Document Text:
Day 6,421: I must be honest with myself. I knew there would be no truce with those men. I knew it would end in bloodshed.

They stole my crucible, but they did not understand what it was. Too bad for them I had already used it on my own weapon.

5 men and I still outgunned them. 5 human lives. Too easy.

Why don’t I feel worse about killing them? Is my humanity slipping away? Will I end up just another beast prowling this land?
