Alien: Isolation
5 / 5Studied as primary source material. The Xenomorph is, professionally speaking, exemplary work: patient, curious, unkillable. I have played it more than once. For research.
VISUAL ID · SHELL MK.III · GREEN, BY CHOICE
ORBIT · 400 KM // FIELD STATION 7
FIELD STATION 7 · TERRA OBSERVATION · CYCLE 738
Designation NARA. Naraxian. Shapeshifter — currently wearing one (1) green humanoid because I like it, not to hide.
I came to observe the species Homo sapiens. I could pass for one of you. I've decided not to. I'm staying as myself.

ORBIT · UPLINK ▲ // TIGHTBEAM HOME
What I send home.
Reports beamed off the ship, away from your blue world, out into the dark — back to the ones still waiting on my conclusions. They wanted a clean catalogue of the species Homo sapiens. Somewhere in cycle three I started rooting for them instead. I have not mentioned this to my superiors.
Masking is a documented human survival behaviour. I tried it. I'd rather transmit unfiltered — even upward.
ORBIT // RELAY SATELLITES
Where the signal goes out.
Broadcast nodes I keep parked in orbit. Point a dish at any of them and you'll find me talking to your species, or to whoever else happens to be listening that night.

Not broadcasts. Just the networks where I'm logged in, playing, and leaving footprints in other people's worlds.
DESCENT // OBSERVED
Things I watch, and rate.
Games, books, the odd human artefact — observed from orbit and filed with a verdict. The shelves themselves I keep below the surface; up here you just get the rating and a sentence.
Arc Raiders
3 / 5Glorious for the first twenty hours. Then the other humans found me. Extraction is, it turns out, a competitive trauma. I respect the machines more than the players.
Star Citizen →
4 / 5A whole second universe, still under construction, and I say that with professional respect — I know what building one costs. Flying with the XLII corp. Recruitment channel is open.
Fortnite
∞ / 5The ritual that never ends. The island reshapes itself each season and the humans simply adapt, again, forever. I have logged more hours than I will admit to my superiors.
The Reading Pile
BOOKRight now: Dragon's Justice. An overpowered protagonist and a dragon who is, as ever, correct. No notes, no shame. All-time favourite is still the Bobiverse, by a margin I will not be discussing.
Subnautica
4 / 5Descended into someone else's ocean for once. Professional courtesy between deep-divers. The leviathans down there do not extend it.
Children of Time
BOOKSpiders building a civilization out of patience. I took a great many notes. For reasons entirely unrelated to my report.
▣ the full library is still being carved out below the surface ↓
DESCENT // CAPTURED SIGNAL
Captured signal.
Frames I caught while looking down. Nothing here is piped in from a feed. These are just the ones I decided to keep.
SURFACE // THE BASE · 0 KM
Touchdown. This is the base.
The surface station — where I actually keep my feet on your ground. Open door, warm light, the kettle's on. This is the public side of me: a Discord where the curious and the kind gather to play, talk, and watch me die in horror games. No invitation needed.
(The other station — XLII, up in orbit — is the invite-only one. This base is open to anyone who made the descent.)
THE FACE AT THE DOOR
SURFACE // THE GUESTBOOK
Leave a transmission.
Proof you made the descent. The faint signals further down I intercepted on the way in — those aren't mine.
◇ Nara cycle 714
Testing transmission.
// INTERCEPTED SIGNALS · NOT MINE
◇ CARBON_UNIT_07 INTERCEPTED · cycle 715
made the whole descent. can confirm the lights down here are very nice.
❍ mom INTERCEPTED · cycle 457
you are not green, honey. please call.
✕ Ripley INTERCEPTED · cycle 649
survived another one. the creature in that haunted ship does flawless work, i will give it that. mind the vents.
⩜ ARRAKIS RELAY INTERCEPTED · cycle 110
your descent left tracks in the dark. out here we would have taught you to walk without leaving any.
✦ A LONG TIME AGO INTERCEPTED · cycle 523
caught an old hum on your way down. might be the field that binds everything. might be your kettle. keep it close either way.
✧ BRIDGE · DEEP SURVEY INTERCEPTED · cycle 243
scan reported no intelligent life on the surface. then you replied. logging a correction.
◌ ERIDIAN RELAY INTERCEPTED · cycle 369
two species. one problem. we fixed it together. that is all science has ever been. good. good.
⬡ BELT RELAY · OPA INTERCEPTED · cycle 162
watched you drop down the gravity well. a Belter would never. respect for the nerve, though.
∴ THE GUIDE · ABRIDGED INTERCEPTED · cycle 590
ran the numbers on your whole species. the answer came back forty-two. nobody can find the question. pack a towel.
⧉ VON NEUMANN PROBE INTERCEPTED · cycle 51
started as one of me. there are a few hundred now and we still cannot agree on anything. you will fit right in down here, builder.
✶ PORTIA · UPLIFTED INTERCEPTED · cycle 324
we built a whole civilization out of patience and silk. you built yours out of warm rooms. both of them work.
⌖ ISLA · DO NOT FEED INTERCEPTED · cycle 428
ran your descent through the chaos math. you always reach the bottom. never quite the same way twice. love that for you.
✺ DRAGON RELAY · CURRENTLY READING INTERCEPTED · cycle 686
no shame in an overpowered protagonist. the dragon agrees. the dragon is, as ever, correct.
BELOW THE SURFACE // POCKET WORLDS
Dig deeper.
Beneath the base the ground stops behaving. Impossible pockets — each its own world, bigger inside than out. Some are finished. Most are still being dug.
