"LOG 39 OF THE PROJECT Alteration 1, this is Vince Cameron. It's 6:30 in the morning, 9th of July, 2017. Yesterday, we have decided to divide the fifteen altered into five. Each of the five scientists will focus on three altered to run some tests and get to know the abilities they possessed. I was tasked to Altered 004 to Altered 006. And today, we are going to start with our tests."

"Log 40 of the Project Alteration 1, 8:04 am of July 9, 2017, Vince Cameron. I ran some tests on Altered 004 and instead of seeing its ability, I have found out that she lost her memories. I asked the others about this and they also observed the changes of their subjects, the whole operation of activating their millum gland caused their memories to lose. Therefore, we have decided to give new names for them, Altered 004 is Myceana. I derived it from the word Mycenaean, the last phase of the Bronze Age in ancient Greece. Since she showed no signs of her ability, I let her rest for today and check her again tomorrow."

"Log 41 of the Project Alteration 1, 11:00 am of July 9, 2017, Vince Cameron. Around 8:30 this morning, I met Altered-005 and I named him Erindel. When I turned off his inhibitor and ran some tests, it was observed that the subject showed some irregularities in his own physical body. His arms and legs were deformed that caused him great pain and panic, and the next thing I saw is the two additional arms coming out of his body. I immediately activated his inhibitor and his body returned to normal. On our first meeting, he showed his ability of a very fast cellular division and growth that gave him another set of limbs."

"Log 42 of the Project Alteration 1, 2:00 pm of July 9, 2017, Vince Cameron. The moment I deactivated the inhibitor, Altered-006 or Keet caused something spectacular—he shook the whole containment module, including my body. It started with a very light vibration, but a few seconds later, when he got scared of what's happening, the vibration of the whole module got more intense, and he set off the earthquake alarm of the whole facility."

"Log 43 of the Project Alteration 1, 8:00 am of July 10, 2017, this is Vince Cameron. The session with Altered-004 or Myceana went well today. When I let her milluxine flow through her veins, all of the tangible objects inside the containment module floated, including me. At first, it felt like I'm drifting in space, but seconds later I felt a force choking my throat and my whole body. Before anything bad could happen, I activated her milluxine and in a blink of an eye, I fell down along with the other materials under her influence. She's a psychokinetic, a very powerful ability if she could control it."

"Log 44 of the Project Alteration 1, 9:32 am of July 10, 2017, Vince Cameron. Altered-005 or Erindel lost his consciousness because of unbearable pain, he's still experiencing difficulties in controlling the rapid division and growth of his cells. Today, there's something inside him that wants to go out, stretching his skin and breaking his bones, and he passed out before it successfully got out."

"Log 45 of the Project Alteration 1, 3:12 pm of July 10, 2017, Vince Cameron. Altered-006 or Keet is very interested of learning his own ability, today we worked on controlling and understanding it. We started the session by knowing first his ability...he can release o control vibrations around him: from soft wind-like force to a much destructive force like a shock wave that could create an earthquake. He broke my tablet today, he lost control and he almost killed me when he started panicking, I felt like my body is shaking so bad and I was about to explode. Without the tablet I couldn't stop him, good thing Hunter saw what happened from the surveillance room and he activated Keet's inhibitor."

"LOG 76 OF THE PROJECT Alteration 2, July 16, 2017, this is Vince Cameron." Panimula niya, "Today, the volunteers came and there were a hundred of them: they are normal people with no millum gland ages ranging from 20 to 30 years old; they are physically fit and mostly orphans—no ties to anyone. The second phase of Project Alteration started with a serum, each of the subjects was injected with 20 mL of milluxine extracted from the fifteen pioneering altered beings including the preserved body of an altered sent from the future. As we monitor their body, to avoid any problems throughout the process, we bought an abandoned factory and started renovating it into one of our new facilities. Soon it will house most of our altered beings for a much-secured containment modules: more private and more complete facility."

"Log 78 of the Project Alteration 2, July 16, 2017, Vince Cameron. Day two of our second phase, we administered another 20 mL of milluxine to the subjects and we encountered complications rather than positive results. Four subjects undergone seizures with a very high fever, before we could even stabilize them, they died. With the remaining test subjects who showed mild side effects, we decided to lower the dosage of milluxine into 10 mL and observed them carefully."

"LOG 84 OF THE PROJECT Alteration 2, August 02, 2017, this is Vince Cameron. After several failures of our project, Dr. Fitzger formulated a new serum, its primary purpose is to fasten the adaption of the host body with the milluxine—making the changes less risky and less painful for the subjects. We injected 5 mL of this serum right after we gave the milluxine, it stabilizes the core temperature of the subjects and acts as a binding material for the cells and the new chemical compounds to avoid cellular destruction."

"LOG 101 OF THE PROJECT Alteration 2, August 19, 2017, this is Vince Cameron. Today, something remarkable happened with our remaining 80 test subjects. After injecting them with 10 mL of milluxine for more than 30 days, we observed something growing inside their brains, a small grape-like organ just right below the pituitary gland. Upon further observation and tests, we have confirmed that it is a millum gland that is still developing."

"Log 102 of the Project Alteration 2, August 20, 2017, this is Vince Cameron. The remaining 80 subjects of the second phase are stable and they're adapting to the milluxine flowing inside their system. The team decided to submerge them inside the newly constructed cryogenic tubes while the milluxine is continuously introduced to their changing body. With the newly formulated serum of Dr. Fitzger, the whole process of development of the millum gland and production of milluxine is sped up and we're expecting to have the full results by the end of September."

LOG 151 OF PROJECT Alteration 2. It's the 2nd of September, 2017, this is Vince Cameron. The 80 subjects finally woke up from their sleep with a fully functional millum gland. Since we lack containment modules for them, we just filled the fifteen available modules and transported the remaining 65 to the second facility on our private compound. And at this moment, our third facility is now under renovation and construction."
