[ Shepard is sitting at the main desk in the infirmary, looking serious and sincere. ]

Morning, Anchor.

There's a few of us walking around with coughs and colds. I'd like to say that there's nothing too concerning about this, but let's try to keep it that way. If you cough or sneeze, wash your hands with water and soap afterwards. Also before and after touching common equipment - this goes for everyone. I have some hospital-grade disinfectant soap down here in the infirmary, and I'll move a container up to the residential quarter.

If anyone is worried, or is feeling worse. Or if you start getting more flu-like symptoms, please come and see me.

Like I said, let's try and keep this to something just mildly irritating.

You know what I was just thinking? "It would be great to visit a creepy, mostly abandoned colony right now." Because the first several times we had to answer a distress call or had a mission that took us to these outposts weren't bad enough.

That's not really why I'm typing this up. Correct me if I am wrong but it looks like most people here are human. That's a little bit of a problem for me. Love humans, honestly. Some of my close friends are human.

The whole "we evolved on levo-amino acid-based biospheres" is the deal-breaker. I can't exactly eat levo-based food. Well I could but I'd prefer a better death than that. So what I'm trying to ask is if there is, possibly, any alternatives.

I mean I'd really like to not starve if that's possible. Just throwing that out there for consideration.

[ Yeah, so, Qubit looks a little put out for some reason! Almost as if he took something personally that definitely wasn't meant that way. ]

Qubit here. In light of recent events, I'd like to remind everyone that circumventing security measures makes the station less safe for all of us.

[ Holds up his index finger- ] Now before anyone starts, I'm by no means disputing your fundamental right to privacy. No, there should not be cameras in your private rooms. But the cameras in public spaces are there for a reason - to detect things like, say, an intruder planting surveillance where it shouldn't be.

[ He pauses for a moment, debating whether he should go for this next part. But... yes. Yes, he absolutely is this petty. ]

... On a side note. For anyone unfamiliar with Earth mythologies, "Loki" is the name of a Norse trickster god, best known for repeatedly deceiving his family and friends for his own amusement. More fool them for trusting him, I suppose.

[ Then he shrugs, with a wry expression that isn't quite a smile. ] Although if memory serves, his little pranks generally come back to bite him, sooner or later. Food for thought.

[ the feed appears with loki facing the feed. on the table, there are silver buttons. ]

Greetings. I am Loki, God of Mischief, circa . . . when humans lived in mud huts, I suppose. I hear the security breach is concerning and I have a possible solution.

These badges — [ and he daintily picks one up. ] — will hide you from these, ah, "cameras". They work against infra-red, heat signatures, etc. I believe the only thing they may falter against are soul-forges or . . . quantum field generators, I believe is the more technical term.

You do have to meet me personally to pick these up as I would have to tweak them to your unique signature. But it would offer you privacy against most, if not all, devices.

[ The video opens on Ben's face. He is looking particularly grim, filming in one of the rooms in the residential section. No greetings or build-up, he just cuts right to the chase, holding up a tiny device between forefinger and thumb. Visible is a tiny lens, and what looks like a small antennae to transmit. ]

PSA. There are surveillance cameras hidden in the lighting fixtures of the bedrooms. I found a creepy tunnel leading to a creepy lair where some fucking creep has been spying on us. Still trying to figure out who is behind it and what they want, but the feeds only show occupied rooms and no empty ones so it's not a coincidence, unfortunately.

[ Ben turns the frame to face the spot where the small camera had obviously been ripped out of an overhead light. From offscreen he says, voice clipped and angry: ]

Anyway. Wanted you guys to know. Hit me up if you need help ripping the suckers out. I'll post again when I know more.

PSA RE: MEDBAY

Hey everyone,

For those who don't know me, I'm Commander Rufina Shepard of the Earth Systems Alliance Navy (Year 2186). More relevantly: I'm also a qualified battle medic for humans and aliens.

'But', I hear you say, 'she's not a doctor'.

Correct! I'm not.

But a battle medic can cover most injuries and ailments to be found in a place like this, particularly given this station's medbay. So if you get injured, come down to the medbay and I'll fix you up.

(And if you want to play tough-guy, please see me first and then you can show off your war-wounds. Trust me, gangrene isn't sexy and infections don't care about egos.)

- Shepard

To Whom It May Concern:

Hello. I'm sure it's a pleasure to meet all of you. I hope that this message finds you well.

I am seeking to assemble a group of individuals who might be interested in making the parlor we were first received in more palatable. We could stand to remove the dead plants, at the very least. A little bit of comfort, I've found, goes rather a long way in these sorts of situations. And it's a fairly intimidating room as-is, I'm afraid.

Please understand that there is no obligation to take part in this effort. I understand that it could be considered a... a bit of a light concern to prioritize. There won't be any hard feelings, as they say. I shall endeavour to complete this task to the best of my ability regardless, and any time you've taken to consider my request is, of course, deeply appreciated.


Many blessings,
A.Z. Fell

[ Public speaking is far from Ben's forte, but the good thing about uploading a video like this is that he can do multiple takes. In the frame behind Ben are shelves full of books; he filmed this in that little anteroom of the library that he and Peter had unearthed from the rubble.

He gets right to it; no introductions, no small talk. ]


Can anyone with experience at interpreting maps, handling old and fragile documents, or just anybody who speaks multiple languages please get in contact with me? I found some interesting stuff in the library a while back but I'm not making much progress with it.

[ A pause, and he seems about to terminate the video. Then he adds as an afterthought: ]

Oh, and I guess if anybody is just looking for something good to read to pass the time, I can help out with that. I can check if a particular book is down here, or recommend something.

[ Ben's self-appointed himself as the de facto librarian of the Anchor, because he wants to contribute in some way, and he's always been a bit of a bookworm. ]
