###INCOMING MESSAGE### Source: Outpost M-28 ID: Jack Carter ---BEGIN MESSAGE--- By now there should be a wolfhound class capital ship orbitting around Mars, with a corporate laptog snooping around looking for answers. They won't find any. All they'll get is a hole in a ground, with some ruins still smoking. That place could not be tolerated. The outpost M-28 should never have existed. At least not with it's true purpose. You probably follow the news. Like so many others who are trying to find comfort in their miserable lives knowing that someone else has it much worse than they do. It makes me sick. What they don't tell you, are those thousands upon thousands of people going missing. The media are controlled by politicians, who employ them to further their own agenda. They don't want you to know. They don't care. Entire colonies go missing at moments notice. Nobody notices. And those who do are quickly silenced. They don't want you to know what's really going on. They only want to make a profit. They only want to cash in on their own invention. You know what I am talking about. Computer devices so powerful, capable performing the calculations so complex, that the interstellar travel has become trivial as a result. The Interstellaria devices. Bunch of entrepreneurs have made fortune during that new gold rush that these devices suddenly enabled. But at what price? Have you ever considered? Have you ever wondered? All those missing people. They are the very thing that powers those computers. Don't believe me? It's okay. I found it hard to believe myself. A computer made of people. How riddiculous right? A biological construct powering synthetic machine. I mean, cyborgs and remotely-controlled drones are common enough. But this technology was different. Each individual cell broken down to it's basic components and then rearranged to create something completely new. A synthesis. They claim that this is a next step in humanity's evolution. That we are this close to becoming gods. I fear that this might end up destroying us instead. We are not ready for this. Not yet. To the captain commanding the capital ship. There is nothing here. Go home. Your mission is accomplished here. There's nothing more you can do. Turn away now. Warn your superiors, because we are coming to make things right. We will... ---END MESSAGE---
