Key Excerpts:

On the conspiracy coffee shop guy (October 16, 1999):

"He started talking to me about this anxiety medicine everyone is on and how it's apparently connected to some crazy corporate occult conspiracy... OH and apparently there's this whole conspiracy theory about some research campus on the other side of the country. Saint... something? Saint Juniper maybe? He said it's supposed to be like an endurance research facility but he thinks they're doing 'classified government experiments on people.'"

On seeing the creature (January 24, 2000):

"I was at the coffee shop this afternoon. Sitting by the window working on a layout. And I saw something outside. I don't even know how to describe it. It looked like an animal? But wrong. All wrong. The proportions were off. It moved in a way that didn't make sense. Like its joints bent in directions they shouldn't."

On the geometric symbol dream (February 3, 2000):

"Just woke up from the most vivid dream I've ever had in my life. Not even a dream. Something else. There was a symbol. A cross but not a normal cross. Geometric. Precise. The arms were different lengths. Circles at the ends of each arm. A perfect square in the center. It was spinning. Rotating in 3D... And I KNEW - the way you know things in dreams - that this shape was important. That it was DOING something."

On being recruited (February 23, 2000):

"Woman called from something called 'Cognitive Baseline Research Group' or something like that... Said my doctor had referred my case to them as part of a study on 'individual variation in response to medications'... She gave me an address about 30 minutes away. I said I'd think about it... They're listed as a subsidiary of something called 'Miter Corporation.' I feel like I KNOW that name from somewhere."
