Who put all this food stuff on the counters?

August 30?

I REMEMBER THE JOURNAL

I wrote in this yesterday. I remember writing in this before. I hope I remember this journal tomorrow, too.
I don't remember some of the context on these days, though. The kitchen is clean though

I found a box of weird black things hidden under the bed. They rattle when you shake them. They've also got these weird white gears in the middle of them. I wonder what they do?
There was this other weird box in the box as well. I realize now that "box" is not a good descriptor. It has an indented rectangle shape in the middle with two prongs. It also has some buttons with weird symbols on them.
It looks like the gear boxes go into the indent. I'll put in the one labeled "THIS ONE FIRST" and get back to you.

What an odd tape! The man inside of it had a very whispery voice and says he was keeping these as memos. If I can quote him verbatim;

He clears his throat. "Welcome, Agent, to your Agency-given Tapes. If you're listening to this, then that means you've forgotten what they are, or are just very curious. You were always a smart cookie, Agent! These tapes are for if you forget any basic needs, should that be necessary. I don't know how you would forget something, but if that ever be the case, these tapes are here for you.

This is the first tape. The next tape is Tape One, then Two, and so on, so forth. I hope you can remember me!"

For the record, I do not remember him. I will listen to the rest of the tapes tomorrow.

August 30

There was this weird black box on my bed. Was it there throughout my sleep? I moved it into the other one and put it back under the bed.

After looking back on my journal, NEED THAT BLACK BOX

Tape 1 just seemed to list off some person. The man says they're me, but I don't even know if this is my house. I don't understand half the things he said on it, either.

"Welcome, Agent, to Tape One of your Agency-given tapes! This tape contains the basics of your identity.

Your name is Agent- what you're normally referred to as. You work for The Agency as a field agent. Our enemy is Zoraxis Industries, a large corporation run by Doctor Zor. They're a nasty individual.

Your feats so far are driving one of Zor's cars off a plane and neutralizing a supervirus run by Zoraxis Labs. I hope you continue to do more amazing things, Agent!

The next tape entry is Tape Two. To go back to the beginning entry, put in "This One First"."

I have listened to This One First today. Am I Agent?
