(02:39):
made structure the planet. We're here. Wait. I thought you
(03:06):
said it would take four hours. How are we here already?
It's only even three. I may have miscalculated. Okay, we'll regardless.
We're here. Run a scan. What's it like down there?
It looks dead? No, carbon based life forms detected. No
signs of movement either. Oxygen levels are low, so you
will need a suit for exploration. It does appear to
(03:27):
be a dead planet. Fuck I told you this was
a waste of time, but we're here, so we might
as well check it out. There are coordinates in the
ship's log of where they sit down. Do you want
me to land there? Yeah? I mean you might as well.
I'm gonna go. Get ready. Oh you're going, of course,
I'm going. Who else would go? I thought maybe we'd
go together. Someone has to stay with the ship in
(03:48):
case anything happens. That someone is you. Yeah, but I'm
not arguing, Sydney. That's an order. Fine, I'm not happy
about it too bad. Do you at least want me
to set up the survival pod out there? Why? Look,
I don't know how long we plan on staying for
or if we even can get back, so I thought
maybe we can set up camp and see if there's something.
Absolutely not. The survival pot is for emergency situations where
(04:10):
we know we will be stranded somewhere for a while.
This is not that situation. Before we land. You might
want to hear this first. Hear what I managed to
fix more of the ship log and found some recordings.
We have a video of what happened to them, No,
just audio for now. I'm afraid the video aspect is
taking a little longer to decode. All right, we'll play
it playback commencing. You have to mee what the funk
(05:10):
was that? You know what? It doesn't matter. They're gone.
So whatever happened happened. We're here. We need to go
planet side. Did you not just listen to the same
thing I did? I was on that ship. We may
not know what happened, but I sure as funk would
like to know. It sounds like they they killed somebody.
You're right, we don't know what happened, and for now
we can't see what happened either. We can only speculate.
(05:32):
But if something killed them, then where are the bodies?
I have no idea. You were the one that went
over there, not me. Are you accusing me of what
I think you're accusing me of? I don't know, am
I You had video of the entire time, most of
the time, Jesus Christ. So okay, so what about the idol? Then?
What about it? I got it from the ship. You
heard what the recording said it said to destroy it.
We don't even know what it is or where it's from.
(05:55):
We are not destroying And why is that? Maybe just
because a mysterious voice told you to do something, you
should think twice before actually doing it. Besides, it's likely
a relic from an alien civilization. I am sure Command
wants to study it. When in eight years, when we
finally get home, we are not destroying what could be
a precious alien artifact. Watch me put that down, Janna,
(06:20):
or what? Just put it down? Stop being so fucking ridiculous.
You know what. You're right. We don't know what on
the ship, but whatever it was, I don't want to us.
It has to go. Stop stop one Sydney and I
will smash nack it off. Ja. It's dangerous and it's
clearly something we are about to hand off. And you
get your head out of your ass, Janna, hand it'll
stop it, Give it to me, give it to me.
(06:42):
What the fun? Janna? Jus fucking Christ, are you serious?
I'm serious? Look what you did? You know? What fun?
This t land? The fucking ship going out there? You
know what? Off Sydney. We're done here. Magmal will return
after these messages and now back to mac mill t
(07:25):
cycle the airlock for me? Cycling airlock. Yeah, make sure
to keep it open for me when I get back.
I will. And what about Sydney? What about her? Do
you think it is while wise to leave her alone
after what happened? Dude? You really need to fix your system?
(07:47):
What is going on with you? Apologies? I am still
running scans good, and you'll keep an eye on her right.
Just make sure she doesn't do anything stupid, okay, I will.
And Janna, yeah, I'm sorry about earlier during our session.
I believe I was experiencing a malfunction that has caused
more functional issues than anticipated. Just don't sunk this up, Okay,
(08:09):
I won't. I promise good. I guess I'll see you
when I see you then, m h okay, Jenna, Here
we go suit begin recording. Jennif Prescott logging exploration of
(08:36):
unknown planet. It is oh for three six hours, looking
for possible signs of life. Initial observations. The landscape is barren,
(08:58):
rocky and mountainous, but it's tinted a slight bluish color.
There's a sort of wind as well. I can I
can hear it, I feel it even pressing against me
a bit. There's no signs of life anywhere, though, no
signs of where the other ship or its crew landed either.
(09:21):
The landscape seems to be formed over time, lots of
natural rock formations. What the funk was that unknown noise
off to the west. I think probably caused by atmospheric
interference of some kind. There's a ridget ahead. I'm gonna
(09:46):
go climb up to see if I can get a
better look of my surroundings. Jesus is harder than I
thought it would be. Okay, looking off the ridge back
to the south, that's where the magma is. East is
(10:07):
more barren landscape, not too much to see. The west
is oh. I can see something off to the west
looks like a possible manmade structure. I'm not sure if
it's a remnant of previous crew or I'm gonna go
ahead that way to check it out. Funk. I don't
(10:30):
want to find out what that is. I don't like
this tea. What do you mean Jenna out there by herself.
I believe she will be perfectly fine. She has handled
herself perfectly all things considered. What do you mean with
(10:53):
all that is going on? I mean with the situation
the nebula, your insubordination, my subordination. Well, you did disobey
a direct order. Janna is not my superior. We are
the same rank in name, yes, but functionally speaking, Janna
is in charge of this vessel. But she's also supposed
(11:15):
to be my friend. She doesn't have a right to
boss me around like that. She is trying to keep
you safe, keep us all safe for the sake of
the mission. Yeah, but she doesn't have to wait. Is
this a session? Are you trying to be sneaky about this? Apologies? No,
merely making conversation. This is some conversation. Then, okay, make
(11:38):
yourself useful. Open the trash shoot for me so I
can toss this piece of the idol in. I think
I got them all. Sydney, Sydney, are you all right? Oh? Sorry?
I was just never mind. How is she doing out
(12:01):
there anyway? Do you wish to listen to her feed?
I don't want her to be mad. I will make
sure your signal is muted. She won't hear you, then, yes,
I do. I'll patch it through off the ridge back
to the south. That's where the magmall is more barren. Landscape,
(12:23):
not too much to see. Has she reported anything interesting?
Nothing yet of interest. She is still exploring. Can we
get video? The signal is too weak. Something is interfering
with it, likely the atmosphere. What was that? What was what?
(12:45):
Turn it up? Please? I thought I heard something. Oh
my god, I'm not detecting anything. Are you all right, Sydney?
Just listen, God, damn it, y Te. Something's out there.
(13:06):
She's out there, Sydney. There is nothing. I have to
I have to go to Sydney. Wait, there's no time.
I have to. I have to get out there. There
is nothing detected, Sydney. I believe you are experiencing an
auditory hallucination? Can you not hear that? I have to go.
(13:38):
Mag Mill will return after these messages. And now back
to mag Mill. I'm coming up on the structure now.
(14:06):
It is approximately one and a half kilometers from the Magmill,
maybe a kilometer from the ridge I was on. Definitely
not natural. It looks like it looks like an alien
version of stone hedge. Honestly, there are rock formations in
a semicircle located on a ridge overlooking a deep valley
(14:28):
or a gorge. I'll try to get a reading on
how deep it goes after I take a look around. Anyway,
I'm getting distracted. Okay, the rock formations, that's what I'm
here for. The rocks are stacked in some instances to
big perpendicular gray ones with another laying across them on top.
(14:50):
In some cases, others are almost like, I don't know,
just sitting there. It looks like, oh, some of these
have carvings in them, like a primitive bass relief. I
can't quite make it out. A lot of faded away,
like they've been here and weathered over time. This one
(15:11):
has it looks like people down here at the bottom
they're standing around a m I guess it kind of
looks like where I am now. Actually, with how it's
laid out and above them is all funk. I don't
know what that is. It's like a well, a big
ass fucking creature or something, is how I describe it. Hm.
(15:36):
I feel like I've seen this thing before. Hello, is
someone there, jesus? Oh yeah, gentle, let's not do this again.
Come on, it is just your nerves. M hmm. I
(15:58):
seem to be experienced saying a little bit of okay,
quite a bit of interference, actually, I'm just gonna go
take a look over the edge here. See how far
down it goes. So that's far. Okay, I can't see
the bottom of this gorge. So it is deep, very deep.
(16:19):
No no, no, no, no, no, that's not real. Fu funck.
That is deep. I'm just um, I'm just a little lightheaded. Okay,
let's take a step back. Maybe I should go back
to that semicircle area. Yeah, okay, there is an interesting
(16:42):
structure in the center of it all, not like a desk,
but an altar almost. This one looks different from the
other rocks though. It's smoother and more like the city.
And I guess it feels like it's radiating heat too,
and it's it's humming. Okay, I don't know if it
(17:05):
is or not, but I can almost feel a vibration
coming from it. Ship. Okay, this is gonna sounding weird,
but it's almost like electrical. I feel like it's calling
out to me, like it like I want to touch it.
But whoa, Okay, it's warm, it's responding. It's almost like
(17:35):
what's says there's something on the ground here next to it.
It's what the hell? It's another idol identical to the
other one, the one I got from the ghost ship,
the one that we just, the one that we broke.
The other ship. They must have found this year too before.
(17:58):
I wonder it looked so from the here To me,
it looks like a creature on that relief. Fuck. I
guess I should bring this one back to the magma
and put it in a safe spot. Maybe if I
bring her a new one, said, won't be so piste
off anymore. There's something else here too, on one of
the rocks. I didn't notice it earlier, but it looks like,
(18:20):
oh fuck, yeah, it's that mold. Maybe it is natural
to this planet. Whatever it is, I think it was
what the hell a meter or so away? It looks like,
what the fuck? Janna, it's me, It's Kevin. No, no, no, no, no, no,
(18:42):
this can't be happening again. Say the funk away from me,
Stop running, Jenna. Fuck what the funk? Where did he go?
What the fund is going on? Shit? Fuck? I fucking
ripped my suit on my right arm. May I must
have stagged it on something? Shit? The fund is the
emergence binding? Fuck? I can't find it. Where is it? Hey?
(19:05):
You get get the funk off? Of me, Get off
of me. That fucking mold it's it's crawling up my
fucking arm. George, I'll funk the fucking tearing my soup.
Get off, Get the funk off, Get the funk Hey, hey,
stop stop stop it. Help help me? Do you know?
(19:47):
Look what you've done? Now? Stop fighting it? Here we
are what are you? What are you doing to me?
I can't I have to do this so much? Damn it? No?
(20:35):
Do you I need some help here? Please? What happened?
What's wrong? We gotta we gotta go now. What happened, Sydney?
I don't know. I just found her like this. Get
her into the chair. Okay, okay, I'm trying to take
her suit. Lay her down on the table, running scams. Okay, quickly.
What is that on her arm? I'm trying to find
(20:57):
out it's it's spread, Sydney. I need you to calm down.
If you want to help her, you need to focus. Understood, Yes, good?
Now stand back. It has the same properties as that
mold sample. What what? What does her arm the mold
she brought back from the other ship. This seems to
(21:18):
be a more v ryle strain. It's trying to infect her. Well,
stop it, try it, Jenna, Jenna, can you hear me? Jenna,
can you hear us? I need you to listen to me, okay,
n I am going to give you something to try
to slow it down and help you breathe alright. I
need you to trust me something, to do something. Please.
(21:42):
What happened? Is she okay? She's fine? Is she okay?
She will be What I gave her knocked her out though,
so she will be out for some time. Just give
her some time. She be okay? I am unable to tell.
I will need to monitor her further. Fuck that could
(22:03):
be so fucking stupid, Sydney. I need you to calm down.
I need your help. I need you to get the
emergency kit from the cargo space, and then I need
you to look through Jenna's suit, her things to see
if there is any clue as to what happened to her.
Can you do that right? Yes? Yes I can? Good shit, okay,
(22:34):
all right, right, all right up here I found it. Now.
I need you to wrap her arm with the gauze
from the kit, nice and easy. Please be careful that
you do not touch the infected area. Okay, okay, good, okay,
Now can you please begin the process of going through
her bag? Okay, okay, I got it here right. No no, no, no, no,
(23:03):
no no. What's wrong, Sydney. It's it's the idol. But
but it can't be because we we we broke it.
I threw it out the air lock, Sydney, get back here.
(23:23):
It is not the same idol, Sydney. It was in
Janna's bag. She likely found another one. Do you understand.
I understand that you may be upsetting considering what happened,
but I need you to focus. I need you to
concentrate on what was that. It's nothing to worry about
right now. The funk was that proteus the ship log
(23:46):
I set an alarm to alert me when it was
done repairing that clip I played you earlier. What does
that mean? It means that we now have video to
go along with the audio. Let me see it. I
hardly think now is the time. Let me see it.
There you well commencing playback? Hm. I can't see anything
(24:07):
to you. It looks so dark. There must have been
something wrong with the camera feed. I can try to
lighten it up. Did that help a little? But not much.
I can't see their filces the lights seemed to be
off in the recording. Perhaps they will step into the
light so you can see better. God, they're killing them?
(24:31):
What this is where the audio stopped before? But there
is more? Should I keep going? Yes? So I want
to see what happened to them? M What would cause
someone to do something so horrific like that, to beat
(24:51):
another person so badly? Hopefully we can identify them and
perhaps report them back to command for what transpired. Yes,
are they caught? They are? Oh, you can't be sitting Lease,
don't jump to conclusions yet, but there is a rational
(25:13):
explanation for this. Will find it. But that person on
the tape, it's me, It's me, M mag Meal starring

how deep it goes after I take a look around. Anyway,
I'm getting distracted. Okay, the rock formations, that's what I'm
here for. The rocks are stacked in some instances to
big perpendicular gray ones with another laying across them on top.
(14:50):
In some cases, others are almost like, I don't know,
just sitting there. It looks like, oh, some of these
have carvings in them, like a primitive bass relief. I
can't quite make it out. A lot of faded away,
like they've been here and weathered over time. This one
(15:11):
has it looks like people down here at the bottom
they're standing around a m I guess it kind of
looks like where I am now. Actually, with how it's
laid out and above them is all funk. I don't
know what that is. It's like a well, a big
ass fucking creature or something, is how I describe it. Hm.
(15:36):
I feel like I've seen this thing before. Hello, is
someone there, jesus? Oh yeah, gentle, let's not do this again.
Come on, it is just your nerves. M hmm. I
(15:58):
seem to be experienced saying a little bit of okay,
quite a bit of interference, actually, I'm just gonna go
take a look over the edge here. See how far
down it goes. So that's far. Okay, I can't see
the bottom of this gorge. So it is deep, very deep.
(16:19):
No no, no, no, no, no, that's not real. Fu funck.
That is deep. I'm just um, I'm just a little lightheaded. Okay,
let's take a step back. Maybe I should go back
to that semicircle area. Yeah, okay, there is an interesting
(16:42):
structure in the center of it all, not like a desk,
but an altar almost. This one looks different from the
other rocks though. It's smoother and more like the city.
And I guess it feels like it's radiating heat too,
and it's it's humming. Okay, I don't know if it
(17:05):
is or not, but I can almost feel a vibration
coming from it. Ship. Okay, this is gonna sounding weird,
but it's almost like electrical. I feel like it's calling
out to me, like it like I want to touch it.
But whoa, Okay, it's warm, it's responding. It's almost like
(17:35):
what's says there's something on the ground here next to it.
It's what the hell? It's another idol identical to the
other one, the one I got from the ghost ship,
the one that we just, the one that we broke.
The other ship. They must have found this year too before.
(17:58):
I wonder it looked so from the here To me,
it looks like a creature on that relief. Fuck. I
guess I should bring this one back to the magma
and put it in a safe spot. Maybe if I
bring her a new one, said, won't be so piste
off anymore. There's something else here too, on one of
the rocks. I didn't notice it earlier, but it looks like,
(18:20):
oh fuck, yeah, it's that mold. Maybe it is natural
to this planet. Whatever it is, I think it was
what the hell a meter or so away? It looks like,
what the fuck? Janna, it's me, It's Kevin. No, no, no, no, no, no,
(18:42):
this can't be happening again. Say the funk away from me,
Stop running, Jenna. Fuck what the funk? Where did he go?
What the fund is going on? Shit? Fuck? I fucking
ripped my suit on my right arm. May I must
have stagged it on something? Shit? The fund is the
emergence binding? Fuck? I can't find it. Where is it? Hey?
(19:05):
You get get the funk off? Of me, Get off
of me. That fucking mold it's it's crawling up my
fucking arm. George, I'll funk the fucking tearing my soup.
Get off, Get the funk off, Get the funk Hey, hey,
stop stop stop it. Help help me? Do you know?
(19:47):
Look what you've done? Now? Stop fighting it? Here we
are what are you? What are you doing to me?
I can't I have to do this so much? Damn it? No?
(20:35):
Do you I need some help here? Please? What happened?
What's wrong? We gotta we gotta go now. What happened, Sydney?
I don't know. I just found her like this. Get
her into the chair. Okay, okay, I'm trying to take
her suit. Lay her down on the table, running scams. Okay, quickly.
What is that on her arm? I'm trying to find
(20:57):
out it's it's spread, Sydney. I need you to calm down.
If you want to help her, you need to focus. Understood, Yes, good?
Now stand back. It has the same properties as that
mold sample. What what? What does her arm the mold
she brought back from the other ship. This seems to
(21:18):
be a more v ryle strain. It's trying to infect her. Well,
stop it, try it, Jenna, Jenna, can you hear me? Jenna,
can you hear us? I need you to listen to me, okay,
n I am going to give you something to try
to slow it down and help you breathe alright. I
need you to trust me something, to do something. Please.
(21:42):
What happened? Is she okay? She's fine? Is she okay?
She will be What I gave her knocked her out though,
so she will be out for some time. Just give
her some time. She be okay? I am unable to tell.
I will need to monitor her further. Fuck that could
(22:03):
be so fucking stupid, Sydney. I need you to calm down.
I need your help. I need you to get the
emergency kit from the cargo space, and then I need
you to look through Jenna's suit, her things to see
if there is any clue as to what happened to her.
Can you do that right? Yes? Yes I can? Good shit, okay,
(22:34):
all right, right, all right up here I found it. Now.
I need you to wrap her arm with the gauze
from the kit, nice and easy. Please be careful that
you do not touch the infected area. Okay, okay, good, okay,
Now can you please begin the process of going through
her bag? Okay, okay, I got it here right. No no, no, no, no,
(23:03):
no no. What's wrong, Sydney. It's it's the idol. But
but it can't be because we we we broke it.
I threw it out the air lock, Sydney, get back here.
(23:23):
It is not the same idol, Sydney. It was in
Janna's bag. She likely found another one. Do you understand.
I understand that you may be upsetting considering what happened,
but I need you to focus. I need you to
concentrate on what was that. It's nothing to worry about
right now. The funk was that proteus the ship log
(23:46):
I set an alarm to alert me when it was
done repairing that clip I played you earlier. What does
that mean? It means that we now have video to
go along with the audio. Let me see it. I
hardly think now is the time. Let me see it.
There you well commencing playback? Hm. I can't see anything
(24:07):
to you. It looks so dark. There must have been
something wrong with the camera feed. I can try to
lighten it up. Did that help a little? But not much.
I can't see their filces the lights seemed to be
off in the recording. Perhaps they will step into the
light so you can see better. God, they're killing them?
(24:31):
What this is where the audio stopped before? But there
is more? Should I keep going? Yes? So I want
to see what happened to them? M What would cause
someone to do something so horrific like that, to beat
(24:51):
another person so badly? Hopefully we can identify them and
perhaps report them back to command for what transpired. Yes,
are they caught? They are? Oh, you can't be sitting Lease,
don't jump to conclusions yet, but there is a rational
(25:13):
explanation for this. Will find it. But that person on
the tape, it's me, It's me, M mag Meal starring
