Recent developments have made it clear that informal notes are no longer sufficient. I will be documenting all findings in a more permanent format though not as the sole record. Relying on a single point of truth is a mistake. I made that mistake once before. I won't make the same mistake again.

Going through the assets and data from my last data extraction op. The majority of it was damaged during my escape, but there might be something salvagable from the floppies.

The neighbors dog is becoming a growing concern, earlier I caught the mutt digging a hole under my fence. I ensured my neighbour was aware of the hazard his pet is causing, but he seemed rather unbothered by the prospect. Note to self, repair backyard fence.

There's more salvageable data here than I thought. Its going to take me awhile to pull what I can from it.

Managed to pull most of the data off the floppies. Most of its related to possible sightings or close calls, but I got a hit on one - 494710.41, 1120831.03. I'll need to see it in person.

I found it, I did a preliminary sweep: security is light, only two rotational guards and basic camera systems stationed at all entry points. Routine is predictable, staff clears out by 18:40, except the janitor who stays until 21:25, exiting via side door on the east side. Building goes dark after that, but the power draw doesnt drop. Something is still syphoning power, will need a closer look.

On the drive back last night I thought I was being followed. They came out of no where, an old red pick up truck, flashing its headlights while tailgating me. I was certain they had caught on. So I prepared for contact and pulled over. The driver exited and as they approached, reflex took over. Training I havent used in years at least not like that. I put them on the ground before I even knew what was happening. My gun drawn, pressed into there chest. Then the screaming started. That s when I realized they were just four teenagers. Not at all what I expected. All of them screaming apologies for messing around. I released the driver immediately. Didnt say anything and drove off. Need to be more careful.

Went and did some light ground recon during open hours. Spent most of the time at the front desk, asking the Librarian on duty questions, she answered most of them but when I started asking about where the basement door is, she showed genuine confusion. She insisted that there was no basement. I believe her, or at least I believe she believes it.

Need to tighten things up. Got back late. Too late. My Neighbor was out front letting there dog outside to do its business and caught me coming home. Asked where I went so late in the night. I lied. Said I was out stargazing. They bought it, I think. Still asked to many questions for my liking. Cant let it happen again. Patterns get noticed long before anything else does. Ill adjust the route next time. Different entry, different exit. Keep it clean.

My Neighbours dog entered the yard again. Damaged part of the garden. Nearly got into the Cicuta patch. Unacceptable. Informed my Neighbour but they just laughed and dismissed the concern. People tend to do that when they dont understand what theyre looking at. I Issued a formal warning to stay off my property.

The Black 1978 Chevy camaro payed another visit to Ms.OLrallys, vehicle remained in said location for approximately 10 hours, no individuals seen exiting or entering the vehicle. Vehicle had direct line of sight to my property. Coincidence?

Tonight has to be the night, Ive postponed this long enough and if I wait any longer it may be too late.

Entry went clean. No changes to the protocol. Either they havent noticed... or they have and they're letting it happen. Not sure which one I prefer. Inside matched expectations, mostly dead storage. Still managed to pull a handful of files. Even managed to snap a few pictures of the corridors underneath.

Cross analysis of the recovered archive files has revealed another clustering event. Five disappearances across three separate states over a four month span. Different victims. Different circumstances. Same reporting inconsistencies. Missing time. Witness contradiction. Sealed follow up reports. Its accelerating.

The more I compare these cases against the older records the more obvious it becomes. They arent random incidents. They never were. They are patterns. Geographical overlaps, Reoccurring witness statements and Similar environmental conditions. All of it, Its almost as if its spreading.

Came across a potential new contact via conspiracy theory message boards. Originally I just dismissed the posts as another made up story until they started mentioning specific stuff. Stuff I know for a fact that the public are not aware of.
Log #026 - 06/19/96
I watched two men enter Ms.OLrallys home earlier this afternoon carrying clipboards and measuring equipment. One of them kept looking over toward my property between conversations. Could be unrelated. Could also be an excuse to survey the area without raising alarms.

Doc asked if Ive been sleeping. I lied. The truth is, rest is not a luxury I can afford. Not with whats going on out there.
Log #030 - 07/02//96
New Contact intrigues me. At first I assumed they were just another delusional crank on the message boards looking for attention. But they know their shit, details that never became public knowledge. Specific file numbers. Recovery dates. Locations that were scrubbed years ago. Either this is legitimate... or this is an extremely elaborate setup. Need to tread lightly here.
Log #031 - 07/09/96
The Camaro was back again today. Different position this time. Closer. I watched the driver exit the vehicle, the same guy that was here last time holding the clip board, only this time he was carrying a leather case. But I swear as he walked, he looked right at me.
Log #031 - 07/17/96
Sometimes I wonder if Doc is really looking out for me, he wants to put me on some meds, something called clozapine. Yeah, thats the last thing I need. Being drugged.
Log #032 - 07/24/96
I bit the bullet and asked my potential New Contact for proof. Physical evidence. I expected excuses, deflection and silence. But to my shock, they actually agreed almost immediately. Just to be safe I gave them one of my alias postal box addresses.

The package arrived this morning. No return address. Inside was a photograph, a cassette tape and a single page torn from what appears to be an internal report. The report mentions a recovery team entering a structure beneath a school in Montana sometime in 1981. The photograph however is what really caught my attention.
Log #033 - 08/04/96
I cant stop looking at the photograph. The interior corridor, concrete walls and the overhead piping layout. It all matches, the stuctural layout of it all almost exactly matches the photographs I took of my data extraction op. Only this must be of a different location.

Ive identified another possible site. Abandoned municipal records building approximately forty miles east of Blackridge County. Power consumption records dont match the structure's supposed abandonment date. Same discrepancy pattern as the last site.

The buzzing sound wont go away. No matter how hard I try to drown it out, its always there constantly buzzing. I feel like Im loosing my mind.
Log #041 - 09/14/96
I have isolated the buzzing sound to the walls of my upstairs. I tested my theory by shutting the power supply off to my entire house, when theres no power the buzzing stops. Oddly enough the buzzing sound is not as stong as it is upstairs. when power is running.

I have sucessfully manipulated my breaker to run all the electricity to my basement, which I have subsequently reworked into my main base of operations. This is a calculated measure to ensure the security of my work, easier to keep away from prying eyes.

The neighbour's dog is becoming a growing nuisance. Earlier this morning I caught it nosing around near the basement window. I confronted the neighbour about keeping the mutt restrained to his own property. I think he finally got it, judging from expression when he opened the door to see me holding the dumb animal by his copious amounts of fat. Note to self, really need to reinforce that fence.

I cant fucking believe this. The bastard in the black Camaro is parked in my driveway right now. Literally as I'm typing this. Not across the street. Not lurking outside Ms. OLrally's place pretending to mind his own business. MY DRIVEWAY! Just sitting there watching.
I knew it would escalate eventually. People like them always push a little further each time just to see how much youve noticed. How much youre willing to tolerate before you break.
Well congratulations. Message received.
Hes still out there right now. Hasn't even bothered getting out yet. Probably planning his next move. Probably thinks I'll just sit here and let him keep circling closer and closer to the house. No. I think its finally time we have ourselves a formal introduction.
