Jariel: The Archon

———————————————————————–

The six have now been chosen. Nazrek, Zarkonis, Bathior, Aviel, Ionis and myself. My decision to be included in this group has been met with some bewilderment – however subtle – by the Orders, and I have heard whispers that I have only done so to indulge some inherent sense of self-importance. Of course, this is nothing of the sort. If the six are to represent our greatest minds, then it is only logical that I, the bold leader and visionary of the Nexus Project, would be included among them.

The time is now at hand. Soon, the six shall become one, and the universe shall witness the coming of a new god.

[This pessimistic look at the supply situation for the FCON troops in Grimvault is not promising. That could explain why the quartermaster who wrote the message is gone… or KIA.]

STATUS LOG – Grimvault Expedition Operation Prime Time Day 01
Quartermaster Griplock recording

What started as a bad supply situation is only getting worse. Ammunition stores are at less than 20%, with the parts we need to keep the weapons we do have in working order are barely at 10%. Command ain’t gonna like it, but they gotta get us more materiel if we’re gonna make a run at this Phagelab they been talkin’ about.
Hell, we’re gonna need more materiel if we’re gonna last the week. Maybe the day. I got all kinds’a faith in Commander Durek, but even he can’t win a war just throwin’ rocks at the Dommies.

Can he?

Deployment Orders: Operation Prime Time

Lore

FCON, I ain’t never lied to ya. This is the big one. Do or die. Probably both, but the second one don’t mean a thing if we don’t get the first taken care of.

We found what we think is the source of, hell, just about every dangerous secret on Nexus right here in the Grimvault, and we’re gonna make sure Exiles are the ones callin’ the shots when the time comes and the hammer drops and the space-chickens come home to roost.
We’re gonna hit hard to take control’a what territory we can, clear out these corrupted Strain monsters – that oughtta be fun – oh, and take down a Dominion superweapon before it wipes the arkship outta the sky. All with supplies on the low side and pretty much the whole planet in a state of open war. That means we’re all we got, mercs.

There’s operational intel from the Widow sayin’ we got some kinda ancient energy being in here trying to help us out.
I’m just gonna say this once – stick to the blasted plan! And when in doubt, listen to your immediate commander. The chain’a command is there for a reason, and anyone who violates orders on the word’a some hallucinogenic space ghost is gonna find themselves in the stockade!

Finally, listen up. I know we lost the Widowmaker. Those were good men, women, and mechs onboard that ship, and they didn’t deserve to die.
The ones that lived deserve their fates even less, and you’ll be doing ’em a favor if you kill ’em first chance you get. But the Widowmaker’s just one ship. Get that situation under control, FCON, get what supplies we need, and prep for the big final push into the heart of this blasted craphole.

When Grimvault’s good and pacified, we’ll roast Ruxnillian splorg franks over the flames.

Cryo Pod Emergency Operation Manual

Lore

Congratulations! You have activated the escape and survival functions of your cryo pod! Please read the following instructions carefully.

Yes, if you’re reading this message, you are almost certainly in a dire situation and need to evacuate this ship, station, or slightly larger escape vessel immediately, and all purpose-built escape pods are destroyed or unavailable.
That means you need to get away in quite possibly the same pod in which you have been traveling, sleeping, or relaxing. That’s why every cryo pod we make is equipped with vital components to ensure safe escape from whatever peril you find yourself facing, be it rapid atmospheric decompression, aggressive Marauder boarding parties, or simple mechanical breakdown.
Please ensure these safety features are installed before attempting to use this cryo pod for extravehicular escape, atmospheric reentry, or hard landing procedures.

Congratulations! Your safety features are installed! You can look forward to an increased chance of survival and will be able to manually guide your cryo pod in for a gravity-assisted landing, also known colloquially as a “hard crash.”
We recommend you complete any last documents you may wish to complete before your potential death, as the safety features of this cryo pod model are in no way guaranteed to ensure complete survival. To ensure complete survival, please install portable holo-crypt device.

I’m sorry! This cryo pod is not equipped with a portable holo-crypt device. In fact, there is no such thing as a portable holo-crypt device!
We have found, however, that sales of this cryo pod model improve by several percentage points when portable holo-crypt devices are mentioned. This is now hardwired into this safety briefing. Forgive the oversight!

Congratulations! Your new cryo escape pod is ready for launch. Happy landings!

Entry #971MD-033
Auto-Record Mode Activated

What were we thinking? Like I don’t know. I know exactly what – who – I was thinking about. “Let’s take a joyride,” she said. “What could happen?” Oh, I don’t know, friends, how about getting lost in a labyrinth of Strain-infested tunnels with no hope of rescue or even any hope of being found if you actually stave off infection and disease.
I don’t even know where my sister ended up, and we’ve always had sort of a link. Like, I know how she’s feeling, she knows how I’m feeling… but it’s like she’s not even there. What’s happening in this place, anyway?

And why in hell did I ride a cryo pod all the way down here like some kind of idiot Granok merc? Stupid, Moris. So. Stupid.

Entry #971MD-035
Last recording didn’t work. This equipment – something’s gotten into it.
Can machines get sick? I think my datachron is broken. It can’t tell me where I am, and I’m definitely lost. I can’t find the others, either. “Oh, just scan for our transponders, Moris,” they said. Well what happens when your datachron breaks, geniuses?

Entry #971MD-038
Shouldn’t have tried to crack the da – ron open, I think s – ata may – been lost. Not feeling so good myself. Only been half-hour since la – since la – since landing. Itching. Skin hurts.
W – cryo pod sealed cor – ec – ly? Can’t say. Need help. I wa – go home.

Grimvault Expedition of Discovery
Day 21

Although it seems clear to even a casual observer, I cannot stress this enough – the current Grimvault, the disease-infested universe of corruption and Strain, was not designed with anything like this in mind. The Eldan did not leave this place like this. They wanted the Strain confined, and Grimvault itself was more of buffer zone. Now the buffer zone is filled with Strain, and it’s only getting worse.
All technology in this area, while Eldan and therefore mysterious and strange, nevertheless served a purpose, one the Eldan took with them when they disappeared. Now that technology has been compromised by the Techno-Phage.

Grimvault Expedition of Discovery
Day 22
Although this Ethereal Hollow resembles a natural formation, I’m beginning to think nothing in this Grimvault is natural. It is completely saturated with corruption, and this underground network is no exception.
What purpose did this corrupted complex serve? Was it, as some have hypothesized, the site of the Eldan’s downfall? I must dig deeper.

Grimvault Expedition of Discovery
Day 23
Dead. Most of them in the latest attack. The corruption all around us – it is coming to life. The Strain… it thinks. Walks, talks, and fights. It is intelligent. And it hates us.

It walked, it roared, it snarled, it killed. It wants me… us. It is not just a substance. It is thinking. It wants.
It needs.

It kills. It wants me to kill. It wants me to join it. They want me to join them. I… we… will join them.

We will kill.
