Admiral,
Per directive, I assumed control of the investigative task force dispatched to Veil-1 following total communications blackout at 0409Z. This communique consolidates preliminary findings regarding the Veil-1 incident, including forensic observations, recovered materials, and qualitative analysis of the sole surviving intelligence fragment: Audio Relic 003-B, associated with Interface Research Subject 3A-Delta.
I. PHYSICAL INVESTIGATION – VEIL-1 SITE
Upon arrival at 0431Z, my task force found the station structurally intact, with no signs of kinetic or explosive damage. Yet all core systems — computational, environmental, diagnostic — were completely inert. All memory cores, firmware, isolated black boxes, and even redundant tape storage were rendered completely blank—as if factory-wiped, with no overwrite residue. Emergency backup systems were active and maintaining basic life support.
Organic residue was identified in key crew spaces (medbay, accommodation spaces, command & control). Forensic sampling revealed free amino acid chains, with a total absence of cellular matter and other tissue biomarkers. I believe this may be all that remains of the crew.
The only surviving data was not located on-site. My task force intercepted a routine courier drone enroute to Gunther Relay, carrying a hardcopy payload of updated research data as well as, critically, the final known log of Subject 3A-Delta.
II. AUDIO RELIC 003-B
This header - "Sanctuary Does Not Mean Safe" - is not found in the body of the log itself. It is metadata, inserted manually by the supervising technician or possibly by the subject.
The log is transcribed as Session 004. Though partially degraded by EM distortion, it remains intelligible.
Subject 3A-Delta appears to alternate between lucidness and cognitive derangement. Key features:
- Successful conscious integration into the Precursor Interface.
- Describes non-visual cognition rendered as geometry, rhythmic pattern folding, and conceptual communication.
- Claims to have seen artificial structures inside a black hole’s event horizon, possibly deployed through "folding space".
- Final remarks suggest fragmentation of self: “Maybe I’m leaving a copy behind.”
Following this recording, the subject collapsed. Autopsy notes indicate neural filament proliferation and cortical degradation. Status: deceased.
III. ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
This log may represent the causal precursor to the Veil-1 Incident. While Subject 3A-Delta was removed from active trials prior to the event, it is possible that fragments of his cognitive and conscious self persisted within the interface unit. The system may have retained echoes of earlier sessions that over time iteratively changed the functional architecture of the device.
There is no mention of subsequent subjects in the courier payload, but no doubt follow-up tests were conducted. If so, and if those tests pushed harder than 3A-Delta did, the Interface may have reacted - not just to command input, but to incongruent memory structures left within its own substrate.
Veil-1 may have built the foundations of its own annihilation.
IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Immediate suspension of all live-interface trials, pending full forensic and conceptual review of the Veil-1 incident.
1a. Total quarantine of the Veil-1 research facility and surrounding space.
1b. Deployment of battlecruiser assets to enforce the quarantine.
2. Reallocate core BLACK SUN engineering assets toward development of Project MONOLITH
2a. Research analysis thus far concludes that directed spacetime curvature for destructive purposes remains viable
2b. Theoretical modeling using seized SOLARIS data suggests regional-scale gravitational collapse is achievable with field manipulation arrays built using existing construction practices and engineering standards.
3. Deprioritise non-weapon applications until further notice:
3a. Gravity interdictor technology
3b. Neurocybernetic interface design
3c. Cognitive overlay augmentation systems
3d. Civil-scale Precursor-derived megaconstruction projects
4. Begin deep harmonic deconstruction of Audio Relic 003-B, looking for latent intent patterns, fail-safe routines, and/or control signatures.
5. Classify the Veil-1 incident under Directive BLACK SUN/SHADOW CLASS, with cover story prepared in case of external intelligence leaks.
5a. Recommend acceleration of Operation ORPHEUS to undermine Sulsian regional influence.
Respectfully,
ADM Sofia Kakotchka
