==Synopsis==
"Ezekiel has no idea where he came from, let alone what he is."
==Plot==
“Entry five.”
==Noteworthy Events==
===Major Events===
*Ezekiel's Personal Phonetic Presence bio-companion, nicknamed "Persephone", more Humanitarian researchers, including Ruth and Bartholomew, and some of their extraterrestrial escapees, including eco-terrorist Old Man Clunk Constructionistianson, all make their first appearances.
*Ezekiel's medical evacuations by the researchers reveal that outside his brain irregularities, an unknown sinewy substance envelops around his entire skeleton and travels through his flesh, presumably the source behind his transformative capabilities, heightened regenerative speeds, and hyper-defensive immune system, automatically morphing his flesh to prevent the entrance of foreign forces, such as biological pathogens, into his system.
**Cornelius deduces that his extreme mutations and his biology's highly protective preporties were of deliberate creation, and not of random chance, hinting towards the fact Ezekiel was indeed a victim of experimentation.
===Minor Events===
*Ezekiel reveals that his earliest memory was when he was in his early teenager years cleaning out sewage in the upper portions of Yellowcake, experiences which he was hardly rewarded for and in turn would feed into his bitter hatred towards the Humanitarians, and presumably Early Birds as a whole.
*Ezekiel relinquishes information about the mysterious photo he stole back from the Skeleton Crew, confirming the Humanitarians now have it in their possession and may have the means to digitally repair it.
