Personal Log Entries for Kolesar - uploaded via remote uplink to the TechHaven Network
Notes: This is my personal account of my last few weeks following my departure from the Dome. They are my own ramblings and I appologise for any bad spelling/grammer
Day - 1
I have decided to leave the dome and the current anarchy that is raging throughout Neocron and the Dome
of York. Since the forced removal from our home at Tech Haven and the dark and cold surroundings I find
myself in while writing these personal logs, I feel as though I can no longer live amongst some of the
worst people on the planet. I am surrounded by drug-dealers, pimps and other evil people and I do not
feel safe to walk the grim looking streets of the Dome.
So later today I am handing in my notice to Phoenix, who have employed me over the last few years
following my transfer from Next Systems. Maybe I should never have left the safe feeling of living
inside Neocron, but I cannot dwell on the past. I cannot transfer back due to the recent company
alliances that have formed.
I will need to gather my essential possessions, Silent Hunter, Stealth Device, Hacktool and basic
rations to help me survive the long trek beyond the wastelands.. Where I am going I do not know, maybe
there is another city far beyond the confines of the current explored region, maybe there is a way off
the planet. I have heard rumours and talk about distant systems, but as with everything the information
is soon quashed by the forces that lead the two cities.
Day - 2
I have said my goodbyes to as many of my fellow Fallen Angels as I could. It has been a sad day but I
cannot go back on my decision. If I don't go I will never be able to make the break...
Day - 3
This is it, I am leaving my appartment for the last time. Logging off... the rest of my logs will be
done via my personal data recorder.
It is now the end of day 3 and I am far from the Dome, after navigating around a lot of ferocious
monsters I have made camp in a small cave. From here I can see the towers of the Dome in the far
distance
Day - 4 - 10
Nothing much happened over the last few days, I have managed to cross the large desert which surrounds
the Dome, navigate around a mountain range and strangely, the environment is changing. Gone are a lot
of the large monsters that populated the areas around the Dome. Maybe they are drawn towards the
populated regions for food and out here there is nothing for them.
My rations are running out I will have to find something that I can eat and drink. Now I have passed
the mountain range I am finding a lot more fresh water and vegetation, I feel more alive, maybe the
radiation effects are less out here or something.
Day 14
I have found an abandoned camp, someone has been this way before and not too long ago. I have decided
to set-up here for a few days as the area is abundant with small animals and there are a lot of fruit
in a nearby copse of trees. There is also a large lake which has been very handy.
One thing has started to happen though, I have been experiencing strange flashbacks. These started
yesterday and I cannot make out what is happening within them. Maybe it was something I ate a few days
ago. I still have a few drugs that I brought with me, so I will take one tonight and see if I get a
better sleep...
Day 16
These flashbacks are getting worse, I have decided to stay put at this camp as I am not sure what is
happening. They are more vivid and last longer now. I seem to exist in these dreams as a strange human,
who has powers similar to a psi-monk. Around me are other alien races... but the dreams are not lasting
long enough for me to establish what they mean.
Day 20
The dreams continue, getting gradually stronger all the time, I will have to leave this camp as I can
feel myself getting weaker. I will have to head back to a remote outpost and find a doctor or medic. I
need help!
The dreams are very vivid now; the aliens in the dream are other races; orcs, elves, barbarians and we
all seem to exist in a large city called Qeynos. Everything appears very peaceful, completely different
to my physical life, but it is draining my energy. I do not know why these dreams are happening...
Day 22
I have had to stop again, I feel so weak. Again the visions dominate my sleep. I have not slept
properly for days now. My thoughts are cloudy, I cannot concentrate. I can see a large building in the
distance, hopefully it is an outpost of the Dome. Let's hope a friendly clan is occupying it and not
one loyal to Neocron.
Day 25
There is a large gap in my log, I can see that from the current day it is displaying. I cannot remember
how I got here, but I appear to be safe inside a building. I am hooked up to a strange machine, let's
hope the people here are friendly. I still have my log and items, except for my gun.
I do feel a lot better, the dreams seem to be subsiding and I have managed to eat and drink today. I'd
better put my log away as I hear someone coming.
Day 26
What a recovery! I have slept very well for the last 2 nights and I do not appear to have any lasting
damage. The people here are not from the Dome or Neocron. They do not say much about who they are or
what they are but they have seen many people suffer in the same way I have.
There analysis has been going on for a while, they seem to think that a chemical agent is added to the
water inside the cities of Neocron and the Dome which all people become somehow addicted to. After a
certain length of time without the agent the person becomes disorientated and has these visions.
Eventually without treatment the person will die, but by drinking the affected water the person does
regain their health.
They would not explain anything else to me and said I could leave tomorrow. I am not allowed to explore
the place I am in, I am only allowed inside this medical complex.
I'd better have a good nights sleep and prepare for my journey tomorrow. What shall I do? Do I head
back to the Dome, seek refuge somewhere or try and gain entry into Neocron? But I know one thing I
cannot leave, there is no way I can survive without the chemical agent and the people here do not fully
understand how it works.
Day 27
I am due to leave this afternoon, I have decided to head back to the Dome and try and find out how this
chemical agent work and seek out the reason why it is used.
They have returned all my belongings, but have warned me that I will be taken out of here drugged and
in a secured vehicle as they do not want to reveal the location of this outpost.
They say the drugs wear out after a couple of hours and they have provided me with plenty of rations to
last on my journey back to the Dome.
Well this will be my last entry until I get back to the Dome, lets hope I still have my appartment....
