Author's Note: This is a response to some confusion over the holy water. Yes, it is just ordinary water, but it is water that has been consecrated by a priest. I suppose it's a matter of belief if you personally think the water is holy. In the Catholic Church, in which I belong, we use holy water quite a bit in blessings, baptisms, and can be used for exorcisms. I did brief research on how ghost hunters get rid of ghosts, and their websites say to either have a priest bless the haunted area and pray for the spirit, or to bring in a psychic. Since the PIT is in lockdown, it'd be just about impossible to sneak in a person, so Duke and the others had figured that water blessed by a priest was the next best alternative. Okay, enough of Jaye's interesting fact of the day, on with the story. I only wrote this to try to avoid confusion.
Doctor's Log
September 23, 2004
This is the fourth day of lockdown. Damn Hawk.
Kamakura and William broke out of the brig last night. That's a bit out of character. Kamakura's too young and new to pull a stunt like that and William's not going to intentionally piss anyone off because he's not officially a Joe. A big reason that probably is would be that Cobra Commander is his father. Not that I personally have a problem with that. Funny thing is, we both have something in common…..very poor fathers.
Anyway, I guess the reason they'd broken out was because they had a visit from the ghost. Apparently they forgot to put holy water around the brig, or they had just run out of it. They were only able to steal a gallon from General Hawk. The poor guys were so freaked out that they threw caution to the wind and busted out. Hawk was pissed.
A very angry Hawk marched them back down to the brig, which the two of them have renamed "The Dark Pit of Doom." I have the feeling that those two are forming the kind of destructive friendship that Falcon and Chuckles have. They seem to get into more trouble when they're with each other. This is not good.
The ghost didn't appear last night, at least not in the areas where the holy water had been. (Which wasn't many places.) Maybe it really does work.
Oh, and Firewall was more conscious today. She's the first "casualty" of this damnable "Ghost War." She had her laptop with her and was teaching the other three idiots basic hacking skills. That definitely isn't good. The last thing we need is Beach Head, Gung Ho, and Dusty with ANY kind of hacking capabilities. And I was worried about them corrupting her. Hah. Firewall's the one being a bad influence on them. Hacking…oh God.
I almost forgot, Hawk threw Cover Girl and Jinx into the brig too. They'd "borrowed" several weapons without authorization and were tracking (Or so they claim.) the ghost. I hear they almost blew up the boardroom. Why they were firing weapons in there, I have no idea. It's not like it's going to kill a ghost or anything.
Uh oh, I can hear Hawk bellowing down the hallway. I suppose I better hide our equipment before we get thrown in the brig too.
