This is Shelly Nakajima, still alive in mutant heartland. Jason and I haven’t been killed yet, and we can still transmit. I’m beginning to think that they’re allowing us to transmit and that they want you… us, to know.

There are other captives as well. DeVries, he’s… he has been a prisoner for a long time. We are the first humans that he has seen since dr Duchev. DeVries says that the Umbranoids are running the show. Prisoners are still forced into the arena to fight, and … I’ve done my best to treat the wounds of the few that win and survive but I don’t have much to work with.

The air is ripe with pain, uncertainty and fear; so much fear, even among the mutants and especially Feffoids and Argonaughts, and it seems to be… it’s growing. I can almost touch it!

I think… I fear that something bad is going to happen. Please, if anyone out there can hear me, help us before the fear takes us.

For EBN News, this is… is Shelly Nakajima.
