Personal log of Captain Beth Texas of the independent explorer Voidstag III.

Purchased the Bustard with a lot of its internals stripped down to make room for the science equipment. First goal is that schmancy psy blocker thing Serah was trying to make. Ideally it'd be retractable, and rest under the armor plate. Can't ask for friendly help testing, but the main reason for it is to prevent a repeat of the Kepler fiasco that happened with the Voidstag II.

Second goal is to install a few stasis tubes capable of keeping any misplaced incubi alive until we can return them to the mindshare. This is probably the easiest part. We aren't really equipped to do surgery on aliens, so this is our best option.

Third is what we've taken to calling the Telepathic lens chamber. Its designed to amplify telepathic communication over a long distance. Any Carrier onboard should be able to keep in touch with the mindshare when we're far away from everywhere else. Not that we have any Carrier crew. Yet. It might also help us communicate with Voidforms easier.

Frankly it'll be years before the start of any joint expedition or project. Better to work the bugs out now.

“Lens Chamber” project log. Head Science Officer Serah Traline of the Voidstag III

Lens chamber construction is complete. Completely untested, haven’t had time, been too busy with other construction of the interior. It’s based off several bits of research from Daam K’vash artifacts and constructs. The basic idea is it’s a sort of amplifier or conductor for the signals emitted by telepathy. Logically there’s some form of attenuation to them since you can’t violate thermodynamics. We’ve found several reports on various artifact formations that- might work?

I have no idea, nobody here has graduated college but what’s the worst that could happen?

Success! We were able to send- vague psychic murmurings to a Carrier. After some misunderstandings, we realize that we need A: someone smarter, B: more examples C: to acknowledge that it was probably not our lack of qualification that led us here, but pure luck. Still, it feels like this is trying to make a chainsaw, and only being able to cut down trees with it by whacking the blade against said tree.

Our best hope is outside help. But the only people that could help are Auxo and from what I can tell they’re not the type to share. Perhaps the Harvest Moon could help? Or some Carrier scientists?

Regardless, test successful! I’m going to go scream into a pillow to celebrate.
