|
|
|
|
[8:44]
|
|
sam: FUCK YOUR MEETING THIS IS IMPORTANT
|
|
|
|
[8:46]
|
|
anine: yeah i know, it took me a minute to wind it up and get out
|
|
sam: look i don't care just whyt he FUCK did you not TELL ME
|
|
|
|
[8:47]
|
|
anine: listen. i'm really sorry but there's something very wrong
|
|
anine: she was right, we got SCARS updates through most of the descent
|
|
anine: and they don't make any sense
|
|
anine: look, give me a minute
|
|
|
|
[8:49]
|
|
sam: well?
|
|
[anine Quit: sec]
|
|
sam: FUCK
|
|
|
|
[8:54]
|
|
[anine Join: back]
|
|
anine: okay, i'm off the work network.
|
|
anine: i shouldn't be telling you anything right now.
|
|
anine: can i trust you?
|
|
sam: thats a hell of a question from you right now
|
|
|
|
[8:55]
|
|
anine: i know, i'm sorry, okay? but this could be my job, or
|
|
anine: look, forget it, you deserve to know. i shouldve told you
|
|
already.
|
|
sam: TOO FUCKING RIGHT.
|
|
anine: i mean i know you and she broke it off but all the same.
|
|
sam: who told you we broke it off
|
|
sam: we had one fight
|
|
sam: ONE FIGHT>
|
|
|
|
[8:56]
|
|
anine: okay okay let me get to the point i can't sit in this stall all
|
|
day
|
|
anine: but before i do that
|
|
anine: i really am sorry, i should've trusted you, can you forgive me?
|
|
|
|
[8:58]
|
|
sam: not right now.
|
|
|
|
[8:59]
|
|
anine: fair enough.
|
|
|
|
[9:00]
|
|
anine: so like i said, something is very wrong with voortrekker and
|
|
that planet. the scars data DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE. she said the
|
|
pilot said something hit them that they didn't see?
|
|
anine: their radar says they saw it. they tracked it all the way in
|
|
from a half million kilometers out. it wasn't even moving that fast.
|
|
|
|
[9:01]
|
|
anine: they got lerts about it too. sscars event log shows initial
|
|
proximity alert, then nine minutes later possible collision warning,
|
|
then impact alarms nine minutes after that, thirty secondds alter the
|
|
impact event.
|
|
anine: alerts*
|
|
anine: seconds*
|
|
sam: what
|
|
|
|
[9:02]
|
|
anine: there had to be alarms going off all over main control, there
|
|
is nO WAY they could not have known they were in danger, and even if
|
|
they didn't
|
|
sam: ok but they were in manual by then right
|
|
anine: no
|
|
anine: the nav systems were still running in program auto, theyd idn't
|
|
go manual until after the hit
|
|
anine: the ship should've taken ITSELF out of the way, they had to go
|
|
out of their way to override it
|
|
|
|
[9:03]
|
|
anine: and SCARS doesn't show them doing it
|
|
anine: and it would
|
|
anine: that's what we don't understand, even if someone went crazy and
|
|
saotasged the ship why do all that and not just disable the whole
|
|
sender, we'd think it was lost or something then
|
|
anine: sabotaged*
|
|
|
|
[9:04]
|
|
anine: so none of this makes any sense
|
|
|
|
[9:05]
|
|
sam: i guess not
|
|
|
|
[9:06]
|
|
anine: and then there's this weird stuff she sent
|
|
sam: you can say her fucking name, okay?
|
|
sam: it's been 25 years not like i'm still going to be mad
|
|
anine: okay okaty
|
|
anine: fine
|
|
anine: this weird stuff KIT sent
|
|
sam: thank you. go on
|
|
|
|
[9:07]
|
|
anine: i mean this disease she's talking about, that doesn't make
|
|
sense either
|
|
anine: nothing works like that, it's not even biomechanically
|
|
plausible
|
|
sam: she's a xenobiologist, you know better than her?
|
|
anine: ok fine but we have those too and they say i'ts bullshit
|
|
anine: and that last part
|
|
anine: i had to look up muscular hydrostats
|
|
sam: tentacles
|
|
anine: yeah
|
|
|
|
[9:08]
|
|
sam: she says she shas four fo them instead of legs now
|
|
anine: right
|
|
anine: talk about bullshit, there is no way
|
|
anine: i asked our people here
|
|
anine: i called the xeno institute and asked people theret o
|
|
anine: every one fo them said there is no way in any world that a
|
|
human body can have tentacles
|
|
|
|
[9:09]
|
|
anine: something about hydrostatic presusre and circulation and
|
|
sam: you're just saying words
|
|
anine: i dont pretend to understand it but come on do you really think
|
|
this makes any kind of sense
|
|
anine: i don't know what's going on out there but it has to be some
|
|
kind of mental thing
|
|
sam: don't you dare
|
|
sam: don't you FUCKING DARE
|
|
|
|
[9:10]
|
|
sam: i knew you'd do this as soon as i sent it to you
|
|
sam: i don' tknow what's going on out there either
|
|
sam: but you knew kit as well as i did
|
|
sam: better
|
|
anine: look i know i'm not sayingit's her FAULT
|
|
sam: YOU FUCKING ARE
|
|
sam: "some kind of mental thing
|
|
|
|
[9:11]
|
|
sam: you think she went stir crazy out there and did something to
|
|
crash the ship and now she's making up crazy stuff
|
|
sam: you probably thinks he killed the people whog ot sicka dn died
|
|
anine: yeah about that
|
|
sam: oh whAT THE FUCK
|
|
anine: we're pretty sure they're not dead
|
|
|
|
[9:13]
|
|
sam: what
|
|
|
|
[9:14]
|
|
anine: you know they all had implanted biomonitors right?
|
|
anine: all the expedition crews do, those are big ships and people can
|
|
get lost or hurt and not be able to call for help
|
|
sam: ok and
|
|
sam: oh bullshit
|
|
|
|
[9:15]
|
|
anine: we get telemetry packet sfrom the ship on those
|
|
anine: most of the trackers are still showing active
|
|
anine: not the people who died in the crash, the ones she said got sick
|
|
anine: 247 out of 313 right now
|
|
anine: slow pulse, slow respiration, almost no brain activty
|
|
|
|
[9:16]
|
|
anine: they're comatose but alive
|
|
anine: ti's the other ones that really worry us
|
|
anine: they're NOT online
|
|
anine: but the last signals we got were

|
anine: i mean they don't make sense
|
|
|
|

|
sam: it's your job to fucking make it make sense
|
|

|
|
anine: were trying, we were going to cancel anyway for a call with
|
|
xeno institute before i heard from you
|
|

|
|
|
|
[9:19]
|
|
anine: look i'm sorry okay i don't know
