Personal Note: If you’re reading this, know that this isn't the log of a simple soldier but of someone with a history—and, it seems, a future tangled in more secrets than I care to admit.
Today, the whispers became reality. For months, there’s been talk about a hybrid design. Something massive. Sirius and Azimuth tech, Guardian integration, and—most alarming of all—heavy Thargoid bioengineering. I thought it was just another ghost story meant to unsettle those of us on the front lines of this war. But tonight, I held the truth in my hands.
The intel was buried deep within Proxima Outpost’s black box archives, disguised as mundane shipment logs under layers of encrypted messages. Sloppy work. Whoever hid this information didn’t anticipate the reach of a Nomad and the focus of someone like me. Someone who’s watched the squadron operations closely, tracked rogue research teams, and seen corporate titans feeding the war machine with contracts, promises, and half-truths.
Proxima was supposed to be a routine check-in, a chance to monitor squadron activity and catch my breath. But something felt wrong from the moment I docked. Local comms were quieter than usual, but I noticed power surges coming from restricted areas. At any other station, I’d assume lazy maintenance, but not here. Not today.
With a bit of persuasion and a claim of “squadron business,” I convinced a dockworker to grant me access to the tech bay. Under the low hum of emergency lights, I tapped into their secure files. There, concealed beneath layers of encrypted logs, were blueprints for the hybrid: a Zorgon Peterson ship with Guardian tech, Sirius FSD enhancements, Thargoid bioweapons, and Azimuth’s AI integration—a monstrous blend of science and nightmares.
This ship is more than a weapon; it’s a declaration, a symbol of the extremes humanity is willing to reach to win this war. I recorded the files and slipped out unnoticed. But the feeling lingers—my squadron must be warned, and yet I’m left wondering, what does it mean for me, someone who's already sacrificed so much in this war? If the truth surfaces, those who sanctioned this project won’t hesitate to silence me.
For now, I’ll share this intel selectively, with those I trust. But part of me wonders: if humanity’s turning to these hybrids, are we still the ones defending against Thargoids—or are we becoming them?
