Details: While crossing the "Abyss-9" system, the Expeditionary Group made a 24-hour rest stop to discuss future plans and allow the personnel to rest after "Abyss-8". Lieutenant Tyler Meser was aboard the CV-Hades, resting in accordance with the Order's regulations on personnel rest.

At 12:40, on the eve of his new shift, Tyler went to see scientist Alexandra Sergeeva to clarify the details of his next mission.

Clarification: Tyler and Alexandra had been friends for about a year.

At 12:43, Tyler met with Alexandra. During the conversation, Alexandra provided him with several photographs of objects in "Abyss-8", which were identical in appearance to the objects in "Abyss-7". The images of each of them were also distorted by background radiation. According to the Order's statutory regulations, there were no restrictions on this conversation.

At 12:55, Tyler returned to his quarters and began preparing for his 24-hour shift. At 13:00, he headed to the hangar where his Anubis-class fighter was located, climbed into the cockpit, and spent about five minutes there. According to CCTV footage, he was making some kind of recording. At 13:05, he pulled a laser pistol from his holster and leaved cockpit.

Three infantrymen from the CV-Hades were also in the hangar, conducting a search of the hangar. Noticing Tyler with a loaded weapon, they ordered him to stop. Further conversations are being recorded.

2-3: Hey, Tyler, hold on. Why do you have that pistol armed and loaded?
T: Fuck off Jed. Don't you see?
2-3: See what?
2-1: Tyler, hands up. Now.
T: Fuck off you too!
Tyler points his gun at his head
2-2: Damn it, Tyler, what the hell?!
2-1: 2-1 to 1-1, we've got situation here. Hangar. A suspect with signs of mental illness has been located. We're keeping him in our sights, requesting backup, and are ready to fire.
1-1: Already on the way. Take measures to detain him.
Group start moving slowly to Tyler Meser
2-3: Tyler, do not be that stupid. Drop the gun, buddy, we'll help you.
2-2: Hey, mate, Jed ain't joking. Do not make such moves. Just drop the gun or we'll do what we should do.
T: We are being watched. Every step we take. We are not here for nothing.
Tyler takes a shot
2-2: OH FUCK!
2-3: SHIT!
2-1: 2-1 to 1-1, suspect killed himself. Do you copy? Suspect killed himself. We request the immediate arrival of a rescue team!
1-1: He did what?! Yes, sure, rescue team is on the way. We almost in hangar. Over.

Immediately after the incident, a patrol was dispatched to Alexandra Sergeeva's office, where she was detained and interrogated. She listed every action she had taken, including photographs of objects in "Abyss-8." All photographs were immediately confiscated and Commander Jacob Meser was notified of his brother's death.

The theory was that Tyler saw something in the photographs, which prompted him to commit suicide in front of the patrol officers. A note was found during a search of his cockpit. According to the text on it, Tyler continued to resist the negative influence for some time.

"I just got into the ship's cockpit, and this crap started filling my head. CHECK PHOTaAAdasedawe1DA1910"

"For some reason, the photographs didn't have a negative impact on Alexandra. Apparently, she simply didn't notice what Tyler saw. Or maybe she just hadn't noticed it yet, and the patrol team got ahead of her curiosity. She was incredibly lucky."

Because of this incident, all subsequent photos are taken with a pre-set effect: "Motion Blur". The effect was pre-installed on each ship's camera, and attempts to alter its effect on the image were considered a sign of infection.
