----- LOG 1 ----- Terry: This is Terry of maintenance staff, I will be recording these voice logs in the event that my team and I were to perish, which... I have a sinking dread that it will be the case. Today is August 17th. That date wouldn't be as special as any other day if it wasn't for the fact that something's gone terribly wrong in the underground facility. They simply told us it was a malfunction and... : *bzzt* ??? requested ??? generators overloaded *bzzt* Terry: Copy that. It seems they want us at the generators, we need to move, now. *shuffling* [END OF TAPE] ----- LOG 2 ----- [JUNGLE AMBIANCE] *multiple boots shuffling through foliage* Terry: We're heading over to the generators at the moment, there's a lot of commotion around the island. I'm with my team, which consists of Barnes, myself, [NAME3], our new tech, and Louis, the head of staff. Louis: Storm's starting to pick up again. [NAME3]: You know, there's something about this island, I don't know if it's because of its location or that it's a tropical island, but storms seem to come and go out of thin air. The weather data suggests that. Barnes: There's a lot of things you don't know about this island, [NAME3]. It's best to not ask - keep your head low, and do what we're here to do. *silence* Terry: [NAME3], it's best that you don't know about these things. Anyway, we're nearing the rocky shorelines. [END OF TAPE] ----- LOG 3 ----- [BEACH SHORE AMBIANCE] *key inserts, paneling opens* Terry: How is it looking, Barnes? Barnes: The fuses have all melted. There's a spare in the booth over there, but we'll have to go fetch the rest in the warehouse. Terry: Alright, how long do you think it'll - *incoming footsteps* Trace: Something's not right. We need to get out of here NOW. Terry: Now hold on- *incoming footsteps* Louis: Get moving. We're going to die here! Barnes: What? Terry: Who's over there by the rocks? Trace: Wh-what the hell is that thing? Louis: MOVE! NOW! INTO THE JUNGLE! *brisk footsteps, followed by the sound of foliage being pushed aside* [END OF TAPE] ----- LOG 4 ----- [HARSH FOOTSTEPS] Trace: You ever notice that that thing just stares at us sometimes? I feel like it's not just a watcher, we should be careful. Barnes: You're just being paranoid man, it runs away when you look at it. What's the worst it could do? Trace: I guess so, but what if we don't look at it? What would it do then? What if we don't notice it? I mean, hell, we already don't notice it until it's right in front of us. What if it were behind us? Barnes: Christ, calm down kid. Check your back every now and then if you're so worried about it. Trace: [sigh] Okay... Barnes: It doesn't even come out too often during the day, so don't worry about it. Trace: Right... [END OF TAPE] ----- LOG 5 ----- Louis: Do you not understand english? Listen to what I'm telling you! There is someone / something here! [REDACTED] #1: Don't care, get a move on, that's an order. The generators need to be fixed. Barnes: Are you kidding me? It's suicide to go back there! It's following us! You're ordering us to our deaths! Trace: I told you it was dangerous, Barnes! Barnes: Shut up! You don't know anything! [REDACTED] #2: *gun aiming* Cut it out. Listen to orders, you are repairmen. Not soldiers. Now go. Barnes: But- [REDACTED] #2: *gun cocking* I said go. *footsteps receding* [END OF TAPE] ----- Log 6 ----- Terry: I can't believe this. We're going to die here. Trace: It's just, what are we going to do if it keeps following us? Louis: I don't know, but we'll have to come up with something. Trace: Well, I think it might a crepuscular creature. Barnes: In English, please? Trace: Most active at dawn and dusk. Louis: Nah, seems nocturnal to me. I don't think it likes the sun too much. Terry: But we do see it during the day. Trace: Well, nocturnal doesn't always mean that the creature sleeps through the whole day and only comes out at night. It just means it's more active at night. Terry: It seems pretty darn active during the day to me. Ever since this storm rolled in, we've been seeing it more often. Trace: *finger snap* Of course! Louis, you said you think it doesn't like the sun, right? Louis: Oh, uh yeah. Trace: So, the clouds from this storm are covering the sun, which allows it to be more active. Lous: Huh, I guess that would make sense. *silence while they walk for a bit* Trace: Wait, what is- oh my god, it's a person! Barnes: Jesus Christ, is he dead? Trace: I dunno- *pause while he leans down to check the guard's pulse* No, he's alive! Just unconscious- Louis: If we leave him here, we'll just be leaving him to die. Trace: Mhm. We'd better bring him with us, he's a guard. He might know more about what's going on. Terry [nervously]: Uh huh... [END OF TAPE] ----- Log 7 ----- Louis: Do you think we're safe here? We got the generator going, so the gate to the warehouse works but still. Trace: Yeah, I think we're pretty safe. I don't think the creature can climb. Remember when we stayed at the watchtower? It didn't even bother us there. Louis: True. *pause* Jason: Ugh ow. Trace: Oh, the guard's awake! Jason: The hell? How did I get here? Barnes: You were unconscious when we found you. We decided to take you with us, since the monster probably would've gotten to you otherwise. Jason: The monster yeah, yeah, that thing. It's incredibly dangerous. Seems like it's got territories that it roams. You'd better pray you don't fall asleep in one of them. Louis: Why? Jason: Well, other night, me and my co-worker were chilling out by the generators. I woke up to a noise. The damn creature was right in front of me, about to strike. Hmph. I showed it. Trace: showed it what? Jason: I pumped the stupid thing full of lead. Didn't kill it, unfortunately, but it sure made a quick escape. Trace: Wait, you really managed to shoot that thing?- Barnes: -Sorry to interrupt, but how the hell are we getting out of here? We can't just stay on this cursed island, it's getting more dangerous every day. If you shot the monster multiple times and it lived, I don't think our chances of survival here are great. Terry: Look, we just have to live a little longer. They'll send someone to rescue us. Jason: Hmgh, you really don't get it do you? You are repairmen, they sent you here to fix this. But it escaped. Trace: It escaped? Are you talking about the creature? Jason: The hell I am. Don't you know what you were sent here to do? And why you were left here? Louis: Hold on now, I don't think Trace is ready to hear all of this Trace: Quiet. Go on, uh, guard guy. Jason: Hah, like I thought, you don't know a thing. You still think rescue is coming for you? Trace: Honestly, no. They would've come by now. Jason: So what do you think you're here for? Trace: I am here to repair. And I have been left behind because I know too much, and to keep me alive would be a risk to whatever the hell B-Corp is doing on this island with this monster. Jason: Damn, you pretty much got it. I'm a little surprised. *silence* Terry: A death sentence, huh? Pretty grim. We'd better figure out how to get out of here on our own, then. [END OF TAPE] ----- Log 8 ----- Terry [startled]: Huh?! Barnes: Shh! Terry [quietly]: Louis- Trace? What's going on? Louis [quietly]: I got Jason's gun. He left it behind. Follow me. *quiet footsteps* Trace: Damn, I can't see a thing out here. Barnes: Aren't you blind? Trace: Only in one eye, idiot. Louis: Shh, shh- do you hear that? *wet chewing noises* Terry [quietly]: Where is that coming from? Trace: Over there, I think. W-wait, my eye is adjusting- I see something. Louis: I don't like the look of this. Trace: *horrified gasp* Oh my god, oh my god, oh god, oh no, i-it's th-the guard- the- the monster- it's- Barnes: Oh christ, no, no no no no. What is it doing? Terry: It's- *gag* it's e-eating him! Louis: Oh hell no. HEY! Trace: Louis, wait! *gunfire as Louis lights the monster up* Trace [pained]: My ears- Barnes: God, it's so hard to see. Did you get it, Louis? Louis: I hit home. But I don't know if I killed it- it's gone. *footsteps as they approach what's left of Jason* Louis: Yeesh, poor guy. Let's pay our respects. *silence for a few minutes as they pay their respects* Trace: We should bury him. I don't want the creature to come back and finish its meal. It doesn't deserve that. Terry: Yeah, you're right. *silence for a long time while they bury jason* Barnes: Think it's deep enough? Louis: Mhm. Terry: -I think I've lost hope... *silence* [END OF TAPE] ------ Tape 9 ------ Terry: Man, it's a real pain in the butt to build this plane from scratch. Louis: You're lucky that I know how to do it. Terry: Sure, sure, I know that. Doesn't make it any less of a physical pain, though. Louis: True. Wanna call it a day for now? Terry: Yeah. We got the shed as a landmark so we can find it again. *distant scream* Louis: What was that? It sounded like Barnes! *Louis runs off* Terry: Hold on, hold o- Louis, you're not holding on! Where the hell are you going? Stop! [END OF TAPE] ------ Tape 10 ------ Terry: Well, we're screwed. Trace: It was a bit of a stretch to try and build a plane anyway. It was bound to fail. We don't have all the pieces. Terry: Yeah, but at least yesterday we had Louis and Barnes. And now we don't. We're gonna die, aren't we? *silence* Trace: Yes. We are. Terry: - can you do me a favor, then? Trace: Hm? Oh- where did you get that revolver? Terry: Found it. Yesterday, after Louis and Barnes disappeared, I went searching for them in the caves- y'know where the old facility is? Trace: Yeah. So you found it in there? Terry: Yup. *silence* Terry: Trace, I'm gonna be real with you. I'm going to die, and I don't want to die to that monster. Trace: - I think I know what you're about to ask me to do. Terry: Sorry, I know it's tough. But I don't think I have the nerve to do it myself. Trace: Yeah man, I got you. I know. Terry: It was nice working with you while it lasted, heh. Trace [voice wavering]: Godspeed. *gunshot* [END OF TAPE] TAPE 11 (I reached the max): Trace: This is Trace Goldsworth. Today is- um, August 20th- m-maybe 21st. Everyone else is dead. I found this old radio tower. It's got some sorta transmitter in it that was picking up all the communications between the guards. That's how I know that everyone is dead. I heard it happen. I- I don't have a chance here- *monster noise* Trace: What was- [END OF TAPE]
