Event Logs
Below is a condensed summery of notable events that occurred during the discovery and testing of what has since come to be known as 'The Dream Dimension' and its native inhabitant 'The Dream Spirit.' Testing has been put on indefinite suspension following Event E039 and Incident 02.

Names, dates, and locations have been omitted.

[PENDING DECLASSIFICATION]

E000 - Discovery of Artifact 09 -   (200█/04/22)
Following a pattern of spikes in the EM Field near the newly constructed Northern Wolvengarde Station, ██████, 4█° ██' N 7█° █' W, the Wolvengarde organization was contracted by local authorities to determine the cause of the electromagnetic disturbances. An expedition was conducted by Wolvengarde's Research and Development department, spearheaded by Dr. ███████ and assisted by █████. Upon the arrival of forces to the area, the source was determined to be a singular (1) Smooth Cayenne Pineapple (ananas cosomus) measuring 18x26 cm, 2.5 kg, and emitting 4 MW of 35 EHz shortwave electromagnetic energy. The pineapple (designated Artifact 09) was found partially buried in a snowy field in ██████, ██████; ██ km Southwest of Northern Wolvengarde Station.

An immediate quarantine zone was established and civilians and unauthorized personnel in a 10 km radius were evacuated, citing concerns of dangerous levels of ionizing radiation.

E001 - Incident 01 and Discovery of The Anomaly -   (200█/04/31)
Following approval from intergovernmental organizations, the perimeter was expanded into areas 1-16A and 1-8B surrounding the epicentre 1C in a polar grid. A temporary research station was erected in Area 4B to study the dangers and potential uses of Artifact 09. The perimeter was secured and patrolled by two (2) members of Wolvengarde's Security Team and fourteen (14) individuals contracted by WVG PMC under the supervision of ██████.

On the morning of 200█/04/31 during the construction and planning of a permanent research facility, at approximately 06:10, a sudden burst of shortwave electromagnetic energy overloaded nearby detectors and disabled unprotected electronic equipment within Areas 1-8B, 6A, and 12A; and permanently damaging equipment and injuring personnel in Area 1C. The cause of the incident is unknown. In the aftermath of the incident, Artifact 09 was determined to have been lost during the electromagnetic outburst. Left in the place of the artifact was a persistent visual phenomenon described by Dr. ███████ as a localized auroral light. The phenomenon was designated The Anomaly.

E003 - Further Testing of The Anomaly -   (200█/05/03)
Further tests of the anomaly revealed that it contained a field of expanded space within the 'curtains' of light. The space could be traversed by passing directly through the anomaly. Several tests were conducted using remotely operated rover land vehicles, with varying degrees of success. Very few data came back intelligible, with most images distorted from sensor saturation. The reclaimed data confirmed that the expanded space was much larger than initially theorized, with no clearly defined or detectable boundaries. The area within was described as a white void, with pockets of distant color. The area within the anomaly was designated Dimension 2 and a lengthy manned-expedition to the other side was proposed as part of the continuing research effort.

E025 - Expedition To Dimension 2 -   (200█/09/01)
After months of preparation, the first expedition to Dimension 2 was conducted. The expedition was lead by Dr. ██████ and accompanied by ██████ and two (2) individuals contracted by WVG PMC.

The expedition group (designated Distant Horizons) departed through the anomaly at 05:00 on 200█/09/01 and returned seven (7) minutes, fifteen (15) seconds later. Two (2) PMC crewmembers were declared MIA: Pfc. ██████ and Cpl. ██████. The remaining crew were unharmed.

The following audio logs recount the expedition group's experience within Dimension 2, and spans a time frame of one (1) hour: Distant Horizons Expedition Audio Log Transcript -

[BEGIN LOG] - 00:00:00

CPL: I didn't think they'd put us in damn space suits.

Dr. ██████: They are atmospheric-regulation and CBRN suits. CARBN for short. They should protect you from whatever environmental dangers await us on the other side.

PFC: Hey, Doc. The brief said you guys don't know what's on the other side, so why are they sending us in and not some drone? Or that blue robot chick you guys have.

Dr. ██████: This project is overseen entirely by the organization's R&D department, we do not have the time or resources to restation other Wolvengarde members. And as for drones, the data our unmanned vehicles send back is unintelligible at best and nonsensical at worst. We expect severe electronic interference, and as such, we need reliable and organic eyes to report findings within the anomaly.

SIREN BLARES

Intercom Voice: [UNINTELLIGIBLE]

██████: Well, here goes nothing.

Distant Horizons enters the anomaly at 05:01

[END LOG] -

[BEGIN LOG] - 00:01:08

RADIO STATIC

PFC: That's fucking bright!

██████: Intriguing. It's some kind of city?

PFC [struggling]: Looks almost like ███ ████.

CPL [over radio]: Nominal. Delta Hotel has breached the anomaly. Systems online. We are experiencing some interference over coms. Confirm, HQ.

SILENCE

CPL [over radio]: HQ, please copy.

RADIO STATIC GROWS LOUDER

CPL: Looks like we're on our own. Stick to the mission, we'll exit the anomaly at oh six hundred.

PFC: Fucking perfect...

SILENCE

PFC: Hey, where are all the people? The streets are empty.

Dr. ██████: I suspect there are no people. Not unless others got here before us.

██████: I've secured the tether. Let's keep moving.

[END LOG] -

[BEGIN LOG] - 00:23:55

CPL: Stop. Hold it. Contact ahead, one o'clock.

PFC: It's a person.

CPL: Move, forward thirty meters. Pocket-protectors, stay here.

Dr. ██████: You know we technically hired you...

PFC ██████ and CPL ██████ leave the audible range of Dr. ██████ and ██████.

PFC: Should we hail it?

CPL [shouting]: Citizen, state your name and business.

SILENCE

PFC: Oh what the fuck? What's wrong with its face?

CPL [shouting]: I will ask you again. State your name and business.

PFC: What if it doesn't speak English?

NO RESPONSE

CPL: Withdraw, Private. Contact is unresponsive.

PFC ██████ and CPL ██████ reenter the audible range of Dr. ██████ and ██████.

Dr. ██████: Good work King Arthur, did it tell you where the Holy Grail is?

CPL: I don't need the attitude, poindexter. The contact was unresponsive. It had severe facial deformities.

██████: Deformities like?

PFC: Like it didn't have all its features. Its eyebrows were just one solid color, it didn't have pores, its nose shape kept changing. It's like someone vaguely described a face to a police sketch artist then God said 'good enough.'

Dr. ██████: Interesting assessment.

CPL: Keep an eye out for any more of those things.

[END LOG] -

[BEGIN LOG] - 00:31:09

PFC: What's happening?

██████: The sky is getting brighter? No, environment appears to be fading.

CPL: Hold on to something, Private.

Dr. ██████: The whole place is vanishing, I don't think there will be anything left to hold onto.

PFC: What's going on? Where are we? Everything's white.

██████: We're in the same place, just the city is gone... A white void, just like the images we got back from the rover. It seems the data deserves another analysis.

CPL: I've spotted something. Another environment in the distance. Five hundred meters, eight o'clock.

██████: Fascinating. It appears these environments are self-contained within some kind of bubble. Like a microcosm of regions from our reality.

Dr. ██████: Corporal, if we aren't already too far from the anomaly, I would like to get a closer look.

[END LOG] -

[BEGIN LOG] - 00:37:41

██████: That looks like medieval architecture inside. Definitely pre-renaissance era.

Dr. ██████: Do you think we could traverse the outer dome?

██████: Only one way to find out.

CPL: Do they put something in those lab coats to make you crazy or are all pencil pushers just born with a death wish?

PFC: It looks like a giant soap bubble. I'm going through.

An abrupt cacophony of shouting and clanging overwhelms the recording

CPL [shouting]: I think we just walked-in on a damn war!

Dr. ██████ [shouting]: I wonder if these are historical moments in time, frozen and replayed for eternity.

A distant bestial roar can be heard

PFC [shouting]: Is that-

CPL [shouting]: I don't recall there being goddamn dragons in the history books.

RUMBLING

CPL [shouting]: Delta Hotel, this just became a dangerous situation, I am assuming control over the mission! We are returning to the anomaly immediately!

RUMBLING CONTINUES

Dr. ██████ [shouting]: Corporal!

CPL [shouting]: Private! Get the fuck out of there, the ground is unstable!

[UNINTELLIGIBLE]

CPL [shouting]: Private! For fucks sake-

Dr. ██████ [shouting]: Corporal, leave him!

A large cracking is heard

CPL [shouting]: Get out of the damn bubble!

The various noises cut out

SILENCE

██████: What do we do?

Dr. ██████: Not much we can do. The whole environment became a bottomless pit.

Dr. ██████ reported that at this point the environment faded inaudibly and disappeared

██████: The hour is almost up, we need to get back to the anomaly.
