He's considering. Don't like it. Don't want him against me.
Her I can deal with. I've put it off long enough now. She's getting shiftier.
Don't like it. The two of them could take me out. Pretty sure on that. Just a
matter of going first. Don't think they have the stomach to kill. Never thought
I did, either. But here I am. Can't have Tina around much longer. She's been
leaving when she thinks I'm asleep. Think she's looking for something to help.
One of the medallions, probably. She gets one, that could end everything. Don't
like it.

I'm a fool. An even bigger fool than I thought. Apparently,
I'm feeding Julia's delusion now. I didn't see it until after the fact, but
that's exactly what I did this morning. Probably means I'm falling into it
right alongside her.
I was starting to feel guilty about how well she was taking
care of me. It's not like I ever did anything for her. Not once since I found
her, in fact. So I made sure I was up before she was, which wasn't an easy thing
to do in the first place, and I made breakfast. Or I tried to. I burned the
canned ham right down to the center. Yeah, not just the outside. All the way
through. I guess there aren't any smoke alarms in these trailers. But I made up
for it. The frozen hash browns didn't even get cooked all the way through. So I
guess that balances it all out.
I was going to throw it out, but that's when Julia walked
in. Trust me, I could tell that she wasn't thrilled about the whole thing, but
she smiled and sat down. I tried to give her as little as possible, but she
just kept asking for more until she had a good, full serving in front of her.
And she ate it and said how wonderful it was, even as we both struggled to
choke it down.
I don't know. We have enough food to not worry about it
running out. It's all frozen or canned, so it won't spoil. There's no logical
reason for her to have eaten it. But she did.

I did it. I finally found another medallion. It was right
over by the wall. I was worried about setting off the alarms and giving myself
away, but I've been looking for almost a week, now, and this was the first one
I'd found. I don't know if they just shut the alarms off or if this spot is
somehow unprotected or what. If it was, it could be a way out. Not going to
risk that, though. It's pretty clear I'm supposed to stay put.
I haven't even gone back to the house yet. I need to wait a
little bit and get my head clear. I tested out the medallion, and just having
it scares me. All I saw was this ball of gold. It was shimmering like a really
hot fire, and it went far enough that I didn't see it fizzle out. Maybe it even
hit the wall. I don't know. But it was fast and hot and it's only been a couple
minutes and it's already ready to go again.
I found the mother lode. As in winning might actually be
possible

Brother,
The reports about the CESUs we made for The Park have caught
my eye. Enough that I'm emailing you directly. I don't want word of this to get
out. It's very sensitive and could be very bad for both of us if the
information ever got out.
One of the CESUs that my people made, the lab techs started
calling it the 'golden gun.' It's a thermal weapon. They designed it to be a
secret weapon, the kind of thing that would make someone almost invulnerable. A
potential range of miles and enough heat to kill on contact. The timing unit
they installed is incredibly fast as well. Less than two minutes before it can
be fired again. It's quite a long time, but not compared to the potential
destructive capacity
I think we have to cut it. It's bad enough that we know that
one can be made. I'm in full support of this program of yours, but with this, I
fear that
Her I can deal with. I've put it off long enough now. She's getting shiftier.
