trying out the sniper rifle.
After exploring my abilities it is high time to find out about the opposition I have to face, what is it that I have to prepare for?
Marple applauds my performance, while I seek out a comfy place to continue my investigation.
Before watching the recordings I read the last available report.
Maintenance report on the 23 of March in the year 4612, Bernhard Nwosu:
The trouble with the canalization is shaping up to a dramatic scale.
Sadly there have been some miscalculations about the abilities of the permanent active staff, expressly in regards to maintaining the systems throughout such a long-term duration. Within the enclosed attachment are contained my suggested improvements for the next generation space ship our descendants might want to construct in the future. In particular the ship systems need to become even more self-sustaining and less dependent from human maintenance.
The societies which formed themselves aboard in the course of time are quite fascinating, but are very variously developed in regards to their ability to maintain the systems.
Nonetheless all systems are functional and I am very confident about the ship reaching the destination.
Additionally attached is a list of spare parts the next awakened technician should bring along.
Neither the improvement suggestions, which sound very reasonable, nor in the spare parts list I can find any explanation about the escalated situation.
At the time of the report everything seemed to be working well.
The functioning water supply indicates that the problems that have been mentioned could be resolved.
Very well, maybe the camera recordings are able to deliver the answers that keep eluding me.
The first recording from 100 years ago proves to be quite unhelpful, a young man, which obviously had been put into cryostasis directly after finishing his degree, looks around nervously while leaving the exit.
Nothing is happening at first and apparently he does not see anything unusual.
Suddenly he gets startled and is looking towards a close by grove at the left.
Someone is hailing, a very low sound of a female voice is audible.
At least I believe its female.
He gathers himself and keeps his pistol primed, while carefully moving towards the grove.
Shortly before he arrives a very loud racket arises, it could very well be caterwauling from many throats.
Something hits the young lad and he crumples to the ground, from the right side a large horde of attackers closes in, then the defensive turrets activate.
The following bloodbath is as cruel as pointless and I wonder what lunacy has befallen the humans aboard.
In the second recording a man in his prime is leaving the exit area with an authoritative stride.
Sure-footed he scrutinizes his surroundings. Marple mentions that he refused to watch the recording of the previous attack. Something catches his attention and he raises a rifle and takes aim.
After witnessing the unfolding events I am torn which recording is more gruesome.
After only a very short pause he shoots and continues to do so, while moving away from the exit.
The grove I saw earlier is gone by now.
In the distance I can sometimes see persons, which fall one by one - I am unable to comprehend this man, either fright drove him crazy or he is completely without any scruples.
Without asking any questions he just mows down every human shape which is visible.
I almost feel relieved when finally an arrow pierces him.
When some of the people try to get to the fallen technician the turrets prevent them from coming close to him.
The next recording shows a young woman, probably also fresh from the academy, which is not acting as brutal. She is kneeling rifle at the ready.
When someone hails from the distance she yells back “Do you come in peace?” the reply seems to satisfy her, as she is lowering her rifle and moves away from the exit. A group of uniformed soldiers is coming closer someone
