Hi. This already sounds pathetic.
*laughs*
Anyway, I'm sure you all have your own lives. Own troubles, own thoughts and
what not. And all of that could probably continue without my ramblings.
But there we go. I'm going to write them anyway.
Basics: My name is Kate. I'm 14. I live in London and go to a pretty decent
school. Raised a devout Christian, not so sure anymore. Bit geeky too, and I
don't like it much. Okay, very geeky. And more than a bit of a loner.
The other day though, about a week ago, there was this new guy on MSN. We
chatted. He seems interesting. Called himself AgentBlacke1, and he was really
nice to me. And I know everyone's always talking about being mistrustful of
strangers online, but he just seems so... trustworthy. I told him about my
not-so-devout faith and he said he knew how I felt. Said he'd tell me about a
religion he'd found - Mysterio or something like that. He made it sound really
nice.
Oh... got to go. Mum's yelling at me to get some homework done (ugh). Will
probably post again soonish.

The trip
Oct. 27th 2073
Oh yeah- forgot to mention. How could I? My history class is going
to see King George opening a museum next Monday. I probably won't actually get
to meet him, but, I dunno, the whole thing of seeing a monarch in person is
pretty cool. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't mind our kings and queens. Part
of our heritage- Britain... I don't know, it just wouldn't be the same without
them.
So, yeah. That should be fun.
Can't think of anything else to write, so I guess I'll sign off
now.

No subject

Hello. Me again.
Chatted to that AgentBlacke guy again. He showed me some more information about
the religion. Had to hide the whole thing from my family (they'd go berserk if
they knew), but it all looks pretty good to me. All about stopping the violence
of the human race. I like the ideas- there's way too much fighting in the world
at the moment. I know no-one's technically at war with anyone but Bereznia, but
in my area there's gang wars at night sometimes. People yelling and fighting. I
even heard a gun go off once.
Anyway, tomorrow's Saturday, so I'm planning on going to a meeting of that
religion thing. Blacke said he'd put in a good word- his name's Conrad, by the
way. He said he'd send me the place and time in an e-mail... which I think just
arrived. Going to check it out.

The meeting
Oct. 30th 2073
The meeting was… odd. As I walked in,
this huge deep voice was going on about how they would use the child’s dream to
destroy a heritage and have its revenge. It scared me, I admit, but Conrad said
it was just a joke, though no-one was laughing. Actually, they all seemed
freakily quiet. Almost as though they had no emotion. And every so often, it was
like there was a flash of green. It could just have been dodgy lighting, but I
don't know...
My curiosity is piqued. If for no other reason, I’m going back tomorrow to find
out more.

It's Monday
afternoon, November the 1st, and this is Michelle Rhodes, reporting for the BBC
at the newly-opened royal museum, where a terrorist attack nearly claimed the
lives of King George and his associates only an hour ago. Behind me, as you can
see, is where the suicide bomber attacked. A statement by Spectrum has confirmed
the attacker to be the clone of a schoolgirl supposed to be visiting the
museum's grand opening this morning. A search has been launched, although the
girl is reportedly unlikely to be found alive. A spectrum officer was killed and
three security guards were wounded when the clone, reportedly working for
terrorist group the Mysterons, exploded outside the museum in an attempt on King
George's life. The King himself is said to be shocked, but unharmed.
More on this
story later- back to you in the studio.
