1: Office Space

Whats with the escort? Didn't you think that I still had it? Just making sure you had secure perimiter prior to entering. How thoughtful of you. So, what do our trouble makers look like? Aliens. Care to expound on that? The invaders from outer space variety. Any information that is a little more descriptive? They're the kind that go smoosh when you apply too much kinetic force. This is not very helpful, Jack. what do you expect after keeping me in the deep freeze for the last hundred years or so? I was sent here as the guy who breaks stuff, not a zeno-antropolgist.

User: Clay, Henry Public log: One hour prior to the attack message #3001256 had been received from unknown sender. We had thought it nothing more then a wayward coded communique. We get many of these in a year. It had not been a cause for alarm. After all the relay satellite that we utilize is used by many outposts and military channels. It was when we tried to rebump the message back along its way(mailer demon response: standard protocol) that we realized there was a problem. No origin address was attached. This also would be standard for military transmissions. We tried to contact the relay network onboard the satellite to get the information to pass this message back along when received the Command[883]. Command[883]= no contact/or board down. Upon trying again we realized that the system was not down but our signal was being jammed. We sent out standard response to this situation in a low band S.O.S. hoping any Federated Ships would be in the area. Thirty minuets after the first message was sent we received a duplicate. A large unknown space ship uncloaked, sent the message a final time, and then began the attack.

User: King, Tyler Supervisor log: Subterranean teams are reporting that everything is proceeding as planned. New interfaces are being installed and the translator programs are working properly. As scheduled we are currently activating primary systems. They should be running on their own power, Surface generators are no longer needed to power subsurface activities. Cease all power not needed for the Derringer complex Self sustaining operations will commence. Log all readings and prepare for emergency shut down if the situation denotes.

We have begun translation of a message sent from the Alien's to the Derringer Complex before the fighting erupted. Fighting, this was more like a slaughter. It seems like some kind of warning. A request to cease operations of a machine . . . . . . Or else. I don't like the sound of that. If they were really so friendly, why did they come in shooting. Look, Jack, we have no way of knowing what exactly transpired here. The Derringer Complex may have activated some kind of defense/offense system that aggravated the situation. That doesn't matter now, anyway. We need you to check to the west of your current location to see if the testing generators and equipment are still online. If so, then the aliens are still looking to shut something down and I'm not done? Precisely.
