2214 June 16th Micheal Altman's Log
Text Log
EarthGov has quarantined the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico. It's so odd. One moment a team of miners are excavating the area and searching for resources, and in the next they lock down the area, and the miner's families start complaining about disappearances. I've never trusted our government...and by this time tomorrow a connection of mine will get me into the area. I'm not sure what this is, but I don't exactly think it's roses and daises. I've got to go, someone's at my door.

There are the sounds of a door slamming shut, and then several locks being clicked into place. "...What I have discovered...I don't even..." There is the sound of someone walking away before the footsteps return, and Altman continues. "If what I have seen is real...then EarthGov is truly stupid. I don't know how it happened, but I know I have to figure it out. I...just...I saw dead bodies come to life. The miner's colony...was overrun. On one side, there was EarthGov, set up in a small camp. On the other side...they had control. I don't know what to call them...but there were these...these bats. They attacked corpses, and then after they finished the corpses reanimated, with huge blades as arms. I do-" There is the sound of repeated loud pounding, like someone pounding on a door.
"OPEN THE DOOR ALTMAN!" The audio tape comes to an end with the sound of footsteps running, and then of the door being broken in.

I now know what causes it, even though I don't understand how. An alien artifact that EarthGov calls The Marker. I've been examining it for months now...and...and it speaks to me. Make us whole it says. Turn it off it says. I don't know what these mean...but I know I have to figure out how this thing works. I have nothing else to do...and EarthGov is now hunting me.

I've found it! It's a code. It travels through these creatures- which I'm now calling necromorphs -and controls them. I don't know where it originates from, but I do know that it affects humans to. That's how it speaks to us...I have a hunch, but before I can be sure I'll need to find someone who fits. Who has the correct pattern.

"I know where the signal originates from. It...it originates from moons. Not from our moon, but from other moons. I...FUCK OFF!" There's the sound of a chair falling backwards, and then several unidentifiable sounds before Altman returns. "They...they...they speak to me. Tell me...tell me to do things. They...they want...want me to release the information to the public...I hav...have to! But if I do what they want...will it...will it be counterproductive?" There is the sound of footsteps walking back and forth before Altman speaks once more. "I will release it...but only after I've gotten a way to fight it." The tape clicks with a static background before it ends.

I told the public only some of what I know. I did not mention the Brethren Moons. It's better that way. I have a plan now though. If worse comes to worse...we as a race will have a chance to survive. With the knowledge I've gathered I now know that if the marker is separated from it's receiver, the moons can't affect it. Theoretically, one could code and create their own marker, programmed for it's own specific use. I have...I have created one. Hopefully it will never be needed, but if it is, I will create instructions to use it. To save us a race...asdhjfena...damnit. They...they're in my head again...Make us whole. MAKE US WHOLE! TURN IT OFF!

Altman is dead. It doesn't make any sense really. He evades us for so long, with us tracking behind him, and then all of a sudden he chances directions, right to us. I don't believe this is over, but the ones in charge have told us that this over. We have bigger problems, apparently some people have taken the information Altman released and turned it into a god damned religion. Altman be Praised. Bullshit. We're never going to hear the end of this.
