“This is the audio log of Commander Karin Eagers, date systems code: #85JH96. Current time is 10:00am. The Phoenix has made steady progress since the beginning of our journey three days ago, and moral aboard has been greatly improved since then. Although transporting the cargo IS one of my highest priorities, I also feel that keeping a positive attitude aboard the ship amongst the crew is just as important. Many of the men, women and families were reluctant to accept such a mission during such a difficult time. I hope that this increase in moral will allow less hassle in future missions I ask my team to undertake.” (Foot steps and faint talk can be heard) ) “Yes… certainly…” (more faint talking) “… Give me five minutes.” (sound of door closing) It appears I am needed on the bridge. No rest for the wicked, aye? This is Commander Eagers of the Phoenix signing off.”

(heavy breathing) “This is Captain James Durrant..” (faint gunshots and blood curdling screams) “… we have been attacked by and unknown enemy… the commander is dead… crew members are being slaughtered…” (heavy breathing) “They forcefully boarded us… Commander Eagers was the first to go…. killed him instantly by those slaughterers… From their make shift entrance at the rear of the ship… they spread out and attacked in their dozens…. Such a highly trained group… Our crew wasn’t ready for this…. The rear end of the Phoenix has been taken with many of the crew members dead or dieing…” (heavy breathing slows down) “Right now we have gathered as many people as possible, brought them to the front of the ship and we are formulating a plan of escape. The commander’s men…. MY men are fighting their own with the limited amount of firearms we have… The situation is looking VERY grim. However, the plan is to--- WHAT THE HELL?!” (loud explosion) “…” (faintly) “Sir?! CAPTAIN?!…. Oh my god…” (Transmission ends.)

(Whispering) “…This is Second Officer Jake Barnes. Time is… 11:43pm. Captain Durrant died at the hands of the unknown enemy when they breached “C” deck. Without any choice… we surrendered. We were all moved to the mess hall. We are lightly guarded… however, although we out number them, they out gun us. We still have absolutely NO idea who the enemy is, however, one thing is certain. The enemy is NOT here for the cargo. As soon as the forces took over the bridge, they jettisoned the cargo into space. One of the crew members has told me that as soon as the cargo was ejected… a radar vessel of some kind was brought aboard. Unfortunately he only caught a glimpse, for all we know it could be something else… It also appears we have changed course and we could be turning back to the jumpships themselves… I’m… I’m still not sure on the details. Non of us are. I have no idea where we are going and what the enemy plans to do with us. When this transmission end, I shall eject the recorder buoy in hope that someone will find it. Please… save the crew of the Phoenix.” (faint whimpering)
