Liste der Computer-Log-Eintr„ge =============================== Sublevel 3 ========== 3.1) Terminal Location: Brig - General Log, 4 Pages Cryosentence for prisoner 91266X completed Prisoner name: Lewis Lance J. Current rank: Private Defence: Striking a superior officer Security level: 0 During prisoner's cryosentence marine training ship encountered vessel of unknown origin. Docking was initiated and the alien vessel was boarded. Airlocks are located on levels 1, 3 and 5. Locate briefing room and access the computers there for further information. 3.2) Terminal Location: Briefing Room - General Log, 3 Pages The alien vessel contained leathery objects, roughly 1 metre in height. Under investigation a parasitic xenomorph emerged from what is assumed to be an egg. It attached itself to a crewmember and as yet will not come off though it appears to be doing no direct harm to the victim. The patient died from attempted removal of parasite. Ship's Captain Hampton has ordered immediate quarantine as these creatures have been found travelling in the airducts. Further information has been logged into the library located north of the canteen. Ship librarian Lieutenant McNamee has access with security card 2. His location is unknown. 3.3) Terminal Location: Library - General Log, 3 Pages The aliens have mastered the ship's airducts and they can now move between all levels of the ship with ease and incredible speed. We have received no response to numerous distress signals. Capt. Hampton fears the implications of these aliens reaching the frontier Marine issue weapons and ammo can be found in the ship's armouries located on levels 2 and 4. 3.4) Terminal Location: Library - General Log, 4 Pages Personal Log - Science Officer Sousa reporting. The aliens are a never before seen species, deadly, but determined. They seem to work as a colony, not unlike some insects. Their vessel resembles a nest of some gigantic hive. I believe there may be a leader, an egg layer, somewhere in that mess. They seem to be altering the structure of level 5 to suit their own needs expanding their domination of the ship in the process. The family of Chief Petty Officer Hunter is missing. He is searching for them inside the officer's area on level 2. With security card 3 access he is using the airducts. Personal Log - Chief Engineer Jacobsen reporting. I have placed information regarding the level 1 airlocks into the library on level 2. This is a security 1 area. 3.5) Terminal Location: Petty Officers Area - General Log, 2 Pages Personal Log - Science Officer Sousa reporting. It has been just over 48 hours since first contact and the ship is being overrun with these creatures. Their degree of hostility is the most of any being I have encountered. The aliens have acid for blood which causes damage during close range battle. Personal Log Officer Hunter reporting. Some of the crew have holed up a storage area south of the barracks. This area is now only accessible via the ship's airducts. Sublevel 4 ========== 4.1) Terminal Location: Training Maze (several places) - General Log, 1 Page Accessing a terminal? I want to see you sweat Private. Now drop and give me 20. 4.2) Terminal Location: Training Maze - General Log, 3 Pages Ships armouries can be entered with security card 4 but some weapons cannot be issued without higher security clearance. Doctor Whittaker reporting. Any injured personnel entering med-lab operating rooms can receive health assistance with security card 4 or higher. The higher the security card, the more energy can be recovered. Personal Log - Lieutenant Commander Cappa reporting. With my recent promotion to training maze co-ordinator and access to security card 6 I am now in charge of putting grunts through the training maze. 4.3) Terminal Location: Training Maze (jammed area) - General Log, 1 Page Some of us are heading for the command centre to set the self destruct. At this point there doesn't seem to be any choice. 4.4) Terminal Location: Armoury - Lieutenants Log, 1 Page Personal Log - Weapons Officer Patten reporting. The alien infestation has become very strong and few of us are left. One of my team, Lieutenant Cappa, is badly hurt. I am taking him to level 4 to receive attention. With my higher security card, I will be able to get him that much more assistance. Sublevel 5 ========== 5.1) Terminal Location: Cargo Bay (NE) - General Log, 1 Page Personal Log - Captain Hampton reporting. We are trying to enter the alien vessel. But they've been quite busy redesigning this level. The east elevator gives access to the escape pod, but only the airducts and west elevator will give access to the other airlocks. I have left important instructions in the command centre. Sublevel 1 ========== 1.1) Terminal Location: Cargo Bay (NE) - General Log, 4 Pages Chief Engineer Jacobsen reporting. The situation on board has deteriorated. It appears we have more visitors. A second alien vessel, quite different from the first, has boarded via the level 1 airlock and disabled most of the ship's power and comms. The inhabitants have not been seen, but that is not to say they aren't here. Unbelievable as it sounds, they can render themselves invisible to us, possibly by using individual energy sources to bend the spectrum of light rays around their bodies. Their number is unknown, as is their reason for being here. Drill Sergeant Kingsley tried to enter their ship, but he was killed with a large weapon of a type I have never seen. With a quick blue flash there appeared a large hole in the middle of his chest. He died instantly and the wound was cauterised with almost no blood loss. Tension is unbearable and those left alive doubt that they will last long. Sublevel 2 ========== 2.1) Terminal Location: Med-Lab - Medical Log/Chief Medical Officers Log, 5 Pages Upon Entering the alien vessel, Private Barker was attacked by a parasite which attached itself to his face. Subject failed to survive attempted removal. Chief Surgeon Whittaker accepts full responsibility. Personal log - Chief Medical Officer Whittaker reporting. It has been less than 4 hours since my last entry and several more crew members have been attacked by these yellow spider like parasites. When left alone, they soon fell off and died. Personal log - Chief Medical Officer Whittaker reporting. Apparently these parasites carry an egg of some kind, which they leave in their host. Soon after they die our infected crew exhibit grand-mal seizures. Then they suffer a terrible horrifying fate A creature about 2 metres in length, snakelike and powerful explodes from the host's chest in a shower of blood and bone. These creatures are growing quickly and taking more of the crew into their vessel. I am taking the medical stuff into the training maze on level 4. I hope it will be secure and that this will not be my final entry. 2.2) Terminal Location: Med-Lab - Medical Log/Chief Medical Officers Log, 3 Pages The majority of the ships first aid kits have been taken from med-lab supply rooms by Doctor Whittaker using his security card 4 access. Limited ammunition for all marine issue weapons is available in the armouries with security card 9. The west elevator is not functional between levels 3 and 4. 2.3) Terminal Location: Armoury - Lieutenants Log, 1 Page Welcome tho the ship's armouries. Standard marine weapons cannot be issued without the proper security card clearance. Thank you. 2.4) Terminal Location: Armoury (also in the sublevel 4 armoury) - Lieutenants Log, 1 Page Personal Log - Weapons Officer Patten reporting. The flamethrower is quite a unit. Decent fuel economy that fries upto a medium range distance. 2.5) Terminal Location: Armoury (also in the sublevel 4 armoury) - Lieutenants Log, 1 Page Personal Log - Weapons Officer Patten reporting. I have been putting the pulse rifle through it's paces. This is a sweet piece of steel that does a fair amount of bruising without eating a lot of ammo. 2.6) Terminal Location: Sealed area, reachable through airduct 3B - General Log, 6 Pages Ships armouries can be entered with security card 4, but some weapons cannot be issued without higher security clearance. Doctor Whittaker reporting. Any injured personnel entering med-lab operating rooms can receive health assistance with security card 4 or higher. The higher the security card, the more energy can be recovered. Science Officer Sousa reporting. The aliens seem to be changing the structure of level 5. It appears they are able to excrete a resin that hardens quickly. My assistant Lieutenant Gillen and I have the last remaining motion tracker. We are going to try and locate the Captain who has not been heard from since his search team entered level 5. We will be using the east elevator to get there. Chief Engineer Jacobsen reporting. I am investigating unusual events on level 1. Further details will be available on the level 1 computers. The west elevator is not functioning properly and cannot travel between levels 3 and 4. 2.7) Terminal Location: Command Center - General Log Self destruct sequences cannot be initiated without security card 10 clearance. The captain has one of only 2 security cards with a clearance of 10. 2.8) Terminal Location: Library - General Log, 5 Pages Disobeying Captain Hampton's quarantine, some crewmembers have abandoned ship via the escape pods. Now the only remaining escape pod is on level 5. Personal Log - Commander Keim reporting. If anyone reads this I pray that we were successful. My assistant and I are prepared to do whatever is necessary to destroy these aliens. We are taking supplies of grenades and fuel into their spacecraft in a last attempt to blow it into the stars. I have stolen security card 8 off one of the dead. Please let us succeed. Personal Log - Weapons Officer Patton reporting. After confering with Engineer Jacobsen we have decided to pay our visitors on level 1 a visit. I have acquired a smart gun and enough ammo to take out whatever we find. Security 9 access granted Personal Log - Captain Hampton reporting. If this message is being read, you must assume I am already dead. The rate at which these creatures multiply is terrifying. If these things were to make it to earth it could mean the end of the civilised world as we know it. I cannot allow this. I am therefore authorising the following actions: 1. Get to the command centre. 2. Set the ship for self destruct. 3. Leave the ship via the escape pods. But you won't have much time. The future of the universe is in your hands. Good luck. -- Stephan Baucke, November 1994
