Eden Log Page #2

What does it mean?

We're between the plantation,

the workers and the surface.

The harvest of this down below

and the collector up there.

We are in the maintenance REZO.

- What's that?

The plant's maintenace is taken care of

by the REZO technicians.

Each floor handles a specific job.

I don't get anything!

I'm just the REZO's botanist.

I don't understand everything either.

What I need is to get out of here.

The workers. They came of that way.

Drawn by the plant I guess.

The plant fed them.

But there was no control.

And the dose was too strong.

That make them rot.

I told myself my only

chance was to wait

till hunger drove them start

killing each other

and I hoped I'd still be alive to see it.

In the end we grew accustomed

to each other. I've got no illusions.

If it weren't for these piece of plastic

between us I wouldn't be able to hold on...

They still manage to surprise me

after all this time.

But what I can't figure out is how you were

able to excape form the plant's addict.

Look. It's beautiful, isn't it?

The sap's energetic

properties are infinite

and believe me,

we're just at the beginning.

Let me try a test on you.

Don't worry, you've got nothing to fear.

Except knowing more about yourself.

If you're healthy the plant

will try to contaminate you.

That will set off the alarm

and stop the transfusion.

You mustn't bear a grudge.

It's as if it were trying to make contact.

Access to greenhouse authorized.

Mixture released.

I'll wind up knowing

what it wants from us.

What's happening?

The process is reversing.

It can't be.

The plant has always been sterile.

Who are you?

Wait. They've sensed something.

We'll take the lab from behind.

They finally picked up the trail.

It's me they're after.

Don't move.

It's simply a safety measure.

Till you get your wits back.

Hatch is opening.

I'm sorry but I can't take the risk

of bringing you with me.

No! Get away!

It's not me. It's not me.

Come on.

You are not like them.

I don't understand anything anymore.

The plant... You...

The guards going down.

The workers going up.

An elevator!

Data damaged.

Insufficient data.

Nothing works here anymore.

Access to scientific data authorized.

Memory re-energizing.

I am the last technician

before the exit level.

I don't have much time left.

We were naive.

We believed

that the cycle was perfect.

The energy, generated for the outside

is reaching everywhere. And to everyone.

The men digging underground made

insensitive to the pain of their efforts

recovered on the surface

thanks to their own hardwork

earning their place

in this new society.

The structure is different here!

It will never hold!

We knew what we wanted from the plant,

we believed in it's generosity.

But it's conditioning

was not without risk.

It's protecting itself from us.

The workers of the depths went throught

what's happening to me now.

But I will not end up like them. I have

no other choice but to graft myself to it.

Only the suction of the plant

can block the mutation

and nothing can reverse the phenomenon.

Today I know what the

society does with its sick.

They never come back down.

Eden Log probably estimated

that was the price to pay.

We, the technicians of the REZO

refuse to maintain this line.

No! It can't be. No!

They've left everything open.

Eden Log, forerunner of new energy.

At first I remember that they said that

with just one tree

and it's roots exploitation

they would be able to provide

the energy to entire city.

And I believe that.

There!

It's the collector of the sap.

The tree is above it.

The cubes.

They're connected to the machines.

Don't go back! Never!

You don't understand anything!

People in the cubes.

It's not to cure them.

The energy they take.

It's not the plant's energy.

It's people's energy.

What's this?

Did you hear that?

It's...

It's...

Sorry.

No...

No.

It's... It's not true.

Not me.

After all this time spent here? No!

It's you.

It's you.

You contaminated me.

It's you

You contaminated me!

I know...

I know this place.

I know this place. I know.

Go to the surveillance station

and contact the surface.

Access to scientific data authorized.

Memory loading.

Laboratory minus 2.

I have arrived at the plantation.

Request contact.

It's urgent. I'm not receiving you.

Sending images. I hope that...

Find the REZO botanists.

The plant is becoming

more toxic as it grows.

Apparently the more sap we take out,

the more the plant protects itself.

Warnings sent to Eden Log

have not been answered.

The architect of level minus 3, the most

capable of finding his way in the REZO

decided to go down

to report what's happening.

Here's what he have been able

to recover of his images.

Now it's my turn. It's calling me

and I know what's in store for me.

Misha!

End of recording.

Memory loading.

Laboratory minus 4.

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 it's immigrant population.

There's still laws.

On positions! Everything's ready.

Let's go!

Try to find a way

to get that working again.

Request contact with the surface.

What's the situation?

- And the plantation?

- It's completely choked up.

The workers are in a terminal stage.

Gone completely wild.

It's impossible to locate

the technician on level minus 3.

His knowledge of the gallery

is a serious handicap.

Recover the data from the laboratories.

The rest is left to your discretion.

I see.

Secrecy... Secrecy alone counts.

Loading surveillance data: 20%.

Get around it. The exterior is not yet

ready to accept the secret.

- You've remained it's guardians.

- You're already on a mission.

Control of the laboratories

and the technicians.

Control of the technicians?

- It's a clean-up.

I want images of all that!

Check your recorders.

The signals that are broadcast...

- Loading surveillance data: 40%.

Loading surveillance data: 70%

Loading surveillance data: 90%

Surveillance data loaded.

Reading surveillance data.

Wil you be alright?

I'll go see if the elevator is still stuck.

Can you hold on?

Requesting contact with the surface.

The plantation is devastated.

We're blocked below.

Do you copy?

Nothing works any more.

What the...

Access to security archives authorized.

Welcome, Tolbiac.

Memory loading.

The situation is critical. We've

intercepted images form the plantation.

Attention all guards.

By order of the council

prepare to go down

and silence the plantation.

End of the plantation revolt.

Task completed.

Elimination of the architect.

Task completed.

Access to the REZO

scientific observation laboratory.

Task completed.

Hey, you're back. Call the reenforcement.

It's Tolbiac...

Mission terminated.

The council is satisfied with the manner

in which you carried out this mission.

The uprising of the plantation workers
