LOG ENTRY 15.0.0

It was a long journey out to the edge of the galaxy; pretty much the middle of no where and on the edge of the longest shipping route; Jacob was in the ICC when we detected the Distress signal coming from a planet designated "2175 Aeia". After an hour of scanning we found the shipwreck and prepped the shuttle. Tali came along with me as usual, I hope I don't seem to be pushing her to come with me more often; I just find I can work with her better.

Supplemental 15.0.1

We are approaching the location now; the entire place is like a tropical island back on Earth, calm, serine and peaceful. So far away from civilisation.

We see the ship wreck and we are about to land now... Hopefully we find more than a handful of survivors.

Supplemental 15.1.0 (Ground Op)

Landing near the wreck we began to move through the foliage. A path had been made where numerous people have walked over the years. We found a VI that emitted out the Emergency beacon; we opened it up and it turned out it had been on for only a few months, and had been left off for 9 years. The VI also mentioned that the local foliage could not be eaten without "Neural Decay" occurring to those who ate it.

We are moving on now to see if we can find a settlement or anyone.

Supplemental 15.1.1

We found some locals, they seem to be acting as if they have a lower brain function or lack of spoken word; it seems the Neural decay had set in on these but it also seemed that some of them have reverted to some animalistic state, they attacked us. Although No women attacked us, this must be because males are naturally aggressive? the Scientists back on Earth would have a hay day on this world.

Supplemental 15.1.2

We fought through bodyguards and YMIR mechs that Ronald Taylor had set up, it seems that he had let his lesser crew eat the food here while the higher ranks ate the ships supply; but soon he ended up just storing all the food himself and once he ran out and the crew became aggressive, he called in for help.

He thought I was just another soldier and Jacob was a lackey, he didn't realise that Jacob was his son; well, not until I told him.. Jacob disowned his father and almost killed him until I stopped him, Ronald played King and now he will go to prison for it.

Supplemental 15.2.0 (Post Mission)

We called in Cerberus ships to come and take the crew for medical treatment while I headed out with Jacob to the Comms room, he wanted to ask Illusive man if he sent the message to him.. but it turns out it was Miranda; Illusive man's little pet. I really should have known it was here who gave Jacob the secret message.

Supplemental 15.2.1

Kelly told me I had a mail, so while I read it I called up Tali and Garrus to my quarters; they found her.... they found Normandy's crash site... SR1... the ship I died on... She landed in the planet we had been orbiting. We are going to head there once we head to Omega.
