Everybody… I won't play around with you. I won't hide anything. To be honest, I don't even think this will reach anyone of you. The civil war that's breaking out across New Domino has taken so many lives already, and the death toll just keeps climbing.
For every minute we safely pump the required energy out of Akiza in order to power the engine, at least two people are killed.
And as if it couldn't get any worse…
He's back.
Jay Alkain is back. Lance couldn't kill him. He's still here, and reports say that he's heading here. Neither Lance nor Snow can go to stop him; they're both too busy fending off attacks from the desperate gangs that are constantly fighting in order to gain resources.
Sergey Blaze is the only one who can and is brave enough to go and face Alkain. That kid, he's got powers beyond anything we can understand. He can start some sort of 'Darkstar Duel', which not only changes the rules of the game, but also puts the souls of everyone in the vicinity at stake as well.
And not only that, but Blaze talked to me earlier this day; before he went out to stop Alkain. He talked to me about… Anarchy Road, and what actually happened there. I think I have the recording somewhere…

BLAZE: So, what do you want to know about Anarchy Road, Monkey? What has piqued your interest?
MONKEY: Well, a lot of things, actually. Mostly I just want to hear about your involvement in it.
BLAZE: Well… I was there.
MONKEY: Pardon?
BLAZE: When the fighting began to erupt in the area, I was part of the multinational team sent in to investigate just what was going on in there.
MONKEY: And what did you find?
BLAZE: Insanity. I found insanity, madness, genocide and destruction. I found nothing but that. The atrocities that happened there are something I wish I had never seen.
MONKEY: Woah.
BLAZE: It was a miracle that I even made it out alive. A good few of those who were in the team could barely stomach it. I cannot say I blame them, fighting kids armed with nothing but rage and dark energy is anything but heroic.
MONKEY: About that; why did Anarchy Road even happen? What caused it?
BLAZE: Did Kroe tell you about how they managed to transfer the dark energy into the body of the subject?
MONKEY: Yeah, by turning it into electricity through the Engine. But he never told me where the dark energy came from.
BLAZE: It came from a strange artifact that Kroe dug up. Have a guess where it was buried.
MONKEY: Anarchy Road?
BLAZE: Exactly. The amount of dark energy inside the artifact was insane. God knows how long dark energy has been seeping out of it. When the whole disaster started something happened with that artifact and it began periodically releasing waves of dark energy in the form of thunderstorms.
MONKEY: So through these thunderstorms, the artifact created psychics all on its own?
BLAZE: Normal psychic powers are unstable enough as they are. Psychics that use dark energy are even worse; prone to insanity, mental instability, cognitive dissonance and even physical mutations in extreme cases.
MONKEY: Oh my god…
BLAZE: I even found myself having these powers when I managed to escape Anarchy Road. I've refrained from using them as much as possible, and I'm taking immense amounts of medication just to ward off the side effects of the powers. Though today will be the day when I have to use them again.
MONKEY: Woah… that's… that's really selfless.
BLAZE: I hope so. I wish I could stop Alkain, but his powers have too good a grip on him. If there is to be any hope of stopping him, then I have to kill him.
MONKEY: To be honest, I think that's for the best. I saw him back in the facility; the kid was absolutely insane. I don't think there was any hope for him since the day he first went in the Engine.
BLAZE: Is he really that bad?
MONKEY: He's killed dozens of people already, and he thinks we're trying to kill him, so now he's coming here in order to kill us.
BLAZE: Poor kid.
