Alpha Base destroyed by hostile forces; Base personnel suffered 76 losses, and standing forces have been taken down to 6 able bodied marines, 4 wounded severely names and profiles attached within; With no reinforcements capable with out a long distance radio, we will be headed in search of the mysterious forces from earlier; Report when there is more data;
Journal Entry : Date 5:5:3054
More corpses of mysterious alien life for found in the jungle 3 clicks from former Alpha base; All targets seem to suffer wounds from explosives and projectile weapons; This would normally suggest inferior technology; However, if the survived better than we did, then who knows?; Camp here for the night, return to search at 0800 hours;
Journal Entry : Date 5:6:3054
PFC O' Brian went on a scouting mission early this morning; No transmission has returned since he left at 0830; We are now submitting a distress signal on all open channels; Hopefully, this wont attract the aliens we were attacked by;
Journal Entry : Date 5:6:3054
Transmissions received from PFC O' Brian; He reports that he has found something of interest; All units are advancing to his position;
Journal Entry : Date 5:6:3054
PFC O' Brian's discovery is remarkable; Object is a large diamond shaped crystal, equipped with a ring shaped device allowing it to hover above the ground; Target is also emitting a high levels of radiation, but of a safe type; the crystal's alloy is unknown, as are the materials that make up the hover device; There is also evidence of a fire-fight, as there are bullet holes and scorch marks in many of the trees nearby; However, all bodies appear to have been dragged away recently; Due to the risk of staying near the object, we will be camping on a ridge with in sight of it, but also just out of range of accurate fire; PFC Scott will be put on guard duty over the object;
Journal Entry : Date 5:7:3054
PFC Scott has disappeared; We arrived at the structure to find him gone, with no evidence of a struggle; We can only pray for his safety, but there isn't much hope of finding him, if the aliens got him; RTO Hadley has informed me that there is a beacon detected on the radio on an unencrypted channel; We are attempting to locate the source of the signal;
Journal Entry : Date 5:7:3054
Signal Source located; After confirming no units in the area, we found what appeared to be a GFMC emergency beacon; Also, we found PFC Scott's helmet; There is blood around the area, but far too much to just be one man; Perhaps he found help, and was attempting to contact us?; The blood leads toward the edge of the jungle; We will follow it in the morning;
Journal Entry : Date 5:8:3054
We have trailed the blood to the edge of the jungle; It appears to open up on to an open plain, which is scarce of vegetation, except grass; But there is hope!; PFC O' Brian has located what appears to be a structure of some kind in the distance, on the far side of the plains; We are headed there now;
Journal Entry : Date 5:8:3054
GFMC Alpha group captured by mysterious forces on May 8th, 3054; Lucky for us, they didn't take any of our equipment, save our weapons; Once we entered the complex, we were ambushed; However, they appear to be trying to determine whether we belong to a group called "The Confederacy"; We found Scott, also taken prisoner; Apparently the forced him to activate his distress beacon to lure us in, but then the aliens attacked them both, forcing them to withdraw; That was the trail of blood we followed to their base; I hope to begin negotiations with their leader regarding a peace treaty as soon as possible; The guard is looking at my journal recorder; Shutting down;
Journal Entry : Date 5:9:3054
Negotiations have terminated; Things look good; After confirming that we are not part of this so called "Confederacy", we were met by a man named General Raynor; Apparently, he is one of the 3 leaders of their group, known as the Koprulu Survivors Armada, or KSA; They are human, and although its seems incredulous, they appear to have originated from our long lost home world of Earth, thought to have been destroyed many long ages ago; There appear to be a number of Earth native troops here, once part of a battle group that was sent to this sector of space (known by them as the Koprulu Sector) to destroy and then claim the alien life form that attacked Alpha base; This alien creature has been identified as Zerg by the locals, who also identify themselves as Terrans, pertaining to the word Terra, meaning earth; If things go well, we may be able to establish a treaty with this group, and find out more about this "Zerg"; Also, unconfirmed reports of a third alien race, known as the Protoss, who appear to be allied with the Terrans here at a separate base camp; Perhaps the large gemstone we saw earlier has something to do with them?; Sign off;
