Description: Freelancer Vincent Judge spotted "IRV-Shade" on his scanner. The vessel was 3K away, moving. Soon, Mr.Judge has noticed that "IRV-Shade" tries to contact with him. He have accepted transmission request. After few minutes of connection he received a strange message with high static. It is believed that the message is an old recording.

We believe that this transmission is the "last message" of Doctor Sarah Abignail, one of the scientists aboard "IRV-Shade".

ATTENTION: High static in record.

Sarah looks frightened, tired. All her face is cowered by sweat. After a few minutes of silence she sighs and begins to talk. Sometimes, lights in the room obviously blinks.

-My name is doctor Sarah Abignail... one of the members of IRV-Shade scientists crew---[STATIC]
[STATIC]--- I'm the last survivor here---[STATIC]
[STATIC]
-In 804.06.16, approximately 4PM captain Desmond Vodrick received a transmission from---[STATIC]---about lost transmission of scout Foxtrot-5. We moved to given coordinates as soon as possible...

Strange sound in background can be heard. It reminds a sound of creaky metal. Sarah looks around.

-Foxtrot found... something... unknown there... we found all crew died... floating in space next to scout, and one of the crew members inside the vessel... he shotted himself. Aboard the ship there was unknown object... [STATIC]
[STATIC]--- Doctor Phoenix refused to throw it to the open space... he didn't understood the risk and the harm of that object. [STATIC]

[HIGH STATIC. A BIG PART OF RECORD CANNOT BE RECOVERED]

[STATIC]--- It led to... madness...---[STATIC]
-I can't let any other ship to receive the object...

Tears in her eyes can be seen.

-There's no other way... only a dive into sun...

[HIGH STATIC. A BIG PART OF RECORD CANNOT BE RECOVERED]

All lights in the room have gone. Unclear voices can be heard in background. Now, Sarah looks more frightened.

-They're coming. It's time for the last trip... Sarah Abignail out.

[END]

Soon after the transmission ship disappeared from a sight of Victor Judge.
