Tannik Seldon's Personal Log

[sushi]

--Begin Entry--

Something very strange is happening, and it is almost certainly bad. First, I'm still in the hospital, and I was supposed to be gone this morning. I checked the date last night! But when I walked, without any trouble at all, to the checkout desk, I was informed that I needed to stay longer for observation.

"Sorry, sir, we can't let you leave yet." the secretary said.

"But it's the 23rd!" I responded.

"Yes. You aren't scheduled to leave until the 31st."

"Are you sure? I checked it last night! I've checked it every day since I got here!"

"I'm sorry sir, but it says the 31st. See for yourself."

I looked... she was right. The form said the 31st. But I know what I'd seen last night. I tried a different tack.

"Look miss, I'm fine. Really. I'm ready to go. Whatever the form says, can I please leave now?" I pleaded.

"Cpt. Seldon, we can't allow that, I'm afraid." she responded. She seemed genuinely sorry, and...scared? Why? At any rate, I couldn't just run for it. The hospital was a bit too well guarded for me to flee on foot.

I returned to my room, dejected, and started parsing through Navy comm traffic again. Whaa? What was this? There was a personal message in my inbox... coded, with no sender and no address information.

Now you know why I left. You understand something is wrong, you feel powerless to stop it. Your fellows will turn on you, your superiors will doubt you, and the general populace will begin to mutter rumors behind your back; rumors of 'Traitor.'

But I know better. You are loyal and true, but not to the DoD and that makes you dangerous.

I want your help. I need your help. And to prove my faith to you, I will disclose a tidbit of information you should find very interesting.

Special Division Six, of the DoD, has ordered Governor Osorojo's execution. Perhaps someone should intervine...

Truthfully,
An Ex. Liberty Black Ops Agent

How did he know? How did WHO know? And how did he want my help? And that part about Gov. OsoRojo...oh space.

I quickly scanned through more comm logs. Lots of crazy things happening.
Mark Kaine's ship suddenly out of power and drifting. Nobody's rescued him yet? Why? Harrison Gurney, found dead. "New Leadership" coming to the SA to fix the "tumultuous situation."

Me having my hospital stay mysteriously "extended."

A mysterious message warning of danger to the Governor.

Something's wrong. I need to get out of here. FAST.
