Data log #7253Thing seem to be getting quieter around the station, Project Prodigius is in full swing and we have successfully siphoned most of what we could out of Xector VI. Minimal casualties reported, a few missing people here and there, but that is to be expected.
Data log #7254
Things are getting a bit strange just yesterday the admirals daughter, keen on the eyes might I add, seemed distraught, not her normal fun loving self. Even on the job she made things less, heavy I suppose. I suppose I will find out later. On another note I have noticed a few more reported causalities and the guard patrols have issued that all treatments be given in quarantine.
Data log #7380
No big news up until now but the left wing of the HQ had an air breach and something got in, we managed to kill it and rid of it but not before it had gotten ahold of some men, I am not an animal kind of guy, but in all my fields of medical research it was the first time I'd ever seen something incinerate the blood within someone. I haven't seen the admiral's daughter in weeks.
Data log #7392
It seems that something has been effecting the miners, nothing major in terms of life threatening, however they are coming back acting like zombie, emotionless and sickly looking. The other doctors think it is some sort of Stockholm syndrome from being in the mines to long. "They have become as silent as the rocks they live with" They say. I am going to prepare for the worst.
Data log #7409
So I have been preparing in secret, a medication that will allow my body to become immune to the chemical build up in the atmosphere of Xector VI. Without anyone knowing I had run tests on the cadavers stored in the stations morgue side effects seem to reach a low. No growth, no signs of a spreading bacteria with the morticians. I think I have established artificial evolution. Not only will I be safe from another containment breach but I will a god.
Data log #7421
I was correct, something was wrong with the miners, oh goody me, correct I tell you the other filthy doctors didn't believe me, but I was right, a hive A HIVE I tell you, of the thing, that, marvelous species that got in here a few weeks ago. Ohh how they will rue the day they denied my logic, I told them. I told them and they did not listen!
Data log #7430
Killed them, had to, only way I could continue development, morticians had to go, noticed the changes, noticed the features and the bodies so many grotesque forms of science, I call it beauty, they call it madness, ehe called it madness, they wont be calling much of anything anymore. The miners have started taking precautions and are coming back alive more often now, this can not do, I need more tests, I think I can cure hunger with a simple mutation. I am in your playground now god, it is your move.
Data log #7501
Well played merciful creator, but you can not surpass me, not now, I knew you were going to send those things, those beautiful things from those hives, you gave me more SO MUCH MORE to work with, not only humans, but your creatures they are piling up, I already called for a link to a ship they are coming for survivors, aha, all that they will find is me, a god, a god among them, aha I will use them, treat them, let them live with me, may they be my first living subjects aside from myself. I have been taking steady doses of the chemical, I feel much stronger now, much.. Involved with the world around me, I need more. MORE!!
Data log #7550
The fleet, aha they came, I used them and it was spectacular! they are no longer physical, but they are here, I can hear them shouting to me, coaxing me to take more take heavier doses, my flesh has started to ooze this substance, small side effect compared to what has begun to happen to my hair, it is almost like, tentacles, I can't seem to see correctly anymore either. I see shapes but the colors are all dim and watery. Is this what it likes to feel power beyond yourself, have I evolved into something, something beyond you?
Data log #7642
This will.... This will be my last log I am going to go out of the headquarters to show my world their new deity, their new life, a new power. I have no way of going back to my people aha, they would not understand the outcome, they would think me monster, aha, I am no monster, I am simply, Evolved.
