ANALYZING…   FILE TYPE: UESC Tactical Records PERIOD: Present Day TOPIC: UESC Marathon Cryo Deck Exploration SUMMARY: Partial UESC Security Force report on initial UESC Marathon Cryo Deck exploration. =================================================================== uesc.op0121.tciv [secdef.tacrec_tciv009993421] ————————————————————————————————— PERSONNEL - OP COMM - COMM: Orion.0407c - SI: Cerberus FIELD OP - PRI: 0042; 0109; 0121 MISSION - CODENAME: Winter Walk - OBJECT: Zone mapping - TARGET ZONE: TCIV_M.CA - LOC: TCIV orbit - DIRECT001: Explore TCIV_M.CA - DIRECT002: Locate, link zone layout ————————————————————————————————— FIELD REPORT [0121]: Able to access and link zone map. Firsthand observation of layout underway but will take time. No signs of trespass, but caution required as Cryo Processing and Archival primary systems remain offline. Built-in security protocols and various mechanical and data-side corruptions make return to full functionality unlikely. Ancillary systems may provide surface-level access to zone data, but deep dive will require access to secure Cryo Archive region. Initial explorations limited by full lockdown of point-of-entry systems [read: doors were locked and fully uncooperative]. Workarounds implemented for basic POE accessibility but higher tier security at key areas remains intact. Currently tracking actions required for limited use security clearance—security monitors located throughout zone need only basic hackware to mimic requirements. Process isn't streamlined, but achievable with focus, noting we have free run at the moment. Difficulty will increase once trespass breaches jump scramble. NOTE: Unknown signal in systems and scramble pattern still evasive. Something is active in the deeper regions of this zone but currently impossible to identify if "active" is corrupt data due to damage and negative upkeep or if something is presently at work in this zone's core systems. Same unID'd static as jump scramble popping up big and small in various readings across TCIV_M.CA regions. Even when Sec clearance is achieved, our movements are restricted, as some areas require additional maintenance to access. Power and cooling systems are in various states of disrepair across regions. We haven't breached far enough to catalog the full security needs of the Archive itself, but it is likely to require breadcrumbing of connected subsystems to fully bypass its lockdown. As reported prior, one entire side of this deck has had some level of critical operations failure. Cryo leakage is extreme and readily evident in cryo residue and ice buildup throughout. Likely due to age but cannot discount damage inflicted due to invasive activity. Still too soon to assign a cause with any certainty. All current records of "contact event" suggest this zone was expressly secured, so any damage as a consequence of hostile systems manipulation is expected to be more "recent." Of course, "post-event" leaves a wide window of possibility, and some of what we've observed feels "new" to the point of concern. Again, no current signs of trespass, so "new" would present an as yet unknown variable. =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [ ]
