The Fortress (and more notes)

Me and a team of other animals have been asked to spy on the phantom's activity in their fortress, and I've started reports on this. Read this at your own risk, for it may have some disturbing elements.

Day One
We've just found the location of the fortress. It's surrounded by tons of guards and mechanical wonders capable of sensing nearly anything, but we have eventually found a solution. Through a certain combination of levers, a machine that will transform you into a phantom is turned on. Phantoms, being as dumb as they are, do not suspect suspicious newbies, so our team decided to use the machine. As we thought, we were able to easily enter the fortress. Upon entering, we discovered countless stone statues of phantoms scattered all over the room, accompanied by stone benches next to each one. Obviously tools used by the phantoms to admire their own monstrous looks. There was also growth, in some places, of small phantom vines. There were also windows in which the eyes of guards peeked through. There were splatters of strange green and purple goop spots all over, which made 2 of the explorers throw up. We have been unable to explore further, for the factory shuts down at 9:30 pm.

Day Two
Some larger phantoms have asked us to enter a different room, one we had never been through before, and found some very disturbing things. The phantoms appear to be raising a new type of plant, a sort of long-necked abomination with a round mouth. Most of these things were sleeping, but some were awake. They stare very menacingly. Phantom vines were surrounding some spots of the wall, and a badly drawn phantom painted in strange black paint was in one corner of the room, and black goo was attaching a huge pipe on the ceiling to the floor. On two side of the room, there were doors that had the appearance of giant phantom faces, with glaring purple eyes. We have been unable to investigate further, as we have been put on guard duty for the remainder of the day, and we are trying not to look suspicious. If we reveal any of our true intentions, we are surely doomed. This place is swarming with phantoms.

Day Three
Two of the explorers disappeared overnight. We are not sure where they went, but most of us assume they are dead. We were allowed into the next room this morning, and were horrified to see small, round phantoms with short, round tentacles covering the sides of their bodies. There was a phantom king that looked as if it were leading them, and it kept slamming over and over. Every time it slammed, the round phantoms (which we will refer to as slammers) would slam with it, making dents in the floor and repeating this process. We are worried that the king may be raising new kings. There were several vents in the floor with a strange green glow coming from them. In one corner of the room, we found several abandoned backpacks and the same strange phantom symbol, again painted in black paint. Down the hall there was a wooden chair and small table, both smothered in cobwebs. On a wall, there was a map that looked to be a map of the fortress. Several Xs were present, and we shall investigate those later.

Day Four
We began to search through the next room this morning, but we lost a lot of explorers. There was a large pipe making a sort of pathway across the floor, and phantoms were coming from it and going into various portal leading to various Jamaa landmarks such as the Juice Hut, Basement of Secrets (which was unnerving, seeing as that was a room that the alphas believed to be the only place in Jamaa that was completely safe), and Club Geoz. The pipe led to a room in which we discovered conveyer belts, lots of them, which showed us the disturbing process of creating a phantom. Various objects evolved, slowly gaining things until they finally became a phantom. Here are the items, in order of evolution: 1. A round, black object. 2. The same object, except with bottom tentacles. 3. Added top tentacles. 4. Added eye (it now looks similar to a plushie). 5. A living phantom. These conveyer belts were led through various machines for the different new features before finally leading to the pipe. There were lots of pots and vents filled with a glowing green liquid. While we were exploring, 3 explorers fell into the machines and 2 fell into the goop. Only 4 of us are left, all worried for our safety.

Day Five
We discovered a portal and entered it, which led us to a new room. In this room we found various capsules, in which bunnies pleaded for our help. Some pods contained boomseeds, but all of us found ourselves unable to break the strange, round pods. The long-necked plant things (which we will now refer to as spitters) were everywhere, now fully awake. We realized too late that the machine's disguise had been removed, and one explorer was hit with the purple, wicked boomseed things that the spitters were shooting at us. He fell over on the floor and began to have spasms as we hid, and he was hit with more and more until he went limp. He was screaming the entire time. We proceeded with extreme caution. Strangely, some pods contained phantoms. Perhaps this had been punishment for disobeying the king? None of us were sure. Eventually, we had to stop, for the clock had just struck 9:30.

Day Six
We found a different room after going through various rooms filled with pods. The thing most unnerving was the bunnies trapped in the pods, who were all screaming in terrible agony. Some were slumped over, and looked very dead. The new room had a huge machine in it, powered by so many phantoms that we couldn't bear to think about it. We devised a plan to launch a surprise attack on the machine, which we shall initiate the next day. However, if it fails, we are most likely dead.

Day Seven
The third explorer was launched onto the machine and began to repeatedly shoot boomseeds as the second explorer and I attacked the guards and pulled levers. We didn't notice the slammers that leaped from the ceiling and proceeded to overwhelm and eventually kill the third explorer. The second explorer fled straight into the king, who had decided to pay the new intruders a visit. He was instantly killed by the powerful jolts of electricity produced by the king, leaving me alone. I ran, knowing at least one of us had to survive, and escaped alone. I was outside when I began to feel zaps cross my legs and body. I knew what this meant. They would spread and become stronger and stronger until I died from all the electric jolts. I forgot to mention this, but I've discovered a series of blueprints and included them in this journal. They are your only hope to defeat the phantoms. I'm doomed already, but you still have a chance. You can save Jamaa. You can destroy the fortress.

Run.
