PDA



The PDA (Personal digital assistant) is one of Doom 3's most useful items. It acts as a media player, email reader and access key for restricted areas.

Besides the player's personal PDA, other PDAs can be picked up and scanned to read helpful hints (including backstory, hints to monster types ahead, and combination codes for lockers).

PDAs you are not supposed to have are attributed to Duncan Mathews, and contain the contents of his PDA.

Safety Awareness Month From: Safety committee Downloaded: Info terminal in the Mars City Departure Lounge

''Safety is critical to everything we do on Mars. We will review all standard safety protocols during the month of November - Safety Awareness month.''

It is mandatory that you schedule time to attend each of these valuable workshops.

Proper Plasma Handling: Review of the proper storage of plasma, how to handle plasma leaks, and the best ways to treat plasma burns.

''Emergency First Aid: Learn the location and correct use for all of the Health Packs placed throughout the facility. Special attention will be given to waste prevention methods. Health resources are squandered if a large pack is used when only a small pack is needed.''

''Storage of Weapons and Ammo: Special lecture on the safe storage of weapons and ammo. Fred Nilsson will be giving hands-on lessons in proper targeting and strafing.''

''Emergency Loss of Environment: This lecture will focus on what to do if you are faced with an air leak, structural failure, or airlock failure. Special care will be paid to the locations of emergency air tanks.''

See postings outside UAC HR for times and locations.

Code-Black: Missing Scientist From: UAC Security Downloaded: Info terminal in Mars City Reception

''Dr. Jonathan Ishii from the Delta Science Team is missing. Security is concerned that he may be injured and unable to respond to pages or return to his post. Please keep an eye out for Dr. Ishii and report to UAC Security if he is located.''

He was last seen in Mars City Underground approaching the airlock leading to the old communications array.

The Soul Cube From: Research Archive Downloaded: Ian McCormick's computer, Delta Labs Level 2a

Report filed by Ian McCormick:

''I've been working on the Soul Cube for a few weeks now. It is a fascinating artifact and as it turns out, it has some amazing properties. I wrote a new glyph pattern query yesterday and let it run all night. With the new query, the linguistics computer finally cracked the remaining glyphs!''

''The Soul Cube is by every definition a weapon, and it seems to have been built to repel whatever type of creatures invaded this ancient culture. If I am reading them right, during a battle the cube gains power with each life the wielder takes. When it is fully charged it can be used to slay even the strongest of creatures. Even more impressive is that when it kills a creature it transfers that creature's life force back to who is using the cube!''

I know this sounds like magic and I have not been able to activate it to prove the theory but this is what the glyphs illustrate.

''The glyphs specifically point out that you must kill five creatures before it becomes charged and then amazingly it will tell you it is ready. It is almost like a sentient being; this object is a fantastic find.''

Specimen 197 - Imp From: Research Archive Downloaded: Stasis Chamber 1 computer, Delta Labs Level 2b

''This humanoid's long and muscular limbs make it extremely agile as a biped or quadruped. Its long and sharp claws allow for climbing steep surfaces. A configuration of 10 eyes provides this creature with a wide field of vision and the ability to see with clarity in low-light environments.''

Specimen 42 - Living Dead (partial) From: Research Archive Downloaded: Stasis Chamber 3 computer, Delta Labs Level 2b

''Able to function without recognizable brain activity, this creature has little regard for self-preservation. Though slow moving, its behavior is aggressive and tenacious.''

Specimen 27 - Imp (partial) From: Research Archive Downloaded: Stasis Chamber 4 computer, Delta Labs Level 2b

-Left forearm amputated for biological study. Researchers are currently studying how this creature is able to manifest and throw an explosive plasma projectile from its hands.

Specimen 31 - Hellknight (partial) From: Research Archive Downloaded: Stasis Chamber 5 computer, Delta Labs Level 2b

''The cranial mass of this bipedal specimen indicates that it is one of the largest creatures inhabiting the site. Overpowering its prey with sheer might, the Hellknight is one of the most ferocious predators known to our researchers. Like the imp, this creature is able to defend itself at long-range with thrown plasma projectiles.''

Specimen 218 - Revenant From: Research Archive Downloaded: Stasis Chamber 6 computer, Delta Labs Level 2b

''This creature's endoskeleton is visible through a translucent non-solid skin. Despite the absence of any visible muscles, this creature is able to strike at close-range targets with enormous strength. Two shoulder-mounted cannons controlled by its nervous system allow this creature to fire guided rocket- propelled missiles.''

Valuable Sacrificial Pointers From: Research Archive Downloaded: Corrupted info terminal in the CPU Access, Delta Complex (revisited)

''Our time is here! Soon the humans will suffer eternal torment as spoken of in the prophesy. We will feast upon their souls!''

When opening sacrificial portals, it is important to remember:

- Virgin blood is best  - Goat blood must be no older than 3 days  - Entrails must be removed and apportioned either before death, or no later than 30min  - Candles must be sorted by tallest in back to shortest in front - never the other way around!

Most important - pentagrams must be drawn from the center to the outside and left to right.

Audio Logs
Maintenance Update ''This is the audio log of maintenance technician Adam Berneche, dated November 10th, 2145. I fixed the couplings on the heat shields this morning with no problems. I did however have another odd experience while I was down there. Shortly after finishing the first coupling adjustment, I distinctly heard whispering. When I went to investigate the sounds, I found nothing. I checked the work logs and I was the only person scheduled to be in that area today.

''That experience, coupled with the stories I've heard from some guys over in the Delta Labs has me pretty freaked out. I'm really beginning to hate going down to the underground maintenance area. The people down there are a bit off. The mumblings, the weird looks, the whole place is just plain creepy. I'm always expecting someone to jump out at me.

''I've secured my tools and the busted modulator in the storage cabinet next to the maintenance elevator. Technicians should use cabinet code 396 to access them. End of log.''

Adam,

''Please take more caution in securing your personal data assistant. It's turned up in lost and found three times this month. As you know, your base security clearances are stored on that and it becomes a serious security issue any time a PDA is lost. Failure to secure your PDA could eventually result in your termination.''

''Adam,

''Your report is long overdue. Record an audio log for what you've done today on your maintenance shift and send it to me immediately. I know you recoded the cabinet today, and it is imperative that I update my master list with the new code.

''Mr. Berneche,

''I have some great news for you, your name came up in our last management meeting as a possible candidate for our Delta Labs outreach program. As you have probably heard, we are conducting some very exciting and important experiments here in Delta. Your supervisor recommended you as a good candidate and in fact he insisted you would be perfect for the job. I've reviewed your file and I agree with his assessment, you will make a perfect test subject.''

Our work here is very important to the UAC and you should feel privileged that you have a chance to be a part of it.

Unexplainable Things ''This is Grant Baston, the environmental services supervisor. The date is October 19th. I've been hearing an alarming number of reports on some, uh, unexplainable things. Being on another planet and working underground has always been a little spooky, so we always have the occasional report of strange things. But what is worrying me is the fact that the number of these reports is up by a lot. People are truly frightened.''

''The rumors we're hearing about experiments from the Delta Complex are not helping. The power fluctuations aren't helping at all either. Having the lights flicker constantly and losing power for several minutes at a time is scaring everyone down here.''

''I'm doing my best to keep people on track, but we're continually shorthanded. Someone is reporting in sick almost every day. I'll keep my director appraised of the situation and will continue to log reports as I get them.''

Power Demands ''This is the audio log of Frank Delahue, engineering manager assigned to power production dated October 18th, 2145. The current operational status of the grid is 23% over nominal capacity. I've increased workshifts to 12 hours a day for all personnel to keep up with demand.''

''The constant and increasing load from the Delta Complex is causing havoc. We are going to start losing critical systems if we have to sustain these levels much longer. I request clearance to requisition parts from other departments in order to maintain our equipment.''

''Ok. I don't know what is going on over in Delta but I'm doing all I can down here. The constant demands are bad enough but the rumors going around are making things a whole lot worse. And I've got to tell you if things don't get better soon, all hell is going to break loose...''

Fire Blast Precautions ''This is the audio log of Frank Delahue, engineering manager assigned to power production dated October 24th, 2145. Reclamation problems continue to plague the main processor. Two more valve overloads on that unit in just the past week. These overloads can destroy the valves, causing very dangerous fire, jetting with enough heat to incinerate sensitive equipment nearby.''

''To date we've had only one reported injury as a result of these valve failures, and this is due in large part to the quick response of the engineering team. Our procedure of entering the failure code 842 in the operation terminal have proved adequate and I recommend no changes in that procedure.''

''I'm very concerned over the shipping procedures out here. I am the manifest controller, and as such I need to be informed of everything coming in and out of Mars City. Someone here is subverting my position and preventing me from getting data on things being shipped.''

Audio Logs
High Incidence of Psychological Reports ''Audio log for Dr. Caseon, currently stationed at Mars City. I've just left the weekly status meeting here at medical. The most prominent topic was the vast number of psychological issues we are seeing as of late. The number of reports indicates that 10% of the overall base personnel have shown symptoms. As many people will not come in for this type of thing, the number of affected personnel could truly be in the 30-40% range.''

''It is even manifested itself here in medical. We have several nurses and a couple of good doctors out for related reasons. I'm going to formally request two additional psychiatrists on the next shuttle from Earth. The two we have are being overworked and the content of their sessions with patients is starting to affect them as well. Dr. Caseon out.''

Note: According to the game files, the date is 10-30-2145.

Patient Attack ''Dr. Mark Caseon. At 15:37 patient Jonathan Wills was admitted after complaining of insomnia and nausea. According to the nurse, Mr. Wills was calm and exhibited no signs of disorder when he was brought to exam room 5. However, by the time I reached him at ten after four, his personality had changed dramatically.''

''When I entered the room, Mr. Wills lunged at me with a scalpel he apparently stole from a supply drawer. With assistance of an orderly we managed to subdue and sedate him without injury. Mr. Wills was heavily medicated and could not be diagnosed. But in the 20 minutes he was left unattended he managed to carve three symbols in his arm and cut his own tongue into two halves.''

''I can only guess at the cause of his problems. I hope that additional psychiatrists arrive soon. In the meantime in response to this assault, all medical supplies and armaments will be locked in a secure hospital cabinet with the code 347. Dr. Caseon out.''

''There have been a lot of things happening here on the base. I believe the UAC experiments being performed here must be the cause. Out here they could be experimenting on God knows what.''

''There are quite a few people missing. No marines of course, it's the civilian population I'm referring to. The bottom line, whatever it is they have going on here has my men on a razor's edge.''

''At this point there is no cause for alarm but I am requesting we rotate squads every 90 days instead of every 180. I will continue to report as the situation develops. It is good we have the new marines in route, fresh faces will help. Sergeant Tyson out.''

I've started a series of training exercises focusing on close quarter, small weapons combat, as well as instituting mandatory refresher courses on all munitions and weapons in our armory.''

''In response to the large number of security breaches and general feelings of ill will around the base, I've doubled security details, placing 2 marines at each checkpoint. This additional presence should help calm things down. I expect that the incoming marines are not quite as green as the last deployment.

Sentry Bot Security Date: 11-02-2145 From: PFC Hagar

''Staff Sergeant Tyson,

''I have been a major supporter of putting Sentry Bots on routine patrols. In the past, they have proven to be very reliable. That changed today.''

''I witnessed two of our guys doing maintenance on a bot in Mars City. While having it only partially assembled, they activated its sensors to test their repairs. All of the sudden, the Sentry locked onto one of the marines as an enemy and began firing at him. If the ammo had been loaded, that marine would have been killed. Thankfully the other marine was able to immobilize it quickly.''

''The Sentry Bot is powerful - but maybe too powerful. Why do we need that much firepower in Mars City? Except for the odd report of individuals going a little crazy, we don't have many problems. Do we really expect the Sentry Bots to know the difference between someone having a bad day and someone gone mad?''

I hope you can talk to Sarge about this before something worse happens.

Missing Personnel ''This is the audio log of director William Banks, dated October 20th, 2145. It is come to my attention that we have an alarming number of missing personnel throughout the base. My office has received 4 additional reports from Delta in the last week alone, mentioning that personnel are not reporting for work and that calls to their quarters have gone unanswered.''

''My office has sent the names of those personnel to Mars City Security and they have promised to initiate an investigation. But this news is... very disturbing, especially at a time when we have so many people in the infirmary, suffering from sudden cases of schizophrenia and other psychological disorders. I hope there is no connection between those cases and these reports of missing personnel.''

Energy Deficiencies ''This is the audio log of director William Banks, dated October 5th, 2145. It has been brought to my attention by environmental services that the recent power grid changes have caused many non critical systems to malfunction. The report explains that this is due to either intermittent power outages or lower than optimal voltage input.''

''It also says that sufficient power distribution to all non-critical systems is becoming more difficult to maintain thanks to Dr. Betruger and his so-called optimizations to the energy storage in and around the facility. I assured the director of E. S. that I would file a report with Central Authority over this.''

Director Banks, I need your urgent attention on this matter.

''It is very important to my research that all crates containing religious artifacts arriving from earth, with a co-sign for Delta Labs, go directly there with no interruption or delay.

ADMIN: Network Security Status ''This is Paul Simons, security specialist in IT. Our network security has been breached several times over the last few days. Now, it looks like it may have been going on longer than that but whoever did this really knew what they were doing. They covered their tracks really well. I just happened to notice some log anomalies or it would still be going on.''

''The intrusion came on an encrypted carrier signal from the Delta Complex. They piggybacked the virus on one of the supercomputer requests and it peeled itself from the data stream once it was inside our firewall. Someone on the inside there has to be responsible.''

''Unfortunately, due to the security in that complex, I can only tell that it came from within Delta. There's no way to identify which machine or even which lab it came from. Whoever was in our system had access to all personnel data including medical reports. My team will be monitoring the network closely over the next few days looking for anything unusual.

HR Accident Report ''Audio log for Jack Smith, Benefits Analyst in HR 10/24/2145. I just went through another batch of accident reports from the science team. We've had five more people hurt this week while working with the equipment.''

''The most serious incident was with John Hughes, whose hand was caught in one of the plastic extrusion systems. He was performing maintenance on it and states that he unplugged it and had the safety key in his pocket. It managed to activate without an apparent power source and, uh, shredded his arm up to the elbow before someone got him out. It's been reported that the, uh, machine is still running and we can't shut it down.''

''The cost on that incident alone is enough to raise the red flag but this is just one in a pile. We're going to overrun our budget on benefits payouts this quarter and while it's not my department, I have to assume that the new equipment budget is going to be blown out as well because according to these reports, the equipment is breaking down on a daily basis.

I got your contact from our chamber of commerce here in Nigeria and have no doubt in your ability to handle this proposal involving huge sum of money. My father Chief Isama OKONKWO. (Now Late) was the Royal Head of my community, ELEME (an oil rich town) in Nigeria. My community produces 5.8% of the total crude oil production in Nigeria and 0.5% of the Dollar value of each barrel is paid to my father as royalty by the Federal Government. My father was also the Chairman of ISAMA Special Oil Trust Fund. In his position as the Royal head and Chairman of the Oil Trust Fund, he made some money which he left for me as the only heir to inherit.''

''The money is Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars(US$18.5). This Money originated from the accumulated royalties between 1976-1998. Due to poor banking system in Nigeria and political instability as a result of past Military rules (1985-1999), he deposited this Money in a Strong Room/ Just before my father died he called my attention to the money and charged me to look for a foreigner who would assist me in the transfer/investment of the funds abroad. So l would be very grateful if you could accept to help me achieve this great objective. I promise to give you 25% of the total funds transferred to your vital bank account as compensation for your assistance. Five percent (5%)has been set aside to take care of all expenses we may incur during the transaction. To indicate your interest, contact me urgently and confidentially for more information and the roles you will play in this business.''

Steve, ''I'm still shaken from that incident with Swensen. When I close my eyes I still see that look on his face in the instant between the impact of the plasma, and when his head turned to blue vapor. I don't think I'll ever be able to sleep again.''

''I never liked him, I don't know who was crazy enough to give him a plasma gun, but no one should go that way. The worst of it is I've seen a lot of folks who seem more on edge than Swensen was. Something needs to be done.''

''We should lock up the ammo in one of the storage lockers for starters. You pick the code. Make sure you file a report too.''

Lets help this poor girl! Date: 11-15-2145 From: Eric Grossman

''guys..... this isn't a chain letter, but a choice for all of us to save a little girl that's going to die of a serious and fatal form of cancer. Please send this to everyone you know...or don't know at that. This little girl has 6 months left to live her life, and as her last wish, she wanted to send a chain letter telling everyone to live their life to fullest, since she never will. She'll never make it to prom, graduate school, or get married and have a family of her own. By you sending this to as many people as possible, you can give her and her family a little hope, because with every name that this is sent to, the UAC will donate 3 credits per name to her treatment and recovery plan. One guy sent this to 500 people!!!! So, I know that we can send it to at least 5 or 6. Come on you guys.... and if you're too selfish to waste 10-15 minutes and scrolling this and forwarding it to EVERYONE, just think it could be you one day....and it's not even your credits, just your time. Please help this little girl out guys, I know you can do it!! I love you guys!''

Unsafe Driving ''This is the audio log of officer Ron Ridge, dated October 16th, 2145. Recent transport tunnel accidents are causing major headaches for both supply and maintenance. Each accident cost is an estimated 1 to 3 hour delay in what are mostly time sensitive shipments.''

''It's becoming evident that certain junctions need safety adjustments as well as recommitment to driving safety by all personnel. The EnPro to Comm Center route has shown the biggest increase in accidents over the past 6 months. Safety signs and improved lighting are needed throughout the main junctions over the stretch of tunnels and paths.''

Module Replacement This is the audio log of technician Seamus [-STATIC-] ''dated October 16th, 2145. Our relatively new remote module replacement procedures are taking some time for maintenance technicians to adjust to. In the long run it's a much safer, quicker and easier method.''

''Once a technician receives a call he simply locates the problem module and gives a replacement command through the remote terminal located in the Main Comm block. This will initiate the replacement procedure as well as create a repair report which notifies the repair team of an incoming module so minor repairs can be done on site with normal equipment.''

HAZMAT Response ''This is the audio log of Nicholas Sadowayj, member of UAC Mars HAZMAT response team, dated October 1st, 2145. We have concluded that the Martian atmosphere is wreaking havoc on the exhaust valve seals in the standard number 5 disposal drums.''

''The engineers cannot explain the high levels of contaminants in our internal atmosphere. The air scrubbers and filtration systems all seem to be operating at normal levels. Yet, a small layer of particulate is making it into the storage areas. That is what caused the lockdown yesterday.''

''EAP director Charles Hollies informs me that the personnel won't be harmed by these contaminants in the air but we've seen that they do cause a corrosive reaction when introduced to the rubber compounds used in the storage systems. Effective immediately, all number 5 disposal drums must be locked away in at least a class 2 rated transport medium. Assessment ends.''

Magnetic Lock Repairs ''This is the audio log of engineer Sam Harding, dated April 5th, 2145. I have just completed repairs on the magnetic locks and I've significantly reprogrammed the pressure sensors on the Monorail system. My fellow engineers and I are confident that the accident of last week will never happen again.''

''The accident should never have happened in the first place. The internal sensors led the computers to believe that there was a vacuum inside the vehicle. Unfortunately, the computer decided that the only way to fix this pressure discrepancy was to open all doors in an attempt to equalize pressure with the outside.''

''In going over 15,000 lines of code today, I can see no reason for this tragic event to have occurred. But somehow the logs show the discrepancy as clear as day. Honestly, this looks to me like another case of a solid system going to hell in a hand basket.''

''I'm confident that the layers of protection I added to the code today will prevent any such occurrences from happening again. I'm off to meet engineer Jim Torbin at the access doors to Delta Complex platform to try to troubleshoot a faulty track sensor that's been causing the door to stick.''

''We are going to be transporting a large specimen from Delta. Normally we would not be using the Monorail, but we need to get it to Phobos Lab and this is our only option.''

''The specimen will be sedated, however given both the importance and the hazardous nature of it, we feel it is prudent to have an enhanced security presence. You and your men should be prepared with full armor and plasma guns. However, lethal force should be only used as a last resort. Bringing this thing alive through the teleporter cost seven men their lives and it would be a shame to waste that effort.''

''Also, as you know there are plenty of rumors about our specimens. I do not want this to get out of control. Information about this transport must be kept to only those that need to know what is in the container.''

Audio Logs
Observation of Science Personnel ''This is the audio log of medical supervisor Peter Raleigh, dated October 29th, 2145. We have exhausted all known forms of drug treatment in hopes of finding a way to abate this strange outbreak of dementia and I have yet to receive any additional data from the psychiatrists back on Earth. Options are quickly dwindling.''

''Approximately 80% of all extra planar participants exhibit signs of mild neurosis within the first 48 hours after returning from their expeditions. Within 72 hours, 75% of patients exhibit extreme signs of paranoid delusion and violence.''

''We have isolated these cases in hopes of finding the pathogen. As yet we can find no biological contaminants that would lead to such drastic changes in cognitive processing. It seems that whatever this pathogen is, it attacks higher brain functions and only leaves more basal functions in the lower brain stem.''

''We've witnessed a high percentage of subjects lose ability for rational thought and communication skills and then the physical changes become evident. Subjects in this group appear to atrophy - skin pales; muscles become slack; bone, teeth and fingernails become almost translucent, veiny sinews of their former selves. I have never seen anything like this in my career. Our observations continue.''

Death of Steve Jensen ''This is the audio log of medical supervisor Peter Raleigh, dated November 1st, 2145. Patient 0432, a Private Steve Jensen of the UAC Darklight Armored Corp Division expired today at 15:43 of a self inflicted gunshot wound. This is approximately 110 hours after his return from expeditionary missions.''

''Private Jensen was suffering from paranoid delusions and full blown dementia. Treatment was unsuccessful. He was the last surviving member of his outfit, four other squad mates who also came back with Private Jensen expired from injuries suffered on that last mission shortly after their return.''

''Before his death Private Jensen was heard screaming in both English and other languages, something about demon hordes feasting on our souls. The other language was later discovered to be Aramaic. Due to security concerns in the area I have secured some armaments within my office.''

NOTE: The statement that Jensen's death occurred 110 hours (approximately 4.5 Earth days) after returning from his last expedition may be an error, as videos in the medical bay show that Jensen's dementia went as far back as 10/18/2145, and imply that it may have been going on for weeks.

''You left your lunch on my desk, again. I put it in the storage cabinet, number 112. The combination is 5-3-8. Try to remember to pick it up, last time you forgot it was in there for a week, and that stuff stunk to high heaven. What the hell you got in there? ;) ''

Volunteers ''Audio log for Phil Wilson, medical technician, Delta Labs, October 20th, 2145. Today I witnessed the 3rd test to the teleporter in three weeks that I've been here. Volunteers are becoming harder and harder to come by and heh, it isn't difficult to see why. They all come back screaming like loons about demons, pools of blood, real fire and brimstone stuff.''

''At first I wasn't paying much attention, just doing my job, but... the last was Robert Clayton. Now I met him my first day here. This guy chews up rocks and spits out gravel, he's tough as they come. Having to sedate him and drag his drooling body to the isolation room has really freaked me out.''

I'm going to put in for a transfer as soon as I'm able.

Soul Cube as a Weapon ''Uh, this is the audio log of research director Larry Bullman, October 19th, 2145. I've been examining the glyphs on the cube sharped artifact which some are calling the Soul Cube and combined with previous research data it is my conclusion the device is some sort of weapon. If the power fluctuations would stop long enough for me to get the linguistic CPU online then I am sure my theory would be verified.''

''You know, I'll take this opportunity to lodge yet another complaint about the continual power problems. Living in this god forsaken base is bad enough without having to watch the lights flicker constantly, it's just well, never mind, back to the task at hand.''

''What I've deciphered so far is a bit, I must say, disturbing. It seems that when one has possession of the artifact, if one inflicts damage or possibly kills another being, it extracts power from that event somehow and once a certain threshold has been reached, the artifact has the ability to kill anything you attack with it. How you attack with it I'm frankly not certain, indicating that the artifact is autonomous in some way.''

''To date I have only deciphered about um, two thirds, give or take of the markings but my initial glance at the rest of them indicates it harbors some far greater power. As you know, at this time we have not seen any reaction from the cube and it has withstood any scanning, abrasion or other test beyond picking it up and examining it. I suspect like the civilization that constructed it, its capabilities are diminished to the point of being useful only as a paperweight. End of log.''

It is a weapon! Date: 11-14-2145 From: Ian McCormick

Larry, ''You were correct, the Soul Cube is a weapon. I've translated the glyphs and now I understand how it works!''

''The Soul Cube must be charged before it can be used. The souls within it must sense at least five deaths before the spiritual potentiality matrix reaches positronic astriction. Based on our interpretation of the glyphs, the Cube has a way of acknowledging its readiness for action, but it's unclear how this happens. More importantly, we still don't know what will happen when it's released.''

''This has gone way beyond the purview of Mars station or even the UAC. We can't trust Betruger, he's gone mad! I'm preparing a report to send to the highest authorities on Earth.''

Good luck and God help us. Ian

Personal Audio Log ''This is the personal audio log of Dr. Frank Cerano, dated September 19th, 2145. I've been brainstorming on Betruger's thoughts about achieving sustained, uninterrupted transfers for the teleportation units.

''Currently our systems can only build enough of a charge to have the portals open for approximately 10 to 15 seconds. It's enough time to get a team through but not enough time to send in some of the heavier equipment.''

Engineering in the EnPro facility inform me that we can theoretically boost the active portal time to 45 seconds quite easily, but this will require rerouting power from Central Processing and we just can't afford the downtime.

''Power requirements for this system are astronomical. We're sucking power from three veins in EnPro just to power chamber 1. I have no idea how we can sustain transfers for longer than 60 seconds without giving serious thoughts of reorganizing the teleport power grid. I'll sleep on this.

''[Sigh] So here I am... first cup of coffee for the day. Five hours of sleep the night before, no shower and I have 20 dead bodies to fill out paperwork on. I haven't seen their actual corpses but word coming down from the grapevine says it looks like they have been hacked up pretty good. This has everyone on the base spooked. Betruger is nowhere to be found and there are a lot questions being asked and no answers from anyone.''

''Last I heard they are suiting up the next outfit with the new BFGs. Sounds like they aren't taking any chances on this next trip with them packing that kind of firepower.''

Missing BFG Guns ''This is the audio log of administrative assistant Han Lee, dated October 20th, 2145. Just when I thought this job couldn't get much worse, it did. Delta Science sent another group of researchers through the portal two days ago and they failed to return at their scheduled time. Radio transmissions to the research party have gone unanswered. Even our LZ tracking systems can't find them. We fear that they are dead.''

''Losing lives is one thing but losing our proprietary technologies is another. The team was equipped with the newest BFG weaponry. We fear those guns may have fallen into the hands of those that killed them. We don't know who or what is behind that portal, but until we find out where our guns are I'm suggesting we suspend operations through the portal. Thank you, end of log.''

''Primarily, we are looking to capture several more bio-specimens. Having already collected many of the smaller 'Imp' creatures, we would like to bring back one of the larger ones, described by others as a 'Hell-Knight'. Previous expeditions have reported seeing them at the Main Portal destination, where you will be arriving. You will have several weapons with you, but we ask that you attempt to use non-lethal force, we would really like to have a live specimen if possible.''

''We expect a complete appraisal of all research developments. Both current and future directions must be brought inline with the Board's expectations. We must be able to control Dr. Betruger. His extra-dimensional research is a potential risk to the teleportation experimentation, which we can not afford. The Board considers teleportation the UAC's single most important scientific endeavor and is not willing to jeopardize its dominance in this area of research.''

Anticipate a formal briefing and itinerary in the next few days.

I've become more and more worried about Dr. Betruger's research direction and my hope is that this intervention will bring much needed changes. I've also learned that I've been reassigned by Dr. Betruger to a post back on Earth. Although this is disappointing I do fear for my own safety and sanity if I were to stay here.''

''I hope your intervention won't be too late. I look forward to meeting with you back on Earth once your visit is concluded.''

''I received word of your discovery. Very impressive start, but I am not yet convinced. Do not lose sight of the bigger picture. We still have a lot of work to do before any of these findings will be ready for distribution or publication. Analysis must continue on the remaining artifacts.''

''Your audio reports in the future need to be more analytical and less emotional. It is important that we all maintain our professionalism and do not become biased or too attached to our work. I do not want to remind you of this again.''

Continue to forward me your findings, and I will help you manage the reports so as not to give Corporate the wrong impression.

Ruins safety concerns Date: 10-16-2145 From: Lowell Foshay

Hey Dick,

''The structural integrity of the Ruins is deteriorating. Our initial rock form and in-ground analyses prior to deep ground exploration inferred no immediate dangers. In fact, the Ruins structure itself was determined to be very sound.''

''As you already know, expansive underground digs of this nature are an engineering nightmare. The heightened pressure to open up the primary dig site was a dangerous oversight. Just recently, one of our engineers, Peter, got crushed by a falling brick - yup those huge stones lining the entire wall and ceiling of the Ruins!''

''Some of the guys are mumbling about the walls being alive or something, but you and I know it's just the horizontal stretching of the regional tectonic stresses. Heh, stones... alive... spoooooky. I think we all need a long vacation.''

Anyway, watch your step and don't forget to look up once in a while.

Foshinator out!

Tablets are key Date: 11-10-2145 From: Pierce Rogers

Richard,

''I thank you for your industrious support of the work being conducted here. I've been compiling your data along with mine and have made some startling new discoveries. I firmly believe your work with the tablets are the key to solving the mysterious relationship between the Soul Cube, the Ancients, and us.''

''I am sending word to the Executive Council for an immediate increase of our research budget. I have a strange feeling that we must find the answer soon or... no, I dare not say it just yet.''

I will contact you post-haste with any news regarding our funding.

The Soul Cube is the Answer ''This is the audio log of Dr. Pierce Rogers. I don't know if I'll make it off the base alive. I don't have much time, so I'll sum up what I have quickly and upload the rest of my finding into the databank. I hope someone finds them.

''It was all on the stone tablets, all the answers. I can't believe we never saw it. It was as plain as day. If we had only slowed down the development of the teleporters, and tried to really learn what the tablets were trying to tell us, trying to warn us.''

''The ancient people battled the same demons that are attacking us now. The demons came through the teleporters that they built, just like now. They created the Soul Cube and used it to stop the demons, to drive them back to Hell. I don't know how, but that must be the answer. That is why that artifact was left behind, left for someone to find if something like that ever happens again.''

''I can't reach Delta from here. I won't make it. I truly hope and pray someone finds the Soul Cube, and it helps.''

''Lord help us. End of log.''

Scanner Results Date: 10-17-2145 From: Richard Davis

Pierce,

''The scanner results for the ceiling carvings are back and I can say without a doubt that this is a map of our solar system. There's a very clear indication that Earth may have been a possible teleport destination for the survivors of this race. If the dates on these artifacts are correct there's a distinct possibility that we could be descendents of this race!''

''I can barely comprehend how immense this is. All the struggles we've had in the past year have suddenly become trivial.''

Welcome Message Date: 9-12-2146 From: Elizabeth McNeil

To all members of the Site 1 Expedition:

''I just wanted to take a moment to welcome you to this most important mission. All of you volunteered and I want to tell you how much I appreciate you doing so. It is difficult to be away from friends and family for so long and we all miss Earth's blue skies, green grass, and most of all, breathable fresh air.''

''However, the opportunity we have here is historic. I believe we are on the precipice of an archeological find of profound proportions that will forever change not only our view of Mars and the ancient civilization that once inhabited it, but also how we see ourselves in the cosmos.''

''Like all things worthwhile, this expedition will not be easy but we will do everything we can to make it as pleasant and safe as possible. Please adhere to all safety procedures that were presented in-flight and report any problems or issues immediately to your supervisors.''

Thank you for your attention.

''I was wondering how you'd feel about switching with me. I was thinking I'd rather work over in Erebus than here Phobos. It's creepy over here. I was in the Artifact Gallery last night and I could swear I saw something, then it was gone.''

You probably think I'm nuts but I don't care, I just don't like it here.

Cryptology Reports ''Ronn Jolson, artifact cryptologist, Phobos Labs. The team and I worked a double shift to recompile last week's data extractions. It went smoothly given that it's work we originally did last week when it was first due. Since Kurt got transferred, the new supervisor can't be bothered to find any of last week's reports. I guess it's less hassle to let us workers spend fourteen hours redoing it. And what do I care? At the end of my day I have a lousy bed, shitty food, and the company of sleep-deprived number crunchers to look forward to.''

Auxiliary Power Update TBA

Personal Update ''Uh, Chief Allen Rhodes November 15, 2145. The situation here in Sector One is bad. Shortly after getting the auxiliary grid synched with the main array, we experienced a huge power surge... and, uh, the, uh, the output readings are nominal which, uh, leads me to conclude that it's not the auxiliary core. It-it sounds like a problem with the main array. Regardless, I... started hearing screams and gunfire over one of the channels just before our communications went down.''

''Well, we have been trying desperately to get in touch with Meyers over in Exis to see what he knows. Several of my technicians have not reported back yet, and my senior technician described... described a bloodbath near a coolant transfer zone. Following that transmission his radio went dead and I've not heard from him since. A few other technicians reporting seeing strange... creatures appearing out of thin air... None of them have reported back yet.''

''The rest of my team and myself have barricaded ourselves in a control room here in Sector One, and we will continue trying to get communications working... but I don't know how much longer we can stay here. I'll update soon. Chief Rhodes signing off.''

Sr. Technician Anders, ''After recent events, it was decided to limit access to all storage cabinets to senior level staff. The access codes for the storage cabinets have also been reset. AT this point, the company is taking whatever steps are necessary to prevent another incident. Our hope is that these measures will be temporary.''

''A complete inventory of supply cabinet #108 has been recorded. The access code has been reset to 847 in accordance with the new regulations. We are leaving it up the senior staff to determine if any further incidents are severe enough to risk distribution of emergency supplies.''

Sgt. Adil,

''I've been made aware of your concerns regarding my upcoming visit. This trip is highly important to UAC management and I will need to review Exis Labs as part of my on-site itinerary. I understand there have been a number of incidents at Exis and part of my trip is to uncover the cause. Please do everything necessary to ensure adequate security. I have forwarded information to Mars-Sec executive staff to assist your armor and personnel needs.''

Also, let me assure you I have made additional precautions for my personal safety.

Sincerely, Elliot Swann UAC Executive Counsel

Additional Security Request From: Chase Higgins Date: 10-09-2145

Chief Adil, ''I'd like to see if we could have some extra security stationed around Engineering. The guys and I are seeing strange behavior around the Particle Exchanger, and it's really creeping us out. Yesterday, Morgan almost lost it and I had to spend 20 minutes calming him down. He swore he saw a huge bloody eyeball stare at him through the glass shielding. We checked the area afterwards and found nothing. The sooner you can send security up there the better.''

Is it a weapon or what? From: Steve Bryant Date: 10-18-2145

D, ''What's the deal with the tight security over there in Exis. I asked one of the technicians what was going on, and he wouldn't say. There's a number of people here who speculate it's some kind of massive weapon or teleporter. I figured you would know something, since you see all supplies enter the sector. Maybe you could sneak me inside one of the shipping creates so I could get in and take a look. :) Thanks'' Steve
