Auxiliary Power Update
''This is the audio log of Chief Allen Rhodes, October 12, 2145. Well, we made significant progress with the field coupler this week. If my calculations are correct, this should provide a considerable boost to the converter's output. I just wish Meyers wasn't so damn pushy about this project of his. Well, to be fair it's actually Betruger's project. Meyers is just trying to follow orders and do his job... Anyhow, what we are doing is extremely complex and requires us to be firing on all cylinders. Expanding all of the transference data from Delta has been a very difficult process. What he's proposing requires the full use of a single grid array. I'm just glad we have the entire auxiliary unit to work with. My hope is within the next few weeks, we will be able to prime the main array in parallel and have the auxiliary working in sufficient capacity for the folks over in Exis Labs. And... uh, I think that's all I've got for now. Allen Rhodes signing off.''

Personal Update
''Uh, Chief Allen Rhodes, November 15th, 2145. The situation here in Sector One is bad. Shortly after getting the auxiliary grid synced with the main array, we experienced a huge power surge... and, uh, the, uh, the output readings are nominal which, uh, leads me to conclude that it's not the auxiliary core. It-it sounds like a problem with the main array. Regardless, I... started hearing screams and gunfire over one of the channels just before our communications went down.''

''Well, we have been trying desperately to get in touch with Meyers over in Exis to see what he knows. Several of my technicians have not reported back yet, and my senior technician described... described a bloodbath near a coolant transfer zone. Following that transmission, his radio went dead and I've not heard from him since. A few of my other technicians reported seeing strange... creatures, uh, appearing out of thin air and... none of them have reported back yet.''

''The rest of my team and myself, we've just barricaded ourselves into a control room here in Sector One, and we will continue trying to get communications working, but I don't know how much longer we can stay here. I'll update soon... Chief Rhodes, signing off.''

Transfer Data (11-02-2145)
''I'm aware of the ongoing effort to get the Auxiliary Core online however, if we are going to meet Betruger's deadline, I need you to help with the transferance data. I'll send over blocks 37 - 52, please try to get them done as quickly as possible.''

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (10-31-2145)
''I just put the kids to bed even though they are still vibrating from sugar! Bobby went as a cowboy again. Sally went as a devil. I think her princess days are behind her. She made the most adorable pitchfork out of scraps she found in your workshop. Pumpkin carving isn't the same without you and we can't wait for you to get back.''

Love, -Sharon
