I realize this will be an overused topic for many of you, but as I am still quite new to the city, I ask that you bear with me. I have recently been made aware of the presence of "reports" regarding experiments of light and darkness. I was wondering if any of you could tell me anything about them. You're welcome to be as scientific and specific as you'd like. I can handle it.

Thank you for your time.

Right, it's time to get serious. We're supposed to climb to the top of these floors I gather? How many have we found out so far? I've been to a few of them myself, but I can't say they're exactly the easiest to navigate through... and to top things off, it looks like most of 'em are in pieces.

I don't like all these little reports that keep showin' up, either. Rubs me the wrong way, and I don't just mean what it is they're talkin' about. Someone's plantin' 'em around for us... and I figure if we can track down the culprit, we'll be a step closer to gettin' ourselves back out into the fresh air again.

Enough of this playin' around.

WAKE UP TIME!

Do you know how good it feels to actually get a full week's rest? Why couldn't I have done this sooner? Oh yeah, the drums. They hang around, but now it's like a soothing sound. Could say I've grown to love them. HA! No nightmares, no waking to a cold sweat and a drum beat. I feel like I could eat three cows worth of meat, but I'm awake. If I were human, I'd do this all the time. Phew.

SO, what have I missed, eh?

Hello to all. My name is Helen Magnus, and I have to admit to being a relatively new arrival here. I’d like to know more about this place if anyone has any information they can give me. I’ve been able to find out very little on this city and I would like to know as much as possible. Also, if anyone has information on how we’ve come to be here or any history of the area, I would be very appreciative.

On a different subject, it has come to my attention that perhaps I ought to inquire about the medical situation. I would like to know what exactly that is and if there isn’t one, I’ll offer myself. I won’t be so arrogant as to simply list off everything I’ve done, but suffice to say that I can do anything anyone may need while we’re here.

If anyone has any questions for me or can offer the information I've requested, I would appreciate anything. Thank you.
