A Federation Nova Class vessel was caught in an ion storm and drifted to the edge of our space. One of Two, Experimental Unit of Unimatrix 01, has informed us that it requires a secondary function in order to make progress with the Particle 010 project. As such, we assigned One of Two to assist with the assimilation of the Federation vessel but it proved inefficient. It failed to comply with commands to assimilate individuals on the bridge and almost deactivated twice as a result of its inaction. It claims ‘ethics’ are the reason it cannot comply. It will adapt quickly or it will not survive. It did prove useful in disabling the vessel’s weapons and granting access to the computer system. It is now guarding the entrance to the bridge, which Nine of Ten has converted into an assimilation chamber.
In spite of the disturbance caused by One of Two’s individuality, assimilation of the vessel progressed efficiently. Probe 815 is leaving the system again in the direction of a signal in Unimatrix 08, Grid 321. This system once belonged to Species 262. We believed this species to be assimilated in its entirety 300 years ago but the signal is from an interplexing beacon. Species 262 possessed limited data about Particle 010 at the time they were first assimilated, so Probe 815 is returning to the planet to assimilate whatever may be left there on the chance some information about the particle remains.

Vieta was able to get into the cult, while Ronan and I stood guard outside. Everything seemed to be going well, that is until The Dark Keepers arrived. They stormed the building, searching for some forbidden technology the cultists used in their worship. No doubt the same forbidden technology we were looking for. I didn’t think Vieta would make it out in time, but she did. Using the distraction the Dark Keeper’s caused with their raid, she was able to sneak away. Ronan and I did the same. I saw a woman fleeing with a little girl, heading in the direction of the woods. I don’t know if they made it or not but the Dark Keepers captured a lot, if not all of the cultists and set the place on fire. They ordered the fire wardens to contain the fire, so that it didn’t spread to the rest of town, but to let the cult building burn. You can still smell the smoke even now that the building is ashes. The Dark Keepers have ordered the public execution of the cultists in the town square tomorrow. It sickens me that we have to attend. It sickens me that its happening at all but Vieta did make it back to the bunker with the other half of the strange device. We connected the pieces together and the device began to glow green. I don’t know what it means, but I prey my theory was correct and it is sending a message. To anyone out there who might get that message, please come quickly. We are growing more and more desperate with each passing day.
