Upstairs. Away from everyone. Worrying, by myself. I'm feeling a little better, but that's the only good thing that's happened recently. What was going on when I ended the last entry ... oh, that was before Carmen's 'attack'. That was scary. Apparently being held in a Dzodestran military laboratory for most of your life doesn't leave you equipped to respond appropriately to unwanted flirting from a guy like Shade. I don't even know what he said to her, but she just started screaming at him and then there was this ugly red and black energy crawling all over her and then it just ... spiked out. It's lucky Shade already got away because he could've ended up impaled, she cut some pretty deep gouges in the floor and the ceiling and everything else near her. The Force and Motoplasm got on top of things quickly, of course. Harmony too. I have to admit that I thought she was kind of, well, wet and soppy and touchy-feely but actually she's pretty great in a crisis situation. I was reprimanding Morgan for his bullying when the whole Carmen thing happened, but I didn't do much more than stare while The Force blocked Carmen's aura spikes and Motoplasm talked her down, I guess he might've 'cooled her blood' too? Maybe? Maybe not, he's pretty good just at talking even without his power. I'm not entirely sure what Harmony did, but she had her hand on The Force's arm and her eyes closed, I think that maybe she was sharing her awareness of the room with him so he could more effectively block Carmen's spikes with his force fields.
Anyway, eventually Carmen calmed down and kind of collapsed sobbing, which is about the point I realised that I was shaking. Like, really badly. I think her discharge of energy might have affected me. Anyway, after Harmony made sure Carmen was okay she brought me up here—apparently I'm not allowed any more pills even if I wanted them. No explanation given. No explanation asked for.

The view isn't as good on this floor. The windows are smaller, and they face out onto other buildings. And it's cold.
At least I can see properly now. Did I mention that? My vision started going all weird. Not just my vision either, my hearing and sense of smell and sense of taste and sense of touch, everything...
...
I don't think I have any powers right now. I can't create force fields, anyway. I should be able to, it's only ten minutes since I came up here. What is going ON with me?
...
I don't think I have anything more to say.
...
Just waiting.
...
And worrying.
...
And hoping.
...
...
...
That's weird, what was that? Maybe I

Adventures on Patriam: Wolves and Men
Alyx never thought he’d find himself in his current situation. Surrounded by a forest of unique but seemingly familiar trees, the world he’d been transported to was much different from the one he’d come from. It had seemed like such a normal day when he’d passed away, nothing could have foretold that he would end up bleeding out with a stake through his heart. But here he was in a brand new world. A quick conversation with something akin to a god would lead him on a path that would see him etch his name into the history books of this strange world. Ahead of him laid a realm totally unfamiliar, containing magic, intrigue, politics and racial divide. A world in which struggle and loss were not strange abstract ideas but rather, everyday experiences that people had to deal with.

During his journey, he will come face to face with both enemies and friends alike. Friendships will be made and tested, sacrifices will be made, and the line between good and evil will be blurred. In his new life, Alyx will find himself torn between the many paths he could follow, because in order to break the cycle in Patriam… You need not change the world for the better.
