It really looked like fun, but constantly having to relog after a Mauve Adder every few seconds in the system, not so much. Oh well, maybe there will be some cool videos on this one. Maybe next year I'll have better luck with the servers.

Nope, some of the messages - such as the one with the fleet exercise record/transcript - straight up just don’t have any (recognizable) vocal patterns to them. Or no spoken words, just a lot of terrified screaming and some odd human wailing/crying/moaning(not in that sense, get your mind out of the dirt) sounds.

Or, at least, they are distorted to the point where it is almost impossible to discern any words from it with just your ears.

Funnily enough, the fleet exercise log was one of the few where I actually could hear something, even recognizable bits.
But others were almost inaudible to me - just some very faint white noise.
I guess I'll jump into my ship later and listen to the logs once more...
Though I sometimes wish the audio player would show me how long the log actually is and where I currently am in it while listening.

Oh, besides... My mind doesn't like to spend time in any dirt or gutter. It prefers to reside in the trees' crowns.

I am guessing Frontier have no easy way to clear an otherwise functional station, or make the NPCs in there go crazy? Obviously the tools for turning off docking are there, like at attacked ports; did anyone ever look through the windows of an outpost under Goid attack? Do the NPCs just chill out there too?

I took screenshots of the messages so we can analyze them outside of the game.
Here is the message received when connected to the game:
Here are the messages collected in the Shamash system:

I recorded the audio files, crudely, have tried to start them all from the push button sound so they're roughly in sync. Unfortunately always ambient noise going on in Elite so that's in there too:

Ugh, that noise...
Mukandi, are you online? There's interference on the

Can barely hear myself think.

Repeat.

Here we go. Confirmed, Squadron 38. Confirmed,

Think we're back.

Okay. Let's get on with it. Mukandi, find out where that

They're killing everyone!

I was fixing .a console error on the express lift when I
heard the first scream from the other side of the corridor
Turned around to see Captain Veliz pounding a man's
head in with a wrench. The rest of the command crew
were right behind her. Some were fighting each other,
others were charging at people on the desk. Two security
guards on duty tried to stop them but it was too crazy.
They were overwhelmed.

All I could do was hit the call button. The lift took forever,
and I had to duck when someone fired at me. I think it
was Lieutenant Quails. The look on his face, it was like he
wanted to tear me to pieces. I thought he was going to
reach me by the time the express lift door opened. They
shut just as he reached me. Heard him banging on the
doors as the lift started moving.

I'm still shaking...

If security can't contain it then I'll have to get ona ship.
Fred owes mea favour. I'll call him.

It's just me and Alejandro now.

There was so much chaos out there in the corridors.
Something kept playing on the tannoy, some kind of
recording. It was so distorted, hurt my ears. There were -
are - bodies strewn across the floor. So much blood.

I grabbed Alejandro and took him with me. He had a black
eye, something must have hit him quite hard.
Unconscious but breathing. I took him to my quarters and
locked the doot. When I called for help the noise from the
tannoy was on the other end of the comms link. Suppose
its broken. Can't shut it off.

There's noise outside. I want to see who it is but i have to
keep Alejandro away from them. They'Il kill him if they
find him. I know they will. Just like they killed the others.

But I'm scared that Alejandro will wake up and try to
escape. Head injuries can be bothersome, they make
people confused. If he panics and runs into the corridor
they'll snatch him up. I have to keep him here. I have to
keep Alejandro safe.

I don't want them to get him.

It's important that he doesn't wake up.

-Permission to dock, Garrett Orbital
-Sorry, pilot. All access has been suspended.
-Why? I haven't done anything.
-All Ships who were part of the Grey Swan military
exercise have been ordered to hold position until further
notice.
-Who gave the order?

-Don't go silent on me, who gave the order? I haven't done
anything.

-C'mon, just let me land. | have work to do.
-Stay in the air until further notice, Pilot.
-This is Jack I'm talking to, right? We met a few weeks ago
at the cadet induction. You paint watercolours in your
spare time.
-
-Yeah, I recognise that accent. Hi, Jack. You know I'm not a
problem. If you let me land I can help. I'm keen to make
myself useful.
-Stay in the air, pilot.
-Jack, I need to get back to the others. It's important.
-
-If you don't let me land I'm going to hold you responsible
for what-happens next.
-
-I'm not kidding arround.

you, Jack. I'm going to find you and rip your STUPID

There's Something odd about the signal. it Seems to bury
itself in the comms network, generating its own feedback
loop to maintain broadcast. I can turn off my headset and
speakers, but the signal is gonna be the first thing anyone
hears when connecting to most channels. Even making a
direct call to someone else on this station risks exposure.

I don't know what the signal does to people. All I know is
that there's a direct correlation between hearing it and the
recent wave of murders that have taken place. First it was
the command deck, then the comms operations. It was
played in the canteen, on the station broadcast network...

Given the time since Mukandi's initial report and the first
attacks, I think I have twenty minutes left until I start to
lose my mind. Probably less.

I've locked the door to my office and changed the
passcode. Just mashed keys when resetting so I don't
know the code. No idea if it'll keep me in here. Just trying
to prevent myself from doing something I would have
regretted.

Baxter had me cornered in one of the locker rooms. The
showers were on and | was trying to lose him in the
steam. Crazy  had a shard of glass in his hand. No
hilt or anything, just holding the thing in a bloody grip.
The look in his eyes was wild, man. I've never seen
anything like it.

I thought that was it. Then just as Baxter lunged at me
someone shot him. He landed ina heap at my feet.

What I saw next is going to sound silly, but I swear it's the
truth. Through the steam, past the spraying water, beyond
the blood swirling around the drains: I saw a skull Staring
right at me. Hooded, armoured, but a Skull. It didn't say a
word.

Then a Scream came from outside, and the skulled face
left. More gunshots. When I was able to stand and get
outside I found two more survivors. The skull had saved
them too.

I don't know who they are, but I hope they make it out
alive.
