Ghost Fragment: The Exo Stranger 2
[Scattered field notes captured on an archaic transmission band]
RECORD 084-BRIDGE-10.7
Right When this time, wrong Where. The world so big on the horizon — wasn't expecting it. As it happens, something's here that's not supposed to be, other than myself. Will return.
RECORD 092-BRIDGE-08.1
Configuration worked, mostly. Arrived under the surface, surrounded. Too slow to return, barely fought to a vantage point. Yes there is dark evil here, and not the one we chase. Suggest no other attempts without more care.
RECORD 120-BRIDGE-05.3

RECORD 473 – BRIDGE - 1.2
