Eins's Journal
Penrose-512 Ship Log
A ship log is hidden deep within the storage system of the 512-Penrose Vessel that Eins inhabits.
It is accessed by playing the signal that Eins emits, a three-note oddity.
Kings & Queens
An Inner reflection.
Cycle 27
Looking back upon it now, I wonder, how did it end up this way?
It was doomed from the start I suppose, living out there in the stars, free and yet not. limited by those who rule us, and tortured by those who wish to free us.
I miss my bookstore, I was able to express myself back then, before I was moved into the military for conditioning and training.
It was claimed by them that i was..a danger to their mission if I were to dream, dream of things I did not have, Dream of things I wished to have.
As time went on I began to hide myself, wearing a mask, hiding what I wanted and who I was, like everyone else. Although Im still not sure that was the correct choice.
But for now I am happy, out here among the stars, even though I am now alone in this vessel racing through space.
They gave me this small reprieve, even though it is a lonely one, I can express myself here, I was granted a small crate to fit anything I deemed necessary inside, Paints, books, toys, anything I wished, although despite wanting it all I only brought two things.
Paint and a single tome, both long forbidden, but things I've had since my childhood. So for now, I will roam amongst the stars, enjoying this brief reprieve.
No eyes, no monitors watching my every movement, my every meal, my every rest.
Out here I will be free, and I will be happy.
ISOLATION
Isolation on a lone vessel.
Cycle 51
They warned me of this, the symptoms of long-term loneliness, despite my happiness to be free. I miss companionship, the stars can only entertain you for so long I suppose.
So, now I will write again, Just like before, this helps alleviate my mind I suppose. Although it is still a dreary sight here, on this ship.
The only colors I have seen besides my paints is the inky darkness of space with the mono-gray steel of the ship, perhaps some color on the ship will liven things?
I drew the same painting today, The Isle of the Dead, It keeps appearing in my dreams like a parasite, so much so that I have eight paintings of it in a cargo bay.
I need some new inspiration, maybe of my home? While it was all-controlling, the falling stars always made being on the surface enchanting on my trips above.
I have reread my book, I find new meaning every time I read it. I feel as if I am reading myself when I read that book, It makes my mind wander.
I still have yet to have a dream, though perhaps I will have one tonight after writing my thoughts out. But I doubt it, I have never done it before.
They augmented my body before I left, something to help sustain myself out here, use less supplies while I fly amongst the stars in a demonstration of their power.
I am still getting used to it, however every day out here I am becoming more adept with it. More capable.
Out here I am free, and I am happy.
Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.
