Reconstructing Dr. Sheridan's corrupted mission log
From Intimation
During the active period on July 30, 2009, intimation tweeted these partial messages prefaced by, ">>S5:MSG//ACTIVITY/UNKNOWN//SIGNAL/WEAK//ANALYZING"
>>S5:RPT//"Pando...dan, Archa..logis...Log, Pos...ryo-thaw, D...38"
"Pandora Sheridan, Archaeologist's Log, Post cryo-thaw, Day. 38"
This is the same opening line from http://thewaytheirworldended.com/missionlog27.php, but might be a new Mission Log from Sheridan.
>>S5:RPT//"This is it. Dres...etermined a spec...cours...ction and we'r...out to move ahe..."
"This is it. Dressler determined a specific course of action and we're about to move ahead"
>>S5:RPT//"...ome of Es...nsensical rant...inted at stran...mbols, an...ept singi...ut someone nam...Billy Jean"
"Some of Essy's nonsensical ranting hinted at strange symbols, and she kept singing about someone named Billy Jean"
Looks like the Billy Jean reference is when TrojaN was communicating with @intimation via direct messages, and she asked him to sing to her. :)
>>S5:RPT//"Higg...rheard Es...mblings, an...lized she...umbled abou...thing on board...ship"
"Higgins overheard Essy's ramblings, and he realized she mumbled about something on board the ship."
>>S5:RPT//"...an artif...f sorts, which he...ght on boar...he trip...ys he looke...t it whil...ked in his ro..."
"an artifact of sorts, which he brought on board for the trip. Says he looked at it while locked in his room."
>>S5:RPT//"Well...ey examin...ch closer. I...s emitti...me strang...ak signal...ost undet...ble"
"Well, they examined ...ch closer. It was emitting some strange,weak signal,almost undetectable"
>>S5:RPT//"...essler look...rther into tha...pwreck Proto...hive and fou...ikely soluti..."
"Dressler looked further into that Shipwreck Protocol archive and found a likely solution"
>>S5:RPT//"...e need to re...vate the arti...ut that w...ause a ver...lysmic reacti...cording to t...ecords"
"We need to re-activate the artifact, but that will cause a very cataclysmic reaction according to the records."
>>S5:RPT//"So, w...d to distra...sy long eno...o get that art...ut of her...t can do whate...t needs to do. Th...s where I co...in..."
"So, we need to distract Essy long enough to get that artifact out of her so it can do whatever it needs to do. This is where I come in."
>>S5:RPT//"...omehow, I ne...o keep her atte...n, in full, whi...gins and Dressl...get to th...fact, then jett...it and activ...it"
"Somehow, I need to keep her attention, in full, while Higgins and Dressler get to the artifact, then jettison it and activate it."
>>S5:RPT//"We don...need that thing...oard. If its ac...tion will compl...he steps in thi...reck Protoc...cedure, it's our..ly hope..."
"We don't need that thing on board. If its activation will complete the steps in this Shipwreck Protocol Procedure, it's our only hope."
>>S5:RPT//"...to help Ess...urn to norm...s a craz..ea, bu...s all we've g...I don't wan...s to be m...eyard..."
"We've got to help Essy return to normal. It's a crazy idea, but it's all we've got. I don't want this to be my graveyard"
>>S5:RPT//"She may b...duct of quest...ble busin...ut sh...ill our fri...If we onl...ve one hop...r surviv...u can be sur...re taking i..."
"She may be a product of questionable business [practices?], but she is still our friend. If we only have one hope for survival, you can be sure we're taking it."
>>S5:RPT//"I starte...s mission. I w...t be the on...o let it fai...m ready, Essy."
"I started this mission. I won't be the one to let it fail. I'm ready, Essy."
