“(Heavy breathing) My name is Jane Em—“ [Crackle] “and if you’re hearing this… please… I beg you… help us. They brought us… here… but I, I… don’t know where here is. They told us that they were—” [Section missing] “…but they didn’t tell us why. Something about… I can’t remember. It didn’t make any sense. They said that we were chosen or something like that? They didn’t tell us what that meant or what we were chosen for. They rarely told us anything at all. We just… had to do what we were told to. But… but it doesn’t make sense. Ph—“ [Crackle] “did exactly what he was told to… but they just… they just let him die. It was so awful! They didn’t even try to help him. They had to have known what would happen somehow. Those bastards! They damn sure knew! They knew all of this was going to happen!!” [Pause] “Mom… for what its worth to you now… I’m so sorry. If I had known that it would have ever come to this, I… I would’ve… I…(Sobbing)… how could you do this to your own child, mother?”

“We were brought here in blindfolds and handcuffs. They didn’t speak at all until we arrived. I remember being out on an airplane and then a bus of some kind before finally arriving… here. Everyone is so scared. Well, almost everyone. It seems like ages ago when I first met Alyssa. She was so strong and refused to break down and cry. She said it would only give them the satisfaction they wanted, but I couldn’t keep myself from falling apart. We were all terrified, but not her.” [Pause] “Alyssa was part of the second group from our cell that was sent in to this… this place. I don’t even know how to describe it other than it looks like something left over from some type of an—“ [Section missing] “—ion. Despite how frightened I am, I can’t help but feel a sense of awe when I look at it. The architecture is like nothing I’ve ever seen. How could something like this exist un—“ [Crackle] “I told Alyssa that, but she was always so focused on our escape that she didn’t care much about my theories. The rest of us never felt like we had a chance, but she refused to give up though.” [Pause] ”God, I miss her so much.” [Pause] “When they came for her… I think we all knew what was about to happen… and we lost all hope. Still… there was a part of me that believed she would come back. I refused to believe that anything could stop Alyssa. She wasn’t a soldier, but she was just… I don’t know… different somehow than any of us. Phillip used to call her ‘Bitch on Earth’ because he thought that she was scarier than any kind of hell. (Laughs) And yet… she wound up disappearing too… like the rest.” [Pause] “The sounds… oh my God… those awful sounds and that blinding blue glow?? What was that?? Please be alright, Alyssa… please be alright…”

“I don’t know how this is legal. I thought there were rights to prevent this type of treatment to human beings?? That’s why I took this recorder. They would kill me if they knew I had it… but I don’t care. Any day now it will be my turn to go in… and then I’ll be dead anyway. Maybe that would be better than this. Whoever finds this… help us… [Crackle] They take new groups every night and then they never return. Wait… night? Maybe its day? I can’t even tell anymore…” [Pause] “If they come for me soon, I just hope this tape is found some day. Someone has to know about this and stop it from ever happening again! If we can’t be saved… then I hope our story can help to save the others like us. There’s just so much that I don’t know… or understand. I think that’s what is scaring me the most. What is happening to the others when they send us into that… that thing? Listen… Can you hear those screams…? (Crying) …are they real? I hear them inside my head all the time now. So much pain in those sounds…”

“Shit! Here they come!! They’re outside the door… I need to —“ [Crackle] “Wait… no way!?! Is that really… you??” [Crackle] “Aly—“ [Crackle] “(Screaming)” [Crackle][End]
