TIMELINE RECONSTRUCTION (1968)
LOG: "FIRST LOG"
LOC: Ship Terminal
"Sigurd notes the 'janky' suit. He hears SCREAMS behind the Company wall. The voice on the walkie claims it was 'eaten by the beast'."
LOG: "SMELLS HERE!"
LOC: Assurance
"Atmospheric entry noting the smell. Establishing the crew's routine."
LOG: "SOUND BEHIND THE WALL"
LOC: Gordion
"CRITICAL: Sigurd confirms the voice is REAL. It claims the Company is 'freaking out' because it knows they are inside. The beast demands feeding."
LOG: "SCREAMS"
LOC: Vow
"The screams are getting louder. The psychological toll is mounting."
LOG: "NONSENSE"
LOC: Rend
"MAJOR REVELATION: Desmond traces the Company phone number. It doesn't go to the building. It goes... across the solar system. The Company is remote."
LOG: "REAL JOB"
LOC: Titan
"Added in v47. Highly redacted. Suggests the crew is realizing they are not employees, but livestock."
LOG: "DESMOND"
LOC: Titan
"FINAL ENTRY. The end of Sigurd's timeline. Desmond encrypts the logs to warn future employees (us)."
THE WALL ENTITY
The Company Building is not a headquarters. It is a containment cell. The entity behind the wall eats scrap to convert matter into credits (or gold). Removing the Apparatus from facilities likely weakens the containment grid.
> STATUS: ACTIVE / HUNGRY
SUBMARINE DEVICE
Located beneath the Company landing pad. It is labeled "BATTERY" and "DON'T TELL". It contains slots that perfectly fit the Apparatus.

PLANETARY ANOMALIES
71-GORDION (The Company)
Not a natural moon. It appears to be a massive continent floating in a gas giant or a constructed facility. The erratic weather and "underwater" sounds suggest artificial containment.
68-ARTIFICE (Hidden Moon)
Lore confirms this was an active colony containing "advanced weapons" (Old Birds). The colony was destroyed not by monsters, but by the activation of its own defenses.
8-TITAN
A frozen landscape that has been "mined out". The massive industrial complex suggests a tiered society lived here. It is the site of Sigurd's final logs, hinting at a massacre.
5-EMBRION
A desolate testing ground made of pure amethyst. The surface is littered with dormant Old Birds, confirming it was a testing site for orbital weaponry, not a habitable zone.
Project: Old Bird
The "Old Birds" found on Artifice and Embrion are not wildlife. They are First-Generation Orbital Weapons created around 2130.
- The Coil-Head Connection: Old Birds emit bright lights and loud noises. This perfectly counters Coil-Heads (which freeze when watched). Lore suggests Old Birds were built to fight a Coil-Head infestation during the "Angan-Buok War".
- Artifice Incident: The colony on Artifice (Moon 68) was destroyed in 2356 not by monsters, but by a sudden activation of these mechs.
