...Begin Transmission...
It's been three days since the organization shipped me out on the Acropolis along with six of my colleagues. It's been a little difficult adjusting to life on the megaship, but nothing too unbearable. All of us in the science department have our own little section of the ship for work. The rest of the crew pay little attention to us, which is perfectly fine by me.
As far as work is concerned, we've been running experiments with meta-alloys to test the compressional and tensile strength of the molecular structures, as well as their resistance to specific levels of radiation. Our findings could help us improve our own technology to endure greater environmental extremes in space. Alas, this is a military vessel with a militant agenda. Our superiors have little interest in anything other than the Thargoid's weaknesses, and how the weapons could be modified to exploit them.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to do any bio-weapons testing because we don't have the security clearance required to handle them. According to the department head, an Aegis Associate will be arriving in two days to give us the clearance and oversee our work. Hopefully by then, we'll have a better understanding of the inner workings of the weapons.
No one has said it out loud, but we suspect the weapons use the same substance used long ago to deter the Thargoids, but it's all just speculation until we get the proper clearance.
