Mission report Day 1:

Sek-Vorn Starforged Ulk-10 The Ascendancy has assigned me to this moon they have named Outer-Krymir there is no oxygen and the surface appears to be crystalline. I have taken samples of the crystals and the moon rock, and found nothing impressive about this moon. Regardless I will do my Tarn for the Empire. The silence is all encompassing, you can feel as though something is reaching out attempting to connect, like the breath before a word. But all I see is the horizon of the dead moon, reconnaissance will continue with regularly intervalled status reports.

Mission report Day 11:

I have completed a full search of the moon's surface and found nothing capable of containing life, and yet, I strangely feel the vibration of grinding around me resonating until it almost becomes music. I have found no system of caverns that could be utilized by travelers for shelter, but my search continues. 

Mission report Day 21:

Life on this moon has become routine, I have noticed no change, the resonance has even begun to dissipate. I have constructed a shelter on the far side of the moon that will allow me to protect myself from the solar energy that the sun gives off. Likely how this moon became a crystal after being blasted by radiation for millions of years.

Mission report Day 31:

I have sent a signal to the core of the planet after managing to create a simplistic circuitry from the crystals on the moon and the tools I have here created a rudimentary sonar style device that will allow me to map the interior portion of the moon. It was odd, when I removed the crystals I needed to make my machine, I felt the ground beneath my feet shudder, maybe there is life here. Or maybe the world is just attuned finely to the universe. Regardless I will discover the value this world has.

Mission report Day 41:

The sense of paranoia is beginning to rise, I feel as though I can hear someone breathing behind me. Regardless, when I attempted my first activation of the sonar device the entire world began to shake. It was almost like a discordant feedback that began to grow and grow until my device could not take the strain and was destroyed. It is unfortunate that I cannot hear, because I feel as though this world would be humming, and if I can figure out the frequency then I could recalibrate my sonar.

Mission report Day 51:

I have attempted all known frequencies and resonances and can find no matching tone, I am attempting to create a new device that will allow me to get lower in the terrain then I can get a better reading. It feels as though something is reaching out from inside the world, not reaching out to me, but reaching out for a connection, and I am just caught in the middle, measuring the interaction between some massive entity and an unseeable force. 

Mission report Day 61:

There is something out here and it watches me as I do my work. I turn around about a hundred times a day, only to find nothing there, not even a shadow. What is it that watches me, what does it want with me, is it merely observing. If anyone is listening to these I am requesting a pickup and transfer to another world for reconnaissance. This world doesn’t feel malicious or angry, but curious, and I cannot deal with this pervasive feeling that I am being monitored

Mission report Day 71:

I have heard no response from the Ascendancy, I have recalibrated my sonar device to send a signal for communication not into the moon but out and away to any who might be monitoring communication in the void. The moon’s surface still continues to vibrate, they are becoming more and more frequent. What started as a once every week occurrence, is becoming a twice daily event. I am beginning to feel unnerved and will seek any means of escape that comes my way

Mission report Day 81:

I have found a seam that has formed on the surface of the moon. I do not know if my sonar device was responsible for the crack, but it has grown wider. I now believe that this moon is not simply a moon, but an egg for something more ancient that we do not understand. Requesting immediate assistance and retrieval from Outer Krymir.

Mission report Day 91:

I have felt the presence within the moon, it is not angry, but a child that was birthed millenia ago by ancient leviathans. These beings sing with the energy around us and call it the Strand. It has confirmed that it has no anger towards me being on its shell and is in fact grateful to me for awakening it. I believe that the Ascendancy may have a new asset that can be used.

Mission report Day 101:

The Leviathan has ancestral memories that are imprinted in its shell, each of these crystals contains a memory of what has occurred since its egg was left here, while also being nourishment for the growing leviathan within. It asked about the Elari. I explained the history of colonials about the forging on Solarii Magna, about the hunting of the luminar heretics, the leviathan has been silent since I explained. I find myself craving the conversation, but it is growing and I have no idea when it sleeps, or if it sleeps.

Mission report Day 111:

They have given themselves a name, I am unable to pronounce it. However, they allow me to call them Weaver. Weaver has asked me for my name, I gave them my designation Starforged Ulk-10 Sek-Varn. They asked what it meant. I explained the history of the Starforged, that we are clone grown humans biografted with temperature regulating horns and a specialized respiratory system. That we did not have rights for a name, just a designation. They began explaining the universe around me, how all things have a meaning, even those beings that were created from experimentation. Weaver would call me Thread. 

Mission report Day 121:

The surface of the moon is beginning to disappear as Weaver grows in size, soon they will outgrow the shell and I will be living on their back. Weaver has mentioned that he is alright with me living on his back, they will still need to stay close as the egg contains all their nourishment needed. Weaver has explained that the Ascendancy history that I know is not the whole truth, he explained what he has learned through his crystal history. About the chaotic history before the Strand, when the leviathans swam the currents and sang with its melody. About the emergence of the Twelve Elari, the stabilizing of the Strand, and their uplifting of different species across the galaxy. As well as the evolution of colonials when the Elari, unable to grow their population by simple means began trying to find ways to grow their society and culture, but the colonials specifically were unable to access the Strand. They have told me that is all they know and that more information will come with time.

Mission report Day 131:

I have begun a full measurement of Weaver, being about 100 Meters from their tip to their fan-like tail. Weaver has begun short range travel, doing small trips around the planet, but we always return to the nest. They have grown corridors to allow me to exist within them where they can protect me from the harmful radiation of the sun. I explore within and find that they are compatible with electronics, I could improve Weaver beyond a leviathan with Ascendancy technology. Weaver seems interested but he tells me that my devotion to the system that abandoned me is misplaced. 

Mission report Day 141:

The shell is almost gone and I have learned the true history of the Ascendancy. I have learned the lies that the empire is built on. Solarii Magna wasn't the site of the Elari Hypocrisy, it was the site where the Elari attempted in vain to make a more Strand sensitive colonial, while the colonials became more technology obsessed. Of the burning of the temple, the Sundering and destruction of the fabric of reality, but also the truth that it wasn't Elari who were responsible, it was the Ascendancy. I know no one is listening to these, but I no longer wish to be associated with the Ascendancy. The thread is being rewoven into reality.
