[k] ＠ It's been ninety days since the invasion from space began. In that time, the entire planet has been wiped clean. [k] ＠ We've been fighting back for three months.[sr]Three long, arduous months. [k] ＠ Every single attempt ended in failure.[sr]Of course they did. [k] ＠ We had all kinds of security measures in place to deal with other countries...but we were completely unprepared for an invasion from outer space. [k] ＠ The United States fought hard to the last man,[sr]but even so, they only lasted a matter of days. [k] ＠ With no other options left to them, all the few remaining humans could do was stand by and stare around, dumbfounded, at the endless stretch of nothingness. [k] ＠ Everyone resigned themselves to the fact that each passing day could well and truly be their last. [k] ＠ ...But not me.[sr]I just couldn't let it end like this. [k] ＠ So I turned my back on the campsite and walked away like a petulant child, casting a deaf ear to the people offering up their final prayers. [k] [se ad324] [seVolume ad324 0 0.5] ＠ Before me, I saw a vast wasteland of endless white.[sr]Any trace of humanity had been erased. [k] ＠ We no longer had any hope for survival, let alone of turning the tide. Nothing we tried had even the slightest effect. [k] ＠ In this wasteland, I searched through old records[sr]like a raccoon pawing through garbage. [k] ＠ I managed to find an old motorcycle, with barely enough fuel for a one-way trip, and began riding across the blinding white wasteland. [k] ＠ It's just...nothing about this makes sense. There are so many unanswered questions. If I'm going to die, I at least want to know why. [k] ＠ I can accept an alien invasion.[sr]I can even accept the end of the world. [k] ＠ But I can't accept not knowing[sr]WHY they invaded us, or HOW. [k] ＠ The invasion lasted a good ninety days. There must have been SOME sign leading up to it. Someone must have seen this coming. [k] ＠ Or, maybe...someone knew this was coming,[sr]and decided to LET it happen. [k] ＠ How did the invaders first make[sr]their way to Earth to begin with? [k] ＠ Someone needs to figure at least that much out,[sr]or humanity will never be able to rest in peace. [k] ＠ So I'll keep exploring until I find a lead[line 2]some sort of clue that could lead me to the answers I seek. [k] ＠ This recording might just be me talking to myself...but still, there's every chance that this is the last document remaining on Earth. [k] ＠ My name is David. David Bluebook. [k] ＠ I'm an oddball setting off on the last trip of his life, searching for answers in a world where I'll be lucky to see tomorrow.

At last, Subject E has been relocated to this base. [k] ＠ Honestly, I can barely contain my excitement. This is the biggest thing to happen since the Roswell UFO incident in 1947. [k] ＠ I have no idea how it ended up making an emergency[sr]landing on this planet, and I don't care. [k] ＠ What I do know is that our...visitor is at death's[sr]door and needs our help if it's going to survive. [k] ＠ I also know that it is an intelligent life-form,[sr]and is nothing like us humans. [k] ＠ Its form beggars belief. Thank goodness for the boundless capacity of the human imagination. [k] ＠ This visitor from a distant world looks exactly like the sort of thing one would see in a horror movie.

[k] ＠ I'm literally trembling with excitement.[sr]My entire staff and I are eager to begin our work. [k] ＠ This will be a difficult operation, but we WILL save it. This will be, by far, the most fulfilling work I've ever done. How could I not see that it succeeds? [k] ＠ ...My only regret is that I won't be able to share these discoveries with the outside world. [k] ＠ This project is as classified as they come, and who knows if it will ever be disclosed to the public. [k] ＠ Until then, we must continue to nurse it back to health in secret, here in this underground facility. [k] ＠ It is here that I must study this strange new[sr]life-form. These...tree roots come to life. [k] [messageOff] [fadeout black 2.0] [bgmStop BGM_EVENT_79 2.0] [wait fade] [effectStop bit_sepia01] [wt 0.5] [soundStopAll] [end]
