Zero jump signal feasibility in Archive 07 proper. Main access locked down. Efforts to piece together security breach via subsystem cross hack unsuccessful. Timetable moved up due to increased threat of trespass. CRBRS ran outcomes, suggested push. Too many unknowns to disagree. Intel is vital, and we're at a stalemate. S01 had us locked out and local systems were unhelpful. CRBRS located breach point—no hack, force breach. Strat felt good. Nothing was assured but felt optimistic. Two ARS squads pushed front to draw attention. I lead the rest to breach point. We brought enough firepower and enough bodies to throw at the problem. High confidence. Bad math. Breach turned negative almost immediately. S01 is impressive. Terrifying, but impressive. ARS were useless. S01 focused on us—myself, 0042, 0109, 0121. We'd all done observational runs to get a read on the target. It had done the same. Watched us while we watched it. There is a strategic flaw in underestimating something considered "other." We knew it was an advanced species. We knew it was beyond us. But we have experience and the expanse of human history on our side. We know war. Our weapons and tactics are field-tested. None of it mattered. We lasted all of three minutes. Two forced ejects before I called it and 0109 and I pulled out. It followed. We didn't make it. 0109 grabbed something from inside, but we lost it in S01 final push. Had to eject. Left it all behind. In desperation, I flooded the Archive with ARS. Lost more than we could probably afford—reprints aren't cheap in time and resources, and trespass isn't letting up. Will keep pushing. Need more firsthand contact with S01 to fully understand what we're up against. I know this feels bad. Morale took a hit. We'll take it out on trespass—up the aggression again, double our security presence in TCIV_M.CA for when they show up. Boost the local lockdown protocols to keep trespass out of the Marathon's systems where we can. No one said this operation would be easy. We're at the forefront of a new kind of war. And we're the last defense against the mercenaries and the unknown. The UESC is counting on us. Earth and Mars and all of Sol are counting on us. We cannot fail. We will not fail. =================================================================== TYPE: TEXT [X]; AUDIO [ ]
