“This might be the last of the colony ship Marathon. Without
warning, we came under attack. All of the people with me in the mess
hall died. Why was I spared? Why only me? My friends were in there
with me. The next thing I knew was that the kitchen area exploded with
me being thrown back to the closing escape doors.
Fire was everywhere. The gravity failed, sealing the doom of my
friends. Fire in zero g(ravity) is like a liquid. Swallowing up
anything in its way. I can’t stay here. They saw me come here, but
they think I’m trapped in here. They don’t know about the secret way
out behind” *#730ERROR#23# 29#$33#$3#&

“...an’t believe we survived that blast. Me, Dues, Jane, and Bob
managed to hack back into the door control to get into the sewers. We
believe we’re safe until we figure out what to do next...
We found another of those dead spots... Everything dead, bullet shells
making it impossible to walk without stepping on one. Believe it or
not, these areas are even more dangerous than the ones with these
aliens. The want whoever (Unable to make a guess about who) is doing
this dead. We’re not sure though... he kills the aliens along with
other BoBs. This is good and bad for us.W3 pl@n 2” @#3@8d#hfi#f

“The plan failed. Dues is dead, and Jane is hurt seriously. We
can’t move her. The good news is that the MADDs started up. Someone
here must like us. We’ve assigned one to protect Jane. Me and Bob are
going to see if we can find a med-bay. Jane needs a doctor, but we’re
the best she’s got.”

Time after last post; 30 minutes. Area; Barracks AFS-2
“We got the med-pack, and are following the directions as best we
can, but who wrote this digi-paper? An idiot. With the wound cleaned,
it’s hard to tell if it was better before or after we cleaned it.
There’s nothing on here on alien caused burns... I just hope that
they’re the same. We need a new p[ln. s)Pmth!n^

“We’ve left Jane with the MADD. Its the best we could do... And if
we don’t do this, we’ll have done nothing. We’ve decided to do a
suicide run through to the slavers ships. We’ve figured out that
they’re taking the other BoBs into there ships. We’ve got to get them
out. From now on, we’re switching the the tablet term(inal)
Hopefully we can still upload to the mainframe from the ships.”

“The suicide run worked, surprisingly. We got on their ship with
little to no trouble. I wonder if they let us on. What are they up
too? ( transmission skips to forward point) The ships going in on its
own! The cargo bay is empty. No one is there. Not a single one.”
