- Palmer, Nathaniel J. Archaeologist, Lamb Research Center. Date: 01/17/2559
- It has been two months since the attack and our group has atrophied to eight.
- Four disappeared one night while the rest of us slept. Each of them had argued
- with us that week about returning to the base to see if they could reopen the
- portal, so I can only hope they left in the night to go back without us. Three we
- lost to thirst, hunger and the elements. I am ashamed to notice that our
- smaller group is now more manageable - finding food and water is easier with
- fewer mouths to feed.
- During this time, the invaders have not been idle. Yesterday we stumbled upon
- what seems to be some kind of transport route, moving resources they're
- mining to supply their forces. The lanes sprawl out across the land like a spider
- web, with all the grace and aesthetics of Forerunner design.
- We rested and argued for a while about which direction to head in. There was a
- real danger we could accidentally stumble upon an enemy base, but that could
- also lead to supplies, perhaps even a vehicle we could steal.
- We are hungry and exhausted and cannot last much longer in the wild. One of
- us, Brewer, said as much and not for the first time raved about surrendering.
- We thought we had talked him out of it but the next morning he had gone. If
- he had successfully surrendered he could have given away our position, so we
- had no choice but to start moving immediately.
- We look for cover but avoid the trees because I have seen strange shimmers
- and movement amongst them. I am scared and tired and want to give up. But
- that won't get me back to you.
