Introductions

Joe Miller
Three weeks has past. I have been sleeping poorly in my bed. It's all these "presences" I keep sensing. Anna is not well either, she has become more silent and she does not laugh that often. All charges have been lifted, now that Anna has returned. She said "a bad man kidnapped me" and described Weasel. Good girl.

I do not wish to return to my job, not that I am missed there, now that I have a new mission: to make things straight, to gather more information about the Objects and the Event and to, if we came to that result it is best, return the Objects in the Room.

I say "we". I have a new trusted group with me now. It did not take long to find these people. Anna's great grandfather Michael Monroe is a millionaire and he has resources. He has lived long, and when I came to realize he had one of the Objects in his possession, the Camera, I knew what I needed to do.

He and his bodyguard, Brock Storm, joined my cause with eager. Apparently Mr. Monroe has been collecting antiques quite awhile now and needed a little something more to maintain interest. He is in good shape and bright as a light bulb still, even though he has lived quite a long time. He owns several businesses, among them the company that built Sunshine motel... what are the odds!


In this new founded cabal we also have few other interesting members. Leah Maddoc. Her parents were preachers, but she later became skeptic, do not know if about religion, but she founded a skeptic society and traveled around USA trying to explain paranormal phenomena in scientific perspective. She is a valuable asset, knowing so much about religion and paranormal phenomena.

Then we have Jimmy Spencer... what can you say? He is the stealthy, lock picking kind. Ex convict. Tried to steal the Camera from Michael's residence... did not obviously know how heavy that thing is. Not sure if he can be trusted. All what I heard about the thing why Michael recommended him, is the thing he now knows about the Objects and he knows Kreutzfeld. He never was found in the Rooms, nor were the Objects there. All I can think is he got somehow in a parallel universe or something.. or he has managed to escape back in this. They sure claim he has been in his office when you call there, sometimes you can even hear his voice in the background.

I am going to send my team to investigate, as soon as they are ready. All this is pretty overwhelming to take in. Well for most of them. The last fellow in the group is Jacob Erez. He is supposed to be some kind of scientist... a mad one would come to mind at first glance, though. But appearances can be deceiving. If I believed in fate, I'd say he was made to help me in this endeavor. He possesses some kind of mystic power to obtain information about every-day items merely by touching it. He was actually the one, who made Leah convinced paranormal phenomena exist.


---------------------------------------------------------------
Eight weeks has past now. Anna is with her mother, and it is best that way. Vanessa keeps asking me to visit, because Anna misses me. I can not tell her the reason I can not go. Can not sleep at all out there. Been living inside the Room and wishing the television worked. Michael has been converting an old bunker in Nevada to act as our new base and research facility. It is ready soon and the team can start working. I told him to build only one hinged door that leads nowhere, all the others are to be sliding. Just in case they loose the key.

I never again needed the Key to enter the Room... it is not over, so I keep tumbling in Room 10 if I do not concentrate where I am going. Brock will be holding the Key, as being ex-wrestler he has the stamina and appearance to hold from malicious attempts to get the Key. He looks after the old man as if he was his father. No better guardian than Brock.

I introduced the people to each other today. They will have a fully equipped laboratory and every other facility they might need. After giving them the Key, Mike's people will seal the ground-entry with concrete. I am convinced this team can achieve The Goal.


-------------------------------------------------------------
Two days later.
Something terrible has happened! My beloved Anna! It is almost as if the universe does not want to leave her out of this! I blame myself too. It was only few minutes. I had finally answered Vanessa's calls and went to see my daughter. She wanted to come with me, and since Vanessa had no objections, so was done. We were at Jennifer's having dinner, and Anna excused early. I had no objection getting few moments alone with Jennifer... I never should have left Anna from my sight! Suddenly we heard a little hiss first, and then a rattling voice of a man welcomed all children to listen Uncle Sam's bedtime story. We rose up exactly the same moment, rushed to living room, where Anna sat in front of the Radio. She turned towards us and we saw her grown, two inches... and she had breasts!! What could have I done!! I got angry at Jennifer keeping the radio, and she replied in equal tone something about forgetting in all of the excitement. After rushing out from there with Anna I had no other place to take her than to the complex.

Leah Maddoc
I have been talking to Anna about "female necessities" and taking her to bra-shopping. Joe does not seem to be able think such a things without getting his ears burning red. The team has been exploring the Room 10 contents and Jacob has got some interesting results by reading the Objects. We all agreed, though, that no demolition in the Room will be done, no screwing bulbs loose or removing the sink, until we know more about the mechanics. What if the sink was part of the Room and taking it down would break the Room out of existence? No, we can not afford that. So far it's just doing research on the stuff you can move without tools.

This is what we learnt about the Objects in the Room 10:

Blanket
Jacob carried the blanket out room and whoosh, the blanket covered him instantly like inside a cocoon. We tried to free him from it, but failed, so we had to help him jump back in the Room, where it just slide off. Mike figured perhaps it was similar thing like the bus ticked, that it required touching skin, and he was right. Putting the blanket in plastic bag, or using gloves made it possible to carry around and throw over somebody.

Bed sheet no 1
Jacob got flashes of heat and lust from the sheet, and suddenly Joe's face in the middle of it! He thanked Joe from ruining the past events from the memory of the items. Outside of the Room the sheet suddenly started to glow and images run across the surface. We spread the sheet and noticed it behaved as if it was some kind of a silver screen, showing a clip of the Conroy experiment!! That made us all very perplexed. In order to be scientific we compared the sheet film to the clip Joe had from the janitor guy. It stunned us even more, in the bed sheet the Occupant's face did not belong to Eddie, it belong to Joe!!

Bed sheet no 2
Jacob did not pick anything from the bed sheet out room, which puzzled him quite a lot. Mike then rationalized perhaps it had to be combined with other items, or used in a way it normally would be used. So we took it in the dormitory and made a bed with it. Everyone hesitated, so I volunteered to lie on it. Suddenly everyone's face turned weird, and I jumped up. "what, what??!!" I jelled fearing I had turned into a frog or something. Mike told me I had vanished. Few tests later we found out the first person lying down on the sheet made her vanish, without the next one being able to see, hear or touch her. That thing worked only when put around a mattress, though

Extra pillow no 1
Jacob got a terrible flash of a bleeding face dying when he touched the pillow in the Room.
That got us a little auspicious, but more testing needed to be done, so we were really careful. Outside the Room Jacob told he now gets weird urge to put the pillow on his face and go diving in the toilet basin. We all laughed, but he was serious. So we filled up a bathtub and Jacob stepped in, holding the pillow above water. Nothing happened. He still wanted to dive in with the pillow, although I told him I did not think the pillow should be made wet. He did anyways -men!

Well, I was wrong this time. He was actually able to breath through the pillow!! And the pillow did not even get wet! He said the air tasted chlorine, but was otherwise breathable. After a long testing with mass-spectrometer and other gadgets the guys came into the conclusion the pillow disintegrates water in molecular level. The other end sucks the liquid in and pushes all other components through, except for Hydrogen. That also explains the red face Jacob saw earlier; the guy must have tried to breath through the pillow using the wrong end, and ended up his blood sucked in. Eew what a way to die.

Extra pillow no 2
Jacob got nothing from the pillow in room, but outside it begun feeling warm. He said it felt odd, as he usually got flashes of images or moods touching items. I took the pillow from him, and it indeed was warm! I think it was Brock, who came up with the idea about the pillow gaining the heat from us. So soon enough we had a lighter under the pillow... everyone just felt funny about burning a pillow... but quickly the pillow gained heat so much I had to let go of it. Brock brought some ice in order to cool the pillow down, but it just melted them all. Joe threw the pillow in the Room 10 and reset it. Mike's only comment was: "good thing we did not put rugs in here yet".

So much for the "scientific approach"

Pillow on bed no 1
Jacob did not bother scanning the pillow in room, as he had got so many flashes of Jennifer's bare buttocks on the sheets already. Joe seems to blush up to his earlobes every time Jacob mentions the latest grand event the bed sheets remember.
Jacob said the pillow did not send him any wibes. So we figured it must be used on a bed too, like the bed sheet. So he threw it on the bed and BANG!! The whole bed acted as if a heavy item had been thrown on it and it broke down, totally. Everybody just stood in awe. Jacob said it did not feel that heavy, and so I lifted the pillow up. It seems, like the scissors which rotate things, the pillow mashes things.

Correction: after further research we noticed it was actually the pillow cover, which mashes things. we forgot to take that off from the pillow.

The PILLOW, however seems to be off virgin nature, as it was it Jacob held on when testing it earlier. Jacob said it "graves for the knife and the lighter" so we assume it is dormant alone.

Pillow case no 2
After removing the pillow from the case Jacob tested the case. "You put things in it" he said. "Like my soap wrapper??" asked Brock. (Brock has an Object, the soap wrapper, which grants him unlimited regeneration of one item he can fit inside the loop) "No", said Jacob, "You put in things you never want to see again". "Quite handy as a waste basket" pondered Mike to that

Pillow on bed no 2
Jacob felt wanting to sleep touching the pillow, so we all went -again- in the dormitory. He put the pillow on the bed and lied down. We all waited eagerly to learn what would happen next. Jacob opened his eye and said: "-really guys, I can not sleep you staring at me". So we set up some surveillance cameras and went upstairs to supervise. It took ages for him to fall asleep, but instantly as he did a hollow image of him rose above the bed and landed on floor, looking it's hands, puzzled. We all ran in the bedroom, but there was Jacob, alone sleeping. Jimmy yelled from the observation room "he is still there as an image" Mike went to Jacob and tried to wake him up. He did. Jacob said he had left his body and was trying to speak to us and touch us. He could see and hear us quite well. Weird he was visible in the camera!!!
