Video| UN: NavySpear
[The camera is set a few feet away, so both Mike and the Command Deck video screen fit in view. He speaks with an easy authority, a man used to leading meetings.]
As many of you have probably heard, after the door to the Command Deck was breached video logs of the previous crew were discovered. Many of them are corrupted, and a lot of them that aren't don't seem to have any real substance - they're just the day to day operations of the station - but we have found one that's different.
[He leans, reaching out to something just out of view, and suddenly the large video screen comes to life. Mike turns slightly to watch with the camera.
A woman orders one crew member to contact mission command. She then informs mission command that they are about to begin test zero-zero-five and to stand by. The crew clearly knows the protocol for running this test; various crew members call out their tasks, from slowing the rings to a stop (after which gravity ceases on the command desk and presumably everywhere on the station) to initiating drive.
There is a tense moment. A crew member keeps calling percentages: “Drive at five percent. Drive at ten percent.”
Eventually: “Drive steady at 60 percent. Steady -”
Several consoles beep. “Drive failed.”
The woman contacts mission command again: “Be advised. Test zero-zero-five failed after a climb to 60%.”
The video comes to and end and the screen winks to black. Mike looks back at the camera.]
As best as we can tell, the woman giving the orders is the same "Ghost" recently recorded and posted to this same network. Clearly, they were running experiments here. For what end? The videos don't say. But given the state of things.... Bets are they didn't end well.
