This is Doctor Amina Holland, Chief-Scientist of the Sevantya, I'm recording this log and also broadcasting it to public channels to express my concern regarding the abductees that are being rescued from the Thargoid Titans. Thanks to Azimuth Biotech engineers, we have now a very capable research vessel with all the tools needed to better study the Titans and its environment, and with all the fuss going on about what should be done with the abductees I have requested with Commander Vraugen an expedition to the Thargoid Titan "Indra" with the intent of locating and recovering those abductees ourselves to further study them and to also harvest additional materials from the Titan itself, despite the mercenary which has been the currently focus of the Sevantya, Commander Vraugen agreeded to this expedition.
On 12/02/3310, the Sevantya has been relocated to Hyades Sector DX-H a11-1, a safe system inside the Indra sphere of influence, the expedition has commenced at 18:30 and as soon as we jumped into HIP 20567, Indra's home system, we were immediately pulled out of supercruise by the Hunter Class Thargoid vessels, thanks to Commander Vraugen piloting expertise we managed to quickly escape them and continue with the journey, however once inside the system we were interdicted another three times by numerous Thargoid vessels, it seems the Thargoids have significantly increased their defenses around the Titans due to the human interference in trying to rescue the abductees, this will undoubtly make the task of assaulting the Titans in the future a much harder task.
Comparing the data we had from the Taranis Titan with the Indra Titan, the outer clouds caustic composition and defense patterns of Caustic Generators seems to have remained the same, however, Thargoid vessels patrolling the outer caustic clouds have increased significantly, despite our ship being almost invisible to their tracking systems, their vessels seems to have become a lot more prone to detecting the various types of Limpets used by our ship, this is a clear sign of adaptation, which most likely happened due to the massive amount of limpets which were dumped at the Titans during the early attempts of extracting materials from them.
Navigating above the Titan hull is a hard task, the traffic of Thargoid vessels going in and out of the Maw membrane has also increased significantly, there were several moments were a curious Glaive or Cyclops would come too close to our ship and we had to reposition, as for the abductees, finding them were not hard, the improved Pulse Wave Xeno Scanners easily detected the signals from the Thargoid Bio-Storage Capsules, which were always located in cluters forming a conic shape just below the main sections of the hull. The mining expert we hired handled the extraction part, according to him "It was no different from extracting minerals from good ole rocks but these were people inside alien sacks instead..." (sigh) his words... not mine... either way the guy did a good job and we managed to extract 160 capsules from the hull. An interesting behavior we observed is that once the hull was breached and the capsules were ejected, recovery drones similar to the ones used by the Hunter Scythes, were deployed to attempt to recover the capsules and seal the breach, some even engaged our limpets and "stole" the capsules back, sadly we had no way to take these drones down, and as predicted, the Titan reacted to the breaches and deployed vessels to investigate what was going on, by the time we were finished we were already under fire by the Titan defense turrets and other vessels, but once again, their limited capability of tracking cold targets, ensured our safe escape...
Ok... so... this was the raw report on our expedition and the procedure used to extract the Thargoid Bio-Storage Capsules, now to the matter at hand... I decided to personally try to open and analyze one of the capsules, which I denominated Abductee Nº 160, since it was the last one to be unloaded, I don't know how, or why, but the Thargoid have managed to create a safe environment to store a living human individual, the similarities to a human placenta are... disconcerning... I have used a surgical power tool to cut open the membrane and get access to the human individual, a yellow substance oozed from the opening, I collected some of it and sent it to analysis on a more capable research facility, sadly the Sevantya is not equipped for such delicate research, anyway... the individual inside Capsule Nº 160 was a male, probably on his mid thirties, his vitals were good, how long he has been inside the capsule could not be determined. After 1 minute and 34 seconds after the capsule was open, the individual abruptly woke up, I'm not sure if it was the contact with the recycled air from the Carrier or the simple fact he was no longer being sustained by the yellow liquid that triggered this but the individual quickly became extremely agitated and had to be sedated. After the chaos he made in my lab, we cleaned him up, made all the standard physical exams needed and moved him to an observation room, his medical record right after the sedation is attached:

------------------------------------------------------------
The sedative dose was pretty weak, just enough to put him down for a bit, the individual woke up at 03:13... He was clearly disoriented, but was capable of speaking somewhat properly... he couldn't remember his name, he also didn't remember being abducted by the Thargoids, the last thing he remembered was entering his ship, a Type-7, after that, he said all went black, he also couldn't remember when this happened... the only thing he remembered is that his wife and daughter were with him, and kept asking for them constantly, it didn't take long for the aggressive behavior to kick in, I decided to not sedate him and instead told I was going to bring his family back to him, that seemed to calm him down for a bit... at 03:21 the alarm in the observation room went off, Abductee Nº 160 was frenetically banging his head against the glass wall, babbling words that made no sense... Dr. Andrew Olnan opened the observation room to sedate him but the individual grabbed Dr.Andrew by the neck, lifting him from the ground, he then proceeded to brake the doctor's neck and tried to do the same with Dr. Kimber Weaver, luckily security arrived quickly and managed to put him down before the same happened to her.
It took 6 shots from an AR-50 to put down an individual that weighs 71 Kg... wearing a hospital gown! HOW is that even possible? How someone that just came out of statis suddenly gains super strength? I... I... just can't explain... thank god Dr. Weaver suffered only minor injuries but we lost Dr. Andrew... and it was my fault... I should have sedated him when I had the chance... then I collected new tissue and blood samples and sent them to Azimuth Biotech, they have the proper means to analyze this and maybe give an explanation... something... for what happened... for now the remaining Bio-Storage Capsules are sealed on the cargo bay, we still don't know what shall be done with them, maybe this was an isolated case but what if it isn't? I'm also making public my report on the HIP 14909 Expedition Crew there are just too many similarities... I know that each Superpower is handling the abductees in their own way and that it seems that they are ok and healthy, but I'm afraid we are dealing with something else... THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THESE INDIVIDUALS! I worked with biological-weapons before, for example, there are nerve agents, that can trigger all kinds of responses on the human body, maybe that is what the Thargoids are waiting for? Get enough abductees to be rescued and reintroduced into human society... and somehow "activate them"?... I don't know... why would the thargoids keep the humans sealed in a safe environment? Are prisoners of war even a concept to them? What other purposes would they have to keep us alive and well inside their ships? if you are reading this log, CEASE RESCUE OPERATIONS IMMEDIATELY! These "hybrids" have an extremely high chance of being the next step of the Thargoids plan, sleeper agents, just waiting for the right trigger to strike humanity from within... these poor man and woman stuck in those capsules at the Titans are already doomed and god knows what is going on with those that were rescued and are already living with us again, the best we can do is to put them all out of their misery and maybe prevent an even bigger disaster... Dr. Amina Holland, signing off...
