NOW PLAYING : RECORD LOG RECOVERED FROM ABANDONED EXPLORATORY VESSEL - LICORIS - CLEARED AND TRANSCRIBED BY INVESTIGATION TEAM

NOTE : ALL CREW REGISTERED TO THE LICORIS ARE LOGGED AS MISSING - NO FURTHER LIFE SIGNS DETECTED BY RECOVERY CREW - LICORIS TO BE FLAGGED FOR PICKUP BY SALVAGE TEAM

I've told that man a hundred times now; no matter what it looks like, it ain't his friend, not anymore. Nor is it anyone else's for that matter…but did he listen? Did anyone even listen to a word I said? Fuck!

Shit really hit the fan here…I don't think I can last another hour…I've barricaded the doors but this thing…its not material, Adams from engineering locked himself in the engine room a few days ago and when we last went to check on him, he didn't answer the door. By the time we got the welding off the thing, it was there. No Adams, just that…bitch…sitting there wearing him…that's how Rose went next. Adams was gonna wed her when they got back to Earth, and knowing what it did to him, I couldn't find it in me to stop her…maybe their together somehow? Wishful thinki-

Editor's Note : At this point in the audio, the subject, logged as Reynolds from vocal sampling matching that of the Licoris crew member, goes silent. Heavy foot steps and whispering not linked to any of the crew can be heard while Reynolds shifts the recorder to presumably evade the cause of the noise, staying quiet even long after the footsteps have faded.

After a few seconds pass in silence, subject continues recording.

…shit, I don't have much time left so I'll get straight to the point. What we found down on that hellhole, whatever you do, don't look at it. That's how it got Hicks, then Rickter, how it got everyone. I don't know how, or what the damn thing actually was before it came upon us but don't for a second think it's harmless just because it looks like a woman. Know this; whoever sees it, becomes it. It's not the same woman all the time but rather, a female rendition of the taken if they were male. As for how this all started…

The expedition was a three man crew and Hicks and Rickter were the only two on the team who knew each other, so I probably know what led to what once Hicks became patient zero from what Alfred, the team leader told me. Comms cutout, they saw Hicks shiver after cutting himself off midway through talking about something he saw in the foliage, and when he turned to face them with his envirosuit slipping off of a body I can't say I would've hated to sleep with, he wasn't himself anymore.

It was bad enough that they brought her back on board the ship, but you know what? I actually think we might've gotten off on the wrong foot…no matter how alien she looked or despondent she was. I think Hicks was still somewhere in there, acting as a human shield for us to contain her until we knew what we were dealing with…until that stupid sentimental prick ended up stealing my access pass for the detainment cells with his genius idea, revolver in hand…When that round went off, it killed Hicks, not the creature. And with that human element removed…well, you know the rest.

This thing isn't normal. It's like a ghost, one minute it's there and the next it's not, but other times it's like it's playing with us, taking a physical presence roaming the ship when it could've just spirited us all away like it did Adams. Now everyone's gone except-

Editor's Note : No more audio can be heard at this point past recoverable data. From the corrupted portions of the log, our interpreters can only assume that the subject, armed with a weapon loaded beforehand, fired at either himself or the entity spoken of in the log. But from the Recovery Team's report, no blood or trace of a scuffle was found after tearing down the barricade blocking off the corridor outside and the doorway to the room where the log was found. Corroborating the subjects claims of the entity being able to shift in and out of the corporeal plane.

I would also like to suggest we take a head count of our crew in the mess. If this thing really is as dangerous as it is, it represents a very real threat. A cognitohazard of this level with no reliable means of containment, we need to find the fastest and most reliable means to combat it. As much as I fear the thought, our teams found nothing on board the Licoris…now that either means it's left…or it could be on…oh no-
