Automated Virtual Intelligence Data Log
Virtual Intelligence Anubis, nicknamed Vinyl
Date: 12/23/2405 12:32 Local time
09:37 local time, Pilot successfully woken and thawed. Preliminary medical examinations shows no signs of life threatening events besides moderate exposure to xenon gases present in atmosphere. Pilot moved to medical center for decontamination and recovery.
10:15, pilot finished recovery and began regularly programmed schedule, intercepted by VI and notified of crash. Pilot began emergency procedural checks as required.
11:48, pilot completed emergency checks. Pilot noted hallway to command deck was severed and inaccessible from within. Pilot moved to hangar bay to suit up in EVA Worker suit to retrieve black box from damaged command deck.
12:00, sun reached highest point in sky, localized time to event and corrected previous log entries.
12:04, Pilot begins EVA.
12:12, Pilot reaches cockpit and grinds through glass pane to access bridge.
12:17, Pilot accesses Black Box terminal.
12:18, Pilot removes Black Box.
12:23, Pilot encounters local after it suddenly appears before him. Scanners unable to identify where specimen originated from, must monitor for more details. Pilot retrieves M56Elite Assault Rifle and fires one round into specimens right forearm. Pilot notices military position of the other creatures nearby and takes cautious aim. Scanners picked up signs of gravitational changes before Cs 1 through 3 became insufficiently armoured to protect against basic firearm. Evidence of further hardlight generator barriers present.
12:25, gravity sensors detect changes in gravity fields around injured specimen, Specimen shows to have teleported from position to position behind hard light generators. Must check sensor arrays and video feeds for errors.
12:27, injured specimen carried away by C4 into constructed base of operations, no further records exist.
12:31, Pilot retrieves Black Box and returns to hangar for decon and disarming.
12:32, Pilot begins records of his own.
“Pilot’s log.. Uhm, whatever time and date it is, I don’t know.” I began once I was desuited and the Black box was properly hooked up to the only remaining working computer in the med-center. “So, I was woken way ahead of schedule due to a crash on an unregistered planet. I have to go over Vinyl’s recordings for what happened because records are showing that there was absolutely nothing out in space at the time of our crash. When I say absolutely not, I mean there was absolutely nothing, no stars, no planets, not even background radiation. Vi is absolutely sure there’s nothing wrong with her programming but i’m going to go over her myself with a fine toothed comb.
“Okay, so after I was awoken, I was notified of the crash, which, should have been apparent due to the incline of the ship. Apparently the Gravity Generators were still working properly and powered down to equalize the gravity with that of the planet. That being said, i’m confined to a Sektan exo-suit due to the extreme gravity of the planet; Vi says its over 3 times stronger than Earth’s. I plan to go over the gravity Generators to try and get some reverse gravity in here, try to equalize the G-forces out a bit.
“After my trip to medical and the updates of what the VI had done during and after the crash, I went down to the hangar and got myself suited up in an EVA suit with the Exo-skeleton built over it. I think I have a problem with my head that the auto-docs didn’t pick up, I don’t remember most of the welding process. I just had parts showing up in my hand to use, and then i’d black out. I wake up a second later and the part was properly installed. I’m going to have to get a CT scan now, shouldn’t be too bad as long as it didn’t get fucked up in the crash.”
“There are actual intelligent lifeforms out there! Holy shit I can’t believe there are actual intelligent lifeforms out there! And I shot one! I actually kind of feel bad about that, though… I have no idea where it came from, local radar didn’t show anything approaching so when it suddenly appeared before me I reacted and shot it in the leg. I made sure to only wing the poor thing so it shouldn’t die but still… It was cute and I shot it without really thinking… Vinyl figured then was a good idea to tell me about all the other ones watching me, which because of the limited field of vision the Work-class EVA suit gives me, I was pretty much completely unaware of them. Anyways, after nothing happened and they didn’t attack me, I disarmed and returned to the ship with the Black Box. I’m due to go over the recorded events soon, I just gotta get some food in me.”
“Personal note, Vinyl seems to be displaying some strange behavior in her programming. I thought I heard humming, like, actual musical humming…”
