We've made it to the coast, and have found a safe place to bunker down. One road in and out, lots of very steep hills/cliffs. Is it safe to take in refugees? There might be room for more people here, and we could use someone with something better then a pistol, but....are people really betraying others to the machines?


Only take in more people if they are proven to be normal. If you don't think your group is up to the task of judging that the best case scenario is to stay in your "safe place."

A pistol can be good enough if you are in a remote enough location. How many days worth of supplies do you have left? Does your pistol use a cooling system or thermal clips? Have you planned several escape routes from your current safe place?

These are the questions you need to consider.

Me and a couple of squad mates, just made it out of bunker 27, it was a mess, a real mess, we just managed to survive after the brutal attack, we are currently heading south to bunker 29 were we received our last communication from about 1 hour ago.


If you have no luck with 29 you can head northwards, about 25 clicks to us. If you were able to survive one of the attacks then you would be considered to be an asset.

Reports are coming in from camps and bunkers that some of the refugees are sleeper agents of the Machines. They go into our camps and then start to sabatoge defenses. Shortly thereafter waves of husks begin to attack then drag off as many bodies as possible.

A third of our camps fell last night from this strategy. We are now quarantining new refugees at the camps and bunkers before allowing them access. Fortunately we have several health care professionals and members of the military that are up to questioning them before they enter.

Be on the lookout for odd behavior.

Our camp managed to spot several infiltrators and our defenses remain intact.

We have the civilians working on creating new earth bunkers to house refugees while simultaneously creating trenches. We will survive this.

Camp 30 of the United North American States out.


I'm stationed in Stockholm, capital of Sweden. Me and the rest of my division have esablished camp in the northern fringes of the city, broadcasting for civilians and listening in on other signals.

A few days ago we started seeing these creatures, I don't know what to call them, me and the rest of the camp just call them stalkers (since they're everywhere). They're humanoid in appearance (most of the time) and got this blue light. At first we just thought their attacks were random, and that they were mindless, but as the days go by we've started noticing certain patterns in their behaviour. During the day most of them seem to be hidden, or sleeping. But there's always a few that are sulking around our camp. They're not attacking unless we leave the camp, but they're still nerve wrecking. However, every night stalkers swarm our defenses, trying to breach inside. They nearly got us last thursday, but we managed to retaliate with the help of some grenades and carl, our only biotic. He's not been feeling well the last few days however, and repeatedly using biotics is taking a toll on him.
I don't know if he'll be able to help us as much in the future.

Also, a warning to you guys, those giant machines have some sort of signal that causes severe headaches, I was out for days before it faded. Luckily those things haven't take notice of our precense yet, but we don't know how long that'll last.

You are going to need to watch out for those signals that cause those headaches, Stockholm.

From what our camp shrinks and medics seem to think it's connected with people going nuts and betraying the group. If you see people acting oddly after these headaches or they have blackouts QUARANTINE them immiediatly! Either that or send them on their way! Or do them a final kindness and put them out of their misery.

Those blue creatures sound like the husks that attacked Eden Prime in the wake of the Geth. We've seen a few at our site. We've taken to sniping them long distance and sending scouts to burn the bodies.

If those big machines are getting close I'd suggest withdrawing. Just one of them can destroy a camp or bunker in a single shot if they spot you.

Camp 30 of the US army this is systems alliance earth defense force, division 112, Stockholm

Everything's gone to hell over here, Stephen (our previous comm expert) went into a frenzy, just like the one you described. More people have been suffering from those headaches, but thanks to your report we now have all suffering individuals quarantined. However, We had to abandon camp and retreat further into the woods, we're planning on reaching the coast and try taking refugee on one of the islands in the archipleago, They are mostly uninhabited and as far as we've seen stalkers can't cross water very well.

However we've suffered heavy casualties. We relied too much on Carls' biotics, and it broke the poor bastard. Warpbomb misfired and tore off his right arm right at the elbow. We managed to secure most of our civilians but we're too strained as it is to provide much protection, we're mostly herding them and making sure no one goes wandering off. However, in last nights' attack we saw new "types" of stalkers. Apart of the humanoid I also spotted something that's taller than a human with some sort of potbelly, but it flings biotics around like they're rubber balls, that thing alone probably took credit for 1/3 of our casualties. Kinda look like those pics of asari in last month's edition of forna(CONTENT DELETED)

Anyway, evening's close by, and every soldier still able for combat is to help guard the perimeter, I'll contact you In the morning.

112th division out.


112th, glad you're still out there. We're happy to have helped somewhat.

I'd probably select an island with zero population if possible. You might have an easier go if you can locate one with a natural cave system, it should give you a chance to be shielded from detection while providing some shelter.

Since you are by the coast have you considered one of the Atlantic scientific outposts? Last I heard there were several throughout the ocean floor. From what I remember from articles many of them have floating entrances that can be sealed from the inside and jettisoned in case of hurricanes.

If you can get your group to one of those you might be golden. They are supposed to be self sustaining, with all their geothermal power, algae growing, and that jazz.

We'll say some prayers for you and your people at tonight's dinner.

Never thought I'd be praying for those people on the Council to come and save our asses.

Camp 30, United North American States of America, out.

We landed at a monestary down here of all places. My MIL knew some of the brothers. They're set up for a while, but they weren't planning to have their population doubled.  We were their first news that anything was amiss, which I take as something of a positive.

Nope, we're pretty much screwed if we're discovered.  Like I said one way in and out, unless throwing ourselves down a very steep hill seems the better option.

You need to hide your aircar so it can't be seen from the air. Also stress to the brothers of the monestary the importance of having no lights be visible outside. Have them reinforce all entrances and exits.

You all need to make an inventory of supplies. If you only have a week or two's worth now is the time to try to scavenge new supplies from outskirts before the machines move out from teh cities. You don't want to be doing this later.

Other than that, good luck. If you have issues you can contact the network through the shortwave and leave messages here.

[[Broad Beam Short Range *High Static*]]

This is the Cheyane Mountain Complex. Northern American States. We are warning all and any refugees to avoid the safety of the Complex. We have had infiltrators spring up and capture the refugee camp outside. Base is sealed down under lock down and we are screening and putting all personnel in quarantine that show signs, All Back Entrances to the complex are under guard with orders to shoot and kill.

We are requesting all Military Support we can handle in pre scans for signs of odd behavior. As far as my communications can go I have no word from Alliance Command or the Defense Council.

Cheyane Mountain Complex Out.
