At
1300 - Tighter security protocols are in place - marines accompanied by officers are guarding powerplant, propulsion, communication and weapon system. Morale aboard our vessel dropped down - traitors aboard our vessels are rare, almost unheard of - especially when the crew is assembled from clan members. When we catch our traitor I want to know his or her reasons.
Power grid will be repaired in one day - we are stuck in here until then. At least we don't have to worry about outside hostiles in this dark rocky nebula. Our supplies will be running low in two weeks.
At
1530 - Security protocols proved to be effective so far. All teams are intact and they haven't reported any suspicious activity so far. Repairs continue without any incidents.
By
1800 - At the start of the night shift one crewmen is reported missing - marine H. Zales. She is one of those who were searching the station two times, but she returned back without any issues. She was in the squad of A. Sanchez and J. Picani. Right now I don't know if we have another victim or our traitor.
Speaking of victims - A. Sanchez and J. Picani are in coma. My chief physician can only look at them and see how are they going to die. Their bodies are still in shock and does not respond to any treatment. There is an odd case with their brain activity, however, as when my chief physician experienced with it - he noticed how their brains are unusually active despite not responding to any stimuli. We are unable to draw any conclusions from it as our improvised equipment is not precise enough.
At
2200 - A. Sanchez and J. Picani are beyond point of return. We will try to sustain their life functions as long as possible, but there is a little chance of recovery. If we could get back in time to Malta or Zoner medical facility they would have a chance, but we can't repair our grid in time.
Still no sight of H. Zales, almost like sh...
ENTRY INTERRUPTED
Fiorella stopped writing for a moment as she tries to listen all the sudden. She had a feeling that she heard gunshots within the ship. Her walkie talkie buzzes and she quickly picks it up,
"De Marco. What's happening?".
"Capo Russo, Team 3, we have encountered Henrietta Zales.", male voice from the device responded.
"What about those gunshots?", Comandante asked and grabbed her large handgun.
"That was her, comandante. In 33-12. She shot five of my men.", replied Capo Russo.
"Where did she go? Call medics and other squads, we are going to encircle her.", Fiorella said into her walkie talkies as she run from her quarters towards port side of her ship.
She run through the darkened corridors of her ship as it was running on emergency power now due to all those power grid repairs, and slowed down only to make more calls over the comms.
As she run around the corner, she was surprised by laser shots coming from the vent on the other side of the corridor. She felt immense pain as her two of those shots hit her left shoulder and scratched her left thigh. She immediately ducked into the cover, holding her gun in right hand and not paying much attention to her dropped radio. Shortly after she stopped feeling sharp pain in her left shoulder as her implanted auto injector dosed her with and extra shot of cardamine. Fiorella felt light headed and world around her slowed down.
Fiorella carefully peeked around the corner trying to spot foe hiding in the vent, but there was none to be seen. She slowly approached the vent and was carefully listening for any signs of her foe. Comandante picks up her radio, pushes the button and says quietly,
"De Marco here - Henrietta is not in 33-12, she is using maitenance tunnels to move around the ship. Go to the engineering - she might be going in there - I'll check the other direction.". Man on the radio replies,
"Si, we will be there.".
Fiorella walks towards the first aid kit hanging on the wall and opens it as she is searching for the sprayflesh to tend and desinfect her laser burns. Then she crouches down and enters the maitenance tunnel and sneaks slowly forward.
As she crawls through the tunnels, Fiorella hears faint metal noises on the junction in front of her. Full of adrenaline and cardamine, Fiorella sneaks towards the junction with her heavy handgun aimed at the source of the noise and hides behind the corner.
As she peeks out - she notices Henrietta connecting her laptop at the communication array manual override. Fiorella aims her handgun at her head, but as Comandante readies herself to shout at her - Henrietta suddenly turns around, grabs her gun and aims it at Fiorella with her crazed eyes wide open.
Pew! BLAM! Brrzzt!
Fiorella sighs with relief as Henrietta's headless body falls down on the floor. Broken manual override console sparks with electricity in front of her and she lower her smoking handgun as she sits down. She paid little attention to smoldering hole in the panel near her left cheek, caused by laser shot and slowly cooling down. Fiorella reaches for her radio and turns it on,
"De Marco here... I found her, we are at the tunnel 35, junction FB. No need to hurry.".
FINAL REPORT
1400 26/05/828 - Amalfi is fully operational again and we are on our way to Malta. Yaese Research Facility was not visited again. A. Sanchez and J. Picani deceased past midnight from total organ failure caused by unknown condition. H. Zales was indeed our saboteur, but there are no clues about her reasons so far. Examination of her remains proved high levels of adrenaline in her system as with other two victims, yet the reason is unknown. H. Zales' possessions are being examined by my experts. There are no results so far as she encrypted her laptop very well and we will need time to break into it.
Overall - we have 3 deaths, 6 wounded. MNS Amalfi was unreachable from 23/05/828 till 26/05/828 because of the Aniva Nebula.
