293 I find myself standing in the middle of a vast beach, with sand dunes stretching great distances down the coastline and the green of tropical forest visible near the horizon. An uninformed man would think this place a paradise. I know better. Still, I cannot help but marvel at the island?s wholly unnatural beauty.
312 I met a group of three adventurers today. I thought that I had the island all to myself, and I was so surprised to hear human voices (with Brooklyn accents, no less!) outside my shelter that I knocked over a bamboo support and almost brought the roof down. The group is independent but they are after The Source, just like me. They were nice but I sensed a little bit of competitive tension in the air. They have been here for a month already and have barely penetrated the forest beyond the beach. I am glad to have met them but they pose no immediate threat to my mission. They are fine folks but my skills are far superior.\n
318 Today marks three consecutive days of rain. Last week was clear--the seas were calm and my carefully constructed shelter proved unnecessary. I am sitting in a small alcove at the base of a hollow tree as the sky dumps golf ball-sized raindrops into the forest around me. The beach is long behind me now and the sound of the ocean is just a memory.\n
320 This is a weird place. The oddities increase as I move closer to the center. Since entering the forest I have seen a few things I cannot explain. No matter, my mission is clear and success is guaranteed. I will sleep here tonight and then venture further towards the island?s center tomorrow.\n
343 I may have found a path into the forest. The grasslands stretch out ahead in what appears to be a small glade, but I think that beyond them the border of the forest will thin. If my calculations are correct, this side of the island should be shady most of the year, so I expect that the almost impenetrable forest vegetation will yield enough to permit traversal.\n
345 The adventuring party I met a few days ago has been here a month and has not yet figured this out. My intellect is truly superior--I can understand why Mr. Rokudou chose me for this mission. Once I find The Source and show him how to use it, he will surely make me his second-in-command, a position from which I shall have incredible influence. Just thinking about it makes me giddy. But I must not to get ahead of myself; the forest looms.\n
366 The adventurers I met are dead. I found them hanging from the trees near a rock formation in the forest. The discovery was startling and sad; though we were both competing for the same goal I felt a certain camaraderie with them. They were, of course, the only other humans on the island.\n
370 I will venture into the forest once more before entering the cave. At the adventurers? base camp I spied batteries and other useful electronic equipment, which I can surely modify. Once I have procured those items I shall return and make my descent.\n
405 I killed those adventurers. I killed them in their sleep and then hung them from the trees as if to convince myself that the island had somehow done away with them. It was grisly business, but necessary. I needed their supplies, especially the batteries and flashlights they brought. More importantly, against all odds they discovered the entrance to the cave. They must have blundered across it while awkwardly stumbling through the forest--their brains are too small to have calculated its location. The Source is too important to leave to such simpletons, and I couldn?t risk the possibility, no matter how remote, that they might find it first.\n
