SUMMARY: A personal log recorded by UESC Captain Orion regarding the status of the New Cascadia colony and the UESC Marathon.<br>

[ORION]:<br>Self-report 092, call sign Orion. We've completed our secondary investigation into the outpost. I've collected all colony records that I can for classification, but recordkeeping is scattered and disorganized. There's no easy way to interact with colony AI for an export or purge, so we're doing this the old-fashioned way.<br>
[ORION]:<br>Accounts of the event are fairly consistent, but extremely vague. It's pretty clear our UESC forebearers were engaging in an intel lockdown. But in what we can find, we've got strong evidence of asymmetric tactics. The UESC came here with reduced military capacity, thinking they wouldn't need the firepower. Clearly, they were wrong. The casualty lists are staggering.<br>
[ORION]:<br>Even if they had been prepared, I don't know it would've made much difference. Based on these reports, I believe even a fully outfitted fleet would've struggled. And that… that worries me. We can't let word of this get out until we understand the full threat and how to survive it. Save report.<br>
