All the intel's been good so far. This is the complex that some of the names on my list are already sleeping in. A few more are scheduled to arrive before night falls. Fortunately there's one last supply shipment that's supposed to come in and the drivers have been convinced to let desperate refugees catch a ride. The imperials will never let them in, but it will certainly be enough of a problem to trigger a lockdown that will deny the targets entry and means that the facility will be short whatever it was supposed to have. I feel sorry for the refugees but they never had a chance to begin with. At least they'll have one last hope of salvation as their deaths accomplish something.

Refugees have breached the cave. How did they even find out about this place? Was someone trying to impress a girl? There's too many out there to take the fight to them. Chief's already triggered the lockdown. We'll die out here with them, but at least they won't get in and overwhelm the facility trying to stuff themselves into pods. Would have been nice to actually claim my pod next to my wife, but that's just how it's shaken out. If there's anyone's left in a week's time, we can start the procedure for opening the door in the captain's office.

Are you under a deadline? Is immigrant labor not cutting it? Our doll work crews have even fewer necessary considerations than migrants and they aren't foreigners! No lunch breaks, no rest breaks, they don't even need to sleep! Just have them stay on task until the job is done! For 5 easy payments of SYSTEM ERROR

Powerflow from Geothermal is messed up. Someone has to go over and reset the breaker. Treat it CAREFULLY. I know you wanna disconnect it because it's failing so much, but the wiring was absolutely designed to last for centuries and needs to be set up the way it was in the plans. Bypassing, removing, or damaging the regulator will see you terminated, which also means losing your spot here. I'll say it again, if the doors in the cryopod bays aren't opening due to issues with the breaker JUST RESET IT, DON'T DAMAGE IT.

Drive Fragmented

Ambush after ambush. It's almost predictable at this point. It's not a matter of when or even how it's gonna spring anymore. It's just a question of how much is waiting.

They had to get lucky eventually. Let's just see how well their luck holds out while they're confirming their kill.

Maybe next time

Preparing Cryogenic Pod for Citizen

This is it. The pod is waiting. I can't shake that this is a bad idea, but I can already feel something clawing at my mind. It's different from doubt. It must be the Night trying to get in. I can't waste any more time. The terminal rings as the pod swings open.

Pod ready. Please have the citizen enter.
