INTERCEPTED COMMUNICATIONS

LOG-01 // DR. ELARA T-MINUS 04:00

"The subspace anomaly is expanding faster than projected. We need to detach the core and leave immediately. I was compiling data in the Observatory all shift, but nobody is listening to me."

LOG-02 // CMDR. VANCE T-MINUS 03:30

"Jax is acting suspicious again. I spent my entire shift auditing the Armory inventory. Everything is accounted for, but I don't trust him. I'm locking down non-essential sectors."

LOG-03 // TECH JAX T-MINUS 02:15

"Someone is messing with the ventilation shafts. While doing routine maintenance in the Reactor Room, I found a discarded Biometric Spoofer module hidden in a grate."
