In light of recent events, I believe we're past due for more information gathering.

First, I'd like to discuss the tower we encountered last month. There were... interesting messages scrawled across its surface, which I thankfully wrote down before its destruction.

They read:

"This remnant-

Carved from [...] First Impact Remains [...]

Meant to be left alone. The Tears used it in their ritual-

Now it's out of control, changing everything it can"

The Convoy Database regards the Silver Tears as effectively the antithesis of the Steel Wardens. Reverent to the moon and its "blessings" (the transformations). I've no doubt they're the ones behind the scattered shrines we encountered some months prior...

And, obviously, we're well acquainted with those wretched Wardens, with their hypocritical obsession with "purging" this world of monsters.

The words "First Impact" stick out to me as significant. I actually spoke with Blake-san about it as well, and she encountered similar mentions of an impact in scavenged books that had a great deal of information scrubbed clean.

There is clearly something that one of the factions does not want us to discover. Given my previous findings, we know that something of significance was broken in two, that the moon goddess suffers in anguish, and a ritual failed, with us as replacement participants to "share her pain" and "put the ritual right."

But now, thanks to that sagebrush, some of us have been gifted with visions, and I believe that if we share our findings, we can come closer to the truth.

In my case, I witnessed a woman dispatching a monster before turning to panicked civilians and murdering one of them in cold blood. Presumably, she went on to kill the rest of them, but the vision ended there.

For the sake of this post, I believe the most pertinent information is:

• Where you had the vision.
• The description of the vision...

An optional detail:

• The object that sparked the vision.

Mine was in the battleground, and the vision came as I tried ripping the sword from a fallen cyborg's hand.

Location: The hospital
Object of interaction: A broken screen that had fallen in a hallway
Details: A person (male) dressed in a laboratory coat (possibly a doctor or researcher) overseeing a body that is being encased in metal. His hands are clawed to the point of being unable to hold his instruments.

The body is still as if dead or otherwise immobilised.

Location: The Convoy
Object of interaction: The Convoy's database
Details: A message appeared in my mind. "You carry the last prayer for Nirvana." The words were not spoken, so there are no identifying traits to the message's source.

[Two memories... Well, isn't that interesting? And so enlightening, too.]

So the scientist had already transformed. Presumably, the other was in the process of transforming into a Husk... Curious.

I have to wonder if that second message was directed at us or the Convoy itself. Either way, that's rather ominous.

Did you spend any time in the hospital? Some of the scanners were still active. The reading when I passed through one was "Infected."

Oh, I'm aware.

I nearly got ensnared by the machinery that sought to sedate and capture me. It was a rather frustrating experience.
