[The events of a week and a half ago still hang heavy over Gai's mind, something that's unusual for him. He's had his body altered without his consent, even his mind during a few experiments before, but to have his memory messed with... it's far more disconcerting than even he wants to admit. Add in everything else that happened, and you've got one broody former terrorist leader who can't even take out his unhappiness in the Battle Dome due to that damn virus.

So he opts to express himself in another way that's familiar to him, one that doesn't require any physical exertion. Something tells him that he's not the only one feeling this way right now...

When the journal entry begins, the camera is covered, obscuring its owner. All there is is a song playing over the journals, letting the music and the lyrics speak for themselves.

But that isn't all. Once it finishes playing, a written message will appear in a neat and practiced hand.]


There is a universal constant among this world and every other. The world will always force a choice on those within it: either to sit quietly by and be selected out, or to adapt and change. Those are the only two paths that can be chosen.

Our opponents made a fatal mistake when they expected us to choose the former. They underestimated our desire to survive, and that proved to be their undoing. We rose to the challenge, and we survived. And we will keep on surviving, no matter what they may try to send at us. We won't roll over and play dead the way they expect us to.

Well done, Luceti. You should be proud.

How many others were there?

Exactly. So the details don't matter when under the gun, even if people don't get along.

What?

[That part, she said out loud. Maybe it picked it up. No writing happens for several minutes.]

That's terrible.

No. That's not right. We can't keep doing this as just ourselves. Any one loss, one so great, affects us all.

It's too late for too many others.

What about the rest? Were they enclosures we knew?

[That's okay she's still reeling from the first one.]

Vaskoth, gone. I can't believe it.

And you sound like someone who is new enough to have missed all of those idiots making regular scheduled messages asking people if they would take the choice to leave or to stay here forever without experiments and shit. All of them sounded the same, questioning all the ones who were honest and said they would stay and lashing out at those who said they would leave, because we're just terrible living beings with no heart. I have also seen them scold others for trying to take a chance to leave and failing.

The only reason why they haven't started an inside war to force the rest to agree to stay no matter what is because most of the people no longer bother with trying to remind them that we are not supposed to be here.

[What Carol said. Mia recalls her announcement, and wanting to talk to her but not really finding the...motivation. The crisis part of her mind files that away for later.]

I understand.

The fact remains that responding to what "they try to send at us" may not be sufficient anymore. Should not be.

Not permanent but still unpleasant.

I don't think so. [Seriously, stranger. You do not want more people like Cliff around.] People will be people no matter what we do. We can just hope that they listen to sense every once in a while, and learn to decide what to do in their own lives.

...besides, don't you think it'd be a little boring if everyone thought like this? You and I'd be out of a job!

The ones I have seen arguing about it the most, about it being fine that everyone stays, aren't those in the situations you describe. Normally those ones just want to stay themselves for other reasons but don't argue against the ones who want to leave. They just wish that when the time to leave comes people will be able between leaving or staying individually.

I don't really care if the people here leave or stay, neither about their reasons for it. But I have to leave and will do as soon as the chance arises. I'm not going to give up my world and life just because some people have gotten comfortable being guinea pigs.

I'll give you that one. I'm not saying people shouldn't take your words to heart. Just seems pretty bad that we're complacent enough to need them.
