DECK 4 – OPERATIONS C

Subject: re: Bronson



I hacked into two of the Sim Units yesterday, and for the love of God, I don't know why... I felt... compelled by some power... My mind and my body are... changing... but they know it's me... they just can't prove it... The next Sim Unit that goes down, Bronson and her men will come for me... but I'll be ready... She may have guns and hatred on her side, but I am one of Many.

Doc - I don't feel right about any of this. I still don't understand why you asked me to mess with the memory restoration on that grunt. Why didn't you want him to remember volunteering for this gig? He did volunteer for the implants, right? Every email from you gets stranger and stranger... it's like you're not even the same person anymore.

Something is taking over this ship. The Sim Units on this deck are being diverted for reasons unknown. I know it's somehow connected to the larger picture and whatever is happening since they landed on Tau Ceti... My men look at me like I'm crazy, but it is my responsibility to safeguard this ship and its crew. Screw Anatoly, screw Diego and screw whatever poisonous influence has desecrated this vessel... I will not abandon my post or my charge...

I feel you men aren't as dedicated to the mission as you need to be. You will do your duty. The traitors in Ops have still been unable to get the Sim Unit back online. If the situation is not remedied by 0600, we shall recon in force and ensure its remedy. I've changed the weapons lockup code to 13433. Fall in at 0500. Anything that gets in your way, human or not, kill without pause or remorse.

Subject: re: Crystal gifts



They've given me two gifts... isn't that marvelous... two little shards of crystal... it's very, very sharp, and when I strike it, it sings to me... They want it to sing to Sgt. Bronson... I go there now to share my gift with her... they're very fragile, but very sharp!
