Quick disclaimer before we get started. Yes, the entries are out of order (if you read part one, anyway). Yes, this is done on purpose. No, I’m not crazy. Thanks for your understanding. Again, ghost-spoken words are italicized, and human-spoken words are normal type. A new addition: words spoken by any Exos will be bolded. -Open Log- Entry No. 1 -Karl- [i]Hannibal has decided to start keeping a log. I will too, just to prove that I am as good as or better than he is. Recently we met up with some female Exo. I didn’t like her. I don’t think Hannibal did either. We ignored her pleadings to destroy some race called the “Vex.” At least, I did. Someone else would do it, I just know it. And someone else did. We celebrate the achievement later this week. I never liked missions with a purpose. I always preferred just going out and killing things. Without mercy, without rancor, without vengeance. That is what I love. Not that I’m a sadist, I just always liked killing those beasts that threaten us. He’s coming. I should go.[/i] -End Log- -Open Log- Entry No. 143 -Hannibal- -Name Change Detected- -Changed to {Søren Kierkegaard}- -Log Revised- Entry No. 143 -Søren- I decided to change my name, as you can tell. I hope you understand why. If not, maybe your mother can. She always was better with words. Then I was, anyway. Hannibal is a fine name, the name of a prominent enemy of the ancient Roman Empire, but it was also the name of a fictional cannibal. Hannibal Lector. That was my name. I liked it for a while, until Anastasia told me otherwise. I love her. Anastasia Romanov. She is a wonderful woman. I hope she understands why I did what I did. Why I had to leave. Why I decided to name you what I did. Why we can’t return, eve if that means I have to never see them again. I hope you understand as well, Lev. I named you after a great man. A man whom I respect, and so do many others. Lev Davidovich Bronstein Trotsky. I will miss you, with every fiber of my being. I love you as only a father can. I hope you will forgive me, even as I set our destinies on a path that only I can see, a path that will eventually lead to the salvation of mankind. I must go now. Farewell. -End Log-
