Null and Void: Log Six - Corrective Actions

Transcript of the sixth recovered log. Found at Site 237-A, Sector G.

(Video begins, view panning wildly as Ruck comes into frame. He sets the camera down, the view looking up at him. He has his eyes forward, but looks down at the camera as he speaks.)

If I have to suffer through this, whoever is watching is too. This roaking robot has me in orientation...again.

(Bok's synthetic voice warbles from somewhere off camera.)

Radruk'gren, do you have the performance recording equipment operational?

Yeah. One hundred percent, Bok. Recording and ready to go. Are we going over identifying ores again?

Negative, Radruk'gren. We are here to discuss the severe production performance of the crew.

Do what now?

I took it upon myself to review the logs dating back to when the crew came to Jargun-Ba and noted that in the fifteen days since arriving, the crew has mined 0.00% of its quota. This means with a daily quota of 96.4 metric tons, the crew is currently 1,446 metric tons behind schedule. This is unacceptable and requires supplementary training materials and possibly corrective action.

Hey, gears for brains, I don't know if you noticed, but I'm the only one here.

When a member of the crew is unable to perform their duties, the remaining members of the crew are responsible for the even distribution of that member's quota. This means that as the sole member of the crew, you are responsible for mining and processing 96.4 metric tons of ore per day. Although adjusted for even distribution over your three-month tenure, you will be required to mine 112.47 tons per day or face serious penalties.

(Ruck's eyes widen.)

You're off your fucking programming, Bok.

(There's a sharp popping sound, and the camera glitches into static as blue-white electricity arcs from Bok's arm and into Ruck's chest. He falls out of view, and moans can be heard. The camera shifts and Bok comes into view.)

Performance improvement consultation will have to be paused until Radruck'gren regains consciousness.

(Video cuts out)
