Apparently I have a bad habit of always wanting to put my afterthoughts inside this log. I just need to think about it and the logs are filled. Thanks to the wonders of augmentation. Many things happened since the last time I said something. New friends appeared, old enemies persist. But the change came with this organization. The Commune. It's expanded, a lot.. the reach of it, across Sirius. It's a thing I always wanted to achieve with my old band of brothers. But I guess all happened for the best of results. Especially now.

I'm sitting here in my main laboratory, surrounded by holograms of what projects are undergo, I'm multi-tasking them and overseeing them all. Some I've put on halt, some I'm actively invested. It's an interesting possibility that Jared offered me. I remember my old friend Aubrey, how he oversaw the entire operations of Cerberus. Sitting in his chair... having a view towards space of a red giant, surrounded with data and all kind of panels regarding the overall activities of all cells.

A similar concept I am experiencing here, though my view is an artificially simulation of the deep space. A beautiful purple nebulae that is slowly sucked by a massive black hole. The continuity of the cosmos eh ? I might be one step closer to my goal and also to Commune's goal, to create a link first to their homeworld and secondly to what I saw in the past... where Ashley disappeared. Sometimes I'm thinking if it was a dream, a hallucination ? But the feelings are vivid, like the images that flash in my mind. I am feeling I will keep a strong tie with the ORG, secretly of course. After all.. they are Order more or less. I shall see what motives has this mr.Taylor. I am perplexed about the fact that they hold the technology to create a jump hole. Even temporary, but still... an important breakthrough. I've studied the gravimetric anomalies, that in common language means... "Jump Hole", but the conclusion to my studies will be upon making some final research upon Razgriz. That's the biggest anomaly and a strange enigma, that was the fascination of explorers and scientists for centuries...

But there are more important things to finish, that are critical to Commune's progress as a whole. I will focus on those. The only thing that I've recovered from Cerberus was my data disk. In it.. everything of importance was stored. Nobody can use it aside from me, it was designed that way. And if lost.. the Vaults kept information scattered across Sirius so only I can decipher and recompile as a whole. Fortunately the data disk is on me and I found something.

Ever since I came from Iota with the Cerberus fleet.. something happened. After I gave the order to dissolve all cells and for the agents to scatter across Sirius because we were hunted down by the Order Main Fleet, it was a period... a long one of blackouts. Intense even. That's how I woke up.. implanted. I am searching today how I managed that. I can only tell that somewhere, somehow, I did this to myself. Last night, I've found an encrypted portion of the data disk, that has no meaning for me of why I did that. But the locked portion was about of... 50% of the capacity of the disk. The information I've used from the available part... well it was plenty and most of my studies are based on that.

As I was saying, last night.. I triggered something, because an audio log came with the following :

Spoiler

"Dave. First of all it's strange to speak to me, like it's another person, but it's important. If you are hearing and activated this part of the disk, it means that my calculations of predicting the future were accurate. And my fears came true. It means the Nomads expanded further into the Omicrons and a force that will slowly rise, to be their "vanguards" exists and it's started. And there is chance you took your departure beyond the Omicron Lost in your search for "answers". You always babbled about, Nomad-Human coexistence, the Alien System where you've lost Ashley Foxx. But what you discovered, before heading to Iota, was that the Nomads, influence the minds of lesser evolved beings. We -are- lesser evolved beings, from the perspective of mental capacities. The more you stay near them, or with them.. the more you agree with their resolve. There will never be coexistence, there will only be manipulation. I am feared you are already too deep with your ties now. I am afraid that you took the enemies "gifts" to further your understanding. You must remember that they will never, wish, completely, to share their space with us. Sirius was -made- for them, by their Creators ! Remember that Dave. In this log, probably if you came here, you might want to remember your morality about advancing mankind, but... keeping our humanity in the process. Where do you stand now, what do you do ? For who do you -truly- fight ?

Be careful there in the Omicrons, dark times are coming there. Expect something to happen with the K'Hara race as well... they could become unstable. You don't know their motives after all. We are smart, think it through. Access code for the next logs : Cerberus-034-Omega-D"

I am constantly thinking about what he... I said back then. The Nomads indeed expanded... dramatically. Their "vanguards" are... the Commune. And I am part of it...

Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding.
