Mr. Truth
This is the truth. The State of Truth. Live and uncensored. Okay, I want to talk to you about seismology. About earthquakes, right? If you know anything about how the earth works, you know that where two tectonic plates meet, there’s earthquake activity there, okay? They push against each other and when the pressure gets too high, there’s what they call a seismic shift. That’s an earthquake. We know this. That’s how it happens wherever you are in the world. Japan, Chile, California, it’s all the same. Or is it? What about the Merida earthquake we had back in March, what do you know about that? I’ll tell you what I know. I know that the nearest fault line is hundreds of miles away, where the Caribbean plate meets the North American plate. You know what else I know? That there is no way a 9.8 earthquake is going to register at the epicenter location they’re giving us. It’s not on the fault line, and it certainly isn’t close enough to one to register a 9.8. So, you have to ask yourself, what’s going on here? How is the biggest earthquake in recorded history occuring in a location with minimal seismic activity? How is it that this so called “earthquake” just happens to open up a new vein of mineral and ore rich deposits that the Mexican government can sell off to the highest bidder? I mean, listen to me on this. There is now more Iridium around Merida than anywhere else on earth. And I’m telling you, the single most valuable material on earth right now is Iridium. The earthquake couldn’t have happened at a better time. It’s so perfect, it almost seems like it was supposed to happen, right? What I’m telling you is that this was not a natural disaster. This was a planned and well executed operation. Now, who planned it and how they did it is still under investigation but there’s a lot of people looking at this right now. The people need to know who has the power, the… the energy needed to create a massive seismic shift? The government? Private enterprise? Were the Santonian Mining Company involved? We know they benefitted, right? They got the contract just a few months after the Iridium was found. Contracts like that take years, not months. Look, I don’t have all the answers, but I know the questions we, you, need to be asking. So that’s the topic for tonight. Why was there an earthquake, who or what caused it, and who benefits? All right, lines are open. Give us call.

Why is it that every terminal and control screen I have to look at in this shit hole tries to burn my retinas to a crisp? Is Santonian trying to make us forget about the real sun? For the love of god can you see if there's a way to turn the brightness down on these stupid screens?

I know you're busy preparing for the expedition, but I had to tell someone!

The protein sequencer WORKS. Honestly, I thought it was HeliForm bluster as usual but we used it on the Gramineae using the funghi algorythm and oh my god it WORKED. I'm still anaylzing the new genetic structure to see what it did exactly, but the grasses are growing faster that ever before, and with less light. I have Geordie planting a whole new batch that will experience only 4 hours of AL and I'm confident they will grow just fine. Then we can move on to more complex plants, fruits, vegetables, ttrees, who knows. This is it! This is what I've been waiting for. I'm so BLAAAARGH!!!!

When will they let you out of isolation so I can show you?

Incident Report
Reported by: Vitori Molina C158 (Contractor Foreman)
Date of Report: April 23rd 2052
Incident: #L21-D1-022

Incident Details
Date of Incident: April 23rd 2052
Time of Incident: 10:45
Location of incident: Level 26, section A-3

Incident Description
Myself and an unknown Kovac Security Operative (unknown because KSOs apparently do not have to give their name when asked) got into an altercation when he refused me entry to my own sleeping quarters. The security officer informed me that my belongings were being "processed". When I asked what that meant I got no response. I then attempted to gain access to MY OWN QUARTERS and was forcefully prevented entry. I then attempted to push the rent-a-cop out of the way, at which point he twisted my arm behind my back and forced my head to the ground. In doing so he sprained my wrist.

I was held in that uncomfortable position for several minutes despite my complaints, until the security detail who were ransacking my room finished and left. When I was finally allowed to enter my quarters they had deleted all local correspondence (both emails and Hearsay transcripts) from the last 2 months. During those 2 months I have made several reports noting concern over the growing aggression towards Santonian employees by both KSO representatives and Project Insight staff. Those reports are all now gone from my possession, and are presumably gathering digital dust on some HR reps hard drive.

A Hearsay microphone has also been placed INSIDE MY QUARTERS, which has to be illegal, right?

Actions taken after incident
Vitori Molina (C158) subject to ANOTHER disciplinary hearing scheduled for April 30th 2052. Socialization privileges have been suspended pending the hearing. A personal statement from myself has been attached, though I doubt if anyone even reads them anymore.

Mr Johanson,

On August 8th at 07:48 a Santonian employee was discovered in the hydrostasis unit storage area

Mr. Piros has advised me of your request for more Kovac involvement in future expeditions. The current approach to operative debriefing, situation training, and resource management will not scale well for your proposed usage. However, we do have a command system that will fit your needs.

BIOCOM. Managing operations through BIOCOM would ensure full coverage for all future expeditions, coordinate additional stationed security posts throughout the facility, and provide round the clock protection or surveillance for all POIs within the theatre of operation (currently Garganta itself and the red zone on the peninsula). BIOCOM is a DI that will take control of resource tracking, supply management, objective specific training, operative briefing, and rapid response deployment.

That's the pitch done. The long and the short of it is BIOCOM handles things better than any human can. It doesn't sleep, doesn't make bad decisions based on compassion, and unlike human COs, has a 100% success rate for all fifteen of its deployments (if you need to know more, we'll have to do some paperwork). It still requires human oversight to handle some of the more sensitive ethical considerations, but even that can be pre-programmed to fit your ruleset.

It would take a few months to transition over. We should start now.

RE: Chicxulub accident

Fran - I have a source on the inside who's telling me he thinks they're falsifying reports at the Santonian project down in the Yucatan. Jackie sent a newsfeed tweet a few months ago about a mining accident at the Santonian mine (can't find it now but it's on her feed still). My source told me he saw a body being transported from the exclusion zone and taken to the Chicxulub mine on that same day, and that the body was "wet, mangled and bloated".

He also said the exclusion zone is not the one our reporters have been banned from, there a SECOND exclusion zone towards the coast that even Santonian employees can't enter.

I'm thinking there's a bigger project going on there than just iridium mining at Chicxulub and Merida. Can you draw up the latest satellite/topo data you can find on the area? If they're doing something along the coast, environment may find a story there, and if they're moving bodies and falsifying reports, I want that story to myself.

Derek

Okay, so, I just checked the quantum signature from E-F-Zero-One. Now we only got a 5 millisecond data burst, but it gave us something to work with at least.

It's not a relativity issue. This is a calculable change in the quantum frequency. Durant's time was running faster than our time. And not by a little - by a lot. Back of the envelope math is1 second in our quantum frequency is about 85 seconds in Durant's quantum frequency. I mean I

Reported by: Dr. Gallus Hammerstein B014
Created: October 11th 2053

# The Hammerstein Collection

## Abstract
This is the weekly report of Dr. Gallus Hammerstein, lead researcher and founder (or co-founder according to some) of Project Insight. I have decided to stop using the Hearsay system to record my daily and weekly notes as I believe prying eyes may wish to take my research and use it for their own gain. As such, I will be keeping all of my files local in a markdown vault so that I have complete control over the information I am gathering. This is clearly the wisest solution given the competitive nature of the staff I have hired for Insight.

## Weekly Achievements
This week we received a new shipment of specimen display cases and formaldehyde. To their credit, Dreyfus have been more than helpful in making sure my project is sufficiently funded and supported for the last 2 years. I'm glad they recognize the importance of my work.

I have started a photographic record of the specimens. At some point in the future I will be getting published for these breakthrough discoveries and will need imagery for the inevitable book and tour lectures.

This week I drew the conclusion that the lifeforms we have been finding do not appear to come from the same evolutionary tree. Indeed, many of them appear to have at least partially evolved in drastically different environments, though there is clearly a commonality in the mutations they all share. There is no indication that the artifacts and objects we have found within the fossil were designed for use by any of the creatures, so quite how they ended up there is still a mystery. The bizarre disappearance of the equipment while working on Artifact 13 suggests some method of transformation or even transportation beyond our current understanding. As such, the origin of these creatures remains a mystery - but they come from different places. Different planets? Universes? I am confident I will unravel the mystery, but my impatience for understanding is overwhelming!

## Goals
I want to display my specimens in as many places as possible to inspire my team to new discoveries. The Hammerstein Collection is destined to be one of the scientific wonders of the world and I feel it is my duty to reward my staff by showing off the work they do to their peers. It is inspirational and I will allow forgive myself for this brief display of pride.

I will be conducting a behavioral analysis of the few living creatures we have managed to capture. They have an extreme sensitivity to aural stimulation, so I will be setting up an experiment to project a range of frequencies throughout the lower levels of Garganta to see which ones draw the most attention. Obviously, this will be a controlled experiment. We will have Security Officers there to protect the researchers as they capture as many varieties of creature as possible. In an ideal world, I would need to order more display cases!

It should be perfectly safe if everyone does as I say. Next week will be monumental for Project Insight!

Subject: BIOCOM permissions

Marcus,

We've been having some issues with the BIOCOM interface in Overflow Vault 3. I'm seeing a lot of signal interference between the mainframe nexus point in the storage vault and the HSU dispersal bank. We have hundreds of HSUs throwing up signal degradation alerts (and I assume you're seeing the warnings on your end too).

I don't think it's a shielding issue. I think the run from the mainframe to the vault is just too long and I need to construct additional pylons. To gather the resources needed for an additional pylon I need approval from you of course.

I'm worried if we don't solve this issue we may end up with a failure cascade. These HSUs are all F/Infected classification so I guess it wouldn't be the end of the world if we lost the meat, but the freezers may come in handy someday - or at least we may end up needing them as Deep backups or organ donations etc.

You're listening to State of Truth AM. The only news source you can trust.

Over the last few months, we've seen the NAM-V pandemic devastating our species. State of Truth was the first to tell you about this virus and by God I hope we'll be the first to tell you it's been cured; but until that day, we will continue with our mandate. The cold facts, no matter how difficult they might be to hear, brought to you, the people. This is your right, and it is our purpose.

I have a census report in front of me from the last census, taken in 2050. Now, I know I lot of people out there don't do the census, right? They already know enough about us, why give them more? But there are millions, billions of people out there who fill these things in religiously, so they can be used as a good metric for where we were compared to where we are now. I also have a leaked copy of the CONDAM report filed just last month. CONDAM is the military statistics department, right?

Okay, so brace yourselves, because I'm about to hit you some cold truths. The census report of 2050, just 3 years ago, reports the populations of the United States to be 474 million. 474 million people, all ages, and citizens only, right?

The CONDAM report, filed in September 2053, reports the estimated population of the United States to be... you ready for this... 302 million.

That's what we're dealing with. Folks, if it isn't clear to you by now that this thing is out of control, I don't know what's going to convince you. If you are sitting at home and waiting for the government to solve this thing, it ain't gonna happen. They are digging in, you hear me? They are, right now, devising plans to move the elite class into isolation to protect themselves, because they know the world is on fire. They can't stop this virus. They don't understand it, and they can't control it. It is up to you to protect yourselves from NAM-V. You need to head into isolation, stock up on food and water, take every firearm and all the ammunition you can lay your hands on, and head for the hills. There is no one left to protect you. Switch off the goddamn television, and the bullshit network news, and... Take. Action!

Andrew,

I see the "value" of the Hearsay system and considering the price of Iridium, I understand the need for tightened security, but the way it is being done is plain wrong. Have you talked to your staff lately? Checked in on the social meetings? THEY ARE ALL EMPTY. Everyone's terrified of even talking to each other! My grandfather told me about this shit when he was a boy and you know how that worked out. There's something very wrong here Andrew. Spying on your people and bringing in these concrete head THUGS to keep the law is not acceptable. And the pompous assholes from Project Insight sneer down their nose at the people who actually BUILT this place for them. We need a worker's charter or something to make sure we are ALL being taken care of, not just Davies pets!

I know I'm just a lowly engineer and you don't have time for your friend anymore, but shit, this is out of control. Do something!

Igor

NATO collapse imminent

Report from Mark Howe, blog.mysepticisle.org

February 2nd 2054

On the 4th of April, 1949, a New World Order was established. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed, and with it came the now infamous article 5. “The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all". With these simple words, the war-weary people of world were told there would be peace. That there would be no more World Wars, that any separatists who broke the treaty would face the wrath of the combined armed forces of NATO.

Almost 105 years later, the treaty has faced its most challenging test so far, and it has failed. Not from a rogue power threatening nuclear Armageddon, not from ancient empires holding acting on ancestral grudges, not by a power greater than themselves forcing the dissolution of that once-great entity but by a bug. A tiny, devastating species killer we call NAM-V.

For months now, countries around the world have pulled back from the world stage and gone into isolation. Even the most notorious of blowhards (I'm looking at you America and Britain) are no longer glibly telling the rest of the world what to do. Every international border has closed, and in many nations new internal borders have been established around ancient land claims and local communities. Yet while these parochial hostilities may pick away at the fabric of our society, it has always seemed repairable once the dreaded NAM-V has had its microbial ass kicked.

But now, the seams have fallen apart on the party dress. A massive tear has ripped the fabric apart. NATO is no more.

While there is not, and never will be any official memo from NATO to tell us the party is over, the actions of the member states make it clear it is only a matter of time before full scale war breaks out among not one or two of the original NATO nations - but all of them. My beloved home country, this very Septic Isle, is already sinking refugee ships coming from France, Norway and Germany. Turkey and Greece are at it again, and Cyprus is caught in the crossfire. The Netherlands and Germany are defending their borders with military force and taking pot shots at each other whenever one dares poke their head out of the trenches. Even Spain and Portugal have threatened military action of the other one doesn't do something about those damned refugees. And among all this European chaos is the big daddy of them all, Uncle Sam. Uncle Sam is stone-cold quiet. He's got his own mess to deal with.

Statement from Dr Gloria Rutermayer, WHO Regional Director for Europe

28th October 2053, Copenhagen, Denmark

Due to the continued spread of the NAM-V virus, the World Health Organization is recommending all European nations formally close their borders to all international traffic and trade. Existing social restrictions and policies should be maintained and where possible, complete isolation of communities no larger than 100 individuals should be enforced. WHO efforts to find a both the vaccine and an effective cure are ongoing in partnership with all global health organizations.

Keep yourself and others safe.
Wash hands regularly
Wear a mask
Practice Social Distancing
Inform local authorities of any known cases of NAM-V

Your commitment to following these guidelines WILL SAVE LIVES.

The objective of this Disease Outbreak News is to raise awareness, inform readiness and response efforts, and provide technical guidance for immediate recommended actions.

Regarding the quantum frequency anomaly from the final E-F-Zero-One data burst
[1.9 second silence]
STOKES
We traditionally over complicate quantum superposition. At its most basic, it is just a simple addition of two states to create a new position. However, this simplification relies on an assumed consistency of universal physical law. It understands time on a linear scale, and a given quantum superposition is true in that instance only
[2.3 second silence]
STOKES
But what if we look beyond that? What if the waves that meet and create new superpositions are not from the same timeline? Time has always been the division. They cannot meet as they occurred at a different time, but what if that law is only true while dimensionally restricted? If a wave from a different dimension meets another wave from a different dimension, the superposition that occurs in theory could be identical to a superposition that occurs in our known dimension.
[3.0 second silence]
STOKES
And if the differentiator between these dimensions is the quantum frequency, that dimension's perception of the passage of time, in theory that identical superposition could happen an infinite number of times and, in theory, might even have some predictability. If something is predictable, it can be prepared for. A mechanic can be devised to control and manipulate it. If you know where a particle is going to be in your dimension, you can monitor that superposition for quantum frequency variations and record other timelines. Perhaps the Matter Wave Projector does exactly this. It tethers itself to a superposition that will happen in the future, and when that moment arrives, it switches waves and continues a new journey, in a new frequency, with a new set of universal laws.
[2.8 second silence]
STOKES
This would explain why some teleported artifacts appear to enmesh with each other. Matter from different dimensions could get amalgamated or, or enmeshed as it occupies identical space-time for an instance. Chaos. Unpredictability from a predictable occurrence.

Who knows where or when they ended up? Or if they survived. He may have enmeshed with himself or teleported to a dimension where every physical law is set to a new quantum frequency. He could be 100 years old now or have died in an instant. He could have teleported to another dimension then back to our own where a second superposition on the same wave occurred. He could be in tomorrow, or 1000 years in the past.

Kvitoya Vault closing
Official memo from regjeringen.no
December 9th 2054

Kvitoya Vault no longer accepting samples

News story | Date: 12/08/2054

Since opening in 2032, the Kvitoya DNA Vault safeguards a database of over 3,400,000 DNA samples from the Animalia kingdom. For 22 uninterrupted years, the vault has received DNA samples from 134 gene banks across the globe, processed them, and securely stored them in our state-of-the-art facilities. Each DNA sample has been meticulously evaluated to ensure genetic purity, then categorized to make sure every record we hold is authentic and of the highest quality.

So it is with great pity that we must announce we are officially closing the submission pipeline to the Kvitoya DNA Vault at 12:00 CET on January 1st 2055. We will no longer be accepting any submissions regardless of any prior approval status from the Svalbard adjudication board.

The NAM-V pandemic presents a significant risk to the integrity of our database, and given the abnormally high R0 of NAM-V and unpredictable incubation period, it is essential we protect the vault's contents from further human contact. We cannot risk any contamination of the vault.

It is in these dire circumstances that the prime directive of Kvitoya must be enforced. While we are confident that a vaccine for NAM-V virus will be developed in the coming few months, until such time our database will remain sealed and entirely inaccessible to the outside world.

A team of 58 volunteers have been preparing for this eventuality since January of this year. They have remained in complete isolation to ensure there is no transmission of the disease into the vault, and will now remain there to continue the monumental task of categorizing and maintaining the archives once the doors are closed.

Any samples delivered to our processing center from this point on will be discarded upon receipt without opening. This includes those any samples already in transit.

We will issue a global wire when the vault reopens, which we fully expect to happen later in the year.

Minister of Agriculture and Food

Subject: Unexpected Sigma behavior recorded!

Ellis,

Something remarkable for you to investigate. Prioritize this.

During a routine mission, one of our Sigma generation operatives ordered a retreat of the quad. This falls in line with expected behavior given that the operative had been dosed with standard PRDM boosters and was following an unedited S&D objective stack. However, during the retreat, the operative (who had naturally assumed command by this point) diverted the quad through a security door, ordered a team mate to close the door, then sealed the door using PolyFoam. PolyFoam is a construction material used by the mining industry to temporarily secure structurally unsound bulkheads.

The operative should have had no knowledge of this material, or of the tool that dispenses the foam, and yet they improvised. The only way the operative could have known about the foam is from observation during a previous mission, which in turn means that despite a period of hydrostasis (I'm still trying to find out how long they were in stasis between missions) the operative remembered knowledge of the foam and improvised a new use for it.

It doesn't stop there. On a later mission, a Sigma gen from a different quad exhibited the same behavior. He secured a bulkhead door using a PolyFoam gun he found in a storeroom of mining equipment. This not only indicates a peri-stasis behavior continuance, it implies an unknown method of trans-operative communication. The only way for that behavior to have passed between KSOs is through BIOCOM, and BIOCOM only passes on new behavior after it has been approved by us.

If you could come to Garganta to see the behavior it would help. I can arrange the necessary clearance.

Right. Right, right, right, right… but there are terminals everywhere, everything's connected Henriksson–

Those are proxies! A proxy won’t work.

We don’t control the drop. I don’t have access to that system, that’s what the trojan will do. Unless the Warden has a reason to go to the mainframe, like something breaks and needs fixing, we’ll just have to wait and hope they get a stack update that takes them there.

Mr. Lockwood,

You requested an update. Here it is.

Through my experiments, I have discovered the virus has a multipronged attack strategy, which not only increases the R0, but also allows it to be highly contagious in multiple environments. Infected individual can release create pathogens and fomites through any bodily fluid. The virus has been observed in fluids extracted from anywhere on the patient - sweat, blood, saliva, bile, urine, even in the aqueous and vitreous humors. The virus can also survive for several weeks while airborne or on surfaces. In my control tests, subjects exposed to locations that had been contaminated up to 4 weeks prior to exposure still contracted the virus. This was also true of subjects immersed in various solutions (I tried fresh water, salt water, and several synthetic oils and polymers). 85% of the subjects contracted the virus within a few hours. The remaining 15% who survived other exposure methods contracted the virus when exposed to a vaporous environment heavily dosed with infected fomites.

The parasite that we had previously attributed as the primary carrier of the virus is, in my opinion, merely another victim of this remarkable lifeform. The only difference is the virus does not mutate the parasites, rather it prolongs the life cycle of the parasite indefinitely. The relationship is symbiotic. The parasite carries the virus to new hosts, and the virus helps the parasite live for an extended (and currently unknown) period. Perhaps indefinitely.

The virus is remarkable. It appears to have been perfectly designed to infect regardless of the circumstance. When it finds a host, it induces coughing, sweating, sneezing, and ultimately violent attacks to draw blood and saliva. Without a host, it can transfer itself through any medium. The only test I have not been able to perform yet is in a vacuum, but I am planning such experiments next week as soon as I receive new subjects from Mr. Piros.

Research continues.
