Mission Logs
Captain Chris Coley: Mission log, July 18th 2150. We are on our way to investigate a mysterious artificial construct that was detected on the surface of Arcturus 5. Laura, is there any information on the object of interest?
Laura Campbell: The structure on the surface appears to be frustum shaped judging by orbital images from a previous MSEP mission, that's all the info we have at the moment.
Coley: Okay, thanks Laura. Desmond, how far are we from our destination?
Desmond Warren: We are at least two Earth days away.
Coley: Okay, I'm going to set the ship to autopilot, so we can get some shut eye before arrival.
Two days later...
Second logs
Coley: Mission log, July 20th 2150. We are entering orbit around Arcturus 5. Crewmembers Desmond and Laura,will take the shuttle to the surface to investigate the object.
Desmond and Laura proceed to fly the shuttle towards Arcturus 5 and soon land a few feet away from the temple.
Laura: Okay, we've landed.
Coley: Excellent! Now tell us, what does the structure look like?
Camera turns to the structure.
Laura: Its sort of a silvery black color and judging from our scanners, it seems to be made of an unknown metallic substance. Whoa! What the...
Coley: What? What's happened?
Desmond: Some sort of opening has appeared in the side of the object, like a doorway.
Coley: Wait what? For real?
Laura: Yes. There's some sort of silver hallway inside it. Me and Desmond are going to investigate.
Coley: Sigh Okay. But be careful! You have no idea what could be waiting for you inside.
Desmond: I've got a bad feeling about this. Almost like we shouldn't be here.
Desmond and Laura walk inside the temple.
Laura: We're walking down the hallway and there seems to be a bunch of symbols on the wall.
Coley: Interesting. What do they look like? Also, is Desmond with you?
Desmond: Yep I'm right here. Whoa what the heck!?!
Coley: What's happened?
Desmond: Another doorway just opened.
Coley: Okay, is there anything inside.
Desmond: Hmm odd...
Laura: This room also has multiple symbols on its walls as well as a large triangular frame at the center. Oh no...
Desmond: Um sir...the doorway has closed behind us.
Coley: Excuse me what? Its closed?
Desmond: Yeah. It did it by itself. They appear to be automated. And the triangular frame is powering up.
Laura: Something isn't right here. We need to get out now!
Coley: Are there any other exits!?!
Laura: No! We're trapped. Oh my God...
Coley: Now what?
Desmond: There's a strange red energy in the triangular frame and-what the heck is that!?!
Coley: What? what is it?
Laura: A humanoid entity made of the red energy has just stepped out of the frame. And it's walking towards us...Ugh there's also this weird humming and ringing in my head!
Desmond: Same here! I'm freaking out! Get us out of this damn place.
Signal cuts.
Coley: Hello? Laura? Desmond? Oh no...this can't be good.
Third logs
Laura: Audio only Hello? Captain?
Coley: Laura! Thank goodness! Is Desmond there?
Laura: Yeah he's here with me.
Coley: What happened?
Laura: Another doorway opened and the red energy being dissipated so me and Desmond ran out of there. And now we're being chased by a cluster of small floating silver spheres firing lasers at us! It destroyed our camera! Please, just get us out of this insufferable hellhole!!
Coley: Oh my God!! What is up with this place?
Desmond: We don't know!
Signal cuts
Coley: Oh no. Not again!!
Fourth logs
Desmond: Captain? We're sorry for cutting out, we were trying to find a place to hide from those laser spheres.
Coley: Are you and Laura safe at least?
Desmond: For now we found a room to hide in. Its incredibly strange though as it has a large floating polyhedron at the center.
Coley: A floating polyhedron?
Laura: Yeah. This place is extremely weird. We just want to get out but the hallways keep shifting.
