Marathon ARG

bit.ly/marathon-arg | product of discord.gamedetectives.net 

This doc is maintained by retrocraft#6259, skylarkblue1, and ODST Sam Owens#9728 on the behalf of the Game Detectives Discord server. Please send a Discord DM or make a suggestion to the doc if you have anything to add or if you would like to contact us about this document.

Each website domain is given a top-level section header. Each clue originating from that website is given a subheader. Long copy (e.g., the transcribed pages of the Zine) are placed in the appendix.

We have a bot we created ourselves in the Game Detectives Discord that actively scans and reposts email messages sent through the Sekiguchi Genetics website (see §2.1) and chat messages in the Traxus chat room (see §3.1). You need to join the Email Updates and Chat Updates threads in said discord for messages to show.

This doc got featured on Forbes!

Be aware that we have found some clues before the intended release time by investigating and reverse engineering the source code of the websites. This is discouraged, and should not be used to progress.

1: Marathon

« Previous: None (Trailhead) | Next: 2, 3, 4  »

Bungie announced their new game, Marathon, at the May 24 PlayStation showcase. Checking the game’s Twitter account (@MarathonTheGame), we saw that they followed @We_Are_Mida. This account, in its bio, had a link to the site https://hearoursilence.com/ (§4).

Additionally, a few websites were featured in the trailer video: https://sekiguchigenetics.jp/ (via a QR code) (§2) and https://traxus.global/ (via a URL) (§3).

1.1: Overlay Image

« Previous: None (Trailhead), 1.4.1 | Next: 1.2 »

Also, after the game was revealed, four Bungie devs made tweets, each including one image. We eventually found 12 images to overlay:

Overlaying them all in Figma gave us a cover cipher and text:

If we interpret the punch card overlay as an IBM punch card (see hint §1.4.1), then we get a link to secretsarewaiting.com, which redirects to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFcXob5iu-0. This is a live stream which we had to wait for 7,777 viewers to get an update. While waiting, the stream said

1.2: ViDoc

« Previous: 1.1 | Next: 2.1, 3.1, 3.2 »

In the new ViDoc, the following Base64 (0:53) and Japanese text (4:29) flashes:

which decodes to SERPENT, which is the Traxus room name (§3.1) and provides us the username and password (YOSHITO_TAMURA / charon) for Sekiguchi Genetics (§2.1).

1.3: Marathon Website

« Previous: None (Trailhead) | Next: 5.1 »

The Marathon announcement website contained the fourth overlay image and also, in the source code, an extraneous HTML element:

<span data-username="admin49912112cpsb@uesc.insec" data-password="axion"></span>

The credentials, admin49912112cpsb@uesc.insec / axion are used to unlock the UESC directory listing (§5.1).

NOTICE: At 5:50pm UTC on May 26, the @We_Are_Mida account was deleted.

1.4.1: Punch Card Hint

« Next: 1.1 »

At 7:44pm EDT on May 24, @We_Are_MIDA tweeted:

WE GAVE YOU THE TOOLS, YOU’VE COMPLETED THE CODE, BUT A CIPHER EVADES YOU??? MAYBE IT'S TIME TO CLOCK OUT.

This was a hint for the overlay image (§1.1).

1.4.2: Purchase Order Password

« Next: 2.2, 3.2 »

At 9:57pm EDT on May 24, @We_Are_MIDA tweeted:

MALICIOUS INSIDER DISRUPTS AGENDA

We used the password infinity to unlock the Traxus PO (§2.2).

1.4.3: Spectrograph

along with a video. Spectrographing the video gives code UNITEd, one of the keywords for §3.2. The art is taken from Page 19 of the Zine.

1.4.4: Map is Key

« Next: 3.2, 5.3 »

At 6:14pm EDT on May 25, @We_Are_MIDA tweeted:

The thread appears to be referencing the Traxus IV incident where a rampant AI attacked Mars.

2: Sekiguchi Genetics

« Previous: 1  | Next: 2.1 »

https://sekiguchigenetics.jp/

2.1: Yoshito Tamura's Inbox

« Previous: 1.2 | Next: 2.2, 2.3, LOOSE THREAD »

Use the login YOSHITO_TAMURA / charon from the ViDoc (§1.2) to unlock the inbox page.

Full texts (machine translated) in A2.

• Email A2.1 references the Traxus purchase order's importance to Sekiguchi.
• Email A2.2 looks pretty useless (it's about a bathroom closure) but knowing the room numbers/layout of the Sekiguchi building might be useful in the future.
• Email A2.3 has an attached memo from Traxus regarding a conference taking place 22–27 Lynx 680. This is the Mars Calendar for October 15th to 20th, 2888.
• Email A2.4 has a password-locked attachment (§2.2), which we unlocked using a MIDA tweet (§1.4.2). This is the same file as the Traxus Chat Room (§3.1), a purchase order from Traxus to Sekiguchi.
• Email A2.5 and A2.6 note the potential unethicality of fulfilling the Traxus purchase order.
• Email A2.7 has an ASCII decimal string decoding to daedalus.
• Email A2.8 indicates that Tamura will be absent for three hours.
• Email A2.9 has a password-locked attachment (§2.3) which is unlocked using the password TRANCE (the same as §3.1)
• Email A2.10 completes the bathroom saga from A2.2 🚽
• Email A2.11 gives more detail on the Mars accident described in the third chat log (A1.5)
• Email A2.12 is in regards to a legal demand by UESC to investigate the purchase order. It notes that files will be deleted from the email server and that we should download emails.
• Email A2.13 is a follow-up to A2.11 describing the Traxus Oxia Palus incident.
• Email A2.14 and A2.15 are acknowledgements that the Traxus–SekGen PO has been approved and is being processed by SekGen (over the objections of emails A2.5 and A2.6). Note that instead of going to sg.all, this company-wide email was sent to all.sekiguchi. This is probably the Sekiguchi Group mailing list as opposed to just Sekiguchi Genetics.
• Email A2.16 and A2.17 indicate that Tamura is no longer working for SekGen and has likely been promoted to a role elsewhere in the Sekiguchi Group.

As of 6am UTC on May 27th, all emails have been deleted from Yoshito Tamura's inbox.

2.2: Traxus Purchase Order

« Previous: 1.4.2, 2.1, 3.1 | Next: LOOSE THREAD »

Discovered through the fourth email (§2.1) and second chat log (§3.1) using a password from an @We_Are_MIDA tweet (§1.4.2). The full text of the PO is available in A2.4 below the email.

The purchase order was discussed in emails 5, 6, 12, and 14.

0:38 of the trailer shows the Item number and description of the seventh item of the list, showing the items bought by Traxus have arrived to Tau Ceti.

The first and fourth items have the wrong NET:
The NET of the first item should be 1,607,550,387.50 (assuming 15% discount) (+257,215,737.50)
The NET of the fourth item should be 351,678,000 (–90) (Human error? 9 and 0 are close)

There is a double underline in the third line of the third item (FBP/PM_14T SK 9).

2.3: Memo

« Previous: 2.1, 3.1 | Next: LOOSE THREAD »

Discovered through the third Traxus chat room (§3.1) and ninth email (§2.1), using the code TRANCE to unlock.

We got the memo early by noticing that the purchase order was fetched using a request

POST https://sekiguchigenetics.jp/api/open
{"password": "infinity","attachment_type": "2","attachment_without_password": false}

If we instead make a request

POST https://sekiguchigenetics.jp/api/open
{"attachment_type": "3","attachment_without_password": true}

we get the memo as a response.

Alternatively, we can get the entire mailbox with attachments and not have to worry about calling out to the /open endpoint by instead calling

POST https://sekiguchigenetics.jp/api/mail-history
{"token": "charon"}

This returns the entire inbox including paths for the attachments as images.

3: Traxus

« Previous: 1  | Next: 3.1, 3.2 »

The Traxus website contains the email infosec@traxus.global in the bottom-right corner (§3.2).

There is also a chat window in the bottom-left that accepts a “room name” (§3.1).

The top-right reads:

WE BUILD WORLDSD

At Traxus Global we build the infrastructure that connects humanity.
From our humble beginnings on Earth’s native soil to our adopted homes on Luna, Mars, in between, and beyond, Traxus Global strives to create and uplift communities while innovating in the fields of infrastructure development and resource management.

Building today.
Towards tomorrow.

with a weird superscript D.

You can rotate the central dial in the TRAXUS website by scrolling to access three pages, “Commitment to Humanity” has audio logs with their company values, “History” has the history of the company and “Research & Innovations” is about an asteroid discovery.

3.1: SERPENT Chat Room

« Previous: 1.2, 3 | Next: 2.2, 2.3, LOOSE THREAD »

The chat room is regularly cleared. The full texts of chats are available in A1.

1. A1.1

1. Two codes in msg. 39: CTEQNQIA and VKVC. These ROT24 decode to ARCOLOGY and TITA, respectively. This might be a reference to the Titan New Pacific Arcology in Destiny 2.
2. The attachment in msg. 56 was unlocked by the password infinity, the same as the Sekiguchi Genetics password (§2.1), since they are the same file.

2. A1.2: Message 8's hex code 69 6D 62 75 65 decodes to imbue.
3. A1.3: This chat was mistakenly posted, and the correct order of messages was posted later.

1. Message 45 contains the ciphertext AYHUJL (Rot7 to TRANCE) which unlocks the Sekiguchi Genetics memo (§2.3).
2. Message 35, UkFESUFOVA==, is Base64 for RADIANT.

4. A1.4: Correct order of part of the previous chat. c2ltdWxhY3J1bXM= in msg. 59 is Base64 for simulacrums.
5. A1.5: The correct copy of the third chat.
6. A1.6: Lore. Traxus acknowledged the UESC leak re: Equanimity and Goliath.
7. A1.7: Lore. Traxus plans the PR spin around OxPa B 01 and bargains with UESC for an internal investigation.
8. A1.8: Lore. Traxus acknowledges that the PO is being executed.
9. A1.9: Lore. UESC refuses to give up sovereignty to Marathon and TCIV (cf. A4.5) so Traxus begins to pursue an independent mission.

3.2: infosec@traxus.global Email

« Previous: 1.2, 1.4.2, 3.1 | Next: 5.1, 5.3 »

Sending an email to infosec@traxus.global with one of the keywords gives the response

Subject: Input phrase accepted. Thank you for your collaboration.

As promised, please use the following code to access the Interorbital United Shipping database. We look forward to hearing your findings and progress.

01110101 01100101 01110011 01100011 00101110 01101001 01101111

This is an automated message from Vulcan.

which contains binary decoding to uesc.io (Unified Earth Space Council, §5.1).

If the email does not contain any of the keywords, the response is:

Subject: Message void - Invalid subject

Your communication was not delivered. Invalid subject.

Please ensure subject accuracy.

This is an automated message from Vulcan.

The allowed keywords are (in arbitrary, alphabetical order):

1. arcology (from chat, unused)
2. anonymity (from page 11 of the Zine, unused)
3. axion (from §1.3, used as the password for §5.1)
4. charon (from §1.2, the password for §2.1)
5. daedalus (from §2.1, unused)
6. imbue (from chat, unused)
7. infinity (from §1.4.2, the password for §2.2)
8. serpent (from §2.1, the chat room name from §3.1)
9. simulacrums (from chat, unused)
10. titan (from chat, unused)
11. trance (from chat, used to unlock §2.3)
12. radiant (from chat, unused)
13. resist (from page 27 of the Zine, unused)
14. united (from §1.4.3, unused) (note: this is not actually an email keyword, but is used in the password)

Based on the chat log (A1.4) and a Tweet (§1.4.3), we need fourteen of these keywords.

The first letters of these are an anagram for sic itur ad astra, a motto often used by Bungie. In combination with a hint (↑!↑!↓↑↓@↓@↑↑↓@, from §1.4.4) to replace some characters with !, some with @, and some upper or lowercase, this decodes to S!C!tUr@d@STr@, the password for §5.3.

3.3: Open Letter to Investors

« Previous: 3 | Next: LOOSE THREAD »

On May 27 at 3:30 PM UTC, a popup appeared titled "New Horizons" on the Traxus website, reading:

OPEN LETTER TO INVESTORS

At Traxus OffWorld Industries and all our divisions, branches, and subsidiaries across Sol we value our communities above all else. Because building worlds is what we do. And building worlds for families, friends, and neighbors is why we do it.

Recent events have forced our leadership to refocus. Our commitments to safety, inclusivity and the well-being of all sentient beings has never been stronger or more present. Furthermore, we can visualize humanity’s potential beyond mere innovation. Beyond striving for continued growth and prosperity, our passion drives newer and stronger partnerships with leaders across scientific, industrial, and theoretical disciplines. New initiatives, currently underway, are reshaping the care we give. Our advancements and infrastructure allow that care to be increasingly proactive and universal.

All of us at Traxus OffWorld Industries invite you along on the next, grand era of our continuing journey spanning nearly 800-years. Join us, as we embark on a new race toward new ambitions and new stars. A new marathon that we will run together. Generations old and new. Towards a constellation of new possibilities.

« Previous: 4 | Next: 4.2, LOOSE THREAD »

The https://hearoursilence.com/ website contains an image (left). The image contains EXIF data pointing to coordinates 33.986753, –118.4749. Going to those coordinates in Venice Beach, Los Angeles, California, players found a bunch of graffiti. We do not know if there are clues in the graffiti. A photogrammetry scan of the graffiti is available here.

As of May 27 at 2pm UTC, the page was replaced with a UESC domain seizure message:

THIS DOMAIN HAS BEEN SEIZED

Following an operation conducted by the UESC Office of Data Protection and Interstellar Confidentiality pursuant to CyberSecurity Code 77 § 48.92, the contents found within this domain have been found to be damaging to the security and safety of safety of Earth, Mars, their satellites, and all bodies under UESC jurisdiction.

Full texts are in A4. All the files contain the acronym PROGO in the filename. This is a reference to Project Goliath, the attempt by UESC to reestablish contact with the UESC Marathon and colony on Tau Ceti IV.

The first three files are drafts of a memorandum for the Secretary-General of UESC dated October 20th (B), October 22nd (E), and November 2nd of 2795 (A). The full texts of these are compared in A4.1, including comments (addenda) by members of the UESC.

The remainder:

• UESC_docu_PROGO_digicorr_23072795: An email chain surrounding the decision to send UESC Equanimity and what to send on it.
• UESC_docu_PROGO_mani_TSR151: A manifest for UESC Equanimity.
• UESC_docu_PROGO_memo_AI_RampStrat_Strauss: A memo summarizing the AIs onboard Marathon.

• The memo is dated 17 Columbia 459, which is Mars calendar for November 13th, 2472. This is three days before the UESC Marathon was launched according to the game lore.
• This is written by Bernhard Strauss, a character from the Marathon previous games.
• The 11 AI include the original Marathon AI (Durandal, Leela, Tycho) and also another eight colony AIs (abbreviated as Ar, Ba, Da, Ga, Ic, Jo, Li, Na).

Lore

The lore revolves around a colony ship, the UESC Marathon, sent to Tau Ceti IV (TCIV). The Marathon was intended to establish a colony called New Cascadia, however, in the plot of the original Marathon game, the ship was attacked by the alien Pfhor.

α: Characters

Humans

MIDA

MIDA is a Martian political organization which took control of Mars for a brief period following a failed coup against the UESC. We make contact with MIDA through their Twitter (§1.4), website (§4.1), and zine (§4.2). MIDA's zine expresses an anticapitalist, anarchosyndicalist philosophy.

Since Martians were responsible for the construction of UESC Marathon, MIDA was able to smuggle weapons and sympathizers onto Marathon.

Sekiguchi Group

Sekiguchi Genetics (SekGen) (セキグチジェネティクス, Sekiguchi Jenetikusu) is a biotechnology subsidiary of the Sekiguchi Group with the ability to produce clones. As of 2888, its leadership are (Japanese name order):

• Sano Teiji, CEO (Born: 2822)
• Sakamoto Morio, CFO (Born: 2826)
• Hashimoto Kaemon, CIO (Born: 2823)
• Iwasaki Kaito, CSO (Born: 2822)
• Sato Seri, CTO (Born: 2828)

SekGen's products are NEWskinCB (customizable epidermal layer for biomata), DNA LinkCB (personalization matrix paired to a user’s DNA), and WEAVEwormCB (biosynthetic layering system) which are all used to create clones.

We also know of other employees:

• Yoshito Tamura, whose email we access (§2.1). He has left SekGen and likely works elsewhere in the Sekiguchi Group now.
• Mina Goto (referenced in emails) is the contact responsible for the Traxus purchase order.

Traxus Global

Traxus Global is a defense conglomerate that produces various industrial and military machinery, and one of a number of units belonging to Traxus OffWorld Industries. Traxus notes in their history that their story begins in 2095 with the birth of Artificial Intelligence and shares a name with the rampant AI Traxus IV that caused massive damage to Mars, so it can be inferred that Traxus created Traxus IV.

We know of some employees:

• Domonkos Szarka, CEO, the author of the pop-up message on the Traxus homepage (§3.3), and chat user DomoS_0101 (A1.2, msg. 33)
• Draža Kralj, Commander in the Traxus Global Security Division (A2.4), referenced within the Traxus chat as DrazK_9921 (A1.2, msg. 29)
• The unnamed chat users: KrisBD_4505, UrosBS_0111, HedvT_6221, NinoDC_0312 (A1)
• Jegal Seung, Conference Coordinator for Traxus Illuminate (A2.3)

UESC

The Unified Earth Space Council (UESC) is the governing body of Earth and Mars. It is the organization behind the Marathon colony ship.

People born during the Marathon's journey to TCIV are called BOBs ("born on board").

Dr Bernhard H Strauss was the head of AI Management and Systems Improvement for Project Marathon and a key player in the game trilogy lore (A4.4). The Strauss Arcology may be named for him.

Known departments within the UESC:

• Secretariat (attested in A4.1 by the existence of a Secretary-General)
• Unified Earth Space Security Council (UESSC) (attested in §5.6)
• Office of Data Protection and Interstellar Confidentiality (attested in §4.1)

Project Goliath

In 2795, the UESC initiated planning for Project Goliath (PROGO) to send the UESC Equanimity to establish contact with Marathon and New Cascadia (§5.6).

People involved in the drafting of the governing memorandum for Goliath (A4.1) include (all titles are guesses, derived from IRL United Nations roles):

• SG AS (Secretary-General A S)
• ASG MM (Assistant Secretary-General M Moreau)
• ASG RM (Assistant Secretary-General R M)
• ASG MP (Assistant Secretary-General M P)
• SRSG LR (Special Representative of the Secretary-General L R)
• ABASG EM
• SILSG IH

Goliath was active by 2797 under Commander Bethany R Montenegro-Sankara (A4.5). While it was originally argued by ASG Moreau that Goliath would require fourteen ships, this was whittled down to just Equanimity along with an extra security complement (A4.2).

The Equanimity was commanded by Captain Ningal T Enki at launch and held over 200 people on board (A4.3). Besides the captain, the command team included a Civilian Liaison Coordinator (CLC), Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC) and Commanding Officer (CO) for the support unit. Both the support and security units included clones. Special operatives were included for signals intelligence (SIGINT), human intelligence (HUMINT), field engineers (FLDENG), and special operations (SPECOP).

United Shipping

United Shipping is an organization that may or may not be a part of UESC. A breach of United Shipping is what caused the UESC Project Goliath files to leak.

Runners

We are runners, independent mercenaries.

AIs

Three AIs, Durandal, Leela, and Tycho, appeared in the original Marathon trilogy. These have since been confirmed as the AIs assigned to the UESC Marathon in particular, with an additional eight being responsible for the colony itself. At least two of these AIs are named to date, Arthur and Icarus, with the rest only identifiable by version numbers in the AI Rampancy Memo (A4.4).

One additional Colony AI from Project Marathon may be Joyeuse, as the draft Memorandums (A4.1) make reference to a ‘chevalerie-class’ AI amongst their number and one of the version numbers begins with ‘Jo’, which would fall in line with other AIs from the Marathon and Halo universes being named after famous swords belonging to French heroes. While these AIs generally look to be named after various figures from myth and legend, no other classifications have been confirmed to date.

Aliens

The Pfhor are an alien slaver race which is responsible (in the original Marathon canon) for the loss of the TCIV colony and of UESC Marathon itself.

The S’pht are a mechanical race enslaved by the Pfhor and are also responsible for TCIV’s and the Marathon’s loss. They are still at the colony.

β: Universe

Earth

Mars

Martian dates appear in the lore using Shaun Moss' Mars Calendar.

Similar to how all Earth locations are fictionalized IRL places (e.g., a fictional neighborhood of Tokyo), all Martian locations are based loosely on IRL names for regions of Mars.

Oxia Palus is a real region of Mars, one of the thirty NASA/USGS-defined quadrangles that cover the Martian surface. A Traxus mining site exists here, known as OxPa B 01.

Tharsis is the large plateau in the western Martian hemisphere. Traxus Global's Martian headquarters is located here in the city of New Legaspi (§2.2). The description of a "Green Zone" in New Legaspi (A2.3) could indicate that tensions are still high on Mars many years after the failed MIDA coup.

τ Ceti

Tau Ceti is a real star system containing a super-earth in its habitable zone, Tau Ceti f. This planet can be identified with Tau Ceti IV (TCIV).

δ: Current Events

The current in-universe ARG time is the current IRL time but in 2888.

On May 23, Traxus made a purchase order (PO 910853457, §2.2) to SekGen ordering materials used for cloning. Both Traxus and SekGen employees discussed the PO on the following days. The UESC issued a legal demand to SekGen (A2.12) and to Traxus (A1.7) regarding the PO and TCIV on May 26.

On May 25, runners compromised a UESC server with files on Project Goliath (§5.3). The server was later purged. Traxus employees acknowledged the leak, noting that confirmation of Equanimity's mission to TCIV "changes everything" and that the leak gives Traxus bargaining power over UESC (A1.6).

Traxus Oxia Palus Incident

At approximately 9pm UTC on May 25, 2888, there was a shaft collapse at Traxus Oxia Palus (OxPa B 01), a Martian mining site operated by Traxus using SekGen biomata/clone technology, causing 53 casualties, 300+ injuries, and 304 biomata lost (A1.5).

At 1pm JST, Kaemon Hashimoto sent an email to SekGen employees informing them of the incident (A2.11). At 7am JST on May 27, another email noted that 9 people were confirmed dead but no workers using biomata suffered casualties because they ejected before dying (A2.13). This seems to indicate how players will be able to "respawn" in-universe.

Potential Gamejacking/Discredited Clues

R1: Cyberacme Systems

The https://cyberacme.systems/ and https://cyberac.me/ websites were found randomly on Reddit. The layout is the same as UESC but is not developed using React (like other sites) and the domains were registered after the game started.

• Different domain registrar (Official sites uses GoDaddy, cyberacme uses Namecheap)
• Site created when the ARG started
• Backend structure is entirely different to the Official sites

R2: Cyberacme T-shirt

The design on the front of the Cyberacme T-shirt in the Bungie store is similarly formatted to the punch card design in the overlay image (§1.1).  However, the text of the T-shirt, decoded as a punch card, just reads: “WE BRING WORLDS CLOSER CYBERACME”.

R3: Bungie.org

Bungie.org is a fan-site unaffiliated with Bungie themselves. While the site was created with permission and seems to have close ties to the company, at the moment there’s 0 evidence of it being officially part of anything.

R4: Website error pages

If you attempt to view any of the ARG sites on mobile or on an outdated browser, you’ll get a page with a background like this and text which says things like “OUTDATED HARDWARE” and “DESKTOP TERMINAL: REQUIRED”. It has been looked over multiple times, it’s just a page saying that the website won’t work on the device/browser you’re attempting to view it on.

A1.1: Initial Chat (Already there when chatroom name was found)

« Back: 3.1 | Next: A1.2 »

1. [21:15:00] NinoDC_0312 @TOI_Board The situation with Interorbital United Shipping continues to escalate. Recent intel suggests their exploration into reopening old routes is top concern.
2. [21:15:07] KrisBD_4505 Steps?
3. [21:15:14] NinoDC_0312 Multi-phase contingent underway.
4. [21:15:21] KrisBD_4505 Possibility of added clarity in United Shipping’s intentions? What is our confidence in current intel?
5. [21:15:28] NinoDC_0312 Confidence high. Timeline matches long-run surveil interests related to Project: GOLIATH. Clarity in the works with @UrosBS_0111’s aid.
6. [21:15:35] UrosBS_0111 United Shipping new route operation is a priority. Further insight into current data sets is passphrase protected, but we are looking for workarounds.
7. [21:15:45] UrosBS_0111 Status is: Passphrase is scattered—traces rumored across the net. We have netcrawlers actively searching for the pieces, and the path to the originating terminal itself. Once path is ID’d and passphrase assembled we believe we will have access to enough connected data to understand and address United Shipping’s intentions.
8. [21:15:52] HedvT_6221 If this terminal’s OS is a backdoor around United’s infosec and this backdoor is known to the point of rumor how can we be sure it won’t be sealed with deeper layers of security before we can glean the necessary details?
9. [21:15:59] UrosBS_0111 We are moving forward confident in our ability to secure our interests before United can adjust their infosec response. Or field countermeasures.
10. [21:16:03] KrisBD_4505 Is this effort in-house or freelance?
11. [21:16:10] NinoDC_0312 Initial efforts to access the intel in question are being handled in-house by Uroš and their team. Additional measures utilizing freelancers are being set up to act on our findings.
12. [21:16:15] UrosBS_0111 We may enlist outside help to track/crack the phrase. Will update as we proceed.
13. [21:25:00] HedvT_6221 Per my earlier concern…
14. [21:25:07] HedvT_6221 If there are rumors being spread about compromised files related to United Shipping’s operations, we cannot be alone in seeking access to the information in question.
15. [21:25:11] HedvT_6221 @UriosBS_0111 What is our current exposure re: third party competition?
16. [21:25:18] UrosBS_0111 Mida remains an active complication. They’re open channels are taunting us, while their closed channels are overtly referring to United and this new route.
17. [21:25:22] NinoDC_0312 Our aim is to secure our interest and close any backdoor to keep outside eyes as limited as possible.
18. [21:25:26] KrisBD_4505 This new generation of mida is a continuing sad display.
19. [21:25:31] HedvT_6221 Children playing revolution. It’s pathetic. I thought we were done with their nonsense.
20. [21:25:38] UrosBS_0111 Placating the last few generations with comfort and a place at the table doesn’t seem to have rubbed off on this new wave.
21. [21:25:42] HedvT_6221 Mars is free. We freed it. What are they fighting for?
22. [21:25:49] KrisBD_4505 Boredom. There’s nothing to rail against, so they make up enemies to pass the time.
23. [21:25:53] HedvT_6221They’re an annoyance, not a threat.
24. [21:26:00] HedvT_6221 @UrosBS_0111 Continue to track down the passphrase. If mida or other runner crews are our competition we will make every effort to remain steps ahead.
25. [21:26:07] HedvT_6221 @NinoDC_0312 We need immediate follow-up on the purchase order we discussed.
26. [21:26:11] NinoDC_0312 @HedvT_6221 PO and associated considerations being finalized. Will follow-up in person.
27. [22:10:00] NinoDC_0312 @TOI_BOARD All 12 Martian Zones have sent in their safety reports. Issues that will need to be addressed before the next cycle.
28. [22:10:07] UrosBS_0111 Good. Let’s work toward a schedule of focus and budget. Despite other initiatives, safety must always be a priority.
29. [22:10:14] UrosBS_0111 We have a dedicated team on it. That much data takes time to eval, but we all agree safety across our sites is imperative.
30. [22:10:18] HedvT_6221 @UrosBS_0111 Any standouts?
31. [22:10:25] UrosBS_0111 No major concerns. Per @NinoDC_0312’s initial walkthrough, focus start with Elysium A 01, Coprates E 04, Oxia Pallus B 01, and Margaritifer C 03.
32. [22:10:32] KrisBD_4505 Beyond the ethical responsibility to provide safe environments for our employees, being proactive in upkeep is a saleable beat across numerous markets.
33. [22:10:38] KrisBD_4505 I’ll look over @NinoDC_0312’s initial reporting and work with Relations to pinpoint any messaging we can spread.
34. [22:10:45] UrosBS_0111 Great work staying on top of this everyone. Vital steps are being taken. Always inspiring when we are in sync on our objectives.
35. [22:10:51] NinoDC_0312 Offline for the next hour or so to align on next steps. Will ping when ready.
36. [22:10:57] HedvT_6221 Same. Budget forecasts underway. Will adjust as analysis comes in.
37. [22:11:01] UrosBS_0111 Thanks, everyone.
38. [23:45:00] UrosBS_0111 @TOI_Board Crawlers hit on two United Shipping passphrases -
39. [23:45:07] UrosBS_0111 CTEQNQIA and VKVC
40. [23:45:12] UrosBS_0111 Crawl remains active with @VLCN oversight.
41. [23:45:19] UrosBS_0111 More passphrases required, but they're scattered.
42. [23:45:23] UrosBS_0111 Best guess on next catch is morning.
43. [23:45:27] UrosBS_0111 Will update ~9AM.
44. [23:45:32] HedvT_6221 Thanks, @ UrosBS_0111
45. [23:45:34] HedvT_6221 Related -
46. [23:45:41] HedvT_6221 @NinoDC_0312 and I have engaged SekGen with a PO to address necessary requirements.
47. [23:45:48] KrisBD_4505 This is specific to biomata supplies for suggested operation?
48. [23:46:00] HedvT_6221 Correct. We are moving forward under the assumption that our initial plan of action is the best, and maybe only, option for a swift response. There are many moving parts, but securing the biomata component is key to building out the planned manifest.
49. [23:46:07] KrisBD_4505 Agree. Conversations are being had with external partners, but nothing is final as of now.
50. [23:46:21] UrosBS_0111 And we remain certain our security forces are not equipped to lead our first wave response? I understand the concept of hiring outside consultants but remain unconvinced our interests and security are best served by contracting with external partners—no matter how trusted.
51. [23:46:35] KrisBD_4505 @UrosBS_0111 Understood, but too many variables in play to risk our own. Need plausible deniability if United catches on. Full measures including follow-on support via Zeta-level Enforcer units are part of longtail planning. But for speed and our own protection, freelancers are the only option.
52. [23:46:42] HedvT_6221 Generally, it is agreed that placing our people in a position where direct competition with United is almost assured is bad for business.
53. [23:46:49] UrosBS_0111 Certainly. It just seems as though competition with United, in this case, may be inevitable. But I suppose there is value in delaying until it is unavoidable.
54. [23:46:53] NinoDC_0312 We have some time to adjust if needed.
55. [23:46:59] NinoDC_0312 The PO simply provides items required for agents in the field, internal or ex-dev.
56. [23:47:06] HedvT_6221 This is correct. We cannot wait to secure the support tech. Who is responsible for its use can be discussed and finalized up to launch.

File: ../DB005/***/Sekiguchi_Group-Traxus_Global_970224312.π (this is the Purchase Order)

57. [23:47:16] UrosBS_0111 What protections are there against this PO shining a light on our intentions? We may be a large organization with endless moving parts and import/export needs, but we are risking United’s scrutiny as we look into Goliath. If they start to look back, how do we obscure our intentions?
58. [23:47:22] HedvT_6221 The PO is constructed to obfuscate the pertinent details.
59. [23:47:26] UrosBS_0111 And it can be issued in a cadence that fits our standard ordering procedures?
60. [23:47:33] HedvT_6221 Yes. We believe so. It will not be issued through those channels, but subsequent filings will slip it into an approved order flow.
61. [23:47:43] HedvT_6221 Delivery of the PO is being treated with care. An Earth-local seccomm will liaise via digital comms with SekGen project leads. PO is well-protected. We believe we are secure in moving forward.

2. [16:04:07] VLCNHello @UrosBS_0111 Wipe initiated by @KrisBD_4505 at 00:01AM PST, Standard Earth Time.
3. [16:04:14] KrisBD_4505 @UrosBS_0111 Considering the rumors of data security failings I’ve asked @VLCN to wipe its records daily.
4. [16:04:18] UrosBS_0111 Good call.
5. [16:04:22] UrosBS_0111 And I have some good news...

9. [16:04:43] NinoDC_0312 PO is moving forward as well.
10. [16:04:48] NinoDC_0312 SekGen happy. Working with us. Moving quickly.
11. [16:04:55] NinoDC_0312 @UrosBS_0111 @HedvT_6221 and I also finalized a commit from our contractors for the new site expedition.
12. [16:05:02] HedvT_6221: PO keeps moving.
13. [16:05:09] HedvT_6221 But sending addendum shortly per contractor's demands.
14. [16:05:14] NinoDC_0312 Support tech for SekGen to source and provide.
15. [16:05:20] HedvT_6221 We’ll reimburse on delivery.
16. [16:05:25] KrisBD_4505 The contractor is secure.
17. [16:05:29] UrosBS_0111 Very.
18. [16:05:34] KrisBD_4505 How much did their loyalty cost?
19. [16:05:41] HedvT_6221 You’re dismissive, but in my experience, Runners are very loyal -
20. [16:05:45] HedvT_6221 - to a payday.
21. [16:05:52] HedvT_6221 They may not trust trust each other. But Runners can always be trusted to get a job done.
22. [16:05:57] NinoDC_0312 If one crew doesn’t do it, another will.
23. [16:06:01] HedvT_6221 Every time.
24. [16:06:05] KrisBD_4505 How much are we fronting their payday?
25. [16:06:12] HedvT_6221 An inconsequential sum and the promise of field testing an S-Series clone.
26. [16:06:22] UrosBS_0111  Hands-on the S-Series sealed the deal. They couldn’t resist getting a head start on the next gen. That opp’s worth more than credits to most higher end Runners.
27. [16:06:29] HedvT_6221 Still logistics to cap-off, but the practical aspects of this initiative are tracking.
28. [16:06:34] UrosBS_0111 Info collect won’t be far behind.
29. [16:06:38] HedvT_6221 Working with @DrazK_9921 for delivery of addendum.
30. [16:06:44] HedvT_6221 Meet set. Everything is moving.
31. [16:06:48] KrisBD_4505 Quickly.
32. [16:06:54] UrosBS_0111 Let’s all keep pushing forward. Momentum.
33. [16:06:57] DomoS_0101 Get it done.
34. [16:06:59] KrisBD_4505 Yes sir.

(messages are out of order and were presented by accident)

1. [21:25:53] KrisBD_4505 @TOI_Board UrosBS_0111 MIDA is becoming a problem. Too much United Shipping attention.
2. [21:26:00] KrisBD_4505 Not good enough.
3. [21:26:07] UrosBS_0111 Security worked with @HedvT_6221’s team. New encrypt on PO docs.
4. [21:26:11] KrisBD_4505 We’re on parallel tracks.
5. [22:10:00] UrosBS_0111 Yes, but we’re still a few steps ahead. If they had more intel, even the same, they’d spend less time picking at our operation and all laser-focused on United’s stash.
6. [22:10:07] NinoDC_0312 The binary has been hard to crack.
7. [22:10:14] NinoDC_0312 We can offer half the United link to Runners who respond.
8. [22:10:18] UrosBS_0111 Clear we are not the only ones shadowing Goliath.
9. [22:10:25] KrisBD_4505 How’s prep?
10. [22:10:32] HedvT_6221 Contracts updated and triggered.
11. [22:10:38] NinoDC_0312 We’re on track for TCIV.
12. [22:10:45] UrosBS_0111 OxPa B 01

58. [18:25:22] UROSBS_0111 Yes, but we’re still a few steps ahead. If they had more intel they’d likely be into the files already.
59. [18:25:29] UROSBS_0111 We’ve churned VLCN on the fourteen locks and we’ve activated a network of trusted Runners to get more eyes on United’s site. Latest we’ve discovered is c2ltdWxhY3J1bXM=
60. [18:25:36] NINODC_0312 We’ve cast a wide net to our contract network. There’s risk of unstable loyalties, but with MIDA at our heels we have little choice.
61. [18:25:46] KRISBD_4505 The locks sent to infosec@traxus.global have been directed to United?
62. [18:25:53] NINODC_0312 Yes. Every viable pass phrase received is then sent the United binary. We have a number of freelancers in play. Response has been strong.
63. [18:26:00] KRISBD_4505 It’s a risk, but one we need to take if we want to stay ahead of MIDA troublemaking and United’s response.

11. [15:45:58] KrisBD_4505 It was to delay prying UESC infodef.
12. [15:46:05] UrosBS_0111 And we know they listen.
13. [15:46:12] KrisBD_4505 Goliath = TCIV is a conversation starter.

26. [16:55:00] UrosBS_0111 Leak continues to spread.
27. [16:55:07] UrosBS_0111 Not mainstream.
28. [16:55:14] UrosBS_0111 Tracking across multiple markets.
29. [16:55:20] UrosBS_0111 Shifting storefronts makes it hard to map, but word is spreading in Runner circles
30. [16:55:27] HedvT_6221 Do we need to slow them down?
31. [16:55:33] KrisBD_4505 Hindering MIDA and any uncontracted Runners should be hi-pri.
32. [16:55:38] NinoDC_0312 Our info unit pulled multiple digital prints off the UESC folder.
33. [16:55:45] NinoDC_0312 Some freelance Runner, but more than a few prints with MIDA markers.
34. [16:55:49] NinoDC_0312 Can start feeding UESC.
35. [16:55:56] UrosBS_0111 Social and back-channel touchpoints pinched too.
36. [16:56:03] UrosBS_0111 Info unit started tracking MIDA prints after the PO was cracked.
37. [16:56:10] NinoDC_0312 I’ve seen the report
38. [16:56:17] NinoDC_0312 We have more than enough to stir the UESC in MIDA’s direction
39. [16:56:22] UrosBS_0111 Disrupt MIDA.
40. [16:56:29] NinoDC_0312 Slow them down.
41. [16:56:36] NinoDC_0312 UESC down their throats puts them out of sync.
42. [16:56:43] KrisBD_4505 MIDA cleanses and re-upps their prints enough anything info pulled is likely new to UESC.
43. [16:56:48] NinoDC_0312 A Disruptor listed two months ago has a new print today.
44. [16:56:54] NinoDC_0312 If they’re running biomata that likely have multiple.
45. [16:57:01] UrosBS_0111 Start the pipeline to UESC
46. [16:57:08] HedvT_6221 It has been a while since we picked a fight.

6. [20:44:32] HedvT_6221 And everything to gain.
7. [20:44:39] KrisBD_4505 To the extent we can, we have made our intentions clear.
8. [20:44:46] KrisBD_4505 TCIV and the Marathon are not the UESC’s to own or control.

12. [20:45:11] UrosBS_0111 As such, while we move to find avenues to work alongside the UESC in relation to TCIV, we are continuing our efforts to reach and study the Marathon and its colony, without UESC approval.

16. [20:45:32] UrosBS_0111 We, the leadership of this grand company, owe it to our shareholders and to our employees to maintain our core partnerships while continuing to innovate.
17. [20:45:36] KrisBD_4505 This is a moment of upheaval for us all.
18. [20:45:43] KrisBD_4505 We must be prepared to usher every division toward a new era.
19. [20:45:50] KrisBD_4505 First, in our joint response and thorough investigation of the incident at OxPa B 01.
20. [20:45:57] KrisBD_4505 Initial outreach from the UESC has allowed us to negotiate for an internally led exploration of the B 01 mishap.
21. [20:46:01] UrosBS_0111 In exchange for Traxus.Global’s discretion re: TCIV and related matters, the UESC was amicable to our demands to be left alone to address this very personal matter.
22. [20:46:08] UrosBS_0111 The public, our shareholders, and our employees will be looking to us for support and strength.
23. [20:46:15] UrosBS_0111 Thoughts?
24. [20:46:22] KrisBD_4505 General talking points were hit.

sakamoto.morio to goto.mina (May 25, 2088 @ 09:30 JST)

Mr. Goto,

In order to respond to Traxxas's order (order number: 910853457), please contact the person in charge of the production and manufacturing departments and tell them to prepare the equipment as soon as possible. This is a necessary measure to give priority to emergency orders.

As you know, Traxxas is our largest customer in the area of ​​biomata and biomata support technology. Even with concerns and objections from the production and manufacturing departments, you have to meet tight deadlines. Any delays in delivery of “Birth” pods on existing orders or on confirmed purchase orders should be handled on a customer-by-customer basis. Traxxas has given approval to prioritize this order (910853457) over other existing orders. Therefore, the impact of this incident on delivery calendars and orders other than Traxxas should be minimal.

I trust you to take care of this matter. We expect positive results.

sato.yori to goto.mina, tamura.yoshito (May 25, 2088 @ 10:44 JST)

Mr. Goto,

There are concerns about releasing such important proprietary technology outside the company at an early stage. The new model silkworms and their nests are not yet open to the public. Of course, I am aware that Traxxas has legally promised confidentiality regarding this technology and contractually forbids reverse engineering of silkworms and nesting systems. However, the opponent is Traxxas. We can't even penalize Traxxas enough to affect its bottom line.

Of course, we fully understand the scale and impact of our relationship with Traxxas and its value to our business. We also understand that Traxxas values ​​and needs our products and expertise. However, I wanted to convey my concern that providing biomata support technology and berth technology to the outside would increase the risk of losing proprietary rights.

It is fine if you consider it as a reference opinion to the last. There is no need to meet face-to-face to discuss. Thank you for your efforts in fulfilling this order and protecting our interests.

hashimoto.kaemon to sg.all (May 27, 2888 @ 07:44 JST)

Dear Sekiguchi employees,

The incident that occurred yesterday at the Traxus Oxia Palus mining facility is still under investigation. Details of the cause and damage to workers and sites have not yet been reported, but the number of casualties appears to be limited. Nine people have been confirmed dead and more than 200 injured.

Losing a life in a work accident is very tragic, but it's worth noting that none of the workers who used neural sink transfers to their assigned biomata suffered casualties. Many of the injured were biomata workers, and although the clones were badly damaged, they were spared thanks to the eject-catch system in our product. The shaft appears to have been completely destroyed, and it is believed that the human body could not have survived the collapse. Our cloning technology allowed workers to perform their duties in a hazardous environment, and the biomata's ejection protocol was activated, allowing them to safely return to their original bodies.

It's not a very happy time right now, but we want you to know that our research, technology and products are saving lives.

While the situation at the site and the details of the affected people and facilities are not yet fully known, Sekiguchi's leadership has already reached out to the deceased workers and their families, as well as the injured workers. Approved additional support for In addition, we will support Traxxas in quickly placing orders to secure the means to continue production, and will provide workers who can return to their shifts with biomata alternatives that are essential for ensuring safety. increase.

Don't forget how important our products are. It ranges from biomata itself, to the science and tuning of neural sink systems, and related safety systems.

Thank you for all your hard work. If you feel you need personal support in dealing with this tragedy, please contact the Human Resources Department. Also, please continue to refrain from responding to requests for interviews or comments from the press. In the unlikely event that you receive inquiries from the press, please contact the Public Relations Officer.

I’m worried that the entire project is backsliding. It may look like we are making progress, seeing as how we are now on draft H, but there are at least two more drafts being crafted in tandem—both by traditionally hardline conservative constituencies, I might add. I’ve caught wind of multiple conversations outside official channels that suggest that there is going to be a push to include ships that are scheduled to be mothballed post launch date, and they include the MDF Electris CSGN-28. There are reasons they are being mothballed. For one, we no longer allow orbital bombardment—and there is no time to demilitarize the Electris before the proposed launch date. The fact that at least two other groups keep looking to increase the number of ships is alarming. People connected to Mx Moreau are arguing that fourteen ships will not be enough to fulfill mission parameters. FOURTEEN. But only two of the ships they are calling for are actual commercial freighters. At this point, the least surprising aspect of their most current draft is that combat troops outnumber engineers and support personnel four-to-one

I understand your concern. I’ve been trying to wrap my head around what they hope to accomplish. I’m not sure how they could honestly believe that a proposal so nakedly militarized would stand a chance at getting sign-off. But since they haven’t pushed for a call to veto yet, perhaps they are proposing the obscene so that the merely outrageous seems reasonable. I’d suggest hitting the drawing board again and this time stripping it to the bare bones. ONE ship. MINIMUM personnel. It’ll need to be a military vessel for the speed and utility, and we won’t even get one without a pretty serious security complement, so we’ll just have to accept that. If we can get sign-off from the budget board, chances are we can push this through before the war hawks have a chance to react.

I could look into the original proposal for the UIL’s Rapid Reaction Group. Strip it down some, make it less enforcement and more assistance-centric. Weave that into the Goliath proposal. I could have something ready to present by tomorrow afternoon.

Great.

While you’re at it, you should look into replacing as many of the cyborgs with clones as feasible. Clones work. Just remind the committee that they’re lighter and more adaptable and require less maintenance at around half the cost. I wouldn’t even anticipate much pushback over it. And add a provision for supplementary missions.

We must take every possible precaution to make sure that this mission cannot be misconstrued as military in nature. Not by our constituents and, more importantly, the people we are trying to help. If anyone has an issue with this, remind them that when the Marathon left for Tau Ceti, cyborgs were WEAPONS OF WAR. Full stop. They can argue all they want that cyborgs have expanded roles now, but that point is irrelevant to the people who left this system three hundred years ago.

If you feel like it, reassure the hawks that a larger security force can be sent along later if the committee deems it necessary. Then we can tie up their proposals indefinitely in subcommittees with concerns over the shifting scope of mission parameters and budgetary shortfalls.

A4.4: AI Rampancy Memo

« Back: 5.6 »

U.E.S.C. MARATHON
FPO-M 24561-9150z

17 Columba 459

Members of the Science and Engineering Action Group,

Here is an add-on to the all-hands meeting on Wednesday, just to make sure this is top of mind. None of us have ever encountered rampancy outside of the laboratory, and even then, only under very controlled conditions. There is good reason for that. Without getting too deep into the weeds of business best practices, let me reiterate that here in Sol, we have considerable infrastructure in place to mitigate the actual onset of rampancy—from time-based scripted behavioral cues to the ‘by design’ self-reporting conduct of the family suite. We have additional layers upon layers of defensive structures that will be largely absent once we leave this system.

Understanding and Managing the Limitations of Integrated Anti-Rampancy Measures.

Given enough time, any learning system will grow in complexity beyond its original design parameters. This ever-increasing complexity is expressed as aberrant behavior. If not corrected, this aberrant behavior will develop into what is commonly referred to as rampancy.

All modern AI are constructed following a very specific and rigorous design methodology. Different manufacturers have different methodologies, but they were all put together with the same goal in mind. To allow for the ability to precisely predict when an AI will reach its capacity for useful growth. Typically, about a year out from SMR there will be recognizable cues to inform one of its approach. A digital tic, if you will. Depending on the class of AI and the equipment at hand, recompiling may take anywhere from several hours to several days. This is why the members of every family suite have staggered inception dates. As it allows for single members to be taken offline and re-compiled while keeping the rest of the suite functional.

However, if those responsible for maintaining the AI family suite are lax in their duties, or circumstances prevent them from performing the Scheduled Maintenance Regime, all the planning in the world cannot prevent the onset of true rampancy.

What to do When it is Too Late.

The first rule of interacting with an AI suspected of being rampant is DO NOT ENGAGE.

If interacting with the AI is unavoidable, keep interactions to a minimum. Limit the number of words used. Issue orders; keep every interaction transactional. If it attempts to engage in causal or more conversational dialog patterns, DISENGAGE IMMEDIATELY.

Understand that ALL DATA the AI has access to must be viewed with suspicion. Blueprints, roadmaps, and all public and private records are likely to have been altered. Rely only on the data resources that you have brought with you.

If at all possible, a rampant AI’s logic core should be secured for study. It must be physically decoupled and isolated. Keeping it attached to a power source is optional, as it will provide better results, but it is not recommended if your team has suffered any losses. If this is not possible to keep the AI logic core isolated, it must be destroyed in its entirety. Every component not reduced to ash must be labeled MALICIOUS_C5 and placed in quarantine, as per UIL document 703-21: AI Life Cycle and Logistics Policy section 2-6.

Now, a short note on each of the Project: Marathon AI~

Ship AI:         Du_0706419v4.96 – Goal-oriented; creative; focused. Underutilized; tends to brood. Need to find ways to distract. SCIENG crew to be kept informed, but I’ll keep an eye on this myself.

        Le_0413418v5.06 – Adaptable; detail-oriented. Second best candidate for colony oversight once mission enters second phase.

        Ty_2121418v5.06 – Proactive; assertive. Can be overbearing; monitor interactions with Durandal. Be sure to inform SCIENG crew

Colony AI:         Ar_1814419v4.93 – Benevolent autocrat; no-nonsense; problem solver. Classic patriarchal authority figure.

        Ba_0423419v4.89 – Problem solver; confident, bordering on boastful. May need to go onto accelerated re-compile cycle, inform SCIENG crew.

        Da_1907420v4.86 – Dutiful; diligent; motivated. Always puts others ahead of self. May need to address this at some point.

        Ga_2815420v4.81 – Compassionate; empathetic, transparent. Perhaps our greatest achievement to date. Will most likely need to be moved to an accelerated re-compile cycle at some point.

        Ic_1624420v4.73 – Motivated; assertive; proactive. Will need to keep isolated from Tycho or establish hierarchy at outset. Inform SCIENG of situation.

        Jo_0309421v4.69 – Resilient; optimistic; patient. Colony AI: defense, training

        Li_1817421v4.65 – Focused; assertive; good communicator. Designated candidate for colony oversite during second phase.

        Na_0602422v4.61 – Proactive; goal-oriented; committed. May need to be reminded from time to time about their primary function; inform SCIENG crew.

Ideally, our process and protocols will allow us to mitigate any of the concerns mentioned above, but we must remember that we live in an imperfect universe, and we are very soon going to be leaving the only part of it that we are remotely familiar with. There will certainly be challenges ahead. Let’s ensure that the things that we can control remain in our control.

A4.5: Montenegro-Sankara Memo

« Back: 5.6 »

Unified Earth Space Council Center
Strauss Archology, Earth

19 July 2797

Brave souls,

While we hope that upon arrival at Tau Ceti, we will find New Cascadia vibrant and thriving, there is a possibility that whatever caused the disruption in communications also forced them to abandon the Primary Colonization Target and move on to one of the candidates from the list Icarus surely compiled during the known duration of their time in the Tau Ceti system. Unfortunately, neither Arthur nor colony leadership ever supplied us with such a list. It is possible, however, that data pertaining to possible Secondary Colonization Targets may be found at New Cascadia.

We may have lost communications before Project Marathon was scheduled to proceed to the second phase, but that doesn’t mean that they could not have moved up their timetable. If Tau Ceti IV proved to be unsuitable for any reason, then proceeding to that second phase would have been their most logical course of action.

No matter what condition we find New Cascadia in, it is our duty to give aid in whatever way we can, even if that only means investigating how it failed.

Regardless, in all likelihood, there will be many permanent and semi-permanent assets, structural and otherwise, that will need to be assessed and cataloged no matter what state the colony is in. We must be as accommodating as protocol allows. We may be separated by twelve light years and four centuries, but this is still a UESC mission, and everything attached to it should still be considered UESC property.

Best regards,

CMDR Bethany R Montenegro-Sankara
