About: Anarchy Road

Look, I know how your PTSD is wearing on you. You've seen horrors unlike anything that's ever occurred on Planet Earth before. You've lived through hell, Sayer Divine, and you came out alive.

I don't think I have to tell you how much I respect you for how well you held out there, Sayer. The devotion to what you do is unlike anything I've ever seen.

I'll help you with your cause. Together, we're going to make the world a better place for people like you.

Fuck… We just momentarily got a bead on Alkain today. We found him in the Satellite, one of ours, Anna Alexi found him. She tried to talk him to his senses, but he was completely out of it. He couldn't remember anything, but he was hell-bent on finding out, and was convinced that Anna was just taunting him.

She tried to make him snap out of it by beating him to his senses, but…

He killed her.

I saw her being blown away and grind against the bridge, leaving a long, thick trail of blood before hitting one of the main walls, and her head was flattened by the momentum. That sound… I don't think I'll ever get over that. I felt like I was about to vomit.

And even worse, Sector Security got their hands on him afterwards. They've stepped up security with anti-psychic measures, so we can't get inside the Facility. Although, intelligence tells us that he's on death row, and he's to be executed tomorrow for the murder of at least seven Sector Security officers.

Now all we can do is hope that they manage to kill him.

I spoke with Kroe today about the communications between Sayer and Houston, and their plan to use the research of Project Akron to create artificial psychics and start a war. Kroe then told me something. Something that clicked. I… I have the interview here. Lemme start it real quick…

KROE: Sayer was in Anarchy Road. You ever heard about that?

MONKEY: Uhh, I don't think I have.

KROE: It's the name of a small territory down in the Middle East. About twenty years ago, there was an outbreak of psychics in the area, and within days, fighting began to break out. Psychics were going crazy, killing and destroying everything in sight. The area was declared a no-man's land and under a strict no-fly zone even to this day.

MONKEY: Woah.

KROE: I know. As part of a business deal, Sayer had to fly across the world. His plane was downed above Anarchy Road and crash-landed. Most thought him dead. Then, a couple of years later, he walks out of the place alive. He talked to me about some crazy things happening there. He saw how everyone was treated, especially the psychics. They're hunted like animals, the populace believes them to be monsters. Worse still, Sayer manifested psychic powers himself after a few months down there.

MONKEY: What? How does that work?

KROE: I don't know, but something must have snapped in him down there. Seeing all that horror, combined with the mental stress that psychic abilities put on the user, he dramatically changed back then. I think seeing all that pain and prejudice made him want to make life better for those who had psychic powers. The Movement's goals and methods are extreme, but I don't think he's a bad person. Just misguided.
