The outsider

EPISODE 10- THE WATCHER

in which i speak of some strange happenings that have occurred in the past few days

something strange has been going on is the last few days, i have noticed a prisoner who doesn't seem familiar to me. he has been walking around the compound alot, it looks like he is trying to memorize locations, i also heard of a prisoner that was found in one of the high-security wings two days ago, that may have been him. i'm curious, i have never seen him before in my time as a captive, where did he come from? why is he here? what is he looking for?

TO: Victor ************(one of the scientists working on project endgame)

SUBJECT: Project Endgame

we have had some difficulty in training the Alpha to take out live targets, he seems to still have some traces of compassion in him. i propose that we choose some of the prisoners at random for him to fight, thus giving him a reason for killing them, this will then get him used to killing live targets and also prepare him to face targets face to face in combat. if he does not survive then we will concentrate all our resources on finding a subject for project Bravo.

Someone's curious.............

EPISODE 9- THE COLD

in which i speak of the coming winter

the last few days have been hard on the prisoners, because winter is approaching quickly, i have concerns of my own about whether we will be able to support a large group in the mountains if all of us escape, but i am sure that we will  find a way to survive. we cannot stay here much longer, me or the other prisoners who have not turned because of the presence of the Alpha, every day that i stay here increases my chances of capture, especially since i started sneaking into offices to see what they are planning, it is vital to know what they plan to do but at the same time it becomes more and more dangerous, also i found this document in an office just the other day.

TO: Robert ******** (head of security)

SUBJECT: Unsupervised prisoners

yesterday i found one of the prisoners in a high-security research wing, he claimed to be on an errand but he seemed nervous, as if he actually had no right to be there. i am very concerned, as he may have got a glimpse of Project Endgame. i expect you to ensure greater security around that area from now on.

EPISODE 8- THE HUNT

in which i speak of the escape of the siblings of my fellow outlaw

last night i managed to make contact with the siblings and then we proceeded to make our escape from the compound virtually undetected. however before we were gone twenty minutes the Alpha must have noticed that some captives were gone and started on our trail, i think that if they had not neglected his training in such matters like tracking people and following a trail, we would have been captured in less than an hour. but no matter how neglected his training may have been he was still gaining on us, and i feared that our escape may have been for nothing when i saw a small stream leading into a crevasse in the rock, and i remembered a small stream leading into the very cave that my fellow outlaw and i had been hiding in up to this point. we took a chance and preparing ourselves for the cold of the water we plunged into the stream and followed it to the camp. i believe that the Alpha, not realizing that the water flowed into the rock, unsuccessfully hunted for a few more hours then returned to the compound.

And then there were four..........

EPISODE 7- THE RENDEZVOUS

in which i plan about getting some of the children out

i am going to the compound tonight, i plan to help the siblings of my fellow to escape on their own and join their brother in the mountains. i do this because i am planning on a mass breakout of all the non-broken older captives in a couple days, and i do not want repercussions on the children that have not turned. [sigh] they are so young to be going through such hardship, i suppose i myself am not that old but still, i cannot let any of them be hurt like i was, i must find a way to reverse the effects of the indoctrination and to free them before they can be permanently scarred by the things they may be forced to do.

                      Message from the head scientist at the prison to his leader [unknown name]

TO:******* *******

SUBJECT: Project Endgame

The Alpha's training is proceeding well, we will soon be ready to send him out into the mountain.

There are a few concerns that he will not be able to overcome his friendship with the targets, but i think that unlikely, in any event we have decided to start testing the remaining prisoners to find a subject for our new modifications that should eliminate all hesitation in obeying orders. when we have decided on a subject he will be codenamed Bravo.

EPISODE 6-ASSASSIN

in which i explain about my plan to break the majority of the older captives free

the last week has been most stressful, as i have been working on a plan to get most of the older prisoners out of their bonds and into the mountains, this plan has been made difficult by the turncoat that i spoke of earlier. a couple days ago i managed to sneak into the office of one of the higher ranking terrorists and i discovered that he has been under their control for longer than expected, also in addition to the regular training that the prisoners get, he has also been given hand-to-hand combat training, training on how to use a gun and many more deadly skills. the most troubling thing that i found is that they may have physically altered him, using the same techniques that they plan to use on the children when they turn them into assassins. i am hoping to get out of here in a couple days, but i must use all of my training and stealth abilities to not get caught, i fear that even if we escape into the mountains he may hunt and find us. i suspect that even if we manage to elude the terrorists, we may not be able to escape him.

TO: Steven *******

Subject: Project Endgame

steven, i'm sending you this to let you know that project endgame is going well, we have had a few minor setbacks regarding escaped prisoners, but i have every confidence that they will be caught. we finally had a test subject survive the augmentation process and as long as he seems to respond well to his new abilities, we plan on sending him out to hunt the escaped prisoners. he will now be codenamed Alpha.

EPISODE 5- THE TURNCOAT

in which i make a discovery about one of the captives

tonight i am going to sneak out of the prison with the younger outlaw while the guards are distracted by the rest of the prisoners playing their usual night game. i am anxious to be away from the prison because while i was doing some scouting around the solitary confinement cells last night i recognized one of the captives in a meeting with some of the higher ranking terrorists. i fear that one of the captives has turned completely and will now most likely be willing to hunt after us in the mountains, up until this point they did not want to spare men and resources to find us just in case we tried to cause havoc back at the prison while they were gone. even worse i used to know this captive and he may be able to recognize and reveal me if he has the chance, i knew him well once..... i know that of all the captives i fear him hunting me the most, he is relentless, i know that he chase me and kill me if he has the chance. i must be very careful tonight, he cannot get even a trace of my presence before i leave.

EPISODE 4- THE PLAYGROUND

in which i infiltrate the group of older captives

three day ago i snuck into the group of older prisoners without the guards knowing of it, i plan to stay here for a couple more days until i can retrieve the younger brother of my fellow outlaw from the solitary confinement that he is in as a result of disobeying his captors. while i was here we were taken to a outdoor facility that had a playground of sorts near it, and we were instructed as to the way that we are going to use it. we then proceeded to play a game, involving one person using only his hearing and sense of direction to find the rest of us on the playground. i have found that many of the captives have given in to the captors and as a result the game was full of betrayal and backstabbing, some prisoners think that if they do well that they will be rewarded and put in a better position than the other captives. my hope for rescuing every one of the prisoners is fading, i will try to rescue some of them but only if i can be sure that they have not given in to the indoctrination.
