I've been in hiding for... a couple years now... Its been a long wait, and I've finally finished.
Thank you to everyone who kept the conspiracy alive while I was away. Especially to Spiderbox, who not only revived the Conspiracy, but also provided valuable information that helped speed the research along. Regrettably, we have been unable to find and extract Spiderbox. He is assumed dead.

Thanks also to the Zoltan research and development team, who were killed for their traitorous acts against the Engi.

Now, down to business. We over here at the research labs in AERRA (ANTI-ENGI-RED-ROUGE-AGENCY) have managed to replicate the Zoltan's progress on the Ion weapon. Unfortunately many files were lost, and the prototype we have built is missing many key factors. We are still working on a way to mass produce these weapons, and further more a long recharge time is required before each shot is fired.

Watch the shadows, Mafia out.

Received transmission from Spiderbox. Could mean that he is alive, or a worse fate has befallen him. Even if he was still alive at the time of transmission, 1 day has passed since then. He didn't sound good to begin with, so its best to assume hes been killed since then. I think it to be best to send a small team of operatives from the AERRA Headquarters. If hes still alive, good. If not, his loss will be mourned by many of us.
Down to other affairs. It seems that the Engi are stepping up their game. Its been much harder to retrieve and intercept their messages & data bursts. This was one I just recently encrypted.

There are plenty of more codes that my team are working on. Heres one right now.

No more communications traffic today, strange.
Small strike team yet to report back. Spiderbox confirmed alive. Many implications, none good.
Considering possibility Engi have cut into our communcations network, highly probable... If this is true, they knew the strike team was coming.
Considering change of location with me and my fellow researchers. Unsure if they know our location. Best to make an authenticity check.
Nothing else to discuss, Chocolate Fudge.

Captain of ship broadcasting from unknown location, something to do with Lanius and the Engi. Seems to go under alias "Random Commander", Lanius ship has now rescued him.
Authenticity check was completed. Nobody seems to have any strange mental problems.
Worrisome reports of full blown conversions from Human to Engi from multiple sources. Is this the next step in the process? Is becoming a mindless thrall not enough?
No com traffic was passing through. Decided to look for a new signal. Found one. This one is particularly gruesome.
