    Summary

    It’s been four weeks and two days since Outpost Polaris went dark.

    Four weeks since the last formal contact from the previous crew- and what we’ve received since barely qualifies as communication. A single, encrypted transmission bounced back to The Tower on Earth: five letters tapped in Morse. NORET. No accompanying signal, no biometric pings. No audio, no video. Just five letters.
    ORACLE flagged it for priority investigation and diverted us, Traction Vessel: Daedalus, from our original course to Orion B-3. That was 31 days ago.

    We arrived yesterday.
