MISSION DATA TRANSFERRED FROM PADD to SciPADD.

Tasked with finding a new facility in sector K10, I have been given the task of carrying the communications array for the Engineering team. Notes will be taken en route.

2 unknowns have been encountered. They have been identified as refugees and sent towards the Bunker.

Despite being told to remain quiet, the American with us seems to be making a lot of noise and is keen on introducing his friend to everyone.

The route to the point for the comms array was quiet with the only incident being on FEF member lost their gun, myself, the person in question and a medic remained behind to secure the weapon. It was quickly located and we rejoined the group.

Shortly after reaching the location a call of incoming was made and was quickly determined to be a false alarm. The American did not recognise a person in the darkness and proceeded to shoot their target to determine if they are friend or foe, no reaction from the nanites indicated friend. This seems a little wasteful to me

While the array was being constructed one of the recon specialists left the group to scout ahead, no word was heard for some time but he appears to have survived as he was rediscovered near outpost K10.

Once the array was constructed the order to move forward was given, 2 bunker scouts were encountered, initially believed hostile they appeared to have information. The American seemed keen to trade and has made the best sales pitch for a Med-Patch I have ever seen or heard.

I have received advice from the friendly Russian fellow that a weapon and armour may serve me well on the surface. I will look into this as needed.

The primary objective building was discovered at 2100, the building appears to be over 500 years old with >80% integrity. The outside access is a lift and airlock and the building was filled with toxins. A number of engineering and scientists went inside to clear the building. Gas masks were issued to all without, including myself. NOTE TO SELF: GAS MASK!!!

Entry gained at 2113
Building under quarantine due to toxin levels. Alarms sounded at 2-minute intervals starting at 2117, ~5 alarms sounded.
Building cleared for all personnel at approx 2200.

2518-10-06

For some strange reason, everyone seems to believe I’m called Miriam. This had started before the testing, late last night but it’s getting slightly annoying. I have been told we are to do something with C7 silos and this is a high-risk operation. Notes will be minimal, if at all.

All samples were returned successfully, one team is under heavy fire, and another was under sniper fire.

Laboratory log.

400ml of chem required. Mixture must be Ph6. Alexia Belyakova has taken lead. Started at 1512.
1514: Operation suspended to assist silo team 1.
1518: Operation resumed. Balancing containers to 400ml
1524: Containers balanced.
1528: Adding oxidiser (10ml) to each container.
1529: Oxidiser added. Testing ph – 2 above and 1 below requirements.
1542: Begin balancing Container 2 using a 40:1 solution.
1551: Container 2 balanced by Mirana White. Starting container 1.
1556: Container 3 also being prepared. Container 1 by Alexia Belyakova, Container 3 by Ivan Kirov.
1600: Container 3 and 2 ready. Groups regather and move out to return coolant to the silos.
1620: Approx: Power to facilities restored across all 3 points. Stabilised at 53%, 14% differential max during the stabilisation period.
2200: Toxic/Biohazard alarm active in Facility. Evac for all without gas masks started, myself included.
2202: Building cleared for entry, cause linked to experiment by Alexia.
2208: Representives of The Children of Eden are approaching the facility, orders have been given to deny them access. Various FEF members have prepared for a fight.

!!!!: Level 2 access was opened up by the computer as we had enough successful candidates for the DreamScape Project. Team to investigate consisted of Mirana White, Ivan Kirov, Vladismir, Vassili, Angel, and Tower Hill. Rooms showed evidence of incineration, found was various bones, a skeleton, potential brainwave scanners and a number of items of biological interest (3 eyes, kidney, heart, 4 Petri dishes). All currently in the care of Alexia and Vassily as appropriate. Also present was a “Psyker” – believed to be Subject 5 or the fired assistant from the DreamScape3 program – Codename Witch/PsykerWitch). She laid waste to all in the group bar myself. See Audio Log in Addendum 1-B

Theories are I was no threat as I carry no weaponry, I hid behind Angel evading her power, I got lucky.

Bullets had no effect on her and physical weaponry didn’t even seem to get close. Once she had decimated the group, she ripped off the door to the lift shaft and escaped, damaging the lift.

2518-10-07

A mission was put together to attempt to take down the entity codenamed PsykerWitch. She has taken down a number of drones and has been identified as a threat to all. Her movement has been tracked to the west.

3 corpses have been found en route. They appear to have attempted to maul their own eyes out. Shortly after a radio transmission was received stating to abort the mission. Bunker confirmed no such message was transmitted, its believed to originated from the PsykerWitch,

Theories: She affected the minds of those present to hear the order from the radio. PsykerWitch obtained a radio. PsykerWitch controlled a person with a radio.

After moving further west while under fire, I bunked down while we were under heavy fire. Fire stopped for a short time and Vladismir’s nanites turned red, as I questioned him he attacked me.

When I was roused I was told the PsykerWitch has assaulted the group. Several people including Vladismir were down. One of the engineers was able to track her and a second plan to attack and disable her was made. Tower was sent to her location to bait her back to us, however, she had left. Rigger informs me something around her neck was destroyed.

Addendum 1 – DreamScape 3

Facility appeared to be used 500 years ago for a project titled DreamScape. The DreamScape project appeared to have a few objectives in mind. The primary objective seems to be to recreate the dreams of people and using certain subjects, actually rebuild and enter dreams. While some issues were encountered during the initial phases the project seemed to the largely successful, with the exception of 3 subjects – 1, 3a and 5. Subject 1 escaped during live operations and appeared to sabotage the project, completely ignored by the guards present. Subject 3a destroyed testing equipment and inserted a shard of glass through their skull and into their frontal lobe. Subject 5 is currently codenamed Witch/PsykerWitch and is considered hostile to Bunker Ascendant currently.

It could be possible this unit could be used for creation of “super soldiers”. Body parts were found in B2 which appeared to be vastly enhanced and efficient. Given the strength PsykerWitch displayed on her escape, its possible she has some enhancement herself. Given there is no Bunker record of this facility, additional deep scanning of recovered samples recommended.

Having performed 3 of the tests, and observed all but one subject in the tests – I feel this may be worth replicating for advancing Bunker Military forces.

Addendum 1-A – Testing Assistent/Subject 5/PsykerWitch

It’s unknown exactly who the PsykerWitch was in the records we obtained from the research facility, it is safe to say she is approximately 460 years old at this time. I believe she may have augmented internal organs as indicated by the recovered organs from CryoStasis, giving her enhanced metabolic rates which would allow her to recover faster. Given the amount of energy potential she has used in dispatching 5 of the team that first encountered her, taking down a number of drones and seemingly putting up a good fight while I was unconscious, I would have believed she would need to recover for a longer duration than she actually did. Alternatively, she has not used her full power at this time which is incredibly worrying.

Description: Female of average height, incredibly pale wearing a white lab coat and covered in fresh blood. Has one blue eye and one normal eye.

Addendum 2 – Testing Information.

Addendum 2-A – The Tests

TEST 1 – Fitness/Co-ordination

Test One took place in a boxed area, holding two different coloured “lightsabres” with objectives and obstructions coming towards you.
Red and Blue blocks required you to swing the appropriate sabre through the block in the direction indicated. Some blocks had no directions and could be struck from any side.
Red areas were hazardous and had to be dodged by the subject but the sabres could enter this area.
Black mine like objects had to be avoided by the sabres but the subject could be hit by them.

TEST 2 – Fitness/Co-ordination

Test Two took place on a defence platform and the subject would be armed with 2 guns, the option of a shield and three “lives”. Only one subject successfully found the shield.
Enemies would appear in a series of waves, increasing in difficulty and number as the waves progress.
Bullets could be dodged by moving the around the platform and in some cases even shot out of the air. The majority of subjects tested failed on Wave 8 where a shielded enemy with spray fire was encountered.

TEST 3 – Mental Acuity.

Test Three took place in an old mechanics garage, fixing cars by following instructions given by an avatar and an instruction board. Almost all subjects stumbled on Car 2, during a sequence when a light had to be removed and recoloured. While the test was modified for me, I found it quite enjoyable and almost meditative.

TEST 4 – Emotional Categorisation

Test Five took place inside a fictional scientists lab and the subject was encouraged to explore and interact with the lab. After 10 minutes the subject would be asked to stop and describe their most memorable experience. The range of responses was interesting, as was watching the subjects find various areas.

TEST 5 – Mental Stability.

Test Five was quite a simple one, simply “ride” a rollercoaster. No movement or control was required from the subjects. They would be monitored by myself and Alexia for emotional reactions and the emotion experienced most would be recorded. I was quite curious about the surrounding world that had been built as well as the various incidents that happened during the ride. I must question some FEF members lack of reaction to some parts, however.

Edits

It appears I got the name of the Biologist wrong, report updated. I really should stop trying to overhear names and just going on that.
