          I don't know how to feel right now. Just when we were hoping for things to get better, in fact things went from worst to worst. From my last log, I was called by my superior regarding our test subject...
          
          The rabbit escaped and attacked a scientist reaching for it. It took us some time to find it but during that time...
          
          I don't even know what I've just saw. The scientist was fine with only a bite mark on his arm and then a few hours later, he started changing. Changing into something monstrous. We were unsure what to do as he was screaming in pain, yelling how painful whatever he was going through in this process is. By the time he stopped screaming, he started growling like an animal and then...
          He killed them, he killed my colleagues, my friends, ripped them like we're nothing but paper. The guards shot him with hundreds of bullets, I wouldn't say hundreds but he survived. He remained standing with the exception of a bullet in the head which appeared to stun him. Afterwards he escaped.
          
          We didn't know what to do or what we've just seen but when we found the rabbit...
          Holy hell, I don't know how to describe it. Its appearance doesn't resemble an animal, instead it represented some kind of creature we have never seen before. It took a while to gun it down but by the time we think it's dead...
          
          The scientist came back and what's worse...
          What he's been through was only the first stage as he appeared to go through some kind of transformation that made him more animalistic...
          
          I don't know what to do but I feel like, the scientist and the rabbit are not alone as I fear the entire facility is contaminated and that they're now hunting us like we're all part of the food chain.
          
          We don't know what we're going to do but I fear even if one of us tries to escape, those creatures, those things might take advantage of them. Right now, we're looking into what might have caused this in the hopes of finding something that can stop them...
          
          I'm scared...

          When I was a little girl, I always wanted to be the person that could save the world, to help people from things that drag them, hurt them or destroy them. That was the only thing I thought of and because of that, I struggled in wondering what I really wanted to do.
          
          So in my past life, I decided to study law but after some time, it wasn't for me so I dropped out and became a nurse where I started out part time to eventually working my way up. That was the life I had and one I missed but what I didn't miss about this job was how I was so committed to it I shrugged off everything life can offer me.
          
          The only person that supported me throughout my life was my grandma...
          
          She was there for me from the beginning but the bombs took her away. What's worse was I wasn't there for her, I was told through an alarming system to go Underground and take shelter while my grandma is still in her house, unable to move fast...
          God I wish I was there for her...
          
          Now I'm here, doing what I can with what the company wants me to do. But the thing is, I'm not doing this for the company or the world, I'm doing this for myself, the people that perished and my grandma. With what I'm doing, I hope she's proud of me, I know my colleagues are telling me she is proud, I sometimes doubt it. 
          
          It's only been four days since we got results from the tests and tbh, I'm happy but also scared if it'll actually lead into the success we always wanted. The hard part is keeping it hidden from the outside world who if spotted will do anything to get it shut down or worse, stolen. We don't know where the project will fall, we're all hoping for the best results but if worse case scenario...
          
          Why am I getting worried about that, it should hopefully end up well...
          
          Hold up, my superior is calling for me, he's telling me that something happened and that me and a couple of others are needed urgently...
          
          I'll come back in a bit.

          We injected the serum onto the rabbit and in just 24 hours, results are showing signs of improvement. Taking a blood sample from the animal, the serum is actually doing a good job. Radiation symptoms affecting the blood cells are being fought off by the effects. Seeing this, we couldn't help but celebrate this success so we all ended up in the cafeteria and getting ourselves some drinks while also reporting the results to hq. 
          
          With this result, we might finally be able to create multiple doses but for now, the work continues in what could be the final stage of development. By the time it ends, I'll be so happy to go back to the outside world, not just be there, to breathe in it just like how it was before the bombs. 
          
          The next thing we're going to do once Project Fallout is complete is to rebuild the world. That'll take time and people and that's okay because this project was created to bring people back to how life used to be, to give children a chance to experience what we all experienced when we're outside. 
          
          For now, I'll keep an eye on our cute little pet, see if there's any other side effects we might counter so that improvements can be made on the serum...
          
          Thank God we only used a quarter of it.

          Man doing this project tires me out. Spent almost three years inside this place and I don't even know how many more left I have in the tank but what do I have to do if I choose to leave mid way. Maybe do an office desk, maybe work in the hospital labs taking care of patients suffering from radiation, maybe sick children, so many options but to me, I feel like my purpose remains in this project. This project is huge and there is no turning back. Now that me, the other doctors and the scientists have felt we have finally reached something. A breakthrough perhaps.
          
          We were able to create some sort of serum that might help bring this project to a close. We first tested it by using my blood, pricking it with a needle and dropping it on a glass before infecting it with radiation. Afterwards, we injected a drop of this serum onto my blood and in a few minutes, the results have shown that the serum is able to fight back against the radiation. 
          
          Unfortunately during this first stage of tests, it isn't that strong as parts of the radiation still remains on the blood cells so we continued making improvements on it over the coming months.
          
          Present day now with us, we feel we might have found the breakthrough we have been looking for. It feels scary saying this but I'm hoping it would lead to something. We tested it again on infected blood cells and alas, it appears this serum is finally able to combat the radiation. Not completely but still, we'll continue making improvements.
          
          As of writing today, with the improvements made on the serum, we will be testing this on a rabbit infected with radiation. Poor thing having to go through this pain but with this serum, it can finally free this rabbit from his endless suffering. It can finally bring people back. 
          Hold up, I'm getting called by my superior which means it's time. 
          
          Wish me luck.

          Once EASE's higher ups decided to go for Project Fallout, no one approved of it. They would rather leave the world to how it is, let people suffer, let the government take advantage of this situation. Being with EASE does allow me to feel like I'm in the past, at home, with my fish and chips, with my friends. My time with EASE will never beat my past memories but being with them was the best choice I have ever made.
          
          When they told me about the project, I couldn't help but agree to it, seeing that now is my chance to make the world better. What surprised me the most was how EASE were able to create their own Underground facility filled with science labs, cafeterias, bedrooms, offices, medical rooms and so much more. They spent more than a year getting it done adding those facilities, as well as many floors that makes this Underground facility into its own building. After they were able to construct their Underground facilities in secret, it was time to bring the team. Going down for the first time felt weird but in the end, it felt like it was another home to live by. What helped the most handling these living conditions was by relying on each other, to the point where we became a family. 
          
          As much as I love working on this project with the people I love being with, I would rather be in the outside world than stay here. Right now me and some others were tasked to go to the outside world to collect radiation particles in the hopes of combining them with what we were able to create in the labs. The plan is to combine the radiation particles with the 'cure' as research reveals combining them would not only help rid the atmosphere from radiation, it can also help cure people suffering from acute radiation symptoms. Might take a while but we're hoping after a couple of stages, we can test it on radiated affected animals roaming around the city.

          It's been one year since we started Project Fallout and during that time, we were able to gather lots of research and resources to make progress on our anti radiation cure. Man, I gotta say, can't believe it's been one year already and I'm still inside this... this place. There are times me and a couple of EASE employees got ourselves outside to rendezvous with our superiors and scientists assigned to work on the project in our headquarters...
          
          I love what EASE is doing, that's why I joined this project so that we can make a difference but sometimes, having been inside for a year, doubts and insecurities get the best of me, wondering how long it would take till we perfect it. I'm also scared that after three or five years later, the project might end up being a failure...
          Or that it might lead into something catastrophic.
          
          Those insecurities and worries distracted me from what I was doing to the point where I screwed up. I'm not sure how many times I screwed up but every time that happens, all I feel is guilt, feeling I'm just making a fool out of myself to the point where I started questioning my purpose in EASE.
          I always been questioning what my purpose is to this world since the day I was born, wondering where I'm supposed to go, what to do next, what I'm supposed to do. Some would say get a job, get a life, get a house, start a family but it's too late, it was only through the bombs it was final. When EASE came to me, I accepted so that I can be a part of something. To bring people back to the outside world. With how I'm handling work, I'm not so sure...
          
          But what am I doing, work is work, we're here to make a difference. Whatever happens in the past, we have to move on. It's hard to move on regarding the circumstances but...
          
          I want to try...

          Hello, my name is Elizabeth Palmer and I'm a doctor at EASE Incorporated. What we're doing here is something people can call revolutionary, impossible but for me I see it as the 'cure'. From these journals, I will be writing down our progress relating to Project Fallout as this project we're doing will take years until we finally perfected the 'cure' to rid the radiation that plagues our world.
          
          When EASE came to me, my life was gone when the war took away everything I know until they told me something, something I would tell you now, the chance to become a part of something. A family who can rebuild everything we have lost. To be honest, I didn't believe them, every company that would talk in this optimistic manner end up being frauds, criminals who only use people but when I joined them, they were not how people thought they were. They care for the people, they do everything to ensure we're safe, fed well and that our knowledge of the outside world isn't lost. From there on, I joined them so that I can help them achieve their vision, to bring the world back to how it used to be!
          
          This project will take years but I'm certain we will find a way to bring people back. The people that live Underground will never believe the life we have will never come back but I do.
          
          The project however isn't approved by the government, EASE never follows the rules so we decided to make our own path. We made ourselves an Underground facility where the project will be conducted as well as hide it from anyone that wishes to stop it or exploit it for their own purposes. Inside will have anything staff needs like food and water, comfortable beds and many labs to conduct our research and the creation of our 'cure'. 
          
          Well, that's all I can say, this is Elizabeth Palmer, signing off.
          
          UNDERGROUND goes online on November 3 2026
          The prologue and first three chapters will go online one week early on October 27.

A year ago, the world was in turmoil when countries around the world started fighting each other for control of power. This led to what is considered, The Great Nuclear War. A war that lasted for years, there was no peace, only fighting. It came to an end when our enemies decided to create a nuke to destroy us but we responded back by creating our own. When we thought creating those bombs could end the war, it only turned three quarters of the planet into a nuclear wasteland. 
          
          People who survived were forced to live Underground, creating their own civilisation, their own city, their own home as going outside is now dangerous, filled with radiation that plagues our Earth. Some cities are free from radiation but most of our planet is now radiation filled. 
          
          Yet even with people being able to create their new homes Underground, they all wish they can return to the outside world but they consider it impossible...
          
          WE DO NOT FIND IT IMPOSSIBLE!
          
          There is always hope we can return to the outside world and rebuild our lives, our planet. In order to do so, we must work and come together to help cure our planet and bring people back their freedom.
          Our goal is to work together as one family and find a way to get rid of the radiation that plagues our planet and to bring our people back. 
          
          We are not a religion (Hold Back!), we are not the Corrupted (AHHH!), we are not alone (RUN!)...
          We are a Family...
          We are EASE...
          
          EASE Incorporated, founded to rebuild our world and bring back our freedom.
          
          UNDERGROUND, an apocalyptic survival horror, releases on November 3 2026
          The prologue and its first three chapters releases on October 27, the week before release.
          
          But that's not all...
          
          On the beginning of May, I will be writing Doctor Palmer's Journal, an EASE employee, that will give you an idea on what's happening before story details are officially revealed. They will be on my conversation messages.

What an Easter week, gave me the perfect time to refresh myself, until today where I'm once again I'm tired. Regardless, I hope you all had a lovely Easter holiday and may it continue for the next week. I'm not sure how it works in other countries but it always brings out the best in all of us (and sometimes the worst). 
          Tomorrow will be Easter and I thought I should give you a small, little present...
          
          That present... is UNDERGROUND, my apocalyptic survival horror story. If you're interested in what it is, I would love to hear what you think the story might be. But revealing that title and the genre isn't the present...
          The REAL Easter Present is...
          
          Still a surprise because this story took three years of my life to develop and turn it into what it is now. Sorry for not giving you that present but to make you happy for once, the only thing I should say about this story is that it's about a group of people who ventures into something dark and mysterious yet one that brings them what they desire, wealth, a healthy lifestyle or freedom. But what most of the people in this group want is freedom and it's why they chose to do it. But what they discover down there goes from dark and mysterious into a dark nightmarish hell. There's always a saying regarding Heaven and Hell, with Heaven you want to stay there forever. With Hell, it's an eternal prison that you want to escape from but couldn't because instead of freedom, it's suffering. The characters starts from the start of Hell further into the screaming depths of Hell. 
          
          On the start of May, I will be releasing a short story that will be split into parts or episodes, giving you at least an idea of what UNDERGROUND truly is with the final parts of this short story giving you the answer on what this story is. Just to let you know, the short story will not be in the final draft.
          
          UNDERGROUND releases on November 3 2026

Hi Ishmael! I'm sorry but if you remember me, i'm from Slowly  (my username is iamparas) i'm sorry for not replying to your letter very soon (and ofc it's really late, a year, i'm sorry)
