...Hello! My name is Joshua. Call me Josh. I'm 24. Uh, I don't really know what to say... Well, today is my first day at a facility called LonCo and I am getting suited up tomorrow for my very first test! I'm really excited. They told me to record my day on a log, so that's what I'm doing now! Kinda obvious, but yea.

...

I don't really know what drew me to do this. LonCo's soul purpose is to lengthen the human life, whatever that means. Gotta be honest guys, I'm nervous. It is exciting, though. Just think about it: humans living forever. To me.. that's extraordinary.

The tests will probably last at least a couple years. I'm ready. I think. Uh, not sure what I'm getting ready for, to be honest. They don't tell me much. Just that, after they do their primary tests I will be ready for bigger things.

I am, after all, the first...

So, if we're truly going to get to know each other, then I will tell you a little about myself and LonCo. You already know my name is Josh... um, I had a wife. She died. My life was kind of over until I found this place. They had a sign up sheet. I filled out a couple forms and was selected in the end. I didn't think I would get in, if I'm being honest.

LonCo is huge. Here I'll input the map below:

It's owned by a man named Kai Lon. I've heard he's a scary dude, but I'm not making any assumptions until I meet him. His intentions are good, at least I know that.

They've got cameras all over this place. Watching your back and watching your words. It can be a little intimidating. I try not to think about it too much. You have to remember why you're there to really understand why they do things.

... By tomorrow I will be a new man. They will have done their first test and something about me will change. That's all they've said. I'm putting all of my trust in them. No going back now!

I've got to go.. They're calling me. Anyway, believe in the cause and wish me luck!
