It is now safe to say that my team has been here for more than 5 years, although we are not sure of the actual date. We lost communication with the Dharma Initiative and Hanso Foundation a while ago, we still find the need to continue their project. I am wondering how much I can take, without my mother, Danielle, but I must believe what I was told. Danielle, as I told, left me stranded as soon as her ship crashed.
I was picked up by the "Wave" Team, and brought back to the underwater hatch, which also was started by the Dharma Initiative. I was raised in the prospect that the world is wrong, and there are many bad people in the world that should be left to fend for themselves. I was raised as one of the good people, the ones that see an actual future for the people.
Our mission is simple: zoology. We were told to study the newer animals that were not seen in the other parts of the world. We study and then use animals for our needs. We have so far studied horses, boars, polar bears, sharks, and birds. We are a group of thirty or so people, although there are many other teams on the island. My friends include Bea, Pickett, Hue, Shane, Lola, Henry, Tom, Ethan, and Goodwin.
But that brings up the one thing that was stressed to me the minute I met Tom, our executive leader. We must not interact with the other teams. It would distract both of us from completing our necessary "chores".
We live in the water, in a breathable, underwater hatch. When we first studied the shark,the results were not good. We were attacked and the hatch was partially ruined. It had cracks and holes, and was practically waiting to kill us all. But we got it fixed and then continued to study. We finally got control of all of the sharks on the island. We put cameras in all of their eyes, and labeled them. We use them to see if there are any abnormalities with the island or if there are any things we should check out.
So now you understand what we do, but its time to tell you what has happened in the past year that has had us all shocked and unsure of what to do. People showed up on our island. I mean there was no way we could've seen it coming. We were all in the Wave when we heard this unbearable noise. It was like a dinosaur being shot at. We had never heard it before but the more shocking thing was what followed. We heard metal being ripped apart and then a large splash in the water. A plane had fallen.
Over the next few days, we let them figure things out, as we needed to have some things figured out as well. What were we going to do? How should we interact with them? How many were bad? As to the last question, we figured many so we decided to find them. Shane, Hue, Lola and I (Tom has put us into a little search group, as we also hang out together. We are the same age) snuck to the beach and almost screamed at the sight. There were dead people everywhere, and fire, and blood. I could barely stand it. We had only gotten one assignment from Tom: to find a copy of the manifest. Once we had done that we brought it back to him.
He highlighted a couple of names and then gave it to Goodwin. He sent him out to the tail part of the plane to study them and then bring back some people, and/or some news on them. He also sent Ethan to the front half of the plane. We had no idea what to think about whatwas to come, but we hoped it would at least regenerate our "good" population. Seeing as some of us had not survived the five years here.
After Goodwin and Ethan left, we had no choice but to wait and wait for them to come back and give us some news. Then, some time later, we met Claire, Walt, Emma, Zach, Cindy, and a bunch of others. We continued in our ways and on the path of happiness for all people.
