This morning, I received a message on my communicator from the username m.muller. When I tried to message them back, all I received was an error. I don't recognize her, but maybe someone else will.

[So Mako attaches a video file. There's a woman with frizzy red hair and freckles on screen, looking slightly panicked. "My name is Martina Muller," she says, and her voice is calm and slightly accented. There's a sudden crash behind her, and she cuts herself off with a gasp. "You have to warn the others! There is a traitor on board. Wherever you are, there is a traitor on board, you have to–"

And then the message cuts off.]

It seems like not everyone received it, so it wasn't a network wide broadcast. As far as I can tell, it came from the station, but I don't know where.

I also tried to unlock one of the doors. I've figured out which wires control the locking mechanism, but nothing I did to override or overload them seemed to work. Has anyone else had any luck?

That's a very valuable piece of information.
My thanks for sharing it.

So what we know thus far is that:
1) They were attempting to "save the world."
2) Whatever they were doing exactly, they tried and failed multiple times; at least six.
3) One of these failures ended in catastrophe. They claim that they did the "opposite" of saving the world, but the only effects we can see from here are the damage to the lower decks of the station, and the disappearance of the crew.
4) From what you received, it seems likely that the attempt they expected to be successful failed because of a traitor.

As for the doors, I haven't heard of anyone having success yet.
Even @APOLLO2 couldn't find a way to bypass them from the outside of the station.

Bet she was part of the batch of lab rats that was here before us

Well that ain't worrying at all.

[It's extremely worrying.]

Don't recognise her, myself. Could be an old distress signal, still in the system somewhere? Think we'd be able to tell if the station was crashing around us, at the moment.

don't think i've seen that lady around nowhere.

you tried any kind of brute force tactic to get the doors open? real strong people or whatever. i know trying to break through the man-eating walls that way has weird 'come down from adderall' effects, but a guy can hope

If anything about how these doors work made sense I'd be getting 'em open left and right already.
I dunno, they run on stupid moon tech or something.

Thanks for sharing. Haven't got a clue who she is, but thanks all the same. Maybe we'll find out it time.

And no luck with the doors I'm afraid. It's completely mad. I think it's about time we applied a little more brute force to the situation...

[ someone took the singular gamora, okay. ]

No luck. They can't be forced open, either.
But I also received an archived message. The one that was posted discussed on here earlier.
A woman said, "Wait, there's a problem, we're not where we" and then cut off.
Perhaps the traitor changed their course.

It's too bad the time and date functions on our communicators are busted. I still think this was an old message, but the question is how old? And why would it get resent now? Nobody's been able to access any records so far, that I've heard.

Maybe it's a warning for us, too.

[ a survivor on the inside shooting out every clip they can get their hands on, or a clever comms technician who set the messages to go out randomly to any live receptors in the vicinity, even after their own death. she assumes the latter was how the last message from an alien death trap was sent to her ship. ]

Was that transmitted within the station? Is it possible it was sent from elsewhere, and would we be able to tell if it was?

Be careful entering the walls. The people who were chasing the voices screaming for help, who experienced the wave of exhaustion when they tried to break them out? The sensation was an unrelated defense mechanism the building has in place. It triggers a personal physical attack if you make an attempt to do damage to the station.

I might be able to trace the source of the message, if you let me see your communicator.

[ So far, he hadn't had much luck accessing the station's network archives, but it was worth a try. ]

I've tried hitting a few of the doors with brute force, but none of them have budged. If the crew was dealing with sabotage, we might still have to deal with some of what they did before they left.

[ Neither the name nor the woman ring any bells, though it's difficult to gauge the size of the station when so many of the areas appear to be locked. ] Possibly another archived message, like the one playing on a loop when we woke.

[ He can only really speak to the group in the gym, of course; has been too busy mapping out the station (as best he can) to bother with being social. A mistake, evidently. ]

I suppose a timestamp would be expecting too much. To give us a point of reference to work from.

oh my god?
okay. wow.
that definitely makes the message i got look a lot more. worrying, i guess?
worrisome. sorry

also i haven't figured out anything about the doors
except that some of them can eat people?
like, not literally. i hope
but people got stuck inside them. so that's. great?

i kind of think this place might be alive
