In this page Gloria is frustrated at her computer, saying 'Ugh, why do we use computers from 1999???'. Don, another employee, pops in and says ''If it's not broken, why fix it?'. GLoria looks at him, annoyed, and then her computer explodes. E.B.'s journal reads: 'I must confess I have been less than forthcoming with some of my entries. I have not found 'enough' accounts or photographs; rather I have found all that I could find. And it wasn't only scientific inquiry that led me to leave Britain. Mr. Thomas is missing. His wife came to me, worried sick, hoping perhaps I knew where he had gone. I had no answers, and so she left. Then the rumours started. The pastor came to see me before the authorities did, and when they found no inconsistencies in my statements they relented in their queries. I left shortly after.'

E.B.'s Journal'
 I must confess I have been less than forthcoming with some of my entries. I have not found "enough" accounts or photographs; rather I have found all that I could find. And it wasn't only scientific inquiry that led me to leave Britain. Mr. Thomas is missing. His wife came to me, worried sick, hoping perhaps I knew where he had gone. I had no answers, and so she left. Then the rumours started. The pastor came to see me before the authorities did, and when they found no inconsistencies in my statements they relented in their queries. I left shortly after.
