Subject: Psychological encoding
Mr. Johanson,
With regards to the psychological matching of our operatives, we have found that each desi
gnation has a tendency to take a specific role within the quad. Genesis often establish th
emselves as leaders within a few minutes, as is to be expected with the increased 5-HT rec
eptors. The designations do allow for flexibility of course. We have several quads where o
peratives marked as Faulty have assumed a leadership role, making me question our classifi
cation criteria. It may be that our standards are too stringent (excepting injury or physi
cal incapability obviously), and we should be less hasty marking an operative as faulty wh
en we see mental aberrations. The deviations happen more often when the operative is place
d under extreme duress, or if an objective requires extensive violent engagement. I believ
e we expect too much given their social circumstance prior to acquisition. Despite extensi
ve protein supplements, those embedded behaviors are going to surface and we should develo
p a curriculum to deal with them rather than throwing them on the trash heap.
This, of course, is all moot pending Rise, but who knows how long that will be.
At some point Iโd like to address the auditory response irregularity noted in my previous
report. While the short-term solution is to simply offer ear protection for operatives who
are overly sensitive to certain frequencies, Iโd like to put together a team to research
the problem. Let me know.
We continue to strive for the perfect quad.

You can't really remove how the brain is wired to react in a primitive natural state. You can train it to do certain things, but you can't remove the natural process at a base level; at least as far as we know thus far.

this log explains to us directly how schaeffer broke free

Genesis often establish themselves as leaders within a few minutes, as is to be expected with the increased 5-HT receptors.
Interesting. An increase of serotonin offers a higher chance of becoming a squad leader.

Guess my chances of being a leader are low shit
Didnt Hackett get serotonin too? In one of the audio logs its stated he did I think

Same.
eternal talon
i'm not sure, you'd have to cross reference
who is the leader of the squad, anyway?
bishop? since he's player 1?

Bishop seems to be the leader in the EF-01 logs, not sure if that tells us much.

eternal talon
if not we know it's probably sometime around ef01 since that's before bishop was assigned to our squad but while he was a kso
subtle verge
But, we can figure out who might be Genesis based upon that.
We know that Dauda isn't, we know that Hackett also came later.. so I'd imagine that it's either Woods or Bishop.
eternal talon
well woods is player 1, so i'm gonna go with that
subtle verge
However, I believe that it would be Bishop based on his previous expedition with EF01.
Because he was the squad lead on the EF01 mission.
subtle verge
No, he went with an entire squadron.
shut mountain
Maybe at one point Bishop was the leader but currently I dont think he is due to the mistrust he harbours towards others, hence why Woods is player 1 maybe? Not sure.
subtle verge
Or more, it's not explicitly stated.
We know of Bishop and the other KSOs that Durant mentions.
But not a specific number.

Woods seems like the most leader type out of all of them to me, like a soldier

Subject: Behavioral anomalies among Sigma gen
Ms. Klein,
I recommend only using Tau gen until we have fully investigated the
issue with Sigma gen. The Pretoria lab is running some tests on our
GOs and our remaining Sigmas to isolate the behaviors you mentioned.
A few questions:
1. Can you send photos of the self-harm you indicated with 0-2056?
We need to confirm if the scarring is indiscriminate or
definitely religious. Our records show this operative has
exhibited similar behavior before, despite multiple resets.
2. The head banging behavior is known in toddlers, but we did not
see that behavior in any of the Genesis Operatives. Does it start
immediately after resuscitation, or after some period of time? I
would like video evidence for the records and a more detailed
report please.
3. Can you send me a list of the operatives you marked as faulty and
sent to recycling? We track both organ and tissue stocks here so
we can trace the history should we need it.

Not really. A lot of naturally occurring diseases form due to earthquakes. Dengue fever, diarrheal diseases, respiratory infections, malaria, etc.
The major downfall of the Mayans were due to Spanish conquistadors waging land grab wars and bringing their European diseases with them.
subtle verge
Even in the 9th century, it's hotly debated on how it came to be. The debate is between disease, political turmoil, and environmental issues. It's pointed that a major drought may have happened between 880-930 AD via study of stalagtites.
And with that drought came major reduction in supplies, sustainability, etc.

The HISEC has no clear purpose as of rn, and the research data seems like it was looking ahead at R6's objectives.

the anomaly? you mean the inner?

Yes
eternal talon
yeah we do, hammerstein redaction log. "These locations are collectively known as "the Inner". This area has a separate classification due to evidence of geologic compacting and sedimentary settling. **This implies an ancient impact or explosion. **You may read my report titled [redacted] for further information on those findings."
the inner is where the meteor itself hit
not the blastwave
rich blaze
Or is it? could be just another impacter
Cause my first log definitely says they were off the coast trying to probe the meteor
eternal talon
well you'd imagine it'd probably throw hundreds of thousands of tons of rubble all across the impact zone
but given the inner is below garganta and garganta isn't in the ocean,
maybe the core of the meteor splintered off when it breached the atmosphere or something, it doesn't make much sense
but it's what we've got
eternal talon
We don't even know if Garganta doesn't sprawl below
it probably does for miles
the rundown screen shows it spread out at different levels of hight
it's like a big upside down conifer tree

"As you can see from the attached report, the specimen is truly unique. As far as we can tell, this is an entirely new material. I recommend we double team this one. I would like our lab to try and replicate compositing the alloy (we think thatโs what it is) from the materials we have managed to recognize so far, while you start searching for the materials listed as โUNKNOWNโ in the attached report.
We are assuming those materials are local to the Garganta operation, probably of extra-terrestrial origin dispersed during the Chicxulub impact event. Meteorite samples recovered from nearby sites do indicate traces of similar unknown materials, but we assumed they were nominal errors due to the fractional percentage of the composition. Now that we have a sample that is comprised of almost 24% unknown material, Iโm not so sure. We have a mystery on our hands."
from ANALYSIS COMPLETE log

Yeah I guess it coulda been named that way because the Alloy could be composed of Iridium and something else

analog frigate
since they use themselves up to form (drumroll) alloys and chemical bonds
subtle verge
It seems to be the case that we do not have something akin to Cretasium, so I'll drop my thoughts off there.
eternal talon
i sincerely hope we actually see the infected allens
analog frigate
i sincerely hope we actually see the infected allens
... flyers and the kraken?
eternal talon
allens
not aliens
the ones that built the artifacts and sent the meteor to earth
final sentinel
what if they're the shadows and/or mimics?
eternal talon
since we don't have a name, this is a common distinction i have made for, months now
eternal talon
what if they're the shadows and/or mimics?
well, they aren't shadows since those seem to be a variant of normal sleepers,
and while the mimic is similar to the description of the allens, they aren't quite the same
final sentinel
"I start looking around in the dark and I see it. This creature. Just standing t...
this description sounds like an early stage sleeper
like before heavy symptoms set in
eternal talon
well i mean technically speaking, aside from the "two bodies" part that makes me think of Goro from mortal combat, it could be
eternal talon
but the likelyhood is, that since it can teleport and no infected human variant we have seen can do that,
final sentinel
baby kraken :3
eternal talon
it is likely an infected allen that was hibernating within the meteor until humanity woke it
eternal talon
well they've been sleeping for 65 million years
in regards to in-game, we don't know
their numbers inside the meteor could have been so low to just make it a very rare encounter
final sentinel
maybe they're just too deep
eternal talon
that too.
eternal talon
i think this https://www.notion.so/Timeline-0e93a62e8cfd44b3a36beb4ab245a2d0?p=ebdd0d013fb2439c977e22d91c861e85 log is the first time they hit the Cretasium77-A veins,
as for how deep it is i don't think it says
that was march 20th
and a final depth of 1,500 meters was reached on august 17th
so you could probably work out the distance with that
eternal talon
tanking into account mining was substantially slower once they hit it
final sentinel
maybe around 100 meters or less
eternal talon
like 75/25 with 75% of the time being after they started cracking cretasium
final sentinel
left to go
final sentinel
that matches with "less than a meter per day"
eternal talon
of the lower levels
final sentinel
what's the backstory with that?
eternal talon
since it was AFTER the evacuation that an SMC. bore drill cracked a barrier and caused the explosion
final sentinel
sorry I'm not too up to date with the lore
final sentinel
since it was AFTER the evacuation that an SMC. bore drill cracked a barrier and ...
right the explosion
what if that was air pressure
nah wait energy blast
nvm
eternal talon
can someone pls proof-read this? i'm going to finish re-writing the updated vers...
@final sentinel it's not up-to-date quite just yet, but this is the v2 version of the "for dummies" doccument. give the "pre-apocalypse" section of this a read, since that portion is complete
final sentinel
wait if it was an alien ship, they could've accidentally cracked open whatever powered the vessel and that caused the explosion
hmm
eternal talon

that is what i was thinking aswell, as it is likely since by that point,
they were likely drilling directly into the Inner
solar nova
what i don't get is why they were still mining,
Greed.
eternal talon
they'd have had to have had armed escorts for the drills though given the sleeper infestation at that point,
which doesn't work with kovac evacuating the lower levels,
unless this was literally the only thing they were doing down there
subtle verge
What do you do with carpenter ants that invade your home? You exterminate them and move on.
Probably the mindset that was had at the time.
final sentinel
they'd have had to have had armed escorts for the drills though given the sleepe...
so the large unknown biomass were the sleepers, correct?
eternal talon
well yeah, but one carpenter ant can't usually bite your face off.
final sentinel
the first ones
eternal talon
so the large unknown biomass were the sleepers, correct?
likely, es.
either the first ones, or infected groups from before
final sentinel
im just wondering how they survived the blast
eternal talon
we don't know
final sentinel
oh i c
eternal talon
we only know that the path that the blastwave took reduced everything in it's path to ashes
so it could have just been a relatively localized explosion
with a narrow cone of fire, so to say
final sentinel
"Corridors that the blast DID go through were blasted to pieces"
eternal talon
and other parts were left unscathed
final sentinel
wait narrow cone of fire?
eternal talon
"Corridors that the blast DID go through were blasted to pieces"
yes, completely obliterated
serene fractal
Any interesting discussions come up so far today?
