God complex or complex god?
As usual, we’ve found more mysteries and riddles and conspiracies and everything has become even more so inextricably linked. Shedrak’s cube had at least one more secret to share and this most recent one is that we have to use a mythical artifact of language or consciousness to get rid of an omnipotent being before time is unwritten back 10 years ( Read more... ) -
Galactic doormat
This quadrant is pretty much tearing itself apart with all the warring Ancients - at this point, the sensor data is so spotty and sporadic that all we can assume is that there are battles everywhere unless we hear otherwise. And even then, we don’t necessarily believe the person who’s telling us. The Xilibanque and the Antean Ancients had Shivans ( Read more... ) -
Anticlimax
Escape from the Ancients was . . . remarkably easy - I forgot that Kitresta has all the staff do emergency drills with military precision and fires or executes anyone slacking. They probably didn’t even realize it wasn’t a drill until the station activated its node gate ( Read more... ) -

T minus 6 hours
The Ancients are stirring. We’re probably going to die in six hours. Laboratory, the minute my death is detected, you are to ensure all my records on everything are provided to Sebastian Gale. He’s the only person who has a chance of replicating or field testing any of our designs. I wish I could have done more, found more answers, figured out ( Read more... ) -
Rescue
Guess I’ll be be getting those cybernetics that I always vaguely considered but deemed too risky. The “retrieval” of Hohenheim was successful, but not flawless. The cargo hold is pretty banged up, and we need to run system checks to ensure no MPR leaked out during the fight. And I know that the decontamination team is already sweeping the whole ( Read more... ) -
Vulnerabilities
The plan is set, I’m not going into details because Hohen knows the basis of all our systems too well - with anyone else, I wouldn’t believe in the possibility that my data could be accessible, but I’ve see that Caerian come back from the dead leading and goddamn armada twice. God knows what tricks are up his sleeve that I haven’t seen ( Read more... ) -
Detection
Legion has detected AI activity where there are no known Talosians, and there is a node maw in about the same location. It has to be Shodan, so Elijah and I are going to go throw a nuke at her. I wish we could take our ship, but it’s too distinctive and doesn’t have a slipstream engine. I should get with Remi about that - hah, in our copious ( Read more... ) -
Xun
Finally had the chance to meet Xun Hu. I like her, but I’m really pissed off we don’t have a way to detect psionic cloaking. Kitresta, can you assign some people to compile data on psionic cloaking and how it works? There’s got to be some way that it alters spacetime - I refuse to believe that any cloaking mechanism is foolproof. -
Disturbance
Every damn time I feel like we’ve made progress, the whole damn universe throws a wrench at us! Get Legion online, lose my closest friend. Get the Abstractor online, and Shivans and Ancients start rippling up the gravity everywhere. Damnit. The Nebari arcologies are starting to phase back into space normal, and the Shivans have three fleets set ( Read more... )
