I'm exhausted but exhilarated at the same time, it's such a weird feeling, almost like nausea but a good kind of nausea.
Most important and exciting thing first: there's a huge facility hidden in this forest. Well I guess TECHNICALLY it's not hidden, maybe secluded would be a better term for it. It's at the end of the road, unbelievably close to the clearing where I arrived, just around ten minutes walk I'm guessing. I've been sitting here in a tree on a kind of rise in the forest for the last few hours, resting and observing. There are patrols here, but apparently they've never heard of looking up, and none of them have come near my tree anyway. Mostly they stay near the facility, or further out in the forest. I'm sleepy, but at the same time TOTALLY pumped up. The excitement of anticipation fills me, because I'm going to infiltrate that facility. It has to be the evil headquarters for everything that's going on here. The answers I need are inside, and all I have to do is go grab them.
Before that, though, I need a plan. I have to be realistic about this; I am a single unpowered girl, and although I've recently discovered that I'm neither slow nor weak, I still can't expect to just walk into that place without getting discovered and captured and then ... well, it's best not to think about that sort of thing. Fighting isn't an option either. I've seen eleven guards and they all have guns.
I should write this down, anyway, I'm still auto-uploading all my journal entries to the local repository. A description of the facility might be useful, and it's good to get a solid visualisation of the place.

It's big. Flat, but wide. Mostly white, some black, no obvious external windows. The trees around the facility grow higher than the roof, because it's in a slight 'dip' in the land, the surrounding forest rather hilly. There are also trees growing on the roof, carefully groomed to match the height of the trees surrounding. From the air, it wouldn't be noticed. That has to be deliberate. Someone wants to keep this place hidden. There's some kind of dome on the roof, in the middle, I think it's the kind that hides and protects a transmitting tower. If there is a transmitting tower under there it's really small, it can't be more than ten metres high even if it starts at ground level. There are several dozen trucks parked outside the facility, all of them painted forest green, all of them with the sleek blue corporate logo for "NeoTerra Corporation" on the side.
NeoTerra. That sounds familiar, don't they make food? Replicated food? Yes, yes of course, "Eaten today? Thank NeoTerra Corporation!", what are they doing here, hiding in this forest, brainwashing the students of a local school? And why keep the corporate branding, isn't that a little obvious? Unless NeoTerra is just doing the catering for this facility—no, don't be ridiculous Charlotte. Maybe it was too much trouble to get the trucks repainted. Maybe they just didn't think anyone would find them here. Or I guess they could just be stolen? In any case, it doesn't matter. All I have to think about.

For the age of darkness has long since pases and the age of fire is coming to a close. But as the age dies a new one must be born. ( the idea is that this story will be told from the perspectives of the bad guys. Their motives ,objectives, rise to power, struggles and what they want to achieve. But yes they are the ‘bad guys’ of the story it’s also probably important to note that for the time being it’s going to be written on my phone then edit later when I have the time and feel like it but you should probably think of whats here as a draft until further notice. )
