Yesterday, Salvation contacted a number of Commanders to ask them to haul "medicine" from his megaship in the Pegasi Sector in to the Cornsar system, which recently came under attack by Thargoids. He claims these medicines are actually components of some unspecified weapon, most likely related to that found at the Guardian battleground that he secured access to.
It's a shame that we have to do this, because I do have faith in Salvation. The alternative, Aegis, is no alternative at all, a sham of an organisation built first and foremost to protect the interests of those in power. But that doesn't mean we have to blindly support Salvation in all that he does, either. He cannot be allowed to repeat the mistakes of INRA in the name of avoiding the mistakes of Aegis.
If Salvation's weapon is based on that Guardian weapon, it may pose a huge risk to the people living there. Perhaps he sees this as a necessary sacrifice, just like all the lives sacrificed by Aegis. But it's not. The Thargoids are targetting Cornsar because of the Guardian wreckage, which likely resulted from Aegis's failed attempt to trigger a Thargoid attack in Sol, the Alexandria. It would not have happened if not for Aegis, like so many other of the attacks.
Treat the cause, not the symptom. Radiation is a dangerous cure, and this war will go on forever if all we do is keep escalating it. Right now the Thargoids are holding back. They disable stations, not destroy, minimizing casualties. Taking back what we steal from them. Aegis want to keep pushing them, and Salvation appears to think that's our only option too. Prove them wrong.
Maybe the weapon is totally safe. Salvation doesn't see fit to burden us with the details, however. Maybe, sinceFrontierSalvation hasn't specified how much of this medicine is needed, he can just declare victory anyway. But in that case, we have nothing to lose and all to gain.
Aegis's masters think they can hide the truth, arrogant in their ability to shepherd us, no matter how many die thanks to their lies. We are all necessary sacrifices to their power.
Salvation has uncovered some of it, but not all. We owe it to him to not let him make this mistake.
Destroy it all.
Total destroyed as of now: 1.2 million*
*give or take. There appear to be bugs with syncing supply between Horizons and Odyssey, but the servers are starting to catch up now, maybe. Our apologies to the hamsters.
Yesterday, I and a number of other Commanders began destroying this "medicine". All of the initial supply was destroyed. Only dregs remain, whatever Salvation can rush to produce and resupply. We're asking that you don't scavenge for them. Destroy whatever he gives you.A few hours ago, I was woken up by this intense blue flash - it seemed to come from everywhere. I thought we were under attack. Then Farrell came stumbling out of her lab, her clothes and body burned black, and dropped dead.
The others started collapsing within the hour. I think there was some kind of radiation surge from the crystal we stole. I tried to get the ship's drive online again, but... too weak. Can hardly stand now. Pain in every muscle, vision is blurred. My skin is... like everyone else's.
Please...don't find us...
