Initial readings suggested calm entry but second layer revealed: - severe lateral wind shear - costant dense fog reducing visibility to near zero - unpredictable drift (estimated displacement: >1250 km) We lost control before correction was possible. Impact was violent. Emergency dampers failed. I regained cosciousness inside the wreckage... alone. Every other member: confirmed KIA. I've stabilized the hull as best as possible, but the ship will never fly again. Energy reserves are minimal; rationing protocols engaged. Current plan: alternate between cryosleep and waking cycles. Supplies estimated for 32 active days, stretched further if I minimize wake-time. Enviroment outside: - Surface is icebound, no solid landmarks visible through fog. - Winds cut visibility to <10 m. - Sound carrires strangely; echoes make distance unreliable. I will attempt shor-range exploration during wake cycles, marking routes back with beacon tags. PLEASE CONFIRM RECEIPT. If there's a chance of rescue, I need coordinates for signal beacon calibration. Otherwise... I'll keep trasmitting until systems faili. --- /* [PERSONAL LOG ADDENDUM] */ --- I shoould have died with the others. But I didn't. The silence here is heavier than the ice. --- /* [FOOTER] */ --- [TX END] [QEC LINK STATUS: UNSTABLE // RE-SYNC ATTEMPT SCHEDULED IN 72H] [LOCAL COMPUTER TIME: 08:47:59] [NEXT WAKE CYCLE: TBD] --- > END TRASMISSION --- Cryonus 1 - Ship Log: 1002 >> Cryonus 1 - CRYONUS 1 - SOS_001 All rights reserved.
