I'm awake.

I know I posted earlier, and yes, that is an actual email I received from the so-called Red King, but obviously I was not entirely myself. I have been losing time during the day, and now, having read that post, I suppose I have a vague idea as to what's been going on. I can only hope that sort of behavior won't come through in this journal too often. It's very recent, and if I wasn't so tired right now, I'd probably be terrified for myself.

Yes, Greg is missing. Found nothing but a small puddle of blood in a guest room in my house. I've looked for him and even considered calling my neighbor. I finally decided against that just moments ago.

I just don't know what I'm going to do with myself. I, and this is hard to say, have contemplated suicide. I know I cannot bring myself to do this. I want to find my family. I want to figure out what happened with the project. I have too much I want to learn to just blow my brains out.

But how can I live with myself?

It'll be hard.

Anyway, as for some good news, I received an early email from A.F. (our new informant). It's not the pictures he promised me, but it's some archived messages he found while looking for them.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MESSAGE FOR SECURITY
TO: Bernard O'Brien
FROM: Dr. Albert Rosalez

Subject has been compliant lately. Too compliant. He seems to spend much of his time in a meditative state. Do not allow this. I cannot stress this enough, O'Brien. Hit him, shock him, blare rock music for all I care. The subject must not be able to keep a mental focus for too long. I want him sleeping a polyphasic regimen. No more nappy times for ten hours straight. Think. Why does someone who basically sits around all day need that much energy?

MESSAGE FOR HEAD STAFF
TO: Dr. Albert Rosalez
FROM: Bernard O'Brien

Listen Cunty, I can't have half of my goddamn workers wasting their time guarding a cripple. My men have already got patrol cycles so long they'll be lucky to make three runs a day. Ask me, keeping able-bodied threats out is more important than keeping a man who can barely move in. As for this polycycle blah blah whatever sleep regimen bullshit... that ain't my job. You want somebody to act as a human alarm clock, you speak to Brooks or Tyler, alright?

MESSAGE FOR MEDICAL
TO: Dr. Nina Brooks
FROM: Dr. Albert Rosalez

Subject has been too compliant lately. He spends a lot of time in a meditative state. I do not want this to be allowed. He does not need ten hours of sleep a day. I doubt he needs even seven. I want him on a polyphasic sleep regimen immediately. If he's doing what we think he may be doing, then keeping him from focusing mentally is one of the best things we can do to ensure safety for our fellow staff members.

MESSAGE FOR HEAD STAFF
TO: Dr. Albert Rosalez
FROM: Dr. Nina Brooks

Rosalez, you can't just make a person stop thinking. Unless you want to come down here and perform one of your patented super-lobotomies and invalidate all of the subject's usefulness, I suggest you just accept that there will be (if the rumors are even true) casualties. And for the record, I'd prefer it if you called me or something. I've got enough paperwork to go through without reading your annoying memos.

MESSAGE FOR MEDICAL
TO: Dr. Samuel Tyler
FROM: Dr. Albert Rosalez

Subject has been too compliant lately, and I've been hearing that he seems to be meditating a lot. This is not allowed. I do not want him sleeping on anything but a polyphasic schedule. Interrupt him if he seems to be focusing mentally on anything. Do not be afraid to hit him a little if necessary.

MESSAGE FOR HEAD STAFF
TO: Dr. Albert Rosalez
FROM: Dr. Samuel Tyler

I'll try my best, sir. I can't help but think that hitting him just because he seems to be lost in thought is a bit. . . iffy. If we did not have our thoughts to accompany us in moments of isolation, wouldn't we go completely insane? Not that I think he should be allowed to do those things, I'm just saying that hitting him because we believe he's "thinking too hard" may be a bit excessive. I could be wrong.

MESSAGE FOR MEDICAL
TO: Dr. Samuel Tyler
FROM: Dr. Albert Rosalez

Mr. Tyler, when you have worked with the human body and mind for as long as I have, then you will be able to question my orders. Some minor physical punishment in the name of safety is hardly "excessive". I'll also have you know that every one of your coworkers (and most of your superiors) have fallen behind me on this issue. What gives you the gall to go against the beliefs of an expert staff? I hope you're not trying to pass yourself as some petty, sensitive type. Such an act will not fly around here, and you'll find yourself going nowhere but down with that attitude.

MESSAGE FOR HEAD STAFF
TO: Dr. Albert Rosalez
FROM: Dr. Samuel Tyler

I'm sorry, sir. You'll be happy to know that I've already started him on the sleep schedule you requested. I did not mean to question your knowledge, and I apologize profusely.

Interesting stuff. I'll have to look over it when I'm feeling better.

Same goes for answers.

Hopefully I'll be doing somewhat better by tomorrow.

I have to things to say, so I'll start with the most important.

Finding Greg, I believe, is key. Is the blood you found a trail? If it is, I suggest you prepare yourself for an attack (be it physical or mental) and follow it.
If it's just a puddle of blood, then maybe A.F. or, more likely, the Red King may know about it and I suggest emailing both ASAP.

Secondly, the information you've given us is simply amazing.
Is there any possible way that you can give us the email addresses of the Red King and A.F.? They both seem benevolent (but that's just my view).
Also, do any of the names mentioned in the emails have any significance to you? Do you recognize them?

There is no trail. Only a stain of a puddle now. I have attempted to speak with the Red King, but I have not currently received a response. It seems we will only speak on his terms.

Red King speaks to me through Tyler's old email, and A.F. has requested to stay in the dark.

I recognize Bernard, and I believe I met Nina Brooks once. I liked Bernard. He seemed incredibly crass and vulgar when we first met, but he's a very decent and down-to-earth person when all is said and done.

I don't remember much about Nina, except she came off as being very condescending and sarcastic. Of course, that's only if I'm even thinking of the right person.
