Audio Logs

The Audio Logs were a series of audio recordings that Commander W4stedspace would record. This page is really long and contains all audio logs, from beginning to end. There are also other audio logs by Doctor Morphologis, CaptainShack and Lieutenant Ford (Not Canon Material).

### Day 1

Day One, Log One: Audio log for Commander W4sted, date, 27,7,77. Day one, and I have woken up on, I don't know where. This place, it seems habitable I can breathe I feel groggy though, I don't know if its the fall I blacked out on the landing, and now my head is pounding, I can't think clearly. So yeah, audio logs, I'm gonna take audio logs, maybe someone will find them maybe this will help me figure out what is going on The Company has to be behind this. This jump drive 'mess'. My ship! They destroyed the Constitution! I found part of her today, first scouting mission from the pod, somehow I survived the landing, and came across what must be wreckage from somewhere near engineering. It should provide me with a good start, there's materials, there's things to begin with, but at the same time I have to... It's not the Constitution anymore, just think of it as salvage. So uh... Day one, the environment seems to be habitable, I have landed in some, Ice Plateau, there are salvageable deposits nearby, and so my first stages will be to, salvage what I can from the remains of the Constitution, and start building an outpost, somewhere where I can be safe. A few trips carrying salvage made it pretty clear I'm going to need some kind of vehicle, so I was thinking about that glide racer back on Earth. It should be something I can duplicate, the concepts were pretty simple and more importantly it should be something that should be able to carry a decent amount of cargo, so I think I'm going to need to give that a go. I believe we have the materials to do it with the salvage lying around so that will be my first mission. So I started work today but the head pains have been getting worse I also keep catching glimpses of something in my peripheral vision. I don't know if its a result of whatever happened in the crash, or whether there is something there. I really need to get that base setup I can't spend another night on this wreck its totally exposed. The plain below looks suitable, its low ground but I'm gonna have good vision, I'm going to be able to see for at least a mile so I'm gonna start tonight, not sleeping on that wreck again. Salvaging the parts from engineering is proving far more difficult than expected, I've had to erect a massive scaffolding up around on to the roof, where most of the critical components lie. Shes come down on her side which has left most of the valuable components up way high above everything, and more importantly I'm gonna have to figure out how to get power down to our main base there's no way to move these batteries. Right the parts are here and we are getting this thing up as quickly as possible. Survival is a problem now, power is draining and I have taken apart the things I need to survive. So I've been awake for forty-eight hours now and the head pains have returned and in this twilight I am again seeing things in my peripheral vision. Cameras, cameras I'm gonna setup cameras and maybe it will help me shake this feeling that I'm being watched by something. Is it The Company again somehow? The cameras will also mean I will be able to document this a bit better, maybe even rig something together to record outside. No idea if anyone will ever see this or why they would even care, but it seems important somehow. Anyway, first camera is up, I'm gonna try and get some sleep. Day 3, 17:00... End transmission....

### Day 4

Day Four, Log Two: This is the audio log for Commander W4sted, date 01,08,77. Something woke me about a half an hour ago, so I went out to have a look, scan the plateau, and there's nothing there, but that same eerie silence and the weird glow, because the damn sun never seems to set. Never gets properly dark, and the snow has got this funky glow to it which makes it seem brighter than the sky. And while my vision is still kind of dim, and occasionally when I get up fast my head spins and I feel like I might pass out, so there has got to be something wrong with me. Something to do with the crash or the drive failure or... I don't know, this place. I can't sleep in the sun, this is getting this out of my head I think. There's no life, there's no water, its just that whistling wind, and the crackling of the ice. At dawn, I'm gonna head back to the wreck. There's a beaten up med bay there, it was to damaged in the explosion to be of much use, but perhaps with enough other parts, I can build a working one, and then maybe, maybe find out what the hell is wrong with me. Well the drip to the wreck highlighted how bad the power situation is. The rovers damn low power warning light was blinking the whole journey. I guess its just one more problem on the list. This whole thing... Massive risk! One mistake, moving the med bay, and I can't even work out what the hell is wrong with me. I can't even heal myself. Worse then that, this god damn wreck is falling apart as I work on it. These nearly finished me off, and barely missed the rover. But, the trip wasn't a total failure. I did rig up enough parts to build a working med bay, and I also found a suit, tangled up in the wreckage. Its pretty burnt from the explosion so, I can't read the designation but thankfully, it was empty. Not sure I could face finding one of the crew. Either way, most of my suits functions are damaged or, completely offline. So as soon as I'm done with the med bay, I'm gonna switch suits. It looks pretty much intact, it can't be any worse than mine. It will also mean I can take apart my suit and see if I can recover any logs from the crash, its been to damaged to access the AI. Really wanna try and find out, just some idea of what the hell happened, and the blackout seems to have taken out most of my memory. Anyway, I'm gonna start the vital scan now, but thanks to the power problem the fact we only have solar, this is gonna take twenty-four hours at least. So I put on the new suit, and immediately set to work on the old one, and this is that damn suit me and the Captain rigged up for the interns. Command want to give us some spotty nerd who thinks he knows everything we'll show them a thing or two. Well looks like that bit me in the ass. No AI, no suit solo assistance, and worst of all of the god damn suit warnings are in Russian. Well I'm stuck with it now, its that or go naked. My suit was so far gone I'm never getting that thing back together. Still its fourteen hours until the med bay report comes back, I guess I will fortify this place up a bit, get some more cameras up. But with how I got all this lovely free time all of a sudden, I might as well make some use of it. So if there is something out there and it isn't just my mind playing tricks on me, then I'm gonna make damn sure, that when it does find me, its in for a nasty surprise. Spent sometime looking over the logs the last couple of days. The cameras I do have running haven't caught anything yet. I have noticed a recurring audio issue with the logs thus far. So I guess at least fixing that will keep me amused once the defenses are set up. Don't know if its the fact that this damn place is so silent, I can hear ever little move I make every time I take a breath, or the fact that the sun never seems to properly set so I can't get any damn sleep, but this place is really starting to give me the creeps. Day 5, 03:00... End transmission.....

### Day 5

Day Five, Log Three: This is the audio log for Commander W4stedspace, date, 02,08,77. Well again I struggled to sleep during the night so I amused myself trying to repair and fix the audio issues, with limited success. I think in fact I perhaps succeeded mostly in just loosing my mind a little further. I've also got to know my suit a bit better overnight and have decided to name him Ivan. I have also decided that as soon as possible I am going to tear Ivan's voice box apart and replace it with a camera. But still, between trying to work on the audio issues and some highbrow philosophical debate with Ivan, it did at least pass the time. Haven't slept again, but more importantly this morning it became very clear that the power situation is far worse than I thought. The med bay, should have come on at about ten A.M. and as the sun rose nothing happened. Not only is the med bay not running, I can't run the assembler, I can't produce any of the things I need to survive, so this has become a really urgent problem. Not only do I not know whats wrong with me still, but also at this rate I'm not going to be able to produce anything further. So today's mission is back to the wreck. I believe between what we have already collected and whats left on the wreck, we should be able to put together some more solar panels or some batteries, I may even check before we leave to see if we have enough to put together a couple of extra solar panels. I believe there were some solar sails last time I looked, so its back up to the wreck for hopefully the last time. Well I just got to the damn wreck and this thing has moved, some one has been here. Like there's no way I could be alone here this wasn't just my mind playing tricks on me, seeing things out the corner of my eyes this wasn't me loosing it. Something has happened here something has caused this thing to move to shift, gotta be someone else. So this basically finalizes the plans I got to strip this down now, I cannot stop, but that means were gonna have to go overnight if we have to. I don't particularly want to be out here at night but if there is someone else around if there is something else around then this thing has got to be taken down. My last possible chance to actually get these resources before someone else does runs off with them. Well guess I'm gonna have to drive back in the dark were completely loaded up but I suddenly noticed that one problem with building your base in the middle of an open plain, is I can see it from here! And if I can see it, than so can anyone else. So I'm gonna get the hell back to the base as quickly as possible and then... I'll paint it white. That's it. Yes we'll paint it white, and then it will be impossible to see. Well at least the base doesn't look like its been touched, cameras haven't picked up anything. Motion detectors are still off so, everything here is secure, I'm gonna unload this cargo as quickly as possible despite the fact that every muscle in me is burning I've gotta do something about this lack of server assistance for this suit. Its getting totally ridiculous lugging all this stuff around. But first but first were gonna unload and get this place painted white I can't stand the idea of people being able to see this place from that far away. So yeah, paint it white and then maybe some defenses maybe even some mobile defenses, yeah. That's the idea. I'll build a drone, I'll build a drone and then I can use that to go and check things out to see if something seems threatening or just whatever I can stay in the base and send that out. In fact in fact I'll do the drone first, I'll do the drone first. Uh, I can't think straight. It needs power, power yeah, yeah batteries. but we can't do the batteries we can't finish the batteries the power cells are still a problem. Well its gonna have to be batteries, I'll get the batteries done, I'll get the defenses up and we'll do the power in the morning. Solar first, then we can get the assemble running, and once the assemblers running I can start worrying about trying to make some power cells. Yeah yeah yeah that's, that's the plan, so the drone, the drone. So I've got as far as I can with the drone with the materials we have we can start on the defenses but I'm starting to feel really heavily dizzy and the flashing edges in the vision is back I don't know what is causing that but I can't wait for the med bay results to come through. Were gonna set off on those turrets done, see just maybe if I can sleep knowing that were a bit defended. Day 6. 13:00. End transmission.

### Day 7

Day Seven, Log Four: This is the Audio Logs for Commander W4sted, date 04,08,77. So it seems I passed out welding yesterday, and didn't wake up until early hours of the morning, and then in my daze immediately stumbled off the roof of the base. Fortunately the landing is soft its snow, so didn't beat myself up to much further. One thing that gave me a bit of hope before sleeping was there was a couple of extra indicator lights on the med bay, suggesting some of the tests are complete, but with nothing else to do and my head still aching beyond belief, I'm gonna try and sleep a bit further, I feel so much better from being out for a few hours, maybe this will help more. Well it seems I was kinda right about the med bay, some of the scans are completed, but were still a decent distance from the full tests. What I do know so far that I don't seem to have any form of blood poisoning and as far as physical results are concerned, I have no broken bones, nothing in that region, there no noticeable internal bleeding, the remaining scans focus quite literally on whats going on in my head, maybe there is more to be learnt there. What it does mean is that again today is a day where I do not know whats going on so, feeling a bit more upbeat honestly and a little bit more together after finally getting some sleep. I think I might look at recovering the two batteries over up by the wreck. There the only things we left behind because I had no way of moving them. But I could really use that extra power we have perhaps got enough parts in the assembler to break down to make maybe one more battery? But that's going to be it. I mean, even the drone is useless until I can finish off its power. So I think its important that I work on something to sort that out and my best guess I think is to build something to actually try and pick it up and transport it. I used a moonlight doing repair work for a construction firm back in the day, so I've seen plenty of heavy lifting equipment so I think with a bit of ingenuity I can probably copy something along those sort of lines. The biggest difficulty is gonna be how to control it. So I guess while my head is feeling clear and my heads not pounding quite so bad as it was yesterday, I'm gonna try and sit down and try and figure out a control system for this, and how the hell the mechanics are gonna work. I've got limited components so there is no way I can just go and try something out and I have to plan something out in advance and just hope beyond hope it works. Cause everything left is going to get poured into this thing, just in the hope we can bring some power back. So lets get this started. So today we managed to get most of the frame done for the truck bit, but as it started to get dark and I started to get more tired the head pounding has started to come back again I don't think I am completely fine still this was more than just, a bit of sleep but energy levels are much higher than they were in previous days so I'm going to set back off on this in the morning, finally in a position where we can run with power overnight so not only do I have the cameras running, but I also have the med bay running overnight so finally I can get some results and get some sort of idea of what is going on. Current estimate now the power was running and I can actually see whats going on with the med bay is. Probably another 24 hours. But what that does mean is, hopefully I will have been able to put this vehicle together, to actually run out and test it prior to the results coming through, so I'm going to try and sleep again, we still have no doors, so that's definitely going to be a priority for tomorrow. Now we've got power, I can build doors, and I think I'll feel just a little bit better from that.

### Day 8

Day Eight, Log Five: This is the audio log for Commander W4sted, date 05,08,77. I've just woken up, feeling pretty fresh still actually the head pounding seems to have died down a bit, and med bay is already running. Looking forward to those results, so given I've filled in everything about the crane build yesterday, things are still going well. I'm going to dive straight in. Things are progressing nicely with the crane today, although I did decide that we should probably put some method of locking the thing down in place just in case the battery turns out to be much heavier than I expected. Rather than strap it on straight away, I ran a couple of simulations through the computer, and god am I thankful I did the results were, catastrophic to say the least. But what it does mean is that I am now fully prepared, The crane design I believe is now complete, the only thing left to do is finish welding the thing together and go and give it its first test drive. The truck is now up and running but I haven't had a chance to test it again the tiredness has started hitting me much harder than it should've done. Two days building this vehicle has also taken it out of me to quite and extreme level so rather than go out and do any testing now I'm going to have a final nights sleep, the turrets are up so I feel, pretty damn secure now and then tomorrow, before we set out and do anything more, we should have the med bay results. Almost feeling almost elated for the last few days, the fact that this has come back and its still starting to pound away at my head, I somewhat fear what those results will contain. Anyway, this is Commander W4sted signing out. Day 8. 21:39... End Transmission...

### Day 9

Day Nine, Log Six: This is the audio log for Commander W4sted, date 06,08,77. The limited power we now have overnight was enough to run the med bay but not any more until this morning so it looks like the results should be due later today. Rather than just hang around here and wait for the results to come I have decided to make my way back up to the wreck and make use of the Crane to try and lift and move those two batteries left there. Recovery is going to be pretty risky. I stand a decent chance of either damaging the batteries themselves or even worse damaging the rover but its gotta be worth it. Any thoughts that I might have been okay have been proven to be, completely false. The pounding, and the flashes in the edges of my vision have both returned with the vengeance, so today is going to be hard but, should end with at least some idea of hopefully how to fix myself. Still the hitch for the trailer seems to be working just fine so its time to head up to what was the wreck and recover the last few remains that I can make use of. Well despite all my preparation this thing is damn hard to control. Just about managed to make it up to the crash site and get it in to a position where we can sort of get near the batteries but I have completely forgotten how steep this slope was. If I'm lucky I should be able to get the battery without doing any damage but... Just getting the thing to stay still on the slope was troublesome enough let alone how on earth were going to get the battery into the back without the thing toppling over or worse. Right well it seems like somehow somewhere I made some mistakes or something maybe the slope is affecting things. I can't life these to batteries. There is just not enough power in the crane so the only option now seems to be to, break one of them down, lose the components for that and hope that that's enough to be able to lift the thing. I don't know how I've managed to make this mistake how has this happened? So the rover took an absolute pounding somehow the entire shifted as I picked it up. Somehow also it didn't seem to take any actual damage. It must have collided with a wheel first or something, but eventually managed to get this battery loaded up it took the entire day to get this thing into position so I'm going to be driving back in the dark again. With this thing on the back and how this thing handles I have a suspicion it is going to be one hell of a stressful journey. I got back with the rover and, I can't even see straight. I think the med results are done but the best I can do now is try and sleep. I can't even read the screen.

### Day 10

Day Ten, Log Seven: This is Commander W4sted, date 07, ugh who cares? Yesterday was a mistake. I can't afford to push myself like that its clearly, somehow having an impact of whatever is wrong with me. I'm about to check the med bay results and get an idea of what exactly that is but, after yesterday, I'm kinda concerned both with what those results entail, but also how this could effect my chances of survival here now. All this makes the drone seem much more important so that is going to be a top priority as soon as this battery is fitted. I gotta work out if that thing works, how much can it do for me. Then even worse there is the issue of the rover. I have no way of hooking it up to the base so everything is being unloaded manually and worse than that, the batteries are almost dry and I have no way of charging it. So today once those test results are in and I've managed to unload the battery, the drone needs testing. I still feel like doors are a good move also, with the power semi sorted that will at lease make me feel, a bit secure. But for now, there is no one else and these batteries need unloading and someones gotta build this place some doors so. First, the batteries. Lets hope the crane can take another hit like that I, struggled so much to even lift it the first time I don't think I'll try now. The batteries need fitting, the doors need fitting, the drone needs checking, and I've got to fit a connection point on the base. Its going to be a lot to do for someone "taking it easy", but first, the med results. Well I guess I shouldn't be surprised. The med scan results revealed that the impact of the crash caused both a heavy concussion but also a traumatic brain injury. The results of this can be contained but all of it relies on me not pushing myself not stressing myself not working myself to hard exactly the opposite of everything I've been doing. And while the basic med bay I built is capable of scanning and detecting this, it is not capable of doing anything about it. So it seems for now until I can find a solution or design some more advanced form of med bay, I am stuck with severe limitations. But hey, the more you know right? Well that's the back sorted, now for the rover. I want to run a connection down through the parking bay so everything is nice and protected, but these turrets don't allow that. Well they are terribly positioned anyway the first thing they are gonna do is tear down the solar panels I have no idea what I was thinking when I put these here. I guess there coming down, the connection point is more important I cannot lose the rover now. Yeah well, at least that fits nicely something successful today although it does mean tonight we are going to be without defenses once again, and I need a method to control the drone so the first thing I'm gonna worry about is getting some sort of antenna set up. Currently my thinking is if I attach it to the rover, not only will this mean that the rover itself can be mobile control drone as well. But it should save me a lot of parts I need to control it for the time being. Yeah that seems like a good plan, but... No turrets. I think its time to get the doors done. Yep. Were going to build some doors. keep whatever is out there, out there. Certainly for tonight no turrets, definitely going to want some sort of security. The drone. It needs work, it needs testing and, I don't know what I was thinking when I designed this, look at it, what is it supposed to do of any use. One bit of articulation a couple of gattlings this is, pointless what was I even thinking? Well one thing I am sure of I am fed up with calling this thing drone. It needs a name. What do you reckon Ivan? Well your a fat liability. Fine well I'm gonna call it Ed. I'm crap with names anyway. So the final thing for today I'm going to give Ed version 1.0 a test run. Day 10. 23:00... End Transmission...

### Day 11

Day Eleven, Log Eight: This is the audio log for Commander W4sted date 07, 08, 77. Something woke me long before light. I checked the security recordings and, and, there's something there! The night I blacked out, the motion detectors tripped, they picked something up and in my haze I didn't even notice! The recording itself is useless however, whatever it was was so bright and moving so fast it just saturated the camera. So aside from a vague direction and the fact that something moving that speed has to be airborne. There is no more info. And this is what I discover the night after I remove the turrets? Just another mistake in the list of many: Ed, the Crane, the suit, I've really got to get a handle on this I can't afford any more mistakes. So starting with Ed, its time to start correcting this. Now I know whats going on my head, I cannot afford to be making errors like this its to costly. So, no mistakes. Hes gonna need, ground clearance, hes gonna need good range, power supply, some way to recharge it probably, cargo, and weapons. Weapons like last time, but better than last time. Proper articulation. There is no question of "paranoia" now, something else is alive on this planet, and I intend to be ready for it. So while I'd love to have Ed walk, I do not have the resources spare to experiment, I think wheels are the best option. They are at least stable, and trying to mess around with walking, it would be ideal some type of suit I could actually get into perhaps, but I'm never gonna manage that with the limited resources I have now, there is no room for experimentation, there is no room for mistakes. So wheels for propulsion, that part is fairly simple, now the functionality. I might try and fit the crane arm onto it, eventually. But after what I saw this morning, I'm more concerned about something that can explore, and hopefully also protect me. I'm not gonna be able to move him and man the gun and control the weapon at the same time.
