Eden Log

Synopsis: A man wakes up deep inside a cave. Suffering amnesia, he has no recollection of how he came to be here or of what happened to the man whose body he finds beside him. Tailed by a mysterious creature, he must continue through this strange and fantastic world. Enclosed, Tolbiac has no other option to reach the surface than to use REZO ZERO, secret observing cells in this cemetery-like abandoned mine. He embarks upon this journey guided by the roots of a plant, leading the way and the main subject of attention of the REZO.

So the Lord God banished him

from the garden of Eden

to serve the ground from which

he had been taken. Genesis 3:23

Eden Log... Eden Log...

Welcome.

Whatever you origins may be it is here

where your journey ends.

Sacrificing what is most important to you -

your consented efforts make you a natural

candidate for citizenship in our society.

Eden Log offers you it's passport.

Capable of entering in the cycle

Eden Log counts you amongst it's own.

Contract is fair.

It is thanks to your work below

you'll be able to construct

the paradise above.

Look after the plant

and it will look after you.

After this exchange

you'll be called to join us.

Without any other authority

than of your own will.

Without any other form of award

than the call of your new life.

The call.

Who are you?

I... I don't know.

I don't know who I am.

Stay away!

You awakened it.

Where... Where are we?

I don't know how you survived till now

but please get away!

No.

Tell me how to get out of here.

Where do you want to go? Up there?

There's nothing up there. Nothing!

It's over, do you hear me?

It's over!

I put and end to it. Me!

I opened everybody's eyes.

The whole world will know thanks to me

how much we neeed to pay...

There is no way out.

Please go away.

- Did you hear?

- What?

That!

It's already too late.

What was it?

Your end.

The end of the man you were.

Kill yourself.

Believe me. Kill yourself. Quickly.

You cannot escape from it!

I was the architect of this lab.

There's no way out.

Don't worry.

You won't suffer anymore.

Go! Go now! Go!

Access to scientific data authorized.

Memory re-energizing.

Open your level.

Out of the question.

First tell me what all that means.

Calm down.

You're not qualified for security.

Just open the REZO to our surveillance.

The protocol is clear. Access to the REZO

was reserved only to technicians.

Eden Log protocol

guarantees this.

There's no way that I can open

the passage to security.

This is an emergency. Your irresponsible

attitude is itself a breach of contract.

Plantation is supposed

to be self-managing.

Surveillance stops at the

collector at level zero. Not below.

You should let us resolve the problem.

Resolve the problem!? It's a war below.

Have you seen the pictures?!

You have no right to prevent workers from

returning up there and answering the call.

No way!

You should give us access that is not

in the area of your competence.

That's what I've been telling you.

It's out of the question

that the REZO be used for repressive ends.

And certainly not by your guards.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

You are in no position

to lay conditions to the council.

So long as we receive no information on the

condition of workers already on the surface

no one is using the lifts anymore.

This discussion is over.

- You are right, the discussion is over.

Everything is filmed!

If your screws try to come back in

I'm warning you

that I'll alert the world above

about what is happening here.

And the faith reserved by Eden Log for

the immigrant population. There's still laws.

On position. Everything's ready.

Then go!

Try to find a way

to get that working again.

Request contact with the surface.

What's the situation?

The elevators are still

blocked in the levels.

And the plantation?

- It's completely choked up.

The workers are in a terminal stage.

Gone completely wild.

That makes the intruder

that much harder to localize.

Get to the upper level, the rest of you.

On the double!

The images were being broadcast

throughout the REZO.

That explains the technician's

obstructing the access.

It's getting more and more complicated.

Recover the data from the laboratories.

The rest is left to your discretion.

- I see.

Secrecy... Secrecy alone counts.

You're already on a mission.

Control of the laboratories

and the technicians.

Control of the technicians?

It's a cleanup. And I want images of all that.

Check your recorders.

The signals that are broadcast

remain a danger for the whole system.

It's impossible to locate

the technician on level minus 3.

His knowledge of the gallery

is a serious handicap.

Get around that.

The exterior is not yet ready

to accept the secret.

You've remained it's guardians.

They've got us. We read you now.

We neutralize the lab and we

go back down to the plantation.

We have to locate the architect.

We've got no choice.

Nothing must leave the galleries anymore.

No signals, no people.

Memory disconnected.

Access to scientific data not authorized.

Check the tunnel.

I'm starting to get sick and tired

of walking around these tunnels.

Would you rather get lost in the REZO?

If that matter

I'm sick of these corridors too.

I'll be so glad when we get our hands

on that a**hole, so we can go back up.

Great, one more dead-end.

Let's hope the other crews

are luckier that we've been.

Access to security data authorized.

Maps loaded.

We all searched the whole zone.

Further on it gets impossible.

The others will take care

of that gallery.

We just have to finish this part here

and the level will be done.

He's got to be

in the more humid zones anyway.

Yes, got to be. He's got to be there,

or there, or somewhere else.

Maybe he's hiding there.

- And what if maybe he changed levels?

Enough already.

There's no point arguing about it.

How can he find his way? Dropping

bread crumbs? I don't understand.

It's the darkness causing that.

The brain lacks oxigen.

Shut the f*** up!

At least they don't have anymore problems.

Tell me how they expect

us to find a runaway

in a maze that he designed himself?

That you have to ask...

- Hey, up there!

He's diverted the evacuation pipe.

He is into the tunnel.

It's useless what you are doing.

I'm sorry about that music. It's the only

thing that seems to calm them down.

At least a little bit.

I don't know how much longer

all this can hold together.

But I sure hope

I'm not here to find out.

Can you understand what I'm saying?

Take it easy.

Don't stay too close to the wall either.

Do you understand or not?

Up till now I've been able

to manage pretty well.

And before you showed up, I thought

I was the only one in this situation.

But if you can't even talk anymore

it means your mutation has already begun.

And I won't be able to keep you.

Because this is the only place around

here that's a little protected.

Hey... are you hungry?

Wait a second.

Let me see what I've got left.

And that... It's a guard's harness.

What's a worker doing with that?

Why don't you want to answer me.

You'll calm down sooner or later.

Don't worry.

I've got all the time in the world here.

But you'll be going back outside.

But before that there's a little

experiment I'd like to try on you.

Don't worry it's just...

Stop!

Let me go.

But if you can still talk that means

you are not totally lost, you know?

No. I don't know.

I don't know anything.

Where are we?

The cages? You?

Pierre Bordage (born 29 January 1955 in La Réorthe, Vendée) is a French science fiction author. He won the Cosmos 2000 prize in 1996 for his novel La Citadelle Hyponéros. Pierre Bordage is one of France's best-selling science fiction writers.

Bordage's books are best-sellers in France, and have been translated in several European countries (Russia, Italia, Spain, Slovenia, Romania...) but there still remains the difficulty of getting published in English, especially in the United States.
