[Surely the noise is nothing. Don't worry about it! Don't worry about it.

Here are your hard-won handwritten notes, enjoy?

LOG 30.0331

We’ve solved one problem, but seemingly created a few more.

There’s now enough energy to sustain island operation and boost production of the serum and calibration testing for LELANTOS. However, the distortions to the islands themselves aren’t stabilizing at the same rate as before; or the readings were premature. Longer-term trending indicates that there is no way to bring the place to equilibrium with the current amount of people, even without accounting for foreign factors, and I doubt expending more energy for another batch will buy us that much more time.

If we look at the progress on both projects, finishing within the current deadline is more efficient than re-balancing the equation.

Time is the biggest luxury we don’t have.


[The rest of the report is a mess of calculations, many crossed out and redone multiple times. There’s a few graphs pasted to the report as well, most showing a downward trend for what look like either weather patterns or island facilities, with only a few select facilities showing upward trends.]

Serum’s done. Finally.

At this point, just a sample of it would be enough to reproduce with the right knowledge, but it’s hard to say if anyone back home would have the expertise without the experiments and notes recorded in this facility. It’s not as bad as the time travel, but just about nothing is.

KRATOS indicates that the archipelago is beginning its final death spiral. So, just in time. And just enough energy to complete both projects, with allowance for contingencies and extra requirements. Nothing ever goes smoothly in this place.

Either way, it’ll end soon.

Either way, it’s time to go.


Other than that, it doesn't look like most of the equipment here is accessible or operational.]
