PREFONTAINE 12.JUL.14
re: The Many

It's clear that this thing I'm trapped inside of is intimately linked with all of the organisms I observed aboard the Von Braun. Strike that... this creature IS the same organism. Perhaps the best way to describe it, or perhaps the only way I can comprehend it, is that this organism serves to perform the highest mental functions of the entire species. The smaller creatures exist only to enact its will... no strike that, too. All of the specimens act as a whole, like different organs in a single body, with this entity acting primarily as a brain. If one were to destroy this large specimen, I wonder, would it snuff out all the others?

re: What's going on?

Something is going on. Korenchkin has sealed himself off in deck 3. He keeps calling for people to go down there one by one. Vogel, Boynton, Swiderek. None of them have come back. If they call for me... I don't know what I'm gonna do. And Bronson is starting to make a lot of noise: 'You're the senior flight officer... you have to act.' I would... if I knew what the hell was going on.

re: Turret problems

Due to the tenuous situation as of late, I've ordered security defense turrets placed at key locations. Yesterday, one went off accidentally and critically injured crewman Wells. However, somebody must have tampered with the Xerxes security sub-systems because now my technicians are unable to take them off line. Until we get to the bottom of this, I've ordered all security turrets recalled to storage... but now I can't get in touch with the team I sent out to do the recall.
