This is my second report on the Krork settlement. After I completed my mission and destroyed the 'cult of the rising child', I returned to the planet, eager to find out more of this ancient race. Some of my previous words may have been over harsh, as I have found out a lot more about these creatures.

It appears their cave network spreads throughout the northern hemisphere of the planet. Using the augers on my ship, I tracked many thousands of stasis pods. I concluded that these must be the same as the ones I say on my last visit. I did, however, only detect 1 moving creature. The caretaker, as I like to call it, seems to be the only one of its kind. I tracked it moving around the pods, stopping at each one. What it was doing, I could not tell, for I did not wish to go back to the planet to find out.

As I moved around the planet, scanning the chambers, I came across what appeared to be some form of massive data storage device. I decided at that moment that this was a treasure too important to be wasted. I used my ships banks to create a downlink and uploaded the entire data banks. It was amazing, millions of terraquads of data; my ship holds barely big enough to hold it all. As soon as I had terminated my uplink, a beam of energy came up from the planet, striking the side of my ship.

From later examination of the augers, it appeared to be some form of repulsion beam. It managed to damage my engines slightly, but I manoeuvred out of its firing distance, only to be ambushed by a Chaos ship, the 'Night Stalker'. I made a tactful retreat back to the Krork planet, where they proceeded to destroy the 'Night Stalker' in 1 massive burst. I have a feeling that their shot at me was just a warning, but they were serious with the Chaos ship. My ship, however, had been badly damaged in the confrontation. I was forced to land on the planet.

As my ship fell through the atmosphere, I targeted to land at the edge of the Krork settlement. I felt that if I could learn more from this place, it would have to be in person. As I fell, I felt my ship become trapped in something. My ships slowed until it touched down on a form of landing pad. Evidently I had stumbled upon an automated landing procedure, built and still working after many millennia. I look out of the windows of my cockpit, and saw something strange. There was a slight glimmer to the side of my ship, where I had been hit. A few seconds later, the caretaker arrived and silently began repairs on my ship. I went out and tried to communicate with it, but it would not respond. I let it finish while I looked around, but not before I locked down my systems. I walked around the cavern for over an hour, reaching no exterior walls. There were millions of them, millions of Warriors waiting to be released. Some had different weapons to others, some had no weapons. I believe they had some form of military structure, possibly with the use of psychic beings. I also stumbled across a large hanger bay with strange ships in that looked particularly deadly.

As I left this area, doors suddenly shut all around me, trapped, I moved around, looking for a way out. There was none. At that moment, I noticed a strange smell. I then fell unconscious.

The next thing I knew, I was aboard my ship in orbit of the planet. I didn't appear to have been experimented on or harmed in any way, although I cannot be sure until I get to a medical facility.

I am now travelling to the nearby planet of Freedom V, there is a small medical research facility where I can get proper treatment.
