Entry 002 : 3307.09.27Ok, so everyone has at least heard of em, Thargoids, and I know a lot of people have even encountered them out in places like the Witch Head Nebula, and near the Pleiades (Hyades Sector something or other), but I had no idea they were so close to home! I was so busy just keeping busy back in that Cornsar system that I guess I never really thought about WHY someone had to save those people. Those freaking [censored] aren't just at our door, they're IN THE [censored] HOUSE!! (Guess I should read the news a little more often, huh?)
Anyway, it got me to thinking, and to researching, and it seems this dude that calls himself 'Salvation' (no ego issues there) has been hot to kick some Thargoid butt, like hot to the point where he's making AEGIS look like a bunch of monkeys [censored] a football! (Not that I was ever impressed with them anyway - never accused them of having an over abundance of intelligence). Anywho, this 'Salvation' fella seems to have the fighting side taken care of, not that I'd be much help with that anyway, so I figure I'd help out by doing what *I* do best! All I gotta do is find where these little [censored] [censored] are [censored] hiding. Turns out, they aren't exactly hiding, it's just that "normal" people generally don't go looking for them.
So I'm following some leads, and I'm chatting it up with this guy at the bar, a Search-and-Rescue shuttle-pilot as luck would have it, supposedly has some good recent intel on some kind of Thargoid installation. Well I eventually turn the conversation in that direction, and this guy sort-of freezes in his chair, turns three shades of white, and from the look on his face it was hard to tell if he was constipated or terrified. Turns out the guys entire family was killed in a Thargoid attack not long ago, killed everyone onboard except him. (Funny how he never did explain how that was). He tells me that's why he does what he does now, as if I'm a moron and couldn't figure that one out.
Anyway, a couple of rounds later he's starting to loosen up again, and he starts talking about this database he's been working on. (Finally! It's about [censored] time!!!!!!). I had gone in there looking for "Info a Thargoid installation", and I found the [censored] [censored] Thargoid Encyclopedia Galactica!! This guy had managed to gather an impressive amount of data - some fairly well detailed, some not so much. When I pressed him for his source, he laughed, a lot, then told me to just watch the news once in a while. ([censored] [censored] wise-[censored]). (Well I don't need to watch it now [censored]! You already gave me your database you [censored] mo-ron!)
So, looks like I got me some reading to do. I'll let you know how it goes.
[There, is that good enough for ya Doc? I didn't mention you or them even once, and I even cut down on the [censored] cuss words!]
