Private Files : Alec Wylde - Dave Synk - 01-28-2018
Log Entry 1: 825, 29th January
Author: Alec Wylde
This is my first entry after a long time. I gotta say it’s a strange time for Liberty. It’s like everyone tries to rip it off from all the sides. I guess that’s how Sirius' special snowflake always was. Had a gift to attract trouble. Some are real threats, others are just lost idealists. The Gallics pushed far into Sirius at a concerning rate. Since they ravaged a part of Bretonia, they are in California now. Command put the high alert and a system wide monitoring situation. Thing is that, all of my family is at L.A.
Amanda called, some hours ago. She said there is quite a scene around the streets of the city. In times of War, people are splitting as usual into extremes. Protests all over calling out the authorities for not securing our borders, the government.. everything. I understand them. To a regular civilian, seeing enemy vessels in his home system, and especially in the planet’s orbit, he thinks what did he do to deserve it. I cannot blame them. But they point the finger towards me. I am supposed to protect them 24/7. But nobody can do that. The Navy didn’t excelled only these two last days. I’ve seen the reports of the battles raging in California. Since I’m on duty aboard Norfolk, I cannot actually leave that quickly and during several zones, I could get shot down.
Not to mention the Legion. God they are so annoying sometimes. Especially their shitty attitude. It’s like they are injecting extra levels of testosterone. Acting all tough. They are just rebels. Perhaps they had an ideal years ago, perhaps they started like those civilians over Los Angeles who are frightened for their protection. I do not know. Thing is.. sometimes even in the most cruel enemy you can find a sign of humanity. Strangely when I went to hit the Hellfire with the Secondary, they didn’t started firing. They issued no orders to do that. They fired only to defend eventually.
Interesting. I watched what happened after that. It was a disaster. The lack of the Secondary captains’ experience, came with heavy casualties. Useless loss of life on both sides. As I said before, sometimes I wished it would’ve been another way. Perhaps there is, I am not sure yet. But after my ship got crippled to space dust almost, I watched in retreat. It was… pure entropy. All my senses told me it was wrong what was happening.
That thought led me to the Harmony. Months ago, a certain miss Victoria Knight sent me a series of data files since she saw I was not trigger-happy. I never managed to contact her back, I will relate on that in my next log. Thing is, I saw the files, that was indeed an interesting part. For a reason the Harmony was accused of infestation and the crew of it was sent to Juneau Shipyard. Of course all the possible treasons and accusations were addressed to these individuals.
Presumably the Harmony’s crew poked their nose into something. They strongly believe that the Liberty still has certain external “interventions”. It’s hard for me to believe that… I am a man of duty and honor. I… seem to act like a boyscout. I got this sense of duty from my ol’ man. “Alec, the duty and the family are above anything else. Respect your country, your duty and thus you respect your family.” Somehow I feel he always loved his duty more. I’ll talk about it more. Time to bunk in.

Entry Log 2. I’ve came back from my standard routine. A clean-sweep around Texas and New York. Little to no activity. Several merchants here and there stating the traffic was clean, except for an Outcast gunboat roaming around Pennsylvania. I called dispatch but they were most likely busy with the GRN efforts in Cali.
I’ve got a message from Amanda and my parents. They are making every preparation to move in the next week over Manhattan. It’s funny that Amanda always hated the capitol. Said that, as shiny as it looks, as filled with dirt it surely is. Bigger cities, bigger problems. To a certain perspective she is right. I’ve got a friend over LPI. You always hear about some gun shootings in the lower levels, suicide threats, radical protesters that can turn violent at times. Manhattan is a problem on another level.
On my last log, I mentioned Battlegroup Harmony. Well, digging into their details and finding the head news during that period, there were indeed some interesting implications with their group. It was allegedly declared that the Battlegroup is being accused of high-treason, making a general claim like “putting the integrity of the Liberty House at risk”. Coincidently, there was a shift in several ranks over LN and LSF around that date.
According to the files and the Navy/LSF’s promotions, several individuals were taken to Alaska for some high-security operations to be conducted. That was prior for the Harmony to be taken into custody by the Navy. Now, what the datafiles from miss Knight state, was that vessel with its assets, were taken to the Juneau Shipyard for interrogation.
Their capture was resulted from the disobeying of several strange orders that were given by command. That counts as, shooting certain trade ships that had no particular connections at all, destroy civilian liners even.. overtake several key civilian positions. Perhaps the Navy was paranoid with the Rheinlanders over the borders… but innocent civilians? There is a note in the file which states that the respective chain of command in that period was influenced by the external threat known as the Nomads.
That is strange. It was known that they were extinguished from the Houses, decades ago. One thing is sure, I will need to go further into this. I need to find a way to reach some more critical data, regarding that period… and who knows what I might find about it now. I need to be careful.
I also met the Harmony myself. An interesting ship with unique pieces of hardware as I managed to scan it as much as I could. The conversation was alright, I wanted to contact miss Knight but, someone else was aboard their flagship. I’ll try another time. I promised I’ll contact them further if I find anything useful.

Put in another follow up of my daily events, especially circulating around my suspicions. The day was quite clear and calm around New York again. The usual happening I guess, some pirates here and there and some crazy wackos claiming to be the rulers of men once in a while, I will skip logging such things and I will go into more personal things.
So here is the update on Amanda and my parent’s attempt to move out of California Minor. The good news is that I managed to reserve something for them on Manhattan. It’s cozy and nice. The very bad news though, is that the civilian transports in and out of Cali are very regulated because of the Gauls. To hell with those shrimp eating pompous arses.
Why the hell they need to poke their noses like that in Sirius. Their frustration of some “ancient betrayal” goes beyond ridicule. But… I cannot do anything about it. I cannot change the legislations over Los Angeles. Currently they are “Trapped” on that planet. Their clearance was delayed to an undetermined time. A friend of my old man, said that it might take at least another week or two, depending. It might be even earlier, nobody knows for sure.
I saw an AI drone the first time in my career. They are usually seen more in the Edge Worlds, but this guy was on a sort of pilgrim. It was interesting to say the least. It looked naïve to be honest, but Westpoint always told us to never assume the best of an enemy, but the worst he can be/do. This one seemed to be in his beginnings, for he was learning. Then I met a certain commander Watson of the 5th fleet. Now things went interesting.
Given my lead from the Harmony’s datafiles, I had to start digging more on Juneau. That is the turf of the 5th. I hesitated at first to explain this commander my motives, but I took a shot. And I was surprised that this guy had similar ideas to mine. The same suspicions, so I was not paranoid or felt like a traitor for questioning the motives, anymore. He claimed that he and the 5th found a trail on something very peculiar, that included the Nomad forces. He stated that the Nomad forces could be deeper integrated in our society, even within Harmony and Hellfire. That came from the supposition of the fabled Wilde Drake system, that I found out that it’s access point, exists in one of the Commonwealth’s systems. Given that link, who could exclude the possibility for the sinister Wilde to get once in a while in “contact” with the Commonwealth.
That was disturbing. He said that he was not alone in this investigation, he had an exterior contact that he could put me through so we wouldn’t rise any suspicions with our official Navy frequencies. The 5th put together a series of logs and documentation that point to this destabilization in which the Nomads could be involved and that they are staging a long run plan, given the late occurrences with the Legion, the Harmony and another strange group that arrived here and there in Liberty.
First of all.. it’s quite difficult for me to grasp this all. But if this guy is right… I will be gone on a very hard path. Currently I haven’t spoken with any of the LN command about this information. I don’t intend to. I will do my job officially but in my time I will start digging around more. I will have to see how to get access to the Juneau’s delicate datafiles. That’s gonna take a while. I will start looking for this contact, commander Watson told me about, but for that I’m gonna fire up the BlueHawk. Thankfully a friend of mine kept it in good shape over Earie.
I never thought I will second-thought the integrity of my home. I think it’s time for the boyscout to become frontrunner. I will return with my findings in the next log. I will upload the transcript so I can have it for future reference.

Was a tight day yesterday. I got my ship crippled to dust, thank god for the Universal Hazard Ejection system that is a standard in all the ships nowadays. Yeah… I got a beating up with the Legion boys. Well, I didn’t wanted entirely to fight it. I tried to do it at peace, but the god damn Admiral showed up. If it was an ensign or someone lower, I could’ve keep them at bay. I had it..
You know what’s funny? Is that if you try push the Legion harder, they are just getting more radical and yelling at you to do something, so they have a justification for their action. Why? Because that’s the labels they put on us. Not like we don’t have the labels on them too. I cannot say I have positive feelings towards them, but ever since I saw something in their behavior/pattern of their actions, I tried to change the attitude. They are still hotheaded and trying to impose the respect, fear whatsoever in their enemies. I passed through that, I know their charade every time and it’s obvious for what they believe against the Government and the Navy.
They tried to push me to fire against them. I did not. I refused, they had nothing else to do. Despite being their enemy, I knew they would not shoot. They were desperately yelling at me to either surrender or I will get shot. But they didn’t do it, not until they saw that I betrayed my word and called for reinforcements. To be honest, I didn’t expect for the help to arrive, but eventually, Admiral Reaser came. I did not call for reinforcements, they simply came because of the integrated hazard system. Then I had to do, what my duty told me to do. It will be harder for me to reach them and find more clues on my investigation.
I took a break then. I went to Earie and got the Blue Hawk. I missed that old Sunrider. I’m an easy shot with it but still… it’s gonna get me into places. I jumped into the ship and I said I’ll begin my thorough exploration and ask here and there for further information regarding, the rebellious groups that attack Liberty.. and especially what Nomad influence there existed… exists or might exist in Liberty space. I will coordinate with the 5th later if I will manage to reach them.
But first I took the liberty to get to Los Angeles and see my wife and parents. I was quite nervous flying around the system. The Legion was everywhere patrolling the system tightly. No sign of any GRN forces yet, but I’ve heard they are on approach. I haven’t been on good ol’ L.A. for more than half an year. I only visited Amanda from time to time, but on the Border Stations.
![[Image: sas5q3h.png?1]](https://i.imgur.com/sas5q3h.png?1)
I went to our house in the Washington District. It was a surprise arrival. Amanda was in tears, like my mother. They were so happy to see me after all this time. I was too. But it was a brief period of time for me to stay. I had like 1 hour max before I had to return back to Norfolk and begin my patrol routine. Amanda started working on the local communication tower. Traffic monitoring, it’s what she wanted to do ever since I’ve met her. The pay is good and not so risky like mine, as I could reconsider my job too. So we will be there for when our kid will arrive. Yeah… she is pregnant.
![[Image: SLg0YNd.jpg?1]](https://i.imgur.com/SLg0YNd.jpg?1)
I was also happy but concerned. My reaction was a mixed one. I was more worried about their fate with the tensions rising in California and in Liberty Sector. They had to be moved as quickly as possible to a safe harbor. The passenger transports have been all locked up for a while but I’ll see what I will manage. It was good to be home even for a brief moment. Its scary when you realize that all do and your life are just 3.. now 4 people. It’s frightening.
I’ve took my flight back to Norfolk. I’ll begin my schedule there. I’ve heard my rusty wing has been restored. I’ll see what happens next. Before I log, I will upload the transcript I had with the Hellfire, just for record so I can keep everything up to date. It’s important in the investigation I am doing, to see their behavior and true reasons. The thought that the Commonwealth has access to the rumored Drake system is… concerning. I will see further.

I’ve been busy these days with Navy affairs. It seems new recruits shifted in and took their wings to the dangers of space. I pity them for their true and honest enthusiast. “Protecting the Republic and the Freedom of the Citizens.” Well.. That’s something I believed… at times still believe it but lately, I adopted new ideas because of my search for… to be honest, at times I don’t even know what I hope to find.
The UN and friends still push the corners and the situation with the GRN isn’t growing in a better light. I feel so pressed and … stressed out. I don’t know. Maybe this is a reason I started to look in other directions. Things got heated in New York lately, and moreover, we had the Kampetai in our space. They said they were hunting Nomad terrorists in our territory. So they claimed. I tried to find more information, but my Navy fellows already tried that. They had to do what they needed to do. After all, foreign intelligence agents came into our territory for unknown reasons. They could’ve claimed anything. I really wanted to hear more of what they knew, if they knew something.
I took my flight to Alberta right after. I reached a local Freeport. It was quite mediocre, a lot of refugees from the fringe of the Gauls I’ve noticed though. I went into the bar and I asked here and there of something out of the usual scope going around, ‘till I found this Zoner who told me something interesting. I’ll put the following transcript.
![[Image: 9HuGbHx.png?2]](https://i.imgur.com/9HuGbHx.png?2)
Pretty much that was it. I took another night to spend over at the Freeport to ponder on the words he said. Perhaps the DSE found something strange in the system that could link them with the Nomads. But those ghost tales are crazy, I never heard of anything before. But hey, that’s the charm of the border and the independent systems’ Freeports. Always a great story to hear off. I will head over at Cassini as soon as I can and I will further my search for relevant information regarding the Nomads, Liberty and other things. It feels like a maze for me, but I’ll surely run into some secrets the Government carefully hid them. I need time.

I think I will go insane. Why the hell did it rubbed me on the wrong side to start feeling "vigilante" and dig into things that are better left untouched? I was hesitant to put the log on again. I've been missing for the last week or more I've lost track of time. I didn't even checked with my family over at Los Angeles to see if they are good. Heard there was something bad around the Magellan/Cali systems.
*A long sigh is being heard*
I don't know why I listened to that Zoner over Alberta to go and poke my nose for my next clues over at Cassini. Because I think I .. opened the Pandora's box. What I am about to log here is.. disturbing. I am feeling dizzy and frightened only when I recall the events back.
*There is a silence for 30 seconds*
So I went to Cassini. And.. First of all I am not really sure what happened there. I started to look for some whereabouts of the Foster Base. What I knew about it was that they were studying a spatial anomaly. Later on they were attacked by the Rogues or something like that and they were forced to move. Of course... I didn't bought it. Was a mistake. I am still haunted by that place. It put more questions also. But... first things first.
My first investigation site was near a hidden planet inside a nebula. Roaming there without a clue, I found several disabled vessels that apparently were fleeing from Foster Base. They were unfortunately caught by the Rogues and nullified. Despite that, the ship's remnant signatures hinted that the vessels weren't really well equipped thus making me think that they were really trying to get away from Foster Base as quickly as they could... in a desperate manner. I will upload a series of feedback from my ship's computer about it.
Right so after roaming around, trying to avoid the Rogue bases. I ran into several ships but they didn't seem to care of my presence. As far as they know, I am simple freelancer, so as long as I don't poke my nose in their stuff, I am alright. Now I went to Foster Base. And then... this investigation started to turn into something extremely strange.
*Another break for around 10 seconds is made*
I don't know what to say I will just...
I picked up something on my scanners. Some echoing signals. They started to pour over my receiver. I thought it would've been just radiation coming from the anomaly. And about that... I've heard about these spatial anomalies around Sirius. Some background reports of this base's activity, stated that this one was something peculiar and more.. "active" or intense, something around those words.
So I picked these strange signals. They were showing on my scanners but I couldn't locate them. They seemed to be around the Base or some sorts. Keeping a distance and circulating around me. Thing is... whenever I tried to catch them on the visual feed, I got blurred imagery. But the audio... is haunting me even now.
Yeah. That was... And that didn't stopped. I did it. I got aboard the station. For a reason, the automated docking worked. The rest of the station was abandoned. Or something similar... I cannot continue to log this. It's.. I already had nightmares with the entire experience. I need to get courage back to continue to elaborate what happened aboard the station. Also this was the image the Signal sent me. It made be froze to death.
![[Image: weCEADf.png?1]](https://i.imgur.com/weCEADf.png?1)
Also my exterior sensors got fried when I approached the unstable anomaly. They got crippled. My ship got damaged a little and the repairs will cost me a bit. This is the feedback from the anomaly.

It was nightmarish indeed. I am still sick of it. I didn't even reported back to duty. I will have to join back soon before I get suspicious. Wherever I go now, I have the feeling ... those things or.. those screams and that melody... what the hell was that melody. It sounded like a series of disturbed piano tiles. I will need to go on and find more answers. I got into this already.
I will continue the events further on. If I can. If I won't go completely insane.

I made a long break from updating my log. I felt really discouraged to continue my pursuit and resume my duties. I couldn’t catch sleep for a couple of days after the encounter in Foster. It haunted me. I barely managed to shook it off. I resumed my duties ever since and I’ve monitored my family over at L.A. The situation is dire there, I have to do something to push them out of there. I’ve encountered again some more people that insisted on the idea of Liberty being dirty and doing some strange things.
Lately I’ve been told that Harmony is being infected by the Nomads. They used to “sell” me the idealism of freedom and truth about what Liberty truly hides. The problem is.. what Admiral Knight told me on our first encounter was… right. There is something sinister going right now with Liberty. It’s been for a long time I guess, and I’ve seen it on Foster. What is more strange that after Knight and her group wanted to make more noise and expose Liberty of its inner corruption, they got… infected.
I wouldn’t believe it but I know good men and women in the Navy and 5th who came from the battlefield with some serious inflicted damage on their vessels, carried out by some unknown type of weaponry. The experts said those are Nomad adapted technologies. More to it later. I’ll go through my description of what happened when I docked at Foster. Here we go…
*a pause of 30 seconds occurs*
So I docked. The autonomous system was active ever since they left the base, well those that managed to. The scenery was very dark, with pockets of light here and there coming from either some rudimentary artificial sources or from the star of Cassini. My weapon was set on the highest setting of effectiveness. I expected the worse and I was on the right line of thought with that.
It was almost quiet, but that strange type of quiet, followed by the sound of rusted metal. I’ve only heard my breaths inside the helmet. I was extremely tense given what I saw and heard prior to entry. As I left the docking area, I followed up a long corridor that had several lateral doors. Most of them were sealed, but almost each single one of them had an exterior curvature, like something pushed the doors from inside.
When I entered the said corridor, the defense turrets were reconfigured inwards. They tried to keep something in and that was extremely chilling. I barely kept control of myself. I had the chance to return to the ship and just leave the hell out of there, but I carried on. I bet the military bravado took the best of me.
There was this door that had a small fissure and could be seen inside, as some flickering lights persisted in the chamber. I peeked into that. Everything was ravaged, blood marks were over the walls and a massive exploded container was present there. And then something happened, for a second I could’ve sworn there was a figure near the container gazing right next to me. I noticed the line of the face and the glancing of it’s eyes. My spine almost froze. I quickly jumped from the door and asked in an impervious tone if someone was there and to come out. I identified myself as I stood with my gun straight to the door. I wanted to watch in the sideways but I couldn’t, thinking that whatever was in there knows all I am doing.
I managed to take the courage I needed and I blasted the door and stormed inside the chamber, only to find a very disturbing body that was… fused almost inside the wall near the container. Strange symbols were around him made with the victim's own blood. It was … unimaginable. The computers and all other technical devices were offline in that station. I had to go further to find the needed databanks.
A sudden scream was heard, similar to the one I’ve heard in the coms, but it came from further into the station. I took my combat stance and moved further in. The same thing in the next wing: deserted, chaotic and bloody. It looked like there was a massive fight in here that ended up pretty badly. I tried to consider the screams something not entirely real, so I won’t be baited into some traps. I tried to keep my plan straight and clear. Then a sign pointed me to the R&D command. That was the key.

Reaching the entry hallway of the R&D Command center, I passed through a wide corridor filled with these strange tanks that were broken. Blood everywhere, but strangely, no bodies. I was very cautious. The screaming came directly from the next chamber. I stormed into it with my gun ready to fire as I’ve seen decomposed bodies being hanged from the wall by some sort of tissue. It was a mix between some artificial things and organic material. The putrid smell was everywhere, but I was lucky that my helmet had extensive toxic filters. Again, the screaming stopped, there was a dead silence. That was almost everywhere I stepped. I could’ve hear from time to time some strange movement going on around 100 meters from me. Nothing was there. Every single time. Nothing.
That’s why I had reasons that I was watched by someone.. or rather.. something..
