WEBVTT
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:20.239
Hey there.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.879
This is Jaran.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.640
I'm the facility manager at the Deep Earth Anomaly Department.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.320
Located on the coastal strip in East Antarctica.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.200
I'm um signing in for yet another cold shift.
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:48.640
So I worked up some courage and I I installed a CCTV down in the basement to keep an eye on the red door.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.200
Maybe not courage is the right word.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.920
I I I was so scared when I did it, I forgot to turn it on.
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.399
So we had to go back down and actually turn it on.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.560
I swear I I worked faster than Joshua's faster than light travel device.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.879
Or the Galactic Obeyer.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.000
Or the Go sometimes.
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.640
So far though, there has been no movement, um at least that I know of.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:30.640
You know, I I haven't been looking at the camera, at the screen, every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, but when I have, the door has been closed.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.879
Which is good.
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:45.040
I also didn't think to install a microphone, so I have no idea if the hammering on the door has stopped the it might be going on still.
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.439
Or it might have stopped, you know, I don't know.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.359
But then again, if a tree falls over in the woods and all that, you know.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.000
I might have a microphone to spare actually.
00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:58.959
Somewhere.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.519
So I think that's my next task.
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.240
I just have to conjure up more courage to do so, which might take a while.
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.759
I also locked the door down to the basement and I installed uh four new padlocks on it.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.360
You know, we can't be sure enough in this case.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:28.879
So, at the moment there are two beings living on each of our sides of a set of doors that cannot be opened from the opposite side.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.439
It's like the Cold War of the Equator back in the day.
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:48.719
However, unlike the Cold War of the Equator, I do not have thermonuclear warheads tucked away, ready to fire at the drop of a hat, and I genuinely hope that whatever is behind the red door, it doesn't have one either.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.879
That would be um not good.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:01.199
So yeah, that's um the status of the whole ordeal, and I hope there will be no development anytime soon.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.479
Or that Thomas Green gets back on track soon, as as I reckon he is equipped by experience to deal with it.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:18.879
You know, as I've said before, when I first met him, actually met him, the the door, the red door was wide open, so he probably has got an idea of what's behind it.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.439
But uh yeah, there's no no time to dwell.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.919
You know, let's get onto the matter at hand.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:36.400
Because blip and blop, the tiny alien entities came by, they swooped in through my window as I sat listening to the sirens the other night.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.639
I've become rather good at resisting the urge to follow them, you know.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.400
The the sirens that is.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.439
They have great voices, but not as great as the blizzard is deadly.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.280
Know what I mean?
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.719
So yeah, blip and blop came by in their tiny disc.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.199
They landed on my shelf next to all my books and stepped out of the craft.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:10.639
It genuinely, genuinely looks like two dinner plates on top of each other, you know, a classic UFO, like the ones I read about as a child.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.639
So they stepped out and they had a look around, talking a bit amongst themselves, then sneezed at me, you know, that's how we say hello.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.800
So I sneezed back before they asked if I had time for a quick word.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.000
You know, I explained to them that I'll always have time for my favourite aliens.
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.040
So what's up?
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:29.920
I asked.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.319
Except space, of course, I said.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:43.920
Threw in a little joke there, but uh they didn't laugh at all, so they just said, All the stars have gone, Blip told me.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
No stars in the sky, Blop told me.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.240
When I say told, um no sound waves were exchanged.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.879
Uh it all happens telepathically with them, you know.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.600
So no sound waves, kinetic waves, rather.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.480
I can't really hear them, I just pick up what they communitate uh communicate.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.600
It's it's it's weird, but for simplicity's sake, I'll say said.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.319
Okay.
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.360
So they they said all the stars have gone, they said.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.439
Care to speculate with us?
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.600
They both asked at the same time.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.000
About the stars?
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.279
I asked.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.480
And where they have gone, they replied.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.839
What do you mean when you say gone?
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.480
I asked.
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.199
No, are there no more stars in the sky?
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.480
To which they replied Trillions.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.560
Just not ours.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.920
But where has it gone?
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.120
I asked.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.879
Then they gave me a look that felt more lethal than their beam guns.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.720
So I said, let's speculate, I said, before they got more annoyed.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:06:02.959
So I I did some speculation on the matter, and my first guess was, you know, that there is a blizzard outside, making visibility well, not visible.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.800
But then Blob said, We fly above blizzards.
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.480
Of course I said, you know, I know this, they do.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.639
They have a flying saucer, you know, and a blizzard does not reach space.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.759
That would be spectacular.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.120
You know, a space blizzard, imagine that.
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:34.560
But anyway, I I I speculated some more and then I said maybe a small dark cloud, perhaps, like a like a small miniature version of the Oort cloud covering it.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.639
Light pollution maybe.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.720
At this point I was pulling things out of a bottomless hat.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.879
Figuratively speaking, of course, I I had no hat.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.759
Nope, they said we measured the infrared signature.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.360
They said there's no signs of anything covering anything.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:59.600
Also, there are no light to pollute anything, you know, only two major cities have lights left, they said.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.399
Which is, to be honest, good news.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.560
Well then, I said, you know, I don't know, have you had any contact with your your kind?
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.000
I asked.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.279
Not for a week, they said, but signals take eight days and fifty-four hours to reach, so.
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.839
To which I said, you know, well, let's wait for one day and fifty-four hours then, you know, then we touch base again after that.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.279
Sounds good.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.120
But they didn't reply, they they and they looked slightly troubled.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:45.759
At least I think they did, you know, I didn't notice their troubled look until after I found out that the stars uh are missing, so it might be in my mind playing tricks.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.040
But either way, I I assured them and told them that everything is probably just fine.
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.360
Let's not jump to conclusions be have we before we have all the facts, you know.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.519
And until then it's it's just a good old mystery, I said.
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.319
I like mysteries, I said.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.279
Indeed, I said.
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.839
A good old mystery indeed, Blip said.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.639
Indeed, indeed, indeed, Blopp said.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.879
Indeed in greed we bleed, I said.
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:27.920
They then started walking towards their UFO, which really is an IFO, an identified flying object, at least for me.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:37.919
But I I stopped them, I said, now that I have you here, I asked I I have to ask you, seeing as you are a set of two sets of eyes and ears to the outside world.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:48.080
And I I told him that I've been seeing this slender figure standing outside the main entrance door, you know, too, tall, steady, and unbothered by the blizzard.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.240
Many have warned me about it, I told them and or him or her, you know.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.039
So I asked him, Did you know of what I speak?
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.840
This is the same entity that Joshua also saw and dreamt of.
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:09.679
And the reason why I asked Blip and Blop about this is because I heard knocking on my bedroom window yesterday, waking me up.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.759
At first I thought it was Thomas Kind, you know, or Joshua, you know, perhaps he had come back.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.240
So I got up and looked out the window, but the blizzard was way too thick to see anything.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:30.080
Anything except like bony fingers with nails chewed down to the root, tapping on a window.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.600
So I closed the curtains.
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.960
I mean, what else could I do?
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.360
But yeah, I I asked Blip and Blop about it.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.879
You know, perhaps they had seen it and knew what it was.
00:09:45.440 --> 00:10:08.720
But as I asked them, however, they were fighting their attention because there was a fly landing next to their craft, and to them this must have been an apex predator because Blop drew a gun, shot the thing down with a laser ray, and they then chopped the fly up into pieces, packed it up and beamed it into their crafts.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.919
Then they turned their attention to me.
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.039
And Blip said it's not a man, nor a woman, Blop said.
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.200
Nor a human at all.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.559
The form you see, they told me, is a construct made entirely by your brain.
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.639
To make sense of something senseless, Blip said.
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:32.799
What?
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.080
I said.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.399
A shaitan, they said together.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.039
I repeated myself.
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:41.919
A what?
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.879
A shaitan, they said.
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.159
You know, a demon, a devil.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.080
Everybody talks about the devil, and I told them this.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.519
Everybody talks about the devil.
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.639
I mean the the word is inflated by now, I said.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:04.639
Well, Blip said, prepare your deflated inflatable to yet again be inflated.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:13.919
Then they got into their IFO and foxtrot oxforded off, as they say in the army.
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.919
Or said, you know, there no more armies left, really.
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:26.240
But but yeah, you know, there are so many half-truths going on, so much stuff is always left hanging.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.879
You know, everyone everybody's being so cryptic.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.200
Why?
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.480
Why are they being so cryptic?
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.000
You know, just before leaving, they say something cryptic, they leave.
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.639
It's very unpractical.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:46.639
I mean it gives me no chance at all to figure out anything before I'm faced with whatever it is I wanted to figure out before figuring it out.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:55.279
But yeah, I I I guess if it were life and death, blip and blop would have told me.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.440
And seeing as they don't, it's not about life and death, so I'm okay.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.399
I also forgot to ask them about their investigation into the red finger beam.
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.519
I I don't think they suspect me yet.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.039
I wonder what they would do if if they did.
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.720
But yeah.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:28.720
I hope the entity found knocking on my window to be a fruitless endeavor and uh not an act that it will repeat every day.
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:34.559
I mean, I do need my sleep if I'm able to do my job as a facility manager properly.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:40.879
And also, if if this entity was able to come inside the facility, it would have done so by now.
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.759
Which means that I must be safe as long as I stay inside.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.879
You know, maybe it's one of those vampire things where you have to invite it in for it to be able to enter.
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.120
Thomas said, don't let it in.
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.480
You know.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:13.519
And if I were to let it in, I would need to see some proper credentials to have my safety ensured, you know, a written contract, perhaps, saying that you know that if I'm harmed, I'm allowed to haunt it for eternity.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.720
You know.
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.879
Maybe that's what happened.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:30.159
Maybe the entity used to be a facility manager once, let something from the outside in, had it signed a contract, had that contract breached, and is now haunting this facility for all eternity.
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.360
Who am I to say?
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.639
Or it could be a demon.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:38.639
You know.
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.360
Or I have misjudged the sirens.
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.240
Perhaps the entity is the sirens, you know, maybe he's a or she, or it is one hell of a tenor.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.600
Singing like a angel.
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.799
Looks like a hound, sings like an angel.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.000
You know, who am I to judge a book by its cover?
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:08.000
The Deep Earth Anomaly Department looks like a 400-year-old tin can left out in the rain, so it's still a paradise on the inside, you know.
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.399
So I'm I'm I'm keeping my options open.
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.679
Anyway.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.600
I wrote a song the other day, a new one.
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.159
I I I I think I'll play it for you.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.080
I think I'll do that.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.039
Right.
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.039
Goes like this.
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.960
Made to make people fall in love, out of reach fully inside.
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.720
Moonlight come, break away.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:02.399
Can you see the stars above on sunny days?
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.000
Point is I don't know what you say.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.679
Moonlight come break away.
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:17.519
I will climb the highest hill on rainy days.
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.960
Let me know I'm on my way.
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:27.679
Yeah.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.480
That's at least some of it.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.200
So yeah.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:54.000
I think that's a nice way to end the day, and uh you know, perhaps before I'll go to bed I'll be able why it's from uh it's from Alexander Voss.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.159
El capitaine on board uh MS Wallbach.
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.519
Whew! Man, that that's uh uh the that's a weight off my shoulder, you know.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:09.279
Any longer I categorize myself as a bodybuilder, you know, biggest shoulders on earth.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.440
Ah that was that was nice.
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.240
Let's see.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.639
Okay, so this says all signals were lost.
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.559
Fact also a fact.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.679
It's hard repairing an electronic device fused to a desk.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.919
I bet it is.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.639
But not impossible.
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.200
Luckily, time is a luxury I do possess.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I do need your help on a rather pressing matter.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:50.720
Seeing as the blizzard is acting up, I know this might be a risk, and I would not ask if it weren't of great importance.
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.799
You wouldn't by any chance have a case of dynamite in your possession, would you?
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:02.320
Your friend Alexander Voss.
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:19.920
Hmm You know the the funny thing is um I just might however that will require a sound mind.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:25.920
And a sound mind is a mind who just woke up for from eight hours of sleep.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:31.279
I wouldn't want to handle a explosives.
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.960
Uh tired.
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:39.680
So I think that's where I'll put my mind right now.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.519
I'm in a state of slumber.
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.720
So yeah.
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.160
This is Jan.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.640
I'm signing off yet another cold shift.
00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:20.239
Hey there.
00:00:21.440 --> 00:00:22.879
This is Jaran.
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:28.640
I'm the facility manager at the Deep Earth Anomaly Department.
00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:32.320
Located on the coastal strip in East Antarctica.
00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:37.200
I'm um signing in for yet another cold shift.
00:00:39.359 --> 00:00:48.640
So I worked up some courage and I I installed a CCTV down in the basement to keep an eye on the red door.
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:53.200
Maybe not courage is the right word.
00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.920
I I I was so scared when I did it, I forgot to turn it on.
00:00:59.200 --> 00:01:02.399
So we had to go back down and actually turn it on.
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:08.560
I swear I I worked faster than Joshua's faster than light travel device.
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:10.879
Or the Galactic Obeyer.
00:01:11.760 --> 00:01:14.000
Or the Go sometimes.
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:20.640
So far though, there has been no movement, um at least that I know of.
00:01:20.799 --> 00:01:30.640
You know, I I haven't been looking at the camera, at the screen, every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day, but when I have, the door has been closed.
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:32.879
Which is good.
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:45.040
I also didn't think to install a microphone, so I have no idea if the hammering on the door has stopped the it might be going on still.
00:01:45.519 --> 00:01:47.439
Or it might have stopped, you know, I don't know.
00:01:47.680 --> 00:01:53.359
But then again, if a tree falls over in the woods and all that, you know.
00:01:55.599 --> 00:01:58.000
I might have a microphone to spare actually.
00:01:58.319 --> 00:01:58.959
Somewhere.
00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:01.519
So I think that's my next task.
00:02:02.079 --> 00:02:08.240
I just have to conjure up more courage to do so, which might take a while.
00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:15.759
I also locked the door down to the basement and I installed uh four new padlocks on it.
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:19.360
You know, we can't be sure enough in this case.
00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:28.879
So, at the moment there are two beings living on each of our sides of a set of doors that cannot be opened from the opposite side.
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:33.439
It's like the Cold War of the Equator back in the day.
00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:48.719
However, unlike the Cold War of the Equator, I do not have thermonuclear warheads tucked away, ready to fire at the drop of a hat, and I genuinely hope that whatever is behind the red door, it doesn't have one either.
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:52.879
That would be um not good.
00:02:54.479 --> 00:03:01.199
So yeah, that's um the status of the whole ordeal, and I hope there will be no development anytime soon.
00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:08.479
Or that Thomas Green gets back on track soon, as as I reckon he is equipped by experience to deal with it.
00:03:08.719 --> 00:03:18.879
You know, as I've said before, when I first met him, actually met him, the the door, the red door was wide open, so he probably has got an idea of what's behind it.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.439
But uh yeah, there's no no time to dwell.
00:03:23.520 --> 00:03:25.919
You know, let's get onto the matter at hand.
00:03:26.400 --> 00:03:36.400
Because blip and blop, the tiny alien entities came by, they swooped in through my window as I sat listening to the sirens the other night.
00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:42.639
I've become rather good at resisting the urge to follow them, you know.
00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:44.400
The the sirens that is.
00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:49.439
They have great voices, but not as great as the blizzard is deadly.
00:03:49.840 --> 00:03:51.280
Know what I mean?
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:56.719
So yeah, blip and blop came by in their tiny disc.
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:01.199
They landed on my shelf next to all my books and stepped out of the craft.
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:10.639
It genuinely, genuinely looks like two dinner plates on top of each other, you know, a classic UFO, like the ones I read about as a child.
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:18.639
So they stepped out and they had a look around, talking a bit amongst themselves, then sneezed at me, you know, that's how we say hello.
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:22.800
So I sneezed back before they asked if I had time for a quick word.
00:04:23.680 --> 00:04:28.000
You know, I explained to them that I'll always have time for my favourite aliens.
00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:29.040
So what's up?
00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:29.920
I asked.
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:32.319
Except space, of course, I said.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:43.920
Threw in a little joke there, but uh they didn't laugh at all, so they just said, All the stars have gone, Blip told me.
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.959
No stars in the sky, Blop told me.
00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.240
When I say told, um no sound waves were exchanged.
00:04:52.319 --> 00:04:54.879
Uh it all happens telepathically with them, you know.
00:04:55.360 --> 00:04:59.600
So no sound waves, kinetic waves, rather.
00:05:00.959 --> 00:05:04.480
I can't really hear them, I just pick up what they communitate uh communicate.
00:05:04.560 --> 00:05:09.600
It's it's it's weird, but for simplicity's sake, I'll say said.
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:10.319
Okay.
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.360
So they they said all the stars have gone, they said.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.439
Care to speculate with us?
00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:19.600
They both asked at the same time.
00:05:20.879 --> 00:05:22.000
About the stars?
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:23.279
I asked.
00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:26.480
And where they have gone, they replied.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:29.839
What do you mean when you say gone?
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:30.480
I asked.
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:33.199
No, are there no more stars in the sky?
00:05:33.839 --> 00:05:36.480
To which they replied Trillions.
00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:38.560
Just not ours.
00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:41.920
But where has it gone?
00:05:42.079 --> 00:05:43.120
I asked.
00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:48.879
Then they gave me a look that felt more lethal than their beam guns.
00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:52.720
So I said, let's speculate, I said, before they got more annoyed.
00:05:52.879 --> 00:06:02.959
So I I did some speculation on the matter, and my first guess was, you know, that there is a blizzard outside, making visibility well, not visible.
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:08.800
But then Blob said, We fly above blizzards.
00:06:10.079 --> 00:06:12.480
Of course I said, you know, I know this, they do.
00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.639
They have a flying saucer, you know, and a blizzard does not reach space.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:19.759
That would be spectacular.
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.120
You know, a space blizzard, imagine that.
00:06:24.160 --> 00:06:34.560
But anyway, I I I speculated some more and then I said maybe a small dark cloud, perhaps, like a like a small miniature version of the Oort cloud covering it.
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:36.639
Light pollution maybe.
00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:40.720
At this point I was pulling things out of a bottomless hat.
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.879
Figuratively speaking, of course, I I had no hat.
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.759
Nope, they said we measured the infrared signature.
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:53.360
They said there's no signs of anything covering anything.
00:06:53.839 --> 00:06:59.600
Also, there are no light to pollute anything, you know, only two major cities have lights left, they said.
00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:04.399
Which is, to be honest, good news.
00:07:05.360 --> 00:07:10.560
Well then, I said, you know, I don't know, have you had any contact with your your kind?
00:07:10.879 --> 00:07:12.000
I asked.
00:07:13.360 --> 00:07:19.279
Not for a week, they said, but signals take eight days and fifty-four hours to reach, so.
00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.839
To which I said, you know, well, let's wait for one day and fifty-four hours then, you know, then we touch base again after that.
00:07:28.160 --> 00:07:29.279
Sounds good.
00:07:31.519 --> 00:07:35.120
But they didn't reply, they they and they looked slightly troubled.
00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:45.759
At least I think they did, you know, I didn't notice their troubled look until after I found out that the stars uh are missing, so it might be in my mind playing tricks.
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:51.040
But either way, I I assured them and told them that everything is probably just fine.
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:55.360
Let's not jump to conclusions be have we before we have all the facts, you know.
00:07:55.680 --> 00:07:59.519
And until then it's it's just a good old mystery, I said.
00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:02.319
I like mysteries, I said.
00:08:04.079 --> 00:08:05.279
Indeed, I said.
00:08:05.439 --> 00:08:07.839
A good old mystery indeed, Blip said.
00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.639
Indeed, indeed, indeed, Blopp said.
00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.879
Indeed in greed we bleed, I said.
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:27.920
They then started walking towards their UFO, which really is an IFO, an identified flying object, at least for me.
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:37.919
But I I stopped them, I said, now that I have you here, I asked I I have to ask you, seeing as you are a set of two sets of eyes and ears to the outside world.
00:08:38.159 --> 00:08:48.080
And I I told him that I've been seeing this slender figure standing outside the main entrance door, you know, too, tall, steady, and unbothered by the blizzard.
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:54.240
Many have warned me about it, I told them and or him or her, you know.
00:08:54.559 --> 00:08:57.039
So I asked him, Did you know of what I speak?
00:08:57.600 --> 00:09:01.840
This is the same entity that Joshua also saw and dreamt of.
00:09:02.080 --> 00:09:09.679
And the reason why I asked Blip and Blop about this is because I heard knocking on my bedroom window yesterday, waking me up.
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:15.759
At first I thought it was Thomas Kind, you know, or Joshua, you know, perhaps he had come back.
00:09:16.080 --> 00:09:22.240
So I got up and looked out the window, but the blizzard was way too thick to see anything.
00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:30.080
Anything except like bony fingers with nails chewed down to the root, tapping on a window.
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.600
So I closed the curtains.
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:36.960
I mean, what else could I do?
00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:41.360
But yeah, I I asked Blip and Blop about it.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:44.879
You know, perhaps they had seen it and knew what it was.
00:09:45.440 --> 00:10:08.720
But as I asked them, however, they were fighting their attention because there was a fly landing next to their craft, and to them this must have been an apex predator because Blop drew a gun, shot the thing down with a laser ray, and they then chopped the fly up into pieces, packed it up and beamed it into their crafts.
00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.919
Then they turned their attention to me.
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:19.039
And Blip said it's not a man, nor a woman, Blop said.
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:21.200
Nor a human at all.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:26.559
The form you see, they told me, is a construct made entirely by your brain.
00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:30.639
To make sense of something senseless, Blip said.
00:10:32.320 --> 00:10:32.799
What?
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:34.080
I said.
00:10:35.279 --> 00:10:38.399
A shaitan, they said together.
00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.039
I repeated myself.
00:10:41.360 --> 00:10:41.919
A what?
00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:44.879
A shaitan, they said.
00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:48.159
You know, a demon, a devil.
00:10:49.759 --> 00:10:52.080
Everybody talks about the devil, and I told them this.
00:10:52.240 --> 00:10:53.519
Everybody talks about the devil.
00:10:53.679 --> 00:10:56.639
I mean the the word is inflated by now, I said.
00:10:57.679 --> 00:11:04.639
Well, Blip said, prepare your deflated inflatable to yet again be inflated.
00:11:06.559 --> 00:11:13.919
Then they got into their IFO and foxtrot oxforded off, as they say in the army.
00:11:14.559 --> 00:11:17.919
Or said, you know, there no more armies left, really.
00:11:20.080 --> 00:11:26.240
But but yeah, you know, there are so many half-truths going on, so much stuff is always left hanging.
00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.879
You know, everyone everybody's being so cryptic.
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:29.200
Why?
00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:30.480
Why are they being so cryptic?
00:11:30.559 --> 00:11:34.000
You know, just before leaving, they say something cryptic, they leave.
00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:36.639
It's very unpractical.
00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:46.639
I mean it gives me no chance at all to figure out anything before I'm faced with whatever it is I wanted to figure out before figuring it out.
00:11:49.919 --> 00:11:55.279
But yeah, I I I guess if it were life and death, blip and blop would have told me.
00:11:55.600 --> 00:12:01.440
And seeing as they don't, it's not about life and death, so I'm okay.
00:12:03.679 --> 00:12:08.399
I also forgot to ask them about their investigation into the red finger beam.
00:12:08.960 --> 00:12:11.519
I I don't think they suspect me yet.
00:12:12.639 --> 00:12:15.039
I wonder what they would do if if they did.
00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:18.720
But yeah.
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:28.720
I hope the entity found knocking on my window to be a fruitless endeavor and uh not an act that it will repeat every day.
00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:34.559
I mean, I do need my sleep if I'm able to do my job as a facility manager properly.
00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:40.879
And also, if if this entity was able to come inside the facility, it would have done so by now.
00:12:42.240 --> 00:12:45.759
Which means that I must be safe as long as I stay inside.
00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:52.879
You know, maybe it's one of those vampire things where you have to invite it in for it to be able to enter.
00:12:54.559 --> 00:12:57.120
Thomas said, don't let it in.
00:12:57.840 --> 00:12:58.480
You know.
00:12:59.919 --> 00:13:13.519
And if I were to let it in, I would need to see some proper credentials to have my safety ensured, you know, a written contract, perhaps, saying that you know that if I'm harmed, I'm allowed to haunt it for eternity.
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:14.720
You know.
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:16.879
Maybe that's what happened.
00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:30.159
Maybe the entity used to be a facility manager once, let something from the outside in, had it signed a contract, had that contract breached, and is now haunting this facility for all eternity.
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.360
Who am I to say?
00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:36.639
Or it could be a demon.
00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:38.639
You know.
00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:41.360
Or I have misjudged the sirens.
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.240
Perhaps the entity is the sirens, you know, maybe he's a or she, or it is one hell of a tenor.
00:13:49.120 --> 00:13:51.600
Singing like a angel.
00:13:52.480 --> 00:13:54.799
Looks like a hound, sings like an angel.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:58.000
You know, who am I to judge a book by its cover?
00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:08.000
The Deep Earth Anomaly Department looks like a 400-year-old tin can left out in the rain, so it's still a paradise on the inside, you know.
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.399
So I'm I'm I'm keeping my options open.
00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.679
Anyway.
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:19.600
I wrote a song the other day, a new one.
00:14:22.080 --> 00:14:24.159
I I I I think I'll play it for you.
00:14:25.200 --> 00:14:26.080
I think I'll do that.
00:14:32.240 --> 00:14:33.039
Right.
00:14:33.840 --> 00:14:35.039
Goes like this.
00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:50.960
Made to make people fall in love, out of reach fully inside.
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:56.720
Moonlight come, break away.
00:14:57.360 --> 00:15:02.399
Can you see the stars above on sunny days?
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:06.000
Point is I don't know what you say.
00:15:08.320 --> 00:15:11.679
Moonlight come break away.
00:15:12.320 --> 00:15:17.519
I will climb the highest hill on rainy days.
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:20.960
Let me know I'm on my way.
00:15:27.039 --> 00:15:27.679
Yeah.
00:15:30.159 --> 00:15:32.480
That's at least some of it.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.200
So yeah.
00:15:35.519 --> 00:15:54.000
I think that's a nice way to end the day, and uh you know, perhaps before I'll go to bed I'll be able why it's from uh it's from Alexander Voss.
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.159
El capitaine on board uh MS Wallbach.
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:03.519
Whew! Man, that that's uh uh the that's a weight off my shoulder, you know.
00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:09.279
Any longer I categorize myself as a bodybuilder, you know, biggest shoulders on earth.
00:16:09.600 --> 00:16:11.440
Ah that was that was nice.
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:12.240
Let's see.
00:16:12.960 --> 00:16:18.639
Okay, so this says all signals were lost.
00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.559
Fact also a fact.
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:27.679
It's hard repairing an electronic device fused to a desk.
00:16:28.720 --> 00:16:29.919
I bet it is.
00:16:30.879 --> 00:16:32.639
But not impossible.
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:37.200
Luckily, time is a luxury I do possess.
00:16:38.559 --> 00:16:42.159
I do need your help on a rather pressing matter.
00:16:42.480 --> 00:16:50.720
Seeing as the blizzard is acting up, I know this might be a risk, and I would not ask if it weren't of great importance.
00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:58.799
You wouldn't by any chance have a case of dynamite in your possession, would you?
00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:02.320
Your friend Alexander Voss.
00:17:06.079 --> 00:17:19.920
Hmm You know the the funny thing is um I just might however that will require a sound mind.
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:25.920
And a sound mind is a mind who just woke up for from eight hours of sleep.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:31.279
I wouldn't want to handle a explosives.
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:32.960
Uh tired.
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:39.680
So I think that's where I'll put my mind right now.
00:17:39.839 --> 00:17:41.519
I'm in a state of slumber.
00:17:44.000 --> 00:17:44.720
So yeah.
00:17:45.440 --> 00:17:46.160
This is Jan.
00:17:46.880 --> 00:17:50.640
I'm signing off yet another cold shift.
