.01 Vault Intelligence - The first colony - Mars

There have been a fair amount of unusual phenomena back on earth as there is a vast number in the universe but Oh boy, was it ever a trip when we , as in humans, started to colonize Mars in 2035. Well before I was the Director of Vault Security I would have never guessed that the odd conspiracies about Mars would be true. It's my guess that they, scientists, wouldn’t send thousands of humans to Mars without sending rats and mice first. For example, before drugs are implemented and distributed, the drug is tested over and over until deemed safe for public use. Back in 2020 there was already an Mars expedition that was to terraform the planet for humankind. A hundred or so Scientist and a few Military dogs were set out and well if they never reached the planet I wouldn't be saying any of this the first three weeks were hell for the colony and I would tell you what the reports say but that's not where things start to get horrific. St. Nelson reports he kept hearing a soft wailing coming from a nearby canyon, so lead director Jackson and Nelson went to the top of the canyon to liten. Both were startled to hear a woman wailing somewhere in the dark abyss. The nose was almost as if the woman was hurt as she would wail and then stop to gag as if fluids were going down her throat. Sgt. Nelson and Jackson immediately ran back to base for a headcount and to their relief everybody was in camp tbut the two were also nervous and decided to keep this to themselves .Nelson and Jackson would exchange nervous looks when the engineer team would have to go out to fix the constructed pipeline that went into an elevated section of the canyon. “WE’RE GOING TO DIE HERE NO THANKS FROM EARTH. SHE IS HUNTING US AND NOT OUT OF HUNGER BUT FOR FUCKING SPORT. YOU FUCKED US OVER, AMERICA, YOU FUCKING FUCKED US.” The last actual recorded message was here not long after i was appointed Chief director so without further investigation i'll never know why it took so long to receive the message Surely somebody would have found something but that's a great conspiracy, isn't it? If I had leaked this information on the universal web, the great mysteries of mars would only be a superstition. So back to where I left off earlier, the engineers would often check on the water supply line. It got tiresome after late hours of getting the water flowing just for them to wake up after an hour of sleep because the water was cut off. After a year of rationing water, Jackson decided to travel to sector C, ways away from the canyon. Sgt.Nelson handt the stomach to check out Sector B, he wanted as far away from it as possible. The volcano located in Sector C was massive and it was very active. Sgt.Nelson confirmed it wasn't going to work out and offered to find another location rather than sector . Colonists Grew suspicious as they organized a research team and headed out without Jackson's authorization. It was hours later that Sgt.Nelson discovered the operation and decided to take his own team. Since his team served under him for so long he went ahead and came out with the truth as soon as they were headed out. One of the privates gave a reassuring assessment that there could have been some wind coming with a sand storm. When They reached Sector B, at the edge of the canyon, they discovered a ladder made from skulls and bones. The team then discussed things over and thought it would be best not to venture into the canyon. There were bone ladders after bone ladders. More than what the missing team could produce. As Sgt. Nelson's team headed back and the night sky started to emerge. Jackson was frightened to hear about what they had found but there was nowhere else to go. He explained they didn’t have the necessary resources to go pass 3 sectors.That same night, Sgt. Nelson was woken up by one of the scientists screaming. One of the privates from the Sergeants team was dead. His eyes are covered in a lack living substance that went down from the side of his cheeks to which it made him look as if he was crying and his jaw had been torn apart by force with his tongue pulled out as far as it would reach while his wrist was broken in an unpleasant manner. Another year goes by without further fatal deaths but the colony was still uneasy to go past the colony wall. Jackson had been frantically sending out messages to earth not to send anybody here but I suppose we ignored his plead. At this point, Nelsons seems to be altered from what he saw a year ago. He predicts in two years time, another incident would occur. He had actually went back to the canyon and found a photo of the privates family. Nelson was right to assume that's where things went wrong. Whatever is down there came up and saw the photo and possible triled down footprints left behind. Later in the mid day as small tech team set up a hidden cam looking off in the direction of the ladder. As expected, they caught something on video. The video spooked Jackson so badly he didn't come out for days only to be found dead from dehydration and starvation. It didn't take long after that when everyone was being picked off one by one . Until half the colonists were gone, Nelson instructed them to make through the volcanoes to pass to the other side. A recon drone spotted a promising location so surely the haunting humanoid woman wouldn't track that far but Jackson was right about one thing. A depletion of resources. Nelson put fewer entries in as they were dying. I’m not sure what happened to the remains of the colonist but I am aware that the vault security were the first to recon the canyon. Since this is beyond my appointment,my information is limiedon intel. As you're going to come and find out, we keep these anomalies in the vault. The vault is a secure location that houses dangerous anomalies that people find throughout space exploration. I apologize I can't tell you the location due to universal safety and security.If one vaulted anomaly bot out, the most likely they would all breach. I’;m sure you would like specs of the woman of mars but I am clearly instructed from adobe not to view the video.
