Lucas' room is masked in a wild assortment of papers and sticky notes. Together these sheets comprise a diary, and their wildly scattered form speaks volumes about the nature of their owner. The messages, varying from recounts of the past to physical descriptions to introspective curiosities, seem to have been scrawled in whatever media was handy at the time, as though the writer feared he may forget the information if he did not record it immediately upon conceiving it.

A series of Post-It notes offer a description of their writer's person.

A small, spiral-bound notebook marks an early effort to keep a legitimate journal. The cover and pages are weathered and the words within are faded. It appears to be many, many years old.

The ealiest pages are so worn it is difficult to make out what they say. The script is childish in its execution.


> they said i need a pokemon in order to be in galactic. don't know why. don't even know why i'm in galactic to tell the truth. but here i am. they said i'll be assigned my 'partner' tomorrow. i hope it's something cool at least
> it's a CHINGLING!! what's with this cutesy thing??? it's all grays and blues with little teardrop marks and it acts so gloomy it's probably a reject or something. since i'm a trainee i got one of the leftovers or something. it's so depressing to look at
> i called the chingling merry haha. would be nice if she could act a little more like her namesake. i don't wanna be here as much as she doesn't
> i don't think merry was a reject after all. she knows how to use hypnosis. someone told me chingling can only know that through heritage

> i keep blacking out at weird times and waking up in other places. i wonder if i'm sick???
> merry is using hypnosis on me or something to put me to sleep. she's stupid i wish she would leave me alone.
> it's not hypnosis after all. morrison said i was wide awake all day even though i know i passed out right before the training exercise

> i finished training today!! tomorrow i'm moving to the grunt quarters. SO EXCITED!!!
> going on my first mission as a GALACTIC GRUNT tomorrow!! i don't know if i can sleep tonight
> i don't remember the mission at all but everyone is congratulating me. WHAT IS GOING ON??

As the notebook continues, the paper becomes less delicate and the words more defined. Messages recorded in pencil are challenging to read, but it is not an impossible feat.


> morrison keeps talking about getting out. i didn't think that was an option.
> i blacked out when i went shopping earlier today. i was buying a sweater. i came to back in my room, and there was a gun in my bag. why would i buy this??
> MERRY EVOLVED!!!! she's a chimecho now!! she's still awfully cutesy though
> blacked out on another mission. this happens more and more often.
> WHAT HAPPENED WHAT THE HECK
> freaked out big time. woke up in the infirmary with my face bandaged to all hell. people are saying i made a stupid mistake. i have no idea what they're talking about.
> i'm finally back on active duty tomorrow. the doctors said there's no loss of depth perception but i can't actually see anything. i wish i knew how it happened.
> merry's started acting so gentle towards me, so protective. i don't think i treat her any differently than when i received her before so it's weird. i wonder if it has to do with what happened to my eye

A second notebook is tied to the back of the first to accomodate all of the information the writer wished the record. Judging by its condition, the amendment is a fairly recent addition, having been added perhaps five years prior. The handwriting is more polished and refined but retains a messy, rushed quality.


> morrison and i became agents today as a commendation for our work in the last mission and in all missions before it. i told morrison i can't even remember what our missions were. he called me a lucky b*****d
> i was thinking about what morrison said before. i AM a lucky b*****d. i have no idea what kinds of things i'm doing on these missions but i still get all the benefits
> i was thinking today and merry and i get on a lot better than we used to. elissa says that's what happens when you spend a long time with a pokemon. i went on a pokemon adventure when i was 10 and i didn't feel that way at all towards my piplup.
> was getting briefed on tomorrow's mission. usually i black out right beforehand but i heard some of it this time. the last thing i remember before waking up in the hall was the word 'assassination.' i asked morrison about it and he looked at me like i was crazy.


> morrison's been acting weird lately. i think he has a thing for elissa. need to step up the pace before he beats me to the punch
> i can't find morrison anywhere. he was with me before we left for the mission. merry keeps giving me this sad look. i'm kind of worried.
> elissa won't talk to me anymore
> morrison is dead
> someone said i killed morrison
> elissa's being transferred. she won't say where.
> i think i killed morrison
> they're promoting me to elite
> i killed morrison.
> elissa is gone

The remainder of the notebook is empty.

A number of papers, strewn across the room, detail a more recent part of the writer's life if gathered.


> woke up on this boat. it's dark. night??
> arceus this ship is destined for KODO!!! did i leave galactic? what's going on???
> found a note in my pocket: i won't remember this when i wake up, but there was a mutiny. i'm on this boat so i wouldn't get caught up in the mess. there was a huge falling out in the base and my rank will make it difficult to go back now. i should keep on towards wherever this boat is headed and forget i was ever a part of galactic what the heck i don't even remember writing this!!
> galactic's going to find me. no one who gets out gets to live
> they're gonna find me
> when i was disembarking some guy threw a bag at me. said it was mine and warned me not to forget it. checked inside and there are a bunch of guns and some clothes and most of the money i earned. guess i was thinking ahead?
> merry is still with me, thank arceus. i don't know what i would do if she'd been left behind
> team rocket seems to be a big name around these parts. wonder if i should join in? bet it would be a lot harder for galactic to touch me that way.
> found a recruiter. consider me a rocket trainee. gonna be rough coming all the way down from galactic elite. i probably shouldn't go around telling people i used to be in galactic, though
> this place is full of children!!! they're making me feel like a damned old fart!
> finished training easily enough. i remember the first time i was promoted to grunt. i was so excited. that all seems like so long ago now...

Most of the other pages and paper scraps lying about the chamber record unrelated and, often, unfinished trains of thought. Their contents, however, reveal much about their writer.


> we were hunting stantler then i was running then i was in galactic
> i never learned how to take care of a gun. my hands know how on their own
> i think someone might be watching me
> merry is so doting.
> found a huge scar on my back when i got out of the shower. wonder how long that's been there?
> it'd be great if the cafeteria would serve manicotti.
> broke my damned glasses AGAIN!!
> i need to get out of this hole
> had a dream about morrison last night. arceus, please forgive me...
> mom's name was laine. still can't remember dad's.
> won't galactic be pissed i've defected to rocket???
> IS SOMEONE HERE???!!!
> i need to talk to someone about this stuff
> merry's so good to me.
> s**t i need to get more sleep
> i'm too old for this

Set aside in a folder, a series of pages are arranged in away that is the room's only suggestion of organization. They appear to be accounts of significant encounters and missions.



> [PRP] Baking with Phone Books with Sao Kasai || went to the kitchen to grab something to eat and there was a woman in there trying to bake... while in a wheelchair. it seemed real inconvenient so i volunteered to help her out
>[PRP] Gunmetal Teacups with phantompanther13 || was maintaining some firearms over coffee and wound up chatting with a guy named Panther. we got to talking about Merry and he tried to help me out with her shyness.
>[PRP] For Whom the Bell Tolls with Catzandbirdz || guy named Alba was assigned as my roommate. we talked a bit while i cleaned up the room for him
>[PRP] Story of My Life with NaomiNaomi || nice girl called Lennyka started talking to me while i was writing. she mistook it for a novel and i kind of rolled with it haha
>[PRP] There is More That Ties Than Blood with Blood_Goddess || saw this woman walking down the hall bleeding from her arm. i stopped her and convinced her to go to the infirmary we got to chatting on the way and i sort of maybe told her a little about galactic... whoops
>[PRP] Guitar Hero with BlackFireKitsune || started talking with a girl by the name of Claire while i was playing guitar. turns out she was in Galactic and left at the same time i did!! it feels like we were talking for much longer than we were... i wonder if im forgetting something???
>[PRP] How Much Can You Bench? with BlackFireKitsune || i had THE CRAZIEST dream. dreamed i was in the gym all of a sudden and claire was there and i don't even know. i guess it sounds pretty normal retrospectively, but it seemed so real...
>[PRP] As a Lord with BlackFireKitsune || i'm not even really sure if i was dreaming or not... i went to watch a movie and claire was there too and she was drunk?? i dunno, i can't really remember a whole lot about it and it seems so weird, so i'm gonna assume it was a dream
>[PRP] About Last Night...with BlackFireKitsune || guys are always on about how great it is to wake up next to a pretty girl, but when you don't remember how you got there? there was a reasonable explanation though and then there was bacon and puppies, so a good morning overall
>[PRP] Better Days with BlackFireKitsune || bitter memories are the worst...
>[PRP] The One to Say You Have a Place with Blood_Goddess and BlackPidgeot || (No direct memories of this event.)
>[PRP] Don't Panic with BlackFireKitsune || uhh, so i feel like i lost a whole day's time... weird.
>[PRP] Surprise? with BlackFireKitsune || woke up one morning and just remembered so much stuff wow. thought i'd talk to claire about it and somehow i wound up with an eevee. a really cute one too haha
>[PRP] Grand Design with An Original Username || ran into Isadora who wanted to learn to use guns... not the best day of my life really
>[PRP] Coping Methods with BlackFireKitsune || was talking to Claire about you know. did some stuff i shouldn't have but so did she, was kind of a jerk but so was she
>[PRP] Hey, Guess What with BlackFireKitsune || chased my porygon around the building, got hit in the face with an eevee, got to thinking about some bad dreams... oh yeah sounds like a great day all right
>[PRP] ...Scar Buddies? with TawnyAngel || went to ambergris for some quiet and ran into a shady stranger. guy says he knows claire. i say i know how he's gonna die.
>[PLOT] Spelunking: A Greater Destiny with others || i could tell you a thing or two about destiny, like how sparklebats and fishgods got it out for us and how friggin uncomfortable it is to hit your head against a rock. man s**t sucks.
>[PRP] Down Time with Catzandbirdz and BlackFireKitsune || i don't remember the evening i got back from the mission too well... im guessing i was basically a wreck though.
>[PRP] Brightest Bulb with BlackFireKitsune || one thing i definitely won't miss about having a concussion is making a fool of myself all the time. seriously, magenta?? turquoise is a much weirder word
>[PRP] BFFs for life! with BlackFireKitsune and TawnyAngel || took me a while to recognize him but that guy from ambergris has showed up on base for some reason. not really sure how i feel about this development...
>[PRP] A clean slate with TawnyAngel || cleared some things up with aulus and cleared some things up with myself... ive gotten myself into a dangerous spot and its about time i got out of it

i got merry when i was thirteen years old back when i first joined galactic because apparently we weren't allowed to not have a pokemon. i was a real jerk at the time and was really terrible to her, and she already had a gloomy personality so things just didn't go very well. it took almost ten years before i was finally able to get along with her, and that was because her whole attitude pretty much changed overnight. she was still as gloomy and shy as before, but she had this motherly vibe or something like she wanted to keep me safe. i didn't like it at all at first but it was hard to keep being mean to her when she was so protective, so that was that.

Snow was given to me by rocket not long after i arrived. i guess they figured i could use a little more firepower, no pun intended. his file says he was stolen from a kid trainer near makko, so i guess that means he's a starter pokemon. it's making it kind of hard to get along with him, since my last run-in with a starter pokemon kind of ended really poorly. i know i'm being to strict with him, but if he's undisciplined he'll make a mistake, and if he makes a mistake he'll get hurt, and then it'll be my trainer journey all over again. better to be too stern than too lenient, right?? he's sure to thank me some day.

when i joined the weapons division some nice guy handed me an egg saying something about hellspawn. i couldn't exactly throw it away and i couldn't find anyone else to take it so i kept it. it hatched into this weird looking porygon and im starting to suspect that the guy that gave me knew something about it to call it a hellspawn. droid's real useful to my work and seems to love working with me but as soon as i'm packing up for the day he just starts terrorizing jeez. he's gonna get me into some real trouble some day the way he darts around messing with people's computers. i don't know anything about computers, how am i supposed to fix them when droid messes them up?!!
