WEEK 1
The long night has come. We are alone in this building and we are not allowed to go outside.
I know we are not in danger, we are safe inside and we have lots of food. But I still feel anxious...
What if something goes wrong? What if one of us gets sick or is injured? I'm not sure the clones would help us... They could even poison us just to watch how we react...
I must be careful. This is a test after all. And what a test! Twenty weeks in isolation, with people we barely know...
I can't carry out my orders on my own.
This past week I observed everyone else. Most of them won't last a month in these conditions. They are too soft, were never ready for something like this. Thank you father for all your teachings.
I should be able to trust Clara, she's a comrade! I think we can work together. Maybe she can convince her teammates Whetu and Barkhado to join my plan, but I must be careful... There's bad blood between the Somali girl and the Ethiopian, Mekdem. If I work with her, he's gonna be my enemy... a powerful enemy...
Sun Li is also a comrade, but there's something else about him... I don't understand him yet. Is he one of us or is he just pretending? And what about Kumiko? Can I approach her? She and Sun Li move together, act together. You can't work with one without also working with the other. If I can trust him, I can trust her.
Marina, Paaye and Nanda have already started moving... being friendly with everyone... what is their goal? They make a good team. I must keep an eye on them.
And what about him?
Should I be afraid of Junior?
Lwazi is useless, but will do whatever he says.
Father always said never trust an American. And father is always right.
Junior saved my life, but it could be a lie. He could have known all along. They could have done it just to get him close to me and eliminate me without drawing attention...
Which is exactly what I'm expected to do.
