There exist some things in the universe that are horrifying.

Some things that are best left behind in a metaphorical closet to gather dust and be forgotten.

Some things that humanity was not meant to discover.

To whoever may receive this broadcast from the depths of deep space...

You've survived. That on its own is an extraordinary achievement that a majority of living organisms did not receive. Congratulations. However, you may be wondering why you are still alive while your friends, family, and everything around you perished. Perhaps you are already starting to perish as well.


Our greatest regret is that we can not help you. We can not save you, nor can we return ever again. However, in your final moments, before the second wave hits, the very least we can do is provide you with your answers.

Attached to this log is a collection of footage, documents, personal experiences, and more, that have been compiled together by us. The time that we spent drifting through the dark abyss of space putting this together is insignificant compared to what we allowed to happen.

So while some of us are still split on whether this was the right choice, we all at least agreed on sending this message. You can take this as an apology, an excuse, a plea for forgiveness, all of which are valid interpretations. However, we hope that this will at the very least bring closure to you.

After all, you are still alive after the end. You deserve at least something.
