5/28-Tuesday

Dear Diary,

School went a little better today minus the spray-painting but I'll get to that in a bit. Right now I've got to tell ya about all the stuff Kurt, Forge and I found out when we went back to that facility this morning. As I suspected, all the computers were password protected but Forge cracked all the codes without breaking a sweat. I'm really good with finding hidden files and such but I'm nowhere near hacker status like Forge. He's absolutely amazing! Anyways, we each took a computer to look thru and gather information onto discs. I got a little confused with all the technical terms but Forge helped me out. I swear he was like a little kid in a candy store with all the technology he was exposed to.

The first computer I went thru contained detailed information on every program installed into the Sentinel. From it's mutant detection sensor down to how it calculates the accuracy of weapon fire. I learned about the signals it sends to the mainframe computer inside it for split-second reactions to any counter-attacks. I learned about its light, heat and movement sensors; it's activating and deactivating modes, about it's defense mechanisms.

The first computer Kurt went thru contained information on all the bugs and flaws within the Sentinel's computer system and weaponry and the fixes for them. It seems with the test Sentinel we fought, one of the bugs they couldn't fix was that the Sentinel kept deactivating. Though there wasn't any indication that a solution was found, it looked like they were on the verge of finding one.

Forge's computer contained logs of progress on the test model. Like what day programs were installed and when missiles were added to its arsenal.

I finished with my computer first and started on the second one. I hit the jackpot with this computer. It contained a list of places where parts had been bought. Places from all over the world. It also contained a list of names of programmers, technicians, designers, and overseers. Then I found a list of states that contain secret facilities—and besides the one we were in, there was one more in this state! There wasn't an exact city or address or anything but at least we know there's another one somewhere in this state. Now all we have to do is find it.

I had finished copying all that I could onto that one disc and was getting ready to pop in another disc when the computers suddenly crashed. Forge tried to re-boot a computer up but all the information had been erased. We heard footsteps and voices so we gathered all our discs and Kurt teleported us out. I think someone linked to the computers realized we were hacking into them and deliberately erased all the information. Then sent a squad to come get us. I'm glad we got as far as we did. Forge said we would have been caught a lot sooner if he hadn't gone thru the back door and redirected some technological term I can't remember now. I'm just thankful he knew what he was doing.

Though we didn't find out where Logan, Rogue and the others are; we got a lot of useful information and we'll have to do a lot of legwork to get to the bottom of things. But we're definitely one step closer to finding them!

I only caught two hours of sleep before I had to leave for school. As I mentioned earlier, school went ok except for the minor incident. All the X- Men and Brotherhood lockers were spray-painted with "Freak" and "You're not wanted." I wanted to run away but I held my head high when I saw it. It's almost over…

A few kids actually spoke in passing to me. Some didn't turn and run but most still did or didn't make any eye contact. The catcalls hurt but I ignored them as best I could. This break from school will either give the students a chance to absorb the fact that mutants exist among them or it will end up making them more bitter and hateful. Here's to hoping for the best!

Well Diary, I've got to run. We're going to have a big discussion in a few minutes about all the information Forge, Kurt and I collected this morning. Hopefully we'll come up with a plan and decide on a course of action.
