UNIT T 144-13

Running primary diagnostics…scanning…scanning…

Establishing secure connection with {Theseus Crew}… Connection established. OPERATOR logged as [BATES]. Two hours till Mission Abort.

All systems and subroutines operational. Primary directives listed by [OPERATOR: BATES] as
“Protect insertion team. Engage unidentified hostiles with :lethal: force.”

Negative hostile scans at shuttle dock. UNIT T 144-11 data stream at 97.3% capacity. Rectifying connection… Done. Tesla readings at LETHAL levels.

Awaiting command…

Direct feed to [OPERATOR:BATES]. UNIT T 144-11 moving deeper into insertion zone. {S. Keeton}, {S. James} displaying enhanced stress identifiers.

OPERATOR Command: Record tesla spike at 12 T…Done.

Initial scans of insertion zones inconclusive. Team preparing analysis. {S. Keeton} planting spring pads for radiation defense. UNIT T 144- 11 suffering minor stream issues…Compensation unsuccessful…Tesla levels at 3.2 T.

OPERATOR Command: Combat mode engaged. Set to scan for hostiles in direct vicinity of Insertion team. Priority override. UNIT T 144-11 to watch North hallway. This unit to watch South.

Negative hostiles….

Negative hostiles…

{S. James} acting erratic, with elevated vitals. No hostiles detected in insertion area. Re-checking optics for radiation clouding… no effect.

Negative hostiles…

Radiation levels: CRITICAL

Major Tesla spike. Insertion team in danger. Elevated heartbeat in :ALL: team members. No hostiles detected. Directive incompatible with immediate options…

Negative hostiles…

Projectile directed at {I. Szpindel}! Tracking for intercept…negative hostile action. Standing down.

Shielding bell engaged by {S. Keeton}. Relocating to make room for insertion team.Radiation threshold spiking at 98%. Primary sensory modules failing. Secondary optics online.

TRACKING: {S. James}

Potential risk: . Waiting for OPERATOR…

Negative hostiles…

All team members inside field shielding except [OPERATOR:BATES]. Unit T 144- 08 deeper in site suffering critical systems failure.

CRITICAL ALERT: Signal from OPERATOR failing. Displaying reduced life signs. Move to new directive?

Negative hostiles…

Hostile detected!
Target locked! Weapons systems prepped for engagement…
Negative… target lost…Tesla anomaly recorded to active HUDs. Attempting to re-establish signal with OPERATOR…in 3…2…1…

OPERATOR still unresponsive…

{Theseus crew} network unreliable in current conditions. Data streams are cold.

Attempting re-connect…failed.

Emergency re-boot of critical systems? Probability of success: 65%
Shutting down…

Running speed diagnostics…Main drivers failed…Primary Optics failed…Secondary Optics Online…Rad Shielding at threshold.

[OPERATOR: BANKS] connection requested…established. {Theseus Crew} network is Online. Connection successful.

UNIT T 144-11 stream initiated. Most systems peaking at 47% efficiency.

OPERATOR Command: Initiate combat scans of immediate area. Lock down insertion site from secondary events.

{I. Szpindel}, {S. James}, {S. Keeton} all returned to baseline vital signs. Survey equipment constructed as planned. Main security sweeps in progress…

Negative hostiles…

Negative hostiles…

CRITICAL ALERT: Mission Override from origin vessel [Theseus]

{J. Sarasti} logged into direct camera feed. Scanning insertion team.

{J. Sarasti} logged out of stream. Scan terminated.

Forty minutes until Mission Abort.
