Day #3:

Smith 13 - It has been three days since I arrived on this island with Dr. Susan and her team... and already I must confess that ever since I first set foot on in this place I could feel it... I have never felt anything like this before... so strange... so powerful... what is this feeling... I feel like a child lost in a storm crying out for the warm touch of love that I know I'll never feel again... I don't know why but something... something about this place scares me I just hope I can find out why before it's too late. I must go now… the sun is going to be soon and I am going on a morning investigation trip into the temple located in this Islands epicenter... maybe there I can find some answers...

Smith 13 - Night has fallen now here on the Island and my journey into the temple has just left me with more questions and no answers about both who built the temple and why... The Temple is massive in size with walls of shimmering silver and a glass like material and there is a room not too far in behind a secret passage containing a series of scrolls written in a language that is thus far unidentifiable but we are still running tests. Sorry I cannot talk more they are calling me down to the hospital wing... sounds urgent... I better go for now...

Smith 13 – it appears we are not as alone as we thought Dr. Susan found a man near-death and unconscious just below one of the Island's waterfalls just off to the west of the temple... using the amazing healing properties of the Water found here we managed to safe the man's life and in just a few short hours all his injuries seemed to have healed almost completely now all that is left to do is wait for him to wake up... there is one last thing that is bothering me... last night I think I saw something... last night as I stared out the window of my quarters I saw what looked like a strange hooded figure lurking around the entrance to the temple... I don't know who or what it was that I saw lurking out there but I'll bet who or whatever that hooded figure was has the answers I am looking for... and next time I see it I'll be ready... I must admit though I think it looked at me... I could not see it's eyes to be sure but I felt... and it sent shivers down my spine... but I will find a way to communicate with it... I will get the answers I seek... one way or another...

Part #2:

Black Moon 4 – thanks to some quick thinking of Dr. Smith and the strange healing waters found here on the Island we managed to save the life of the young man I found yesterday although finding the body of a young man beneath one of the Island's waterfalls only raises more questions in my mind… what was that man doing here before us… who is he… and does he know anything that can help calm this fear I feel growing ever steadily in my heart... I heard voices last night... new ones... ones I had never heard here before... whispering to me and as I listen I know... what I know I can't explain but I know it anyways... this place... it's essence I can feel it watching me... stalking me... surrounding me... and then I realized there was no running from it... no hiding from it... no escaping from it... and I find my thoughts fading back to times and joys long past... the laughter of my early child hood and the sweet taste of my girlfriends lips almost as if this island was pulling my memories from me... I think I am losing my self to this place... more and more I can feel it even know... it's power creeping it's way deep into my heart... I can feel the Island's heart beating forth out of the deep keeping time with mine and I know this island… this place is alive and I fear that it's intentions are far from good as new questions continue to manifest in my mind... what the hell is going here... what's happening to me...

Day #4:

Black Moon 4 – I watched the sunrise this morning and for a moment I was able to get lost in it's beauty and to forget about all the questions and emotions that have been plaguing me since I first arrived here on this Island. I have never been one to believe in anything beyond what I can see with my won two eyes but being here now and feeling what I have been feeling ever since I got here I must admit is beginning to make me believe in the unknown and the invisible. The calmness of the sunrise while soothing also worries me because I can't help but wonder it is just the deep breath before the plunge...

Section #2: Classified Recordings of User Name Smith 13 Part #2:

Smith 13 – something happened to me today something I can't explain... it all started just before sunrise I heard something that woke me from my uneasy slumber... voices whispering to me telling me to follow. As I followed them they lead me to the young man in the hospital wing the one Dr Susan had found... and as I looked at him I felt something wash over me like soothing warmth and I felt drawn to him… as I approached his body the voices began to tell me to kiss him and I obeyed and when I lips touched I felt a surge of energy rush through me like fire in my blood and I saw his eyes open briefly and when they did I saw it… the mark… the mark the voices called "Oblivion". Then as fast as the warmth and voices had come they were gone and control over my mind was mine once again but what had just happened what was that mark I saw in his eyes... what does it mean... tonight I will wait and watch to see if the hooded figure returns tonight and if It does I will follow it... if it does I will get my answers... I will make sure of that... no matter what...
