25 of December, the year of our Lord 1876:

Our party discovered the chest we were sailing for. Everyone who had contact is dead, save myself. I am going to make my way towards to gunpowder magazine and blow this place to hell

Those that had contact with the box, insanity has taken them, I surmise. It happened so fast. They became like the undead…

This is the final log of Kavin McGreed:

Stranded in the last tower….Please forgive my handwriting. They are at the door. All of my friends have succumbed to the plague. I've locked myself in.

They speak a language I don't understand…

I'm sending this note on carrier pigeon in hopes that someone finds this. I am going to ignite the magazine at the post. Tell my wife I love her. God be with me.

Corp Hawkins notes, 5/11/04:

My unit stumbled upon some artifact while on patrol in Afghanistan. Performing some preliminary tests on the box.

Corp Hawkins notes, 5/13/04:
A fever has taken over my mates. I can't help them with my gear. Radio'd the surgeon.

5/14/04:
Situation critical. They only respond to fire that we can tell… almost overrun… going to blow the entire site. Tell my children I love them.

Transmission terminiated.
