>>>>>[Hey folks, I'm baaaaack. Under threats of pain, death and
suffering - in that order - I can only tell you somebody got ahold of
me a couple hours back and gave me these files. They contain
transcripts of the transmissions from a penetration team to a base
team outside the cave near Plantina. Now, my source says he has
recordings of the original and he says he run in through a voice
stress analyzer. The stress level of the recordings points to
authenticity - at least, the speakers believed what they were saying.

+++++ TRANSCRIPT

1] "We are now entering the main chamber. High background count.
The astral is very active here."

Base] "Cause?"

1] "Unknown. No obvious signs of pollution. No ritual remains. No
symbols on the walls."

2] "Quick! Come here. Look at these!"

1] "What is it?"

Base] "What? What do you see?!"

4] "I don't know. I do not recognize it, immediately. Humanoid,
greater than to meters in length - definately not a troll. Dzoo-noo-
qua, possibly. Whatever it is, it's dead. Explosive trauma I would
say."

?] <garbled>

1] "Get back. It's alive!"

?] <garbled>

?] "Get it off! Get it away!!!!"

?] <unintelligible screams>

3] "It's burning! What happened?"

4] "Look there's another one. It's burning, too!"

2] "That's something different! Look at it!"

?] <garbled>

1] "Get out, now!"

Base] "What's happening!?"

1] "We're being attack-" <screams>

?] <growling>

Base] "What!? What is attacking!"

1] "It's an astral entity. It's some kind of-" <screams>

5] "That way!"

6] "We came from the other direction! That way is deeper in!"

5] "We aren't getting out _that_ way!"

?] <screams>

4] "What was that!?"

Base] "What's happening?"

3] "It's got me! It's in me!" <screams>

?] <garbled>

4] "Get off me! SOMEBODY GET HIM OFF -"

?] <garbled>

?] <heavy breathing>

5] "LOOKIT THIS!"

6] "It's a hive. Get out."

7] "This is the hive of no Invae I have ever seen."

6] "Then what is it?"

7] "I- I do not know."

6] "It's opening. GET BACK!" <screams>

7] "It has him! Kill it! Kill it!"

5] "I can't get the <garbled> without killing him!"

6?] <screams>

7] "I told you to kill it!!!!" <screams> "Another one's got
me!!!"
<screams>

5?] <screams>

2?] "Noooo! Don't touch the door! Don't touch the door! GET BACK!"
<screams>

Base] "What happened?"

Base] "Anyone! Report."

Base] "All Ghosts, report in!"

+++++ END

And that's all folks. Better than "Against the Hive" if you ask me.
Damn shame there weren't any eyeshots to go with. Kinda like to have
seen what they found.]<<<<<
