Starting a new notebook! Jack kindly asked me again how I was doing today, but so far, alas, I have nothing to please him with. He also rightly noted that the weather is good. Anyway, I have to keep going. Took insects from traps, picked fruits and collected water. Writing a note just while the filters are making the water drinkable.

Eureka! Sample BDS-2378-56 seems to be working! Negative side effects for the first time have not been observed for more than a day, as well as, of course, the symptoms of the disease. Apparently, it's all thanks to this new kind of moss that I found outside. Jumping with joy the way Alexander Fleming probably danced 450 years ago. Amazing, really exactly 450 years ago! Nice. Of course, Fleming was unlucky, unlike me, to make the discovery alone in what was left of the state secret underground biolab, but can I do? It's time to uncork the cherished glass and tell Jack the good news tomorrow!

Took a breath of fresh air and looked at the vines and ivy above. Don't know if anyone imagined such a thing 31 years ago, just before the outbreak of the plague pandemic of the 24th century. Very quickly, only a few with natural immunity remained – if they remained. Although, of course, I'm hardly the only one so lucky to be the last survivor of people. However, as for the living speakers, I have so far met only Jack. In the radio waves for all these years I have not heard anything but interference. By the way, Jack didn't please me with his visit today.

Again, solid white noise at all frequencies. No voices, no other sounds.

A month has passed since the introduction of the drug to the patient, the virus has been defeated, the condition is stable, there is no deterioration. Will try to stop the process of cryopreservation of the body. Fully aware that so far only lethal outcomes have been observed as results, but this person is healthy, and I must try. If I fail, it is unlikely that someone will ever bring him to his senses without me. Of course, I will leave him anyway, but at least will give him the opportunity to live, and not exist.

Today saw a meteor shower of incredible power for the first time at the top. Believe these are artificial satellites that, unattended, began to burn up in the atmosphere and fall to the surface. Told Jack I found solution, he was happy for me and the weather. I'll wake up the patient tomorrow. Surprisingly, once we could build secret research institutes deep underground in a matter of days in the hope of stopping the plague. And now this artificial starfall of human technological helplessness.

Unfortunately, the person died, but the indicators show that this is due solely to the shock reaction of the body to a defrost attempt. Well, I tried. Will not touch the rest of the bodies – entered a successful version in all of them, BDS-2378-56, hope that someday life will interrupt their cold sleep due to certain circumstances. One thing is for sure – the medicine works, so it's time to deliver it.

If everything works out, today is the last time I'm here. Jack, fortunately, was here today, again noted that the weather is good and, as usual, asked how I was doing. Suddenly, fireworks began to rattle in the sky nearby, a large number of them scared us both, Jack flew away, and I didn't have time to answer him or say goodbye. In a hurry, I returned to the lab, looked at the map and realized that, apparently, one of the satellites collapsed near the pyrotechnics warehouse and started a fire that reached products that were festive once, today. Well, apparently, this is all in honor of my departure. Goodbye, Jack. I am very grateful that chance allowed one of the once pet parrots to be near me and delight me with human speech all this time.

Of course, no one conducted practical tests of the quantum portal gun after its forced invention in 2347. In theory, the device should allow me to get to one of the points of our space-time continuum that has ever happened on Earth. As a location, chose a field near the boundaries of the farm. Then will get to the city and then to my colleagues and the government. Then we agreed on everything and hope that they are waiting for me there – alive and well. The very beginning of the plague, all chances to have time to win.

For the first time heard some unusual sound from the receiver! Once again today listened to the noise for several hours, sorting through the frequencies, then started tuning the portal device – and the sound! It looks like it's because of the portal after all. So, 2347. Right now, in the center of the lab, opposite the portal cannon, see in front of me an uneven round hole the size of a man, with a bluish glow around the edges. Inside is a wall of dark wooden planks, apparently the inside of an abandoned barn. With me – an inhaler with BDS-2378-56, local cash and this diary with a pen. Go.

October, 2347?
I'm locked up! This is the hold of the ship, the crew speaks something like Italian, but some words are incomprehensible to me. The diary has not been found yet, but they took inhaler away. I hope they will not lose it. The ship, though large, is wooden, which is strange for the year 2347 indicated by me on the portal gun.

I remember exactly that I specified “2347”. It's dark and damp here. I have exactly specified “2347”. I exactly pressed 4 digits. I see some rats. Squeaking. Squeak... the receiver distracted me, but I'm sure… I saw exactly how I pressed “3”, “4” and “7”. The first one I had to press “2”, the finger was definitely near the “2”. Maybe it turned out to be “1347”?
…
I hear voices and coughing, several people come back, if they take away the diary, I won't be able to write in the near future. I hope nothing happened to the inha
