Intellectual Property of the Governance of MOLT, Memelen Division
March 25, 2254
Memelen isn't a city.
It's a prison.
That's right, Governance. This Pre-MOLT log is my one chance to tell you how wrong you've got it, and you're fools if you think I'm not going to use it.
I, Terra Matthew, demand to know what's wrong with me and everyone else in this place. Why were we all taken here after our first MOLTs, or non-MOLTs, rather, since they didn't change a thing about us. Why am I suddenly called TLOM-something, like I don't even have a name anymore? What even is a TLOM? The reciprocal of a MOLT? It doesn't make sense!
I'm supposed to be 1-0, now, but instead, I'm 0-20. 0-20. It's not even supposed to be an age! People go from 0-19 to 1-0, they don't...
Oh, never mind that. What I really want to say is that I'm not happy. Not happy about being taken from my home and put in this sterile, white penitentiary. Not happy about being stripped of my identity. If there's some greater purpose behind this, Governance, now would be a really good time to tell us what it is, because I'm not getting it.
Sincerely,
Terra (not TLOM)
