... [He quickly turns it back and that's when he saw who was talking. There was a long pause as he quietly listen to her message. He just couldn't believe that she was here. Even if a guide tells you the dead can come here, it's still damn shocking when you suddenly see someone that been dead for years]

Casey...? You're--...Can you hear me, Captain?
The journal you found is used as a communication device here, as I'm demonstrating to you right now.

...Commandant Alexei? [but how? was he here, too?]

Yes, this is he. Look to the book. I'm speaking to you through the book as I do not know where you are exactly right now.

He felt sick, the sharp pain in his chest hurting. His thoughts were a scattered mess, what could he possibly say to her? What would she think? He knew Luceti could bring back people who had died, but from ten years ago? It was too surreal. Despite his fears, he realized that if he didn't say something now he might miss the chance. For the time being, he'd just talk to her like anyone else would, leaving the familiar face behind. If he could even find the words to say that is.]
... If it was a joke, it'd be the cruelest one I've heard. [He pauses.]
Are you in the village?

I'm assuming this is a village, so yes.

Has someone explained to you where you are yet?

A new world, Malnosso, a book as a communication device-and not even a way out?
I'm still not ready to accept it, but I may have no choice.

You must have just arrived. I can try to help explain, if you'd like.

All right. First of all, can you explain how we are...communicating?

These books serve as functional communicators. Others can see the pictures or video, and if you write in its pages, they will appear in everyone else's journals as well. It seems to be a mixture of technology and, well, magic. It sounds unbelievable, but we've seen that it's true.

That explains the strange entries then. [she's a little satisfied with that, for now anyway.] Can you tell me where I am? And how I got these strange wings on my back?

[and there is text. it takes her a moment before she checks the page. after a brief skim her eyes widen a bit, but she remembers the conversation]
...I see. Thank you for the help, miss.

And it isn't a joke. The book is a means of communication between the residents.

A prisoner, brought here for the uses and purposes of a group called the Malnosso, though what their ultimate goal is I don't know. You cannot leave, and if you are called upon to serve in their army, you have no choice but to comply. There are also experiments which will be performed, which can have any number of effects on you and any you might know who are also here.
It's not unlike being a plaything, really.

Experiments performed on people? You must be joking-human lives aren't meant to be used as just-[borrowing his word...sort of.]-mere toys!
If this is true, then perhaps it's a good thing I arrived after all. I assume there are groups trying to fight against them?
