Psychic Classification Type A: Telepath What IS a Telepath? Telepaths are the most common type of psychic found among humans, and they are provided with a variety of abilities. This includes anything from emotions, to vision, to perception, to feeling, and even to physical body movements. What exactly can a Telepath DO? This classification of psychic is extremely proficient in the field of therapy, as their abilities are near perfect for treating ailments such as PTSD/Shellshock, grief, and other similar things. The use of these abilities of comfort both out of combat, and in combat are invaluable. As we learn more of the health benefits of the telepath, the more efficient we become at help cure cases of PTSD and other traumatic injuries in troopers. Telepaths are also able to subdue people simply from overloading their mind in whatever way the operative sees fit for the occasion. It can be as small as simply giving one a headache, to knocking them out, and even to the more extremes of killing them. While this ability is kept in check by the operative's handler, it can prove incredibly useful in capturing the occasional uncooperative HVT, or someone of similar circumstance. To add on to this incredible list of attributes, these gifted individuals have the ability to seek out not only other psychic lifeforms, but life in general. This makes them quite useful for finding a lost group of people, an operative who's MIA, or perhaps an alien psychic entity that we require for capture. Now, to think that a psychic would be limited to just these things is foolish. No two psychics are the same in the way their powers develop meaning that some are inherently more aggressive, and some are impenetrable forts, capable of protecting those around them. As the Federation pushes forwards in it's research, so does our knowledge of psychics. And in this knowledge, we find ways to improve. To adapt. And to overcome any obstacles we might face. Do you think YOU are a Psychic?

Psychic Handlers What are ‘Psychic Handlers’? Handlers are members of M.I.P.O.D. who are assigned a member from the field psychics. Their purpose is to keep their assigned psychic ‘on a leash’, and to also keep the psychic in both good mental health, and good physical health. A handler is to keep an eye on their psychic, and make sure no concerns or signs of a compromised psychic come about. In most cases, they double as a personal trainer for the assigned psychic. It is usually required that the handler, and the psychic are the same classification (I.E., Memory Man and Memory Man, Telepath and Telepath, etc. etc.). Also, not all handlers are technically required to be psychic. Men and women who have a well-educated understanding of Psychics can request to be a handler, although this isn’t as common as simply having veteran psychics fill this role. Roster Telepaths MSpc.

some quality drops. good job, pilot look at me, I'm famous

[RECORDING START] 05:42:39 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Take a seat. 05:43:27 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick slumps into the seat, "What’s on yourah mind.. My brain hurts." 05:44:37 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao turns on her terminal and holo-pad. She then orients herself to face the woman. "Did you happen to pick up any documents, or drives? Anything of the sort while you were there? The woman is currently in a coma, so it's hard to extract information from a unresponsive subject." 05:45:36 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods, shifting in the seat abit and producing her brick, she then sets it onto the desk. "All of it uploaded- Plus my helmet cam, fun stuff." 05:46:01 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Videos, data- All the good stuff, ma'am. 05:48:07 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao smiles, pulling the items towards her side of the desk. She slipped them into a box behind the desk, and closed it's lid, marking it with a sharpie. "Perfect. I need everything I can get on this." 05:48:38 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Now, I'll to know exactly what happened. From the start. The helmet cam might show what you see, but not what your mind sees. 05:52:24 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Mmmm-You want to know the whole drop? Okay, it was a simple buggo drop.. A little weirahd but, not so difficult, bunch of chariots were running around eating people and Uh.. Well, We couldn’t figurah out why- I had some idea from the data i was finding, but wasn’t surah until we found a Private, his name was Tracka'. 05:52:58 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nods along, now typing quickly on her terminal as she periodically looks to the woman. 05:53:44 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick sniffles and rubs her nose, her tired eyes glancing about the room as she continued on. 05:56:05 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Tracka' said some spoo- Uh.. Intel people were about and stationed thereah, doing things- I don’t know what really. 05:57:09 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nodded her head. "I am aware of the operatives sent there. That was the last transmission we received, being their arrival." 06:01:35 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Right, Tracka' lead us to whereah Marie went- The specialist we brought back, then we made hostile contact with Neons, he didn’t make it very fah.. Bought it in the halls afta' a prog' naded him. 06:02:14 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick gestures to her bandaged neck and the blood spattered across her uniform. "Wasn’t much left." 06:03:45 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao continued to type rather furiously on her holo-pad, typing out line after line. "Continue." 06:06:36 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick looks down at herself for a moment and picks some bits of bone sticking out of her vest as she continues on her features expressionless as she nodded, "I gatha'd everyone up and then we moved on- Wiping out the neons whereah we saw them all the way to a elevata', I was in the middle of delegating ourah next step and that was when the pain in my head stahted- Psychic fun stuff." 06:07:12 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: You said their name was Marie, correct? 06:07:41 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick glances up from her vest and gives another nod, "Yeah, read it on her vest." 06:09:16 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao continued typing. "Good. Thank you. Continue." 6:14:29 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick sighs and drops her hands into her lap, "I notified my squad of the psychic stuff and then orda'd them to watch eachotha' closely while I took three with me down the elevata', leaving Staff-Sahgeant Stevenson with the rest, we went down and the pain got worse and worse.. The doorah's opened and as we exited the elevata' we saw the.. ehm, Statue? Yeah, surah- And Marie was slumped up against it fiyahing wildly at us- I heard her in my head scream 'Stay away.' 06:14:52 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao stops typing. 06:15:17 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: You said a statue. Right? I'm not hearing things. 06:16:15 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick pauses for a moment as she dug around in her pouches giving a nod. "Yeah, the second one I've seen- Does a wicked bang-out job of making people go ape." 06:17:54 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Mostly Psychic's i think though- Unless it’s feeling like messing with you fawruh inta'fereahing, eh.. Something like that. 06:20:27 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao pulls her hands away from the terminal, her face filling with excitement. "You might not understand the significance of what you just told me, but the past few months have been leading to this -very- moment. This is the catalyst I need to prove my theory to be a reality. Did you hear it say any words to you? Feel anything in particular? Did you actually touch it?" Zhao would be quite worked up by this point, speaking incredibly fast, and realize it, as she was almost out of her seat. She set herself down, and straightened out her uniform. "Apologies. I am just... -excited- by this discover. Please do continue." 06:24:43 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick raises a brow and shifts in her seat, she then finally produces a glove and pulls it onto her left hand tightly, "Thats alot of questions, ma'am.. But No, I didn’t touch it- And the only thing it /tried/ to do to me was grab my head and punt it into wonda'land- Called my name twice and then tried to make me feel like I was on fiyah." 06:25:39 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao furiously typed out the information she was receiving from the woman in front of her. 06:29:22 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick sniffles abit and then nods a few times as she rubs her nose with her now gloved hand, "Didn’t really work, just mental brick walls up hereah in my head it ran into.. I think it was too busy messing with everyone and Marie to /really/ get into it- But, afta' that, I told the privates who were with me to hold back while I moved up towahd Marie- She was knocked out, but the ting had control of her body I guess.. Probably showed her some monsta's coming fawruh her to try and get her to shoot us oruh something- They love do that, psychic peoples and beasties anyway." 06:30:38 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Eh, sorry if im speaking stupidly, ma'am, I'm extremely tiyahd. 06:31:39 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: It's understandable. I would have let you rest before speaking with you, but incase Marie perishes in her sleep, I didn't want to lose any of this information that is fresh in your mind. 06:35:25 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods a few times, "Yeah.. I hope she doesn’t, I kind.. saw into her mind I guess? I don’t know really, anyway, I got to her and she was going fawruh her knife afta' her pistol was out of ammo- The pain in my head was excruciating at this point.. I couldn’t even stand up and barely could keep my eyes open. 06:38:19 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: She ran out of ammo? Interesting. That's not exactly how psychics are supposed to operate, but I suppose further research might tell us why she didn't kill herself far before this point. Anyways, continue. 06:39:50 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Eh.. She wasnt thereah anymawruh, like I said, if the psychic person touches the thing it takes ahold and the uh, person becomes thereah play thing until fawruh whateva' reason. 06:40:07 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Anyway. 06:44:13 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick takes a shallow breath and breathes out in a sigh as she spoke, "As I crawled towah'd her- My surroundings became a blizzah'd, I think it bounced into my head fawruh some creativity- Oruh it was being a pain, I dunno, I got to her afta' that and tried to wake her up- Then did what those weirahd brain people do and touched her on the neck with my left hand afta' getting the knife away from her- Wicked bad idea.. Ended up being slammed in my head with all kinds of strangeness, ma'am." 06:45:35 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nodded as she continued to type. "Anything that stood out to you? Was the operative simply a facet for the statue at this point, and was there a message that it was trying to impress upon you?" 06:48:40 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick shrugs her shoulders gently, "I don't know, I think it was trying to get me to kill her- Couldnt've been her doing that.. In ourah uh.. Synch? I dunno how to explain it- It was one of the hallucinations i've had to deal with in the past with psychic stuff, fake worlds, fake baddies, etcetera. 06:51:57 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I doubt it was her. She wouldn't be able to have any control over herself if she made contact with this statue. I'm hoping to change the one hundred percent fatality rate by keeping the specialist alive, but I'm not too hopeful. It's probably a blessing you didn't touch it. 07:00:30 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods a few times, "Yeah, I don't what makes people touch weirahd stuff like that, ma'am, but anyway- I got her to uh.. Wake-up afta' I mentally grabbed her in the hallucination, vision, thing- And then out of nowhereah.. It all ended- And Marie, snapped out of it. 07:00:58 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Kinda.. Anyway. 07:01:53 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Just -snapped- out of it? That doesn't exactly happen with these things. Either she's the strongest psychic we've ever seen, or this thing allowed her to. 07:03:19 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick shrugs, "It probably has something to do with Staff-Sahgeant Stevenson deciding to touch it." 07:03:40 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao stopped typing once more. 07:03:54 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: He -touched- it? 07:04:04 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: He came back on the Grant alive, correct? I’m not seeing any reports of a KIA here. 07:06:24 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods, "He did- When me and Marie came out of the vision, she turned around and pulled her Pistol out and began loading it.. /I/ was sitting thereah trying to figurah out who I was still- The pain in my head came back in a wicked hurry, like nails on chalk bawrah'd. 07:07:15 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao pulled her PDA up, quickly typing on it. 07:08:45 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Keep an eye on him. I asked Lieutenant Pakdeel to keep his eyes on him. -Nobody- has ever survived. They usually lash out and -kill- people before they go. 07:09:15 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Continue. I will deal with this accordingly. 07:12:02 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick snorts after a moment, then shaking her head a few times slowly as she blinked once or twice before speaking, "I'm just a magnet fawruh the people i hold close dieing now, I love this feeling." 07:13:54 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: My job is to stop these things from happening anymore, Sergeant. And I plan on pulling through with this. 07:14:37 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I plan on changing these fatality statistics within the next few days. 07:15:55 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: I hope so, ma'am. 07:18:39 - Sgt. Sarah Redbrick: Afta' that was ova', I planted a DOTON in the cave and orda'd Marie to be hauled off afta' the rest of my squad showed up, oddly enough, they weren’t experiencing the pain i was feeling any longa'. 07:21:15 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nods, typing. "This is useful information. I'll use the footage you provided to decipher the range and such of this statue against non-psychics, or people who haven't have anchors landed on them." 07:22:15 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Everything you've provided on this drop, has single-handedly brought my research to it's near pinnacle. We could reach a breakthrough, because of this. 07:22:48 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I'm getting ahead of myself again. Apologies. Please continue. 07:30:06 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods , "The statue didn't make any effuht to stop us as it was now focused on Stevenson- Used the time to get Marie clearah, and send my squad out while I tried to get Stevenson free.. I wouldn't leave him behind oruh anybody else- Nossuh, so I endurah'd the pain and pulled my side-ahm out I vaguely rememba' shooting at the statue- Then being outside as Sigrun tossed me and Stevenson onto the ground, Marie whispuh'd to me- I don't rememba' the rest." 07:38:04 - **Sgt. Sarah Redbrick nods, "That's what it was, and that is all that happened, Ma'am." [END RECORDING] NOTES: This is it. This is what we need. I ran tests on the woman and the rock she had dug into her arms, and it seems to be from the statue. I’ve placed it into a lead capsule, and into containment until I’m ready to research it. My theory of short distance relays is proved by what happened down there, and I will be continuing this work. As of right now, I will continue investigating these relays, and try to figure out a way to intercept them. Perhaps, I can request the MI to retrieve samples, or data from that site.

[RECORDING START] 22:09:15 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Take a seat. 22:09:18 - **SSgt. Alice Vickers perches. 22:10:28 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao flicks on her terminal, and activates her holo-board. "We've been researching a variety of Progenitor short range communications, and we believe you might have some information that could help us." 22:11:09 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: I'll answer any questions to the best of my ability, ma'am. 22:11:22 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: So, I would like you to think back. Do you remember the death of Private First Class Jocelyn Holiday? 22:11:30 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: Yes. 22:12:55 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I have next to no reports on what happened, and was asked by my superiors to find out as much as possible to see if it aligned with my theories. Could you explain everything that happened, to the best of your ability? 22:14:19 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: We were there to secure a group of mobile fortresses. About a quarter of a mile down the road from the objective was a graveyard. We spotted neon activity there. My team was on rearguard, so it was our job to secure it. 22:15:40 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: We moved to the graveyard and engaged several neons. We then saw some kind of statue. I felt something from it. Something psychic - when I looked at it. I looked away and tried to warn the others, but Holiday went in with it. I thought she might have a plan. 22:16:08 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: To the best of my memory, after a while, I tried to pull her out, but she resisted. My thinking was that she was doing something important. 22:16:22 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nodded, quickly typing on her terminal as the woman spoke. 22:16:40 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: We came under attack again, and I ordered Specialist Webb to drag her out and blow the statue. He did both. We fended off the attack, with reinforcement from Sergeant Squires. 22:17:20 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: The statue was destroyed, and Holiday seemed dazed. Webb then reported a strong urge to kill her, and had himself disarmed. I didn't think to disarm Holiday as well, seeing Webb as the threat. 22:17:45 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: As we were moving them to extraction, Holiday pulled her pistol, shot Webb in the arm, then shot herself in the head. 22:18:15 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: Webb survived after extraction. We pulled Holiday's body out as well, and reported the site to brass. 22:18:59 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao quickly typed along as the woman spoke. "Any other details? Words she may have spoken, or that the specialist had heard or spoken? Our files and reports on the man were corrupted." 22:21:26 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: I don't remember her saying anything, ma'am, but she was bleeding. Out of everywhere. Nose, eyes... maybe her mouth as well. 22:22:15 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao paused a moment. She clicked on the side bar, and selected another tab. She typed something off quickly before sending it, and returning to the main document. 22:23:55 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Thank you, Sergeant. We might be on the verge of something of a rather strong importance, and your memory may have just confirmed my theory. 22:24:11 - SSgt. Alice Vickers: As you say ma'am. 22:24:48 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: If I have any more questions, I will seek you out. As for now, you're free to go. Thank you for your assistance, Sergeant. [END RECORDING] NOTES: This confirms my theory on the relay points have some psychic connection. The note on the psychic’s body also helps push the theory even further. I am going to request a site be secured as soon as possible, and possibly work on one of these myself. This will need approval, of course, but I believe we could be on the verge of a new discovery. Perhaps another way to push the Progenitors out of our home. Second Lieutenant Hannah Q. Zhao FFRL - Xenostudies Ulysses S. Grant

[RECORDING START] 17:14:54 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I have some question for you. One of which is regarding a psychic, and the other a Meta. 17:15:04 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: Umm... Okay. 17:15:23 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Now, I need you to answer -truthfully-. If you don't, you could impede my work, and the Federation’s progress by a large amount. 17:15:34 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: All right. 17:15:58 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I will start off with the Meta. I heard you were one of the first to face infield treatment after a bite from a Meta, yes? 17:17:21 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: Meta? You mean those zombie bugs? I got bit by one of the creatures. I thought I was gonna get infected so I had Corporal Volker cut my foot off, since you now, that's how it works in movies. But it turns out only hosts infect you. So, I essentially had my foot cut off for no reason. 17:19:04 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Meta's are their /correct/ name, but I've heard zombie quite a few times. Regardless. It may have been for the best, as I've only just started sampling the contents and diseases these things carry, and it looks rather unpleasant. 17:19:24 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Can you explain to me what the Meta that bit you looked like? 17:20:37 - Spc. Sylase 'Fucker' Freeman: It was... Black... And decayed. I didn't get a good look at it. It sprang out of the floor and bit me in the foot. 17:21:55 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: How was it's body formed? Did it still have legs? Was it skinny? Did it have limbs grown out of the shoulders? 17:22:17 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: These are what I'm interested in. I need to be able to decipher which classification it fit. 17:22:32 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: It was skinny. 17:22:44 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: I don't remember seeing any limbs on it's back. 17:23:14 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: So it looked rather humanoid? No special appendages? 17:24:35 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: I just remember it looking like a skinny little... Humanoid creature. 17:24:58 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao swipes through her terminal before flipping it around. "Like this?" At this time, and image of a Class F Meta was shown. 17:25:33 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: Umm. Yeah. I think so. 17:27:44 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: Yeah. For sure it looked like that. 17:29:11 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao turned the terminal back to face her. "Hmm. Alright." She seemed to be typing at an incredibly fast rate as she listened to the man. 17:30:34 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Did you suffer from any joint pain, or 'growing pains', I.E. pain in the skeletal structure after this? 17:31:57 - Spc. Sylase Freeman: Not that I Can recall. Just cutting off the foot. [ERROR - MEMORY CORRUPTED] NOTES: The recording device had failed without my knowledge for the second half, but it seemed the man remembered next to nothing about the Holiday Case, even though he was present on the scene. I will be questioning Staff Sergeant Vickers about this. I do hope we can make progress with her memory. Second Lieutenant Hannah Q. Zhao FFRL - Xenostudies Ulysses S. Grant

DATE: 10/13/2298 SUBJECT: Class B - Red (Commander) Progenitor [RECORDING START] 00:24:56 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao sets up the camera before walking away, placing herself in the frame behind the progenitor on the table. 00:26:25 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: P dash Two-Four-Six-One. Session two, Progenitor Communications Research. 00:27:09 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: For this session, I will be investigating the Frontal and Parietal Lobes of a Class B progenitor. 00:28:53 - : Bobby has just loaded in. 00:29:43 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao /it The Progenitor's cranium was sliced open, the brain of it open for the camera to see, as well as for Zhao to see. 00:32:02 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I will be investigating the make up and ratio of the differences in a Class A's mind, and a Class B's as well. The information from the last session should be placed in a side by side view after editing. 00:37:16 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao picked up a scalpel, and held it expertly in her hand. She then placed it against the top of the Progenitor's brain, slicing downwards. A thick, black liquid drips down as she uses her hands to spread it, showing the inside of it to the camera. 00:45:14 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: This here, is the Frontal Lobe. Now, compared to a Class A progenitor, the Class B's Frontal Lobe is substantially larger. This confirms my previous theory that the 'Commander' class progenitors have a more independently functioning, self-aware brain. 00:48:10 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao further slid the scalpel back, opening up the brain quite a bit more. "Now, the parietal lobe is about the same, if not a small amount larger than a Class A's." 00:51:02 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao grasps a small capsule, and a drill-like tool. She then dug the drill into the brain, seeming to extract a rather large amount of gray matter from the beast. She then inserted it into the capsule, and closed it, setting it into a freezing unit nearby. 00:51:30 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao turns to the camera. "End P dash Two-Four-Six-One. Session Two. Outcome: Successful extraction of the brain matter, unharmed." [RECORDING END] NOTES: The Red progenitor’s brain matter proved incredibly informative. While small amounts of psychic receptiveness were found in Class A minds, the Class B’s mind had larger amounts of this, and an amplifier of sorts. This can explain the sort of 'Officer' role these Red progenitors play. I have sent this out for refinement to attempt to discover an interception technique. If this works out, we could have a potential way to locate these relays (radio towers), and perhaps take them out before they can do any damage. Second Lieutenant Hannah Q. Zhao FFRL - Xenostudies Ulysses S. Grant

DATE: 10/12/2298 SUBJECT: Class A - Blue Progenitor [RECORDING ATTACHED] 17:36:50 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao adjusts the camera, prepping the recording session. 17:38:24 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao nods, flipping on the recording switch. She then steps into the frame, the progenitor body and herself in the frame. 17:41:10 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Pee dash two-four-six-one, Subject A, session one. 17:42:07 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I will be investigating the Frontal and Parietal Lobes of a basic progenitor, Classification A. 17:43:15 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: I have already created an incision in the cranium, and will being investigating the frontal lobe of this creature. 17:44:29 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao turns, reaching onto the table and grabbing a scalpel. She then placed a gloved hand over the open cranium of the progenitor. 17:48:32 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao takes the scalpel, dragging it from the bottom of the frontal lobe, to the top of the brain. It split open, revealing a soft gray matter, with dull blue liquid dripping from the incision. 17:49:35 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: As you can see, the frontal lobe seems to be far smaller than the average humans. This could explain the lack of vocal communication, personality, and self awareness." 17:51:08 - 2Lt. Hannah Zhao: Now, I'm going to move to the parietal lobe. Let's see.... 17:54:23 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao slides the scalpel further back, exposing more of the inside of the specimen’s brain. "As you can see, the parietal lobe is vastly larger than the frontal lobe. This could explain the rather rapid response that they seem to have in combat, without vocalization. I can't quit place my finger on what it is yet, but hopefully, with the red progenitor, then scans will provide more helpful research." 17:59:38 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao grasps a small capsule, and a drill-like tool. She then dug the drill into the brain, seeming to extract a rather large amount of gray matter from the beast. She then inserted it into the capsule, and closed it, setting it into a freezing unit nearby. 18:00:55 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao closes the casing around the body of the progenitor, activating to cooling systems within the container, effectively making the progenitor unseeable through the thick glass. 18:02:04 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao turns to the camera. "End P dash Two-Four-Six-One. Subject A. Session One. Outcome: Successful extraction of the brain matter, unharmed." 18:02:31 - **2Lt. Hannah Zhao walks up to the camera, turning it off, and began transferring it to the terminal behind it. [END RECORDING] NOTES: My theories that I am testing is for short distance communication, Progenitors either use multiple relay points, or a complex interpersonal communications system. I.E. speaking through mind waves. My strongest case is the Relay points acting as a ‘radio tower’ of sorts. Multiple reports have come in about strange psychic statues. Sadly, all operatives who come in contact with it almost immediately lose sanity, and end their life soon after. I’m hoping to be able to get some more information on these, though, and if we come into contact with these on the field, I hoping to capture one, although I’m afraid the cost would be too high for it. In this progenitors case, it’s relay point had to of still existed, as it was a part of a coordinated attack against the base, and was obviously not formed into an Abomination yet. I am going to request a team, once the area is secure, to try and locate it. If we can find one, and take samples from it, we could find ways to intercept their communications. I’m hoping this all turns out the way I’m thinking. This could help us take back Terra so much sooner, and finally push the Progenitors out of Sol. Second Lieutenant Hannah Q.
