Friends, heed this and allow me to ask a minor boon of you all. We live surrounded by death, and each day a few of us fall to the dangers that lurk here. I have not been here long, so word of such deaths do not reach me often, but still such deaths must be recorded.

I do not ask for much, only that the names of your fallen comrades be placed here, so that they may be recorded. Neither do I offer much, not even my name, for such things are not important. All that I offer is the knowledge that the names placed below will be recorded, as is proper.

*The rest of the paper is blank with plenty of room to fit other people’s names.*
