@189Vespucci Great to hear, man. Glad us Europeans are one step closer to colonizing the New World!

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Vasco Balboa's ways were often harsh, but they were effective. They are what opened the way for colonizing this entire area. They are what helped push us forward as a crew. Props to you, man! Thank you for everything! #respect

I can reveal that he was charged for rebellion, high treason, mistreatment of Indians, and other misdeeds. He was summoned by Pedrarias who said he "just wanted to have a little chat." This man brought him to trial. #backstabber

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Hello, I am one of the compañeros that accompanied Balboa on his journey to the South Sea. I regret to inform all of you that my captain has been executed in January of 1519. He was decapitated. #rip

@189Vespucci Ugh ikr. What even is this climate?!

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Still trying to get used to the hot and VERY humid climate here. Currently checking the weather forecast. Hopefully, the winds will work in our favor. Our ships aren't very advanced and they heavily depend on the winds. 😬😬

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

@189Vespucci I know right? They thought my beard was wool lol.

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Once Pedrarias is gone, I plan on working my way back up to power again! I plan on rekindling my relations with the Indians and continuing to explore the land. No one will stand in my way as I open up the way for Spain's future. Okay, enough about me, what is everyone up to atm?

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Was finally able to convince people of just how much of an unfit ruler Pedrarias is! Hopefully, the new governor will subject Pedrarias to a residencia; everyone will see just how bad of a ruler he is!

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Gonna spend another year or two exploring here. Can't wait to go on more expeditions and discover what this place has to offer. An amazing future for Spain awaits us! We will be rich!

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

When Perdrarias finally gives you a chance to further explore the Gulf of Saint Miguel.

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Working with Pedrarias is so constricting! I feel like he is just scared that I will overthrow him 'cause I have better leadership skills. He just isn’t considering the colonizing opportunities for the future! #theworstrulerever

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Despite my position as governor of these provinces and the South Sea, I still have to answer to Pedrarias. Hopefully, he will set his priorities straight and finally let me explore the South Sea. #fingerscrossed

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Just texted King Ferdinand II about Mar del Sur. I’m now back in the game and an #adelantado of the Mar del Sur and the provinces of Panamá and Coiba. #guesswhosback

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Apparently, while I was gone @PedroAriasDavila took my place in charge. #totallynotupset #iwasabetterruler

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Would like to thank the Indians that helped me navigate. Learned lots about your polytheistic culture and art. However, I recommend you convert to Christianity in the future. #thanks #sorryaboutheotherIndiansIkilled #godbless

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

I would like to take a moment to talk about my discovery here. Not gonna lie, I’m so excited to commercialize and further explore the coast and this new sea. However, I am still a little #salty that I didn’t find the infinite gold which was promised.

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

I know it’s January of 1514 already, but the 3G in that musty forest was unbearable! I am back in Santa María, though. Also, happy new year!!

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Gonna head back to Santa María now! Can’t wait to get back and brag about my discoveries to the king! #first

[Natalia S @188VascoBalboa]

Haha nevermind. There are some intense thunderstorms so I’m gonna have to return inland. This is what it sounded like. #thunderstorm #sad

I found another one of these little white balls they have here! They are beautiful! Apparently, there are more on the archipelago I see in the distance. Hoping to maybe take them back to Spain someday! #commodities
