This evening, at 18:42, Singh discovered one of the Neuroclast subjects in Espionage HQ Sector B. E Watson was aprehended and remanded to the Memory Cradle for interrogation. You can read the incident report here.
Through use of the Fracture Garden, Novak discovered that Watson was a sleeper agent who activated once onboard Mnemosyne. To be clear, this was a targeted, remote triggered agent. Initial screening to bring her aboard did not raise any flags and it is my belief that this could not have been detected beforehand.
Arguably more importantly, Novak uncovered the following information:
We'll be launching an immediate investigation into this bunker. Schade, Finotti: you'll be handing off your Sighișoara assignment and deploying on this instead. Hache, Murphy, and Wijk: you'll be accompanying them. Your objective is to retrieve whatever is in that bunker.
Novak, Bhandari, Rojo: you'll be walking the other Neuroclast subjects through the Garden. I don't want any other surprises from them.
NOVAK, SINGH.

Arguably more importantly, Novak uncovered the following information:
• Two node locations: Vuelta Grande, Guatemala and Inhaca, Mozambique
• The names of three other sleeper agents
• The location of an Antarctic bunker. The bunker is believed to contain plans for something unknown that the Architects do not want us to get our hands on. Our disruption of Xitang has intensified their determination.

Good work.
Eli's managed to confirm intel provided by Bishop, so we're reasonably confident there are nine planes we can salvage from abandoned bases that are all within reasonable distances.
Fresh birds for the flock? I hear you ask. Yes! Except we're not entirely sure how fresh, which means I'm going to need pilots and engineers to fly out to assess and, with any luck, bring them back home. Additionally, I will need to borrow some of you lovely Espio or Ground Force types to take us out in those dreamy Blackbirds and to remain on standby as we scope out the jets.
Factsheets on plane specs will be distributed later today. Read them, learn them, memorise them.
Appreciate it's a tight schedule, but those aliens aren't waiting for it to be convenient for us. Don't all volunteer at once.

Thank you, Eva, for such a wonderful class! There seemed to be many people getting so close that I wondered if we would see anything scandalous, but it seems like everyone was boring on their best behavior. So, to continue lightening spirits, I thought we might play a game.
Fuck, Marry, Kill [...] Kiss, Date, Airlock.
I will list three people and you simply say if you would kiss them, date them, or toss them very dramatically from the airlock!
Let us start: Dr Verin, Captain Doss, and Monsieur Bishop.
I, of course, would kiss Dr Verin, date Captain Doss, and blow Monsieur Bishop a kiss as I push him from out the airlock.
NIKOLA.

- Eight 5-storey residential buildings in livable condition, balconies not included, will be able to house approximately 3,200 residents.
- Town amenities that can be used as intended or repurposed, including a medical clinic.
- The military bunker's crew quarters fit 300 additional residents and is a fully contained living space.
- Myriad tools. I'm sure I could say they'd be useful to us if I knew what most of them were.
- Two submarines in need of TLC.
- An x-ray machine which is in the process of relocating to the Mnemosyne.
- And so much more!
- Electricity will be available when the wind turbines are [...] tuned up.
- Acquisition of fuel for the submarines.
- Supply runs to emancipate abandoned items of which we could make use.
- Stocking the town with supplies for new residents.
- Ground agents from the nearby Bechevinka stronghold will be dispatched shortly to repair and clean all facilities.

Right, you heard the man.
We've got a little over three weeks before we have to take down an unknown envoy in new conditions.
So while Engineering are doing what they can to help outfit our birds, and the Captains are searching for ways to increase the fleet, we Pilots need to be working our arses off.
Squadron 1, while dear old Philip is occupied I'll be stepping in as drill sergeant. Two hours extra gym time for each session. A focus on Squats, Deadlifts, Planks, and general AGSM and HIIT training. New neck resistance training exercises to see us through High-G Turns. And the return of my beloved flashcards, each one containing a potential emergency situation to see if you know the best way to get out of it.
And if you're very good, we'll unwind with some darts for the sake of hand-eye coordination.
Squadrons 2, 3, and 4, I'm not the boss of you, but if you want to join us, the more the merrier. You haven't lived until you've trained until you're throwing up.
Non-Pilots... shoot, share any health and fitness techniques you swear by. Or share potential punishments we can inflict on whoever wimps out on training.

1. Mission Kamchatka has deployed. St James remains on board to coordinate.
2. We have brought aboard four volunteer for the Neuroclast project: two grounded Dislinked agents and two civilians. They are being given partial access to the Mnemosyne: mess hall and public areas only. If you see someone in an area they should not be, please alert your chain of command immediately.
3. Medani and Aldana will deploy to Sighişoara on Sunday and will be there throughout the planned SP. Our goal, as a reminder, is to reVeil as many civilians as possible. Ground forces will deploy two days before in order to begin quiet evacuation of those who cannot be reVeiled.
4. For those who weren't able to be present at the meeting held by McLeod on Monday, the key takeaways are:• The current flight of planes can be modified. Keane and Hyun have already begun compiling the necessary parts from Jacobs, Koskinen, Maverick, and Wijk. The liklihood of sourcing in time is low, but I will defer to Keane as that is her area of expertise.
• de Vries, McLeod, and Thomas will begin searching the ground for any additional planes. I'll provide them with intel I have accrued on active and inactive bases.
• According to Hwang's calculations, the Architects' envoy should hit Earth airspace in the early morning of March 13th.
5. [...] We will be bringing additional agents aboard in the next week. As with any former undercover agent, their previous mission is classified until we can be sure all loose ends are tied up.
If you have questions, put them here.

I am informing you that Agent Alba Gutiérrez Vega has been compromised. I will be deploying an agent to escort her to a stronghold and then she will be brought onboard.
ST JAMES, BONE, SINCLAIR, DAWSON, NOVAK - SEPARATELY.
I am informing you that [Reid, Flores Romero, Lynfield, Aldana Gutiérrez, Aldana] has a family member that is an Undercover agent whose identity has been compromised. The agent will be escorted to a stronghold before coming aboard. I will inform [Reid, Flores Romero, Lynfield, Aldana Gutiérrez, Aldana] upon return, but it might be shock, so I'm asking you to ensure they remain centered.
OOC: Jax gets Jamie's name, Maryle gets Dom's name, Nishad gets Sloane's name, Cal gets Eva's name, and Niko gets Adri's name
LIM, MCLEOD, BATTEAUX, SINCLAIR.
I'll deploying you to retrieve compromised Undercover agents. Lim, you'll be retrieving Agent Lynfield; McLeod, Agent Gutiérrez Vega; Batteaux, Agent Reid; Sinclair, Agent Flores Romero. Details will be provided when you are formally deployed. This is a stealth mission and considered classified. They will all pretend to be under the Veil until you provide their specific code word, which is in the documents you will receive.

Tuesday, February 17th, 2026 04:13 pmWhile I know there are many more pressing matters at hand, there's been a distinct problem I've noticed onboard in the most recent karaoke nights. I won’t name names, but I have noticed a lack of rhythm that can be rectified with a little practice. Luckily, I am here to help, and there is no singing required.
This Friday, I'll be hosting a group salsa class in the community room. You don't need to have danced before; all prior skills you need are the ability to count to eight and how to stand up straight.
All are welcome, though anyone who is judgmental towards others just learning will be asked to leave. I don't have patience for that, and it's supposed to be fun.
See you Friday at seven. Wear comfortable shoes.

Right.
Thanks to Jiah and Mav, we now have signals of the blowback Verin cautioned us against. Can’t say for sure they’re connected, but sure as shit feels like it.
While others work on the Harvest situation, I’m setting up a joint meeting in E1 at 17:00 tonight with Battlest, Information, Engineering and Tech to address three main issues:
Because this impacts us all, Heads of these areas are required but all are free to attend, sokeep stupid questions or ideas to yourself come prepared.

While others work on the Harvest situation, I’m setting up a joint meeting in E1 at 17:00 tonight with Battlest, Information, Engineering and Tech to address three main issues:
- How we’re going to reliably track the approaching vessels at range and altitude, including getting useful data about their makeup so we can get ahead of how to take the fuckers out of the sky.
- Whether our current aircraft and tech can reach and operate high enough to intercept — and if not, what Engineering needs to modify to get them there and the time to get there.
- If item two is impossible and too risky with the timeline and size of our fleet, where and how do we meet them.
Because this impacts us all, Heads of these areas are required but all are free to attend, so

Sorry about last night.
Heard someone broke the last egg, but I made some flax eggs if anyone wants the protein or wants to bake.

Can I talk to you about something? It's [.....] not unrelated to what apparently happened last night.TEAM KAMCHATKA.
T-minus 48 hours. Make sure you've got stuff packed for an overnight, and remember to dress up: Russia's cold in February, thought it shouldn't be too bad on the coast.
Can y'all take inventory of everything you find on site? Lynfield and Weber, you take point on viable medical equipment and supplies. I'll see you in the C1 hangar at 8am, UTC+12 local time.

mayday mayday mayday!!!
two things: the first being that i recently picked up another encoded message, and after a few grueling hours of poring over the code, as well as some big time help from mav the mvp, we figured out that the architects are preparing to harvest from the implanted. what that means exactly, we don't know. but it doesn't sound good, does it?
second: while picking up the message i also noticed something quite large approaching earth. thanks again to mav, seriously, you're the best. we discovered that the mothership is going to be gracing us with its presence soon, as in about two months until it enters earth's airspace soon. yikes.
but wait, i lied, there's more. there are also six small ships preceding the mothership, and they seem to be set to enter earth's airspace by next month.
that's all the bad news i have for you today. other than the most comfiest couch in science has a suspicious stain on it, i've gone through my hoard of energy drinks and sweets while trying to decode this message, and i haven't slept in like thirty-six hours. does anyone have an animal i can cuddle?
