《>Input Log Dates》 Logdate: 745 XX98 Is... Is this thingon? Hopefully, this time it''ll work. My name is A3. I''ve come from Building Block K Around 3 or 4 cycles ago, Building Block K was terminated by the Mold.Unlawfully taken from Royal Road, this story should be reported if seen on Amazon. All levels reaching maximum corruption land all residents disposed of or Terminated. I am the sole survivor. I''ve been traveling on the outside thus far until I found this abandoned outpost. Potentially, over the course of the next few cycles, I''ll be able to recount what has happened. And continue my duties as a resident in this outpost. The power has already gone out for a full day. Hopefully, I''ll be able to record my knowledge on all that''s happened and get help. I just need this computer to work long enough until then. OP 274 Logdate: 747 XX98 Update: the retrieved server LogDates has been locked. The code is A1''s work. I will update on the status on decoding these files. Until then, I will give a status report on my current situation. Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. I am in a place dubbed "OutPost 274" I am not sure what era this outpost is from, but judging from the rations and the current version of the system, I believe it must be sometime during the pre-apartment. However that is just a blind guess. If I am correct, my location should be west of Building Block K. There is several rations and items left over from when this place was active. I throughly checked for any contamination spots. Thankfully, only minimal amounts are found in the corner of the storage. I will keep watch on the spots and will act if the contamination spreads. Nothing else to report. OP 274 Logdate: 748 XX98 Update: I can''t seem to get a dent in the lock. I''m not sure what the purpose of the lock is in the first place. But I digress. The rumbling started today. I must''ve miscalculated how much time I was outside but, as we all should know, this means a cycle is passing/passed. This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there. Due to how the entrance of this outpost is on the ceiling, there is not much I can do to barricade myself. Note: I am... Not used to being so closed to the rumbling. My location is heavily affected by the rumbling. The tremors are making this hard to write. I hope the door is able to stand all of this... OP 274 Logdate: 750 XX98 I don''t know how. I don''t know why. But I think someone is banging on the door. No... No I''m sure of it.If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it. I''m sure someone is banging on the door. I know that someone is out that fucking door! That doesn''t make sense. How is someone out here? What is out there? How the fuck is it so loud? Is it an actual person or am i just imagining things-I don''t fucking know anymore. It sounds so much like A4, I can''t deal with this. Why do they like banging so much. Is that door even going to keep hold? What if it doesnt-OH FUCK that was a loud bang. . . . I... Am terrified. OP 274 Logdate: 751 XX98 Update: I was able to crack into the files. But what came out was not how I expected. Only a handful of LogDates and Community logs was exposed but they were not arranged in chronological fashion. Some were dated back at the begining, most were in the middle however. Once again, I do not understand the purpose of this. I tried to vouch for A1 but I can''t wrap my head around why they decided to be criptic with the files. It''s almost like they were trying to hide them...Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. My stomach hurts thinking about that... ... I don''t know what happened during the end of the cycle. Something must''ve tripped a powerbox out there because by the time I came to, I was forced to sit in darkness for 2 whole days. Thankfully I saved my progress before then but the whole situation does not sit well with me. More specifically, I''m unsure if I want to know what caused the power outage. Maybe the rumbling was to harsh and knocked over a major PowerHouse? Or worse... Another building block was terminated. I remember talking to A1 and, though I can''t seem to remember now, they were adamant that our numbers are dwindling. If that''s the case, I''m not sure what I am to do... OP 274 Logdate: 752 XX98 Update: I''ve made more progress on the files. I was surprised once again when Logdates of other levels started to appear. A, B, C, D, I''ve gotten at least 1 file from each level. And the contents of which does not help my aching stomach. Logdate 478 from the B level said that multiple residents started to hear banging? Community log 64 from the D level stated that a resident was seen... Knocking on the other''s doors. The most concerning one was Community Log 34 from the C level. All the residents were talking about an appearnace of an [unknown entity] that looked to be hacking into their level''s server. The fact that A1 knew of all of this, yet failed to tell the rest of us, is what''s causing my stomach to hurt. Had they always have this much power? Is that the prize of being chosen as an A1? To have access on every single file in the apartment?The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. I want to say that I am surpised but I know I''d be lying to myself if I did. A1 was always the type to hide how much they know. ...... I know these LogDates are strictly meant to be reports but I can''t help but question what''s going on. Not to mention, it''s one of the few things I can do now... Sitting here in this outpost. All I have in here is a bed in the corner, this computer (which, mind you, has failed to save my progress twice this week), a waste bucket in the corner and the storage room. I''ve searched high and low for any signs of... keeping myself busy inbetween logdating and eating but there isn''t anything. Part of me is concerned that I''ll start to go mental without any sort of activity so here I am. May the Main Apartment forgive me for this. OP 274 Logdate: 753 XX98 Update: The more I find out, the more I feel the need to puke. A1 knew that all these residents, these people, were just expiring or being disposed of or terminated and they just... Said nothing. Wasn''t the A level''s goal to ensure the safety of the residents in the apartment? Shouldn''t we be allowed to know these things? The fact that people were expiring right beneath my feet is sickening. Sure, it''s protocol to not interact with the other levels... But how does that make sense anymore? Reading on this site? This novel is published elsewhere. Support the author by seeking out the original.why would they forbid us from interacting with each other yet our main goal, as As, is to ensure their safety? I''m... afraid to keep thinking. I''ve even been putting off writing this update because of how much thinking I''ve been doing. Cause the more I think, the more I find holes in the reality that I once knew! I''m not sure if my stomach will ever stop aching if i keep doing this, which I must. ... I think- no I''m sure of it. But that doesn''t make sense. Something just knocked over one of the empty rations. I''ll come back to finish my report when I figure it out. Something''s in the room with me. OP 274 Logdate: 754 XX98 Something... Has been getting into my rations. It can''t have been mold because it hasn''t stepped foot out of the storage. Hell, I don''t think it even moved since I''ve gotten here. Maybe even before then. I think... It might be those things A6 used to talk about all the time. Said something about how they used to watch them run about on the security footage. Even said how they were a pain in the ass because they''d get into everything. Apparently they had the habit of chewing through wires, which... is odd considering how long ago that was. I can''t believe I remember that even.A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation. I think they, A6, called them Critters? I''m not to sure... Is... Is this how you start to forget people...? I wasn''t even on the outside for too long, how would I have forgotten something A6 would be so passionate about so easily? Hell not just A6, even A4 was bursting at the seams whenever they spotted one during a ration run. It''s... been so long since I had to think about this. ... Or them... . . . well the only good thing that comes out of this is the fact that I''m not alone anymore. Heh... Would you look at that? I''m startin to sound like a mad man aren''t I? Catching feels over tiny little creatures... Guess it''s more comforting to know that i''m not the last thing alive. OP 274 Logdate: 753 XX98 Something... Has been getting into my rations.

OP 274 Logdate: 1 XX98 I think today''s the same day, and forgive me if so, the dating system of the computer is... off. By a good few cycles. I supposed it shouldn''t matter but I think i''ll refrain from including the date, not until I remember what the date actually is. another few rations were wasted today. About 3 cycles worth. I''m starting to feel like I should make some traps. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. If only I could remember what A4 used to do. You''d think that I''d remember something like that considering how close I was to them. note: I''ve stopped code working until the computer is better. I rather not have to lose my progress, not after how much I uncovered. Part of me is wondering if i should start shippuing these files to the main apartment but that''ll have to wait until the power is more stable. I swear if the power goes out one more time I''m gonna lose it. I never did like being in the dark. OP274 Logdate: 2 XX98 this stupid computer stopped working a g a i n. this time the shift and caps lock keys stopped working and so did the apostrophy. I guess i was so used to having an actual working fucking computer that this is pissing me off way more than i thought it shouldve. i can''t work under these conditions. hopefully, by the time i finally finsihed code working these stupid files. ill be able to get the next locations fo the building blocks. maybe theyll let me in. or at the very least give me something b etter to work on other than this clunky piece of shit. earlier today it completely erased all the work i was doing on the files. which, yknow, whatever. sometimes it happens. these outposts were never meant for usch heavy tech work anyway. but then it happened a 3rd time, then a 6th, and now im not even sure if this logdate will hold up now. i keep debating on restarting the computer in its entirety but im afraid that it wont turn on againThis tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it. im not sure which is worse working with a dying machine or being stuck with my own thoughts theres nothing else in this room to keep me sane after all. my whole routine has jsut been sleeping, eating, and coding. which makes my irritation towards all this worse! cause isnt that what my life was back in the building block? I didnt have a daily job like a2 or a6, i didn''t have anything to do,. hell that was whats expected of me as the disposer. why would they need me if everything ran smoothly right? I had the easy job of just sitting there doing nothing. and here i am doing nothing and it;s pissing me off. i need to do somethign t o keep sane for the sake of my building block i have to how else will a4 or 6 or everyone else be remembered if i go off the walls? come on 3 pull it together just take a deep breath. maybe i should just sleep this off until i feel better? yeah... i''ll just wait for that instead OP 247 Logdate: 3 XX98 these critters will be the end fo me i cant sleep properly anymore. have you ever stayed up due to noise? cause that has been me for the past few fUCKING DAYS NOW. ill just lie in bed listenignt to their little feet crawl up and down the concrete floor and they keep messing with shit i keep losing rations because they keep knocking it over youd think theyd care to perserve it considering how its keepiong all of us alive but no they rather throw the glass everywhere speaking of which, i had to build a glass pile in the corner of the room. made the mistake of not doing that and so now my foot is sort of bleeding? had a nasty piece of shard that i stepped in. thankfully there was a med kit from whoever was last in here so it was all bandaged but i need to figure out something for the critters. if i have to spend one more night (? day?) listening to their fucking scurrying im going to throw myself outside. im worried theyre going to start eating the wires to be honest i dont know whether the outside is a better place to be in right n ow or if i should stay in here. ill just have to wait till after i finish opening up the files the other locations got to be in the end right? it has to beStolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings. i don''t think i can handle it if its not op =============================== is it weird that feeling pain is giving me relief...? its almost like its a reminder that im still alive and living and breathing and conciouss is it so bad that i feel that way? maybe i am starting to lose it but the pain i feel in my foot is just comforting i think my brain is starting to melt from having nothing to do for so long. not to mention the fact thhat i cant tell time anymore. it could be days since m y last log date. or cycles. hell maybe even years! ill be honest, i dont know how long i was outside for. everything looked the same so who knows. maybe its been hours since i left the building block. or years. every so often ill find myself staring at the ceiling and wondering if time even passed. if anything im doing even mattered. each time the power goes out or my progress gets deleted on the files is another step closer to my mental break down i swear its like im stuck in a loop of doing the same things over and over and over and over and over and ovER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN was this why the outpost project failed? too many people off by themselves and talking to themselves into insanity? its been so long that ive talked to anyone that i started actually s a y i n g stuff to myself. all to convince myself that my voice, my vocal cords, are still working yet how do i even know if what i hear is what is true im just alone in a concrete box how am i going to continue everyones legacy if i end up insane... ... just got to finish off the files i have to finish off the files just finish decoding it and then ill leave. ill get to go outside again and find a new building block and then be able to make all this worth it. ill be able to make these cycles of being alone worth it i just got to keep calm. i just got to keep my mind straight please oh please me just... finsih quickly... op 247 Logdate: 4 XX98 im hearing banging again im writing this quickly before i head back into the storage room to wait it out. i dont know if this means that another cycle has started or ended but at this point i dont care i dont like the banging i. dont. like. the. banging. it keeps reminding me of a4 and how they were like before they-i-expired. well no they were disposed of right? is it bad that im starting to find more lapses in my memory? Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road. nevermind that im going to finish up this logdate quickly before i run away. ive piled as much of the furniture and boxes as i can find in the storage room so i can stay in there huddled and safe. ive lost more progress on the files. its like eveyr step i take i end up taking two steps back in retaliation. its so fucking frustrating and i swear if i ever see a1s face again im going to personally deliver a punch to them for making me go through this why. did. they. do. this. they wouldve had to know i needed to work through all of this crap. the moment they decided i was to one to leave is when they agreed to allow me to see the server files. those are the rules! why did they go through so much trouble to hide everything?! fucking a 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 Fuck it fuck this i''m going to go hide . . . . . someone please come and save me OP 274
