DAY 1
Dear Blish,
I'm recording this for posterity. If I die in here, at least my thought will live on, free from the chains of a corrupt system! But I'm getting ahead of myself...
Kidnapped by someone I considered a friend. Some I.. no, it's too much to think about. And now I'm the one behind bars. If there's justice in this world, it's sorely lacking in...wherever I am...
It's lonely here. The commander's out cold. And the guards seem irritated by my questions. So I decided to write to the one person I could always talk to. Just wish you were really here. You always knew what to do.

DAY 3
Dear Blish,
The commander's still holding on. Today the guards brought in some bizarre device. It seems to be aiding the recovery process. I think you'd find it as fascinating as I do. It emits a green light. Strange, but oddly captivating. I'm writing this entry under its eerie glow. I asked the guards about it, but they weren't too keen on chatting. I'll try to get more out of them tomorrow.

DAY 7
Dear Blish,
I'm starting to lose it! I swear the walls are closing in! Don't know how much more I can take of this isolation. Treated worse than an ant searching for a spare crumb or scrap of—
Ooooh, lunch is here! Smells delicious. Oh, and they gave me extra fruit on my dessert today! I
always like the little flower they put on the serving tray. It's a sweet personal touch.
Will write again soon, if I'm not too weak and malnourished to hold my pen.

DAY 9
Dear Blish,
You don't think Taimi's mad at me, do you? At least, not that mad. Not if she's too busy being worried about me...
But that means I'm making her worry. Somehow that feels worse than making her mad.

DAY ???
Dear Blish,
The guards said the commander's condition is improving. Still unconscious, though. This will sound silly, but sometimes, when no one else is here, I chat with the commander. I know it's one-sided, but in a way that makes saying what I really want to easier.
I think having the commander as a friend is good for me. Since we started working together, I've felt a little braver. More confident & comfortable. I haven't felt like that since...well, since you were around. I said all this last night in one of our "little chats." I'm glad the commander won't ever know how sappy I sounded. I'd be so embarrassed!
Missing everyone extra hard tonight. Especially you.
