Sorry about the short post last. The public needed to know. We are still on Religence, but I've finally got some time to record some of what I've been told.

The creatures broke through the planetary defense of Kyou. Those fuckers are smart. It seems they slowly worked their way into the government, infecting higher and higher ranking officials until they found those with the knowledge to pilot and run spacecraft. This includes the ship I am stationed on as well as orbital bombardment installations. The Space Corps thinks they might be a kind of hive-mind but it's hard to be sure.

Remember when I talked about the pants-shitting kind of terror you never know of until you experience it? This is similar. Except it's not pants-shitting terror and more of an existential dread that creeps into the back of your mind and sends shivers down your spine.

My wife is with me, at least. Whatever God or gods exist, if they do, they have granted me this one boon.

The captain thinks we'll be at Religence for a while if not semi-permanently. The military has gone almost full lockdown until we know how wide-spread the virus has gotten. There still hasn't been a name released for the creatures yet. We need something to call them, though. We can't just keep referring to them as fuckers. There are more than one type of fucker in The Black.
