The Diary of Zartoon

ENTRY 22

02.04.63.12.45

Unfortunately, I just could not sleep at all last night. So after an hour or so, I just sat on a rock near the entrance and watched the people entering and exiting the building. One thing I noticed was that they were all dressed the same... light gray robe, a hood, and sandals. I couldn't see their face so I couldn't tell if they were Zartoon or Human or even if they were male or female. They all looked that much alike.

I waited until just before sunrise, just observing everything that was happening. Luckily, one of the beings suddenly started walking towards me. It was alone, so when it got close enough, I jumped across, attacked the creature and stole its robe.

The robe had been easy to get off, and when I did, I saw that the "creature" was a young adult Human female. Now, I did not hurt her... I just knocked her hard enough to make her unconscious so that I could tie her up and gag her. After all, I didn't want her yelling for help.

I then decided to walk around the towers as I didn't want to reveal where I had set up camp. It took me about an hour, but luckily I was wearing the robe, so once I got to the gate it was easy to take the posture of the others and simply walk in.

That hologram was still there, but this time, she seemed to be preaching to all the people who walked in. It was a message of peace and love that reminded me of the crap I heard in Sunday school. I couldn't take it then and I sure as hell couldn't stand it now.

Like I said, I was doing the same thing as the others in the room which meant that I had to keep my eyes facing the ground, but I could still see a lot. I saw her figure on the floor as well as those of the spirits that were still flying around her.

Finally, after an hour she stopped preaching and told her followers to split into groups. As she said that each of the people dropped their robes. There were an equal number of men and women in the group. Of course, I had to disrobe also. I was nervous about it, but once I did, neither she nor the spirits seemed to notice me, so I quietly joined one of the groups and continued to listen to her diatribe.

"The Human race needs you," she said. "There are no more people on Earth to colonize here. I need you all to go as groups. It is your responsibility to create life and help the Human race thrive in this barren world. Now go and do what I ask."

Now, it didn't sound quite like she was asking me. It sounded like a command that all of those around her were more than willing to obey. It was almost like watching robots the way they listened with wide opened eyes and a complete lack of any intelligence.

So I followed the group, but I didn't go into the room. Once I was out of sight of the main chamber, I took off on my own.

It is now 12.40. So I am going to end this for now. I will report more later.
