let's tell Katherine, no real reason to keep it secret, besides she wasn't the one doing the experiments we got nothing against her.

Lets look at the other encrypted documents.

>>205785

The more people who know we know, the harder a time we'll have hiding that we know from the people who killed our predecessors. Don't tell Katherine unless it becomes knowledge she'd need to survive.

>>205827
what? it's talking about us. they killed us and then brought us back so we wouldn't remember the crystal cave or the experiments. which is moot now that we know. telling Katherine everything is important, she needs to trust us, with anything. it may drop in trust now as she is wary of us but a huge boost later when she realizes that it doesn't matter. we are helping her and that is that.

>>205839

Katherine is not the most important person here.

We are.

What we need to do is perform beyond all expectations for this test, and gain more trust from the horrible people who have been exploiting us. Once we have their trust, we will be able to plan our escape from their clutches, return home, and defend our people from being further exploited.

and who will return us? without a body we need someone to take us there. after the test they will simply stamp an 'approved' sticker on the project and strip mine the place. think like a corrupt business man. what is the first thing that you do with a successful product? make more. i highly doubt they will even give us a chance to fight back and just give us a zap pulse and kill us again as we served their purpose and have no use for us now. also, you are forgetting your place, we are guides and guiding is what we do revenge may be on the list but priorities say she is first.

...hmm, if we tell Katherine and get her to trust us she might be able to help us escape. Help her, she helps us.

But for now let's look at other data in our virtual memory.

First: What they did is wrong, and they deserve to be punished.
Second: Katherine is another victim here, and we need to help her as much as possible.
Third: Show us the encrypted documents then immediately switch back to Katherine. We can decode them while we help her out.

>>205909

We have access to this little mod-bot. We should leverage it to gain access to more mod-bots. As soon as possible we should take over a fabricator. Once we have that, we'll need to get a ship. That's the minimum equipment we will need to save our home.

The idea situation would be to play along with the Hexstation authorities and convince them to give us control of the majority of operations involved in harvesting our homeworld's crystals. Then, when we have a good grasp on as much matériel as possible, we turn on them and wage our defensive war.

>>205917

Showing the documents to Katherine will only further endanger her. Hexstation authorities won't want people without clearance knowing about our true nature.

Even if she keeps it a secret from them, how could knowing help her right now? If it had any value to her ability to survive this, I would agree, but it doesn't.

>>205919
I'm not suggesting we show her.
I'm suggesting that WE look at the still-encrypted documents and then start paying attention to her.

>>205918
that would be ideal but since when has anything ever gone the ideal route? they could simply decide to ignore everything we say.

>One more time to decrypt...

(I'm gonna give you all 4 hours to figure it out. This time, 1 prize.
Ready? GO!)

>cycle 1 of contact study 00162- new contact- vemuraxi
>log of deleted

>the vemuraxi are located on the planet vemur. this is to respect their language’s plurality. eg: vemurian vs. vemurax- person of vemur.

>they have four arms, and stubbyish legs compared to said arms. they seem to have evolved from a four legged creature which evolved to standing up. this might make them a humanoid, but we aren’t very sure as humanoids are generally 2 feet and 2 arms.
>that said, the way the 2 pairs of arms developed is astounding. the inner arms are more scrawny, but very dexterous. they have four outer fingers and a thumb. the fingers are very long and the palm matches the hand.
>the outer arms are different. they are much more bulky. they have hands made of 2 fingers and a thumb. all hands have claws, but the outer ones are much more long and developed

>the body itself is compact. we are waiting for the vemuraxi civilization of mogdath to approve the autopsy of one of their corpses. since we don’t know about the interior organs, we can go with what we know with the interior. i don’t exactly know how he did it, but private johan of the security force managed to obtain pictures of a female vemurax. from the data he got from conversing with said vemurax, we can see they share some mammalian characteristics. they appear to give live birth and copulate sexually. they also feed their children milk, if one can call a blueish liquid milk. johan also got a sample of this. several of the team still wants to know how he got these things, but as a higher up, i’ve denied this knowledge. it’d be much better not to resort to the brain bleach. male anatomy is not known, but we believe it is safe to think that they have penises.
>a vemurax is bi-retinal. it has three horns and a four sectioned mouth. they are also omnivores. there are different races of vemuraxi, though the differences are mainly color, speech, and minor body changes

>their language is a simple one, but holds the semantics of language quite well. they are decently advanced, and have gotten into a civilization stage of life. that said, there is something similar to a tribal way of thought. there appears to be tension between the blackbacks and whitebacks. brownbacks appear the most advanced of the groups since they don’t really have conflicts. a lot of greenbacks are more connected to nature. they’re similar to wood elves, though vemuraxi consider them ‘green freaks’, that there’s more important things than hugging ‘trees’.

>blackbacks are more nocturnal and seem to be more interested in more tropical areas. whitebacks are seen in plain areas and places that are cold. brownbacks stay around desert areas and plain areas. green backs… well they stay in the woods in their tree homes. that said, one can often see others in the other races areas. they have civilization afterall, but differences are differences.

>that is all we’ve gotten in a year of study, along with some of their language.

>this data needs encryption and high access as to hold off data from station researchers and workers. they’re supposed to be working. the research on vemur is to be carried out by the respective exploration. must also be encrypted so that future vemuraxi workers do not have to deal with the paranoia of being researched on. any human wouldn’t like knowing people are trying to learn about them.

>we will let workers know that vemurax exist, and that we shouldn’t mess around with them until they achieve advanced space travel. this will probably be once we stabilize relations with the vemurax nations.

oh cool, space thri-kreen.

Alright, give us the last document to decrypt and then let us get back to Kathrine.

>>206398
the fact that it is all caps makes me wary of it. it's encryption could be much more complex. but let's look at it just to be sure.

>Hey... it was done with the same pattern... or is it?

(you know the drill. And trust me, you'll probably be using them up like hotcakes if you don't manage what you do properly)

After this let's look at New doc.txt. Could be anything in there.

AKA focus on the here and now, not possible end games.

>CYCLE 0-

>LOG OF MAXWELL KENSINGTON

>AS THE FIRST AND HEAD SYSTEM OPERATING TECHNICIAN ON STATION, I HAVE DECIDED TO START MY OWN LOG JOURNAL. MY PENOR HAS KEPT THIS SHIP'S COMPUTERS AND AI'S RUNNING WELL. I AM THE AI DOCTOR I GUESS.

>A SYNDICATE HAS RECENTLY GIVEN ME AN INCENTIVE TO DEFECT, BUT I'VE REFUSED. THEY DON'T KNOW WHERE STATION IS, AND COULDN'T GET IN IF THEY TRIED. THROUGH THE USE OF SPACE STATION 13, A HIGH RISK STATION USED TO IMPROVE STATION DEVELOPMENT RESEARCH, NANOTRANSEN HAS GIVEN OUR COMPANY MUCH DATA FOR SECURITY AND SAFETY. WE TRAIN OUR PEOPLE MUCH HARDER, AND TAKE THE BEST. WE'VE DEVELOPED THE MODULE SYSTEM FOR PRACTICALITY. AS A BROTHER COMPANY, WE ENSURE WE EXPAND OUR REACH AND TECHNOLOGIES TO ENSURE WE STAY AHEAD.

>THE MAIN REASON I'VE STARTED THIS JOURNAL ARE THE MORE AND MORE UNNERVING THINGS I'VE OBSERVED IN THE FIRST FEW DAYS. THE STATION WAS FORMED OVER AN “UNCONTACTED” PLANET THAT IS CALLED VEMAR, AT LEAST ACCORDING TO THE CAPTAIN. THE COMPANY NEVER DOES ANYTHING WITHOUT REASON, WHICH IS WHY I HAVE REASON TO BELIEVE THAT THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT VEMAR. SOMETHING MUST HAVE BEEN DISCOVERED.

>I MAY NOT BE A SYNDICATE, BUT I KNOW THIS COMPANY HAS BECOME A CONQUEROR. THEY ALSO DON'T JUST SET UP TOP OF THE ART STATIONS IN DEEP SPACE. SOMETHING'S UP.

>IF IT COMES TO A HEAD, AND THE REAL SHIT GOES DOWN, MY GOAL IS TO GET INFORMATION WHERE IT NEEDS TO GO. THREE YEARS ON 13 AND SEVERAL YEARS IN OTHER ROLES ENSURE THAT I CAN HANDLE MYSELF. I NEED TO GET PEOPLE TO SAVE THEMSELVES. I JUST HOPE WHAT I DO IS FOR THE BEST OF EVERYTHING THAT LIVES.

Interesting. We have an ally. We need to find this Maxwell, if he's still alive.

Also, read New doc.txt.

so we are right above vemur. that makes things different. now i am REALLY for disclosing everything to kathrine. just need to get to the surface.

>>206569
I've gotta know how that man uses his penor so well, myself.

>>206567
>MY PENOR HAS KEPT THIS SHIP'S COMPUTERS AND AI'S RUNNING WELL.

Well, good to know that we've been proper fucked so far.
Show us the unencrypted documents, then immediately switch back to Kathrine. We've taken long enough to read these things already.

>>206567

Wow, how you do that? I can't substitute cipher worth a damn!

>Dear finder of these chips,
It appears shit has gone down. If so, AI 69 has probably been activated with either your own card or the card I’ve planted. You also were left behind. The finding of these chips means that either a partner was injured or that you checked the sleeper to see if it still worked. Either way, it’s great that you checked this out.
I’m writing this so fast, I don’t even care about the fact that it’s missing the title. This card and the one attached was created as to ensure that you have a better time living on this station after evacuation. You need to know what is happening. I’ve scattered other documents and chips around for you to find as need be. I don’t want to keep my eggs in one basket, do I?
This chip holds many schematics, textbooks, and digital suites for you to use in case it’s needed. I’ve attached schematics for a cutter module for module bot, a glock (a handgun from a looong time ago.), and a bullet (You’ll need a chemist for part of it).
Also a general textbook on basic fighting, just in case. Comes also with a Hacksuite for AI69 (decoder, packet_catcher, tempfwall, and many other virtual space hacking tools), and utilites for the PDA (flashlight, atmos scan, medical scan, sound synthesizer, wide spectrum camera adapter)
The summary of the situation is that we completely underestimated the Vemuraxi, the station, Vemur, and the existence of magic. Well, we knew that magic exists, but we don’t really have means of controlling it. Now, we know we’re fucked. I don’t know the details, but I’ve seen some pretty crazy shit already. And I’m not talking blobs. I’m talking full out monsters, and they aren’t vemuraxi either.
Take your time. Go back through the station. Some parts have less security now… well, less security guards.
I’m going to get into the high access wing and see what I can do. You’ll need to get your own high access card to get in. Good luck with that Survivor.
MK

>that wraps that up.
>back to video streams

well then. whoever gave us these already knew about us and knows that we know or will assume we know. since someone already knows we know keeping it secret is now moot, we tell kathrine the truth on the matter.

Well...

...Fuck.

Let's get those schematics made, and start looking for anyone who might have a high access key.

Clang? What metal did you hit?

was that the floor or did you hit some kind of implant in the rat?

>KJB reaches into it's mouth

KJB: "... I think it's a batch of metal... a raw metal cube. It's for use with our multitools to create things. Why it'd eat something like that is kinda odd... but hey, free metal. Probably the most useful thing at my disposal.

basic RPG mechanic? why would a wolf have a magic +5 fire resist ring? because.

anyway those chips had a few SCHMs and a few interesting files that i feel you should read.

>>207959
Hey, we got a bunch of text files for ya. Some schematics and manuals and stuff.

Let's make us that cutter tool. I think it'll be useful pretty soon.

>Cutter schm opened up
>proceed?

yeah sure. having SOMETHING on us should help. a ranged weapon would be best but this would do for now.

also, i vote we show kathrine all the documents. someone here already knows, and knows we know. so telling someone else wont make us worse off.

>>209222
Yes.

Why not build something for one of the modulebot's slots itself? I mean it'd be rather nice to be able to be able to act directly, no?

Also, NEW COMMAND INPUT: Please pop up an message whenever we have enough materials and/or schematics to build something. (i.e. an alert that pops up whenever we obtain the prerequisites to build anything we can)

>>209386
that's what the cutter does, it slots in and let's us cut stuff.

open door all the way and set turret targeting to identify as anything not us or known civilized race as hostile. then show Kathrine the documents. then move on.

have we shown all the files to her yet? if so then do that.

Perform psychiatric diagnosis on Katherine

KJB: "eh... looks like the only way to get in is more body looting... I can't believe I just said that either. May as well go down, and find the survivor. Don't you agree 69?"

-affirmative sounding beep-

But in all likelihood any access cards or whatnot might be found in the medbay, ask people do tend to get roughed up and their personal effects kept close by.

i agree, let's go to the med-bay and see if anyone is still there or dead.
