surface lava are not the same materials as the solid stuff. With the time limit we were given before we might be found out and attacked or... whatever, we didn't have time to start any sort of archaeology, if it was even going to be possible.

I: Interesting. What made your team figure that out?

COM: A combination of the disparity between the lava and solid ground materials, emissions from the lava, and the materials of the small ruins. It didn't add up to it all being from the same time.

I: I see. You said your team was on a time limit? Why?

COM: It was simply the time we were told to get in and get out by our science division. We assumed it was mostly for safety. No one really knows how dangerous the Jeljellians could be on their home turf.

I: All right. Any closing statements?

COM: Expect more trips from us, until we're told to stop. While it was barebones, it was interesting while it lasted. Igmis is raring to go back and explore more, given permission. Thanks for having me.

Commander Pymoor leaves the room.

It's time to decide where we ought to have a repository of fan content. As GreenGalaxy2 has pointed out to me in the past, Wikia itself is not amazing for storing fan stories, but we are certainly keeping The Metamo Archives wiki for the purpose of finding information on the video games themselves, and perhaps light overviews of what fan content has been made or the continuity surrounding it. Those may be kept on the subpages we began developing for them. Suggest a good source, and GreenGalaxy2 and I will look into it and determine which one might be best for the format I have in mind.

If you are curious exactly what format I mean, I'd like it to be as the name of the wiki implies, it's a large stored archive of fanmade stories, news, lore, whatever about the planets, their history, events in the Local Sector, and so on and so forth. Once we've established something, I'll get on to starting to write a general continuity to start from, with amendments and additions contributed as it goes. Thanks to the few of you and us that still know about and care to say or create something about this little series. We won't let it fall so far into obscurity oblivion!
