-Last diary entry of one Jonothon Hales, Liberty Military specialist-
-deceased-
-loading diary-

I have found a rather curious specimen. From the debris fields around manhatten, about a week ago, an unknown object fell to earth. It was believed to be just another piece of scrap-such things usually fall into the planet's gravitational well from the debris fields-except it scanned as something of unknown origin. Curious as i am, i had a heavy lifter positioned it low earth orbit to take whatever i might find.
When i reached the location, the sight i saw amazed me. A large, green SHIP of some sort had fallen into the gravity well! I was quite surprised and i had the subject taken back to my laboratory to study.
It seems that this 'being' if it could be called as much, is a non-organic brain-from what i can gather, i have no exact idea of the subject's true purpose- and is built as a shroud of wires and filaments which escape my understanding. I have not probed further for fear of damaging it. I hope that i -may- be able to rehabilitate the subject and use it to understand more of its advanced design.
I have hooked it up to a closed network of computers in a hope of uncovering its 'memory' or 'hard drive' as it would be, but have failed.
Now, as to it's origin. I have taken electro-magnetic scalings, particle testings, and gravitational simulations, and it seems that the subject originates from somewhere within the unknown worlds beyond the ****** system, the omicrons as they are known. I would adore to find its origin, but alas-the area is guarded fiercely by order, outcasts, corsairs and god knows what else.
I will continue to study the subject's origin to determine what it is, but until then, signing off.
