Dark Aether

A mysterious realm beyond the world we know, filled with untapped resources and nightmarish creatures. Proceed with caution, but listen and observe closely…

Audio Logs

Lost Souls: Fritz

• Map: Die Maschine

We thought this mission would be quick. How hopeful we were...

Fritz: We all thought...we thought this mission would be quick. The plan came straight from the top.

Fritz: How hopeful we were, taking that first step. Victory was ours. But we spent our bullets long ago, and...this place has changed us.

Fritz: I am not...the man I was. I am not...a man at all. I am just...so very tired...

Lost Souls: Pyotr

• Map: Die Maschine

Atmospheric readings match crystal radiation signatures... personal contamination remains in safety range...

Pyotr: Field report. Lost contact with unit but continue to gather samples until comrades are reacquired.

Pyotr: Atmospheric readings match crystal radiation signature. So this stuff is everywhere. Personal contamination remains in safety range.

Pyotr: Four hostile contacts today. I killed three with small arms fire. The other I...avoided. May attempt engaging after I find my squad.

Pyotr: There is much to explore here. Stand by for additional reports.

Day 4,100

• Map: Die Maschine

The Stranger has learned of a powerful overlord.

Day 4,100: Found one of the big ones dead today. Had the impression they left each other alone, but it was clear from wounds they fight among themselves.

There is talk here that one of the "overlords" is hunting the rest. Sounded like crazy talk, especially because some now worship the giants. But I have seen enough to believe it.

If one of the giants is imposing its will on the rest, I shudder to think what new order may emerge.

Day 13,784

• Map: Die Maschine

Confirmed: these messages are being broadcast to this computer from the Dark Aether. The Stranger is attempting to establish communication.

Day 13, 784: Very big development today! Passed through another weak spot and found a device set to frequency I use for broadcasts. My previous transmissions were right there on screen! No longer feel like I am talking to the void.

When I got pulled back here, I set my transmitter to indicate if receiving device has been used. Waiting now for any sign that someone is on other end.

Feels strange, after all this time, having something to look forward to.

Hello?

• Map: Die Maschine

Contact.

Hello! You are receiving my messages, yes?

I lost hope anyone was out there.

My friend, whoever you are, keep checking in. Must go now but will contact you soon.

Radio Transmissions

Alive

• Map: Die Maschine

I am still alive. I am trapped here.

Pyotr: It was supposed to be over quickly -- in and out. But I was separated from the rest of my unit before our extraction.

Pyotr: By the time I got to the exfil point, the equipment had been smashed to pieces. This radio is the only thing still functional.

Pyotr: There may be no way back for me now, but I will do my duty till my last breath.

Gathering

• Map: Die Maschine

The congregations in the valleys grow larger.

Pyotr: Like most souls here, I have stayed away from others since I arrived. But over the last few months I have seen ever larger groups congregating in the valleys. I hear their chants echo through the eternal night.

Behemoth

• Map: Die Maschine

There is a presence here the scale of which I cannot explain.

Pyotr: I have not seen it, but I know it is there. I've seen the destruction left in its wake...swathes of trees...snapped and broken as though they were twigs.

Pyotr: It moves with purpose, but it is not a purpose I understand. I have not seen it. I hope I never do.

Dominion

• Map: Die Maschine

A presence here has corrupted the minds of others.

Pyotr: I met an old comrade this morning. His unit were among the first of our soldiers to pass through to this world.

Pyotr: I fear he has lost his mind, as he mostly rambled incoherently, speaking words I could not understand.

Pyotr: From the little I could make out, he claims to have been here for many months. This is not possible. He deployed only one week before I did.

Horde

• Map: Die Maschine

There is a roar in the deep dark.

Pyotr: I have heard its guttural roar echo through the forests like a wounded animal screaming out in pain. I fear they are becoming an army.
