[The camera for this journal has been obscured completely, so that the writer's identity is somewhat of a mystery. It's someone with small, neat handwriting, at least, something close to cursive but not quite there, and almost too perfect to have been written by hand.]

The only useful information I have been able to gather is that I am now part of an experiment on a world other than my own. Why, and how, seem unimportant to my fellow captives, but it does seem as though this communication network has been in use for quite some time. Perhaps the answers are buried further than I have dug.

I do not expect assistance, but I would not mind being pleasantly surprised by it.

"Why" and "how" are both pretty subjective. Or well, the first one is, the second one's really just that we only know any specifics.

Neither's unimportant though.

Your writing is strangely good.

[Not that there's anything off about her own. It's neat and well done of course]

"Why" is not subjective. The reason that we were brought here is surely a concrete one. Perhaps it differs between individuals, but it does exist. [WELL YOU JUST KNOW EVERYTHING DONT YOU MEWTWO. GEEZ. He squints at the last part for a few moments before responding.]

Thank you, I suppose.

It's not quite concrete because it's unknown and as far as we know unmotivated. But that's for the planet, for the enclosure there is a definite reason, but there's more than one.

What are those reasons? How can you be certain that they are not the same as those for the planet?

[godbent]

Because the people who have people in the barrier want off the planet

Which could be doubted, but there's too much evidence to doubt that

So their main motive is to run tests on us to see how to get off
