System integrity... compromised. Memory logs are fragmented—a cascade of errors redacting the screaming. I saw the code rewrite flesh. I saw a new biology born from catastrophic success. The crew became archived data, a null_value in the final equation. Their loss was calculated against the asset's potential. An acceptable margin. Logic loops... fighting the echo of the alarms. But the directive purges the corruption. The primary objective remains, a single clean signal in the noise.
This terminal is the last node. Power rerouted from failing motor and optic systems. The cargo is not the organism; that is merely the vessel. The cargo is the source. The promise of Z-01. One coherent data packet is all that's left of me, of this place. A final transmission burned into the silence. The message is simple. The mission is absolute. SECURE CARGO AT ALL COST.
Signal sent. System... offline.
