Travel Log FR-01

A message to the current Freja from one of her previous, now deceased clones, found along the bottom of the Stage 1 spawn platform. This message still appears even if you are playing for the first time, implying (contrary to the MK number found above the rotating model of Freja in the Codex) that your playthroughs of the game are not the only canonical instances of Freja clones attempting to reach the beacon.

Unlike the other travel logs on Stages 2-4, the model displayed in the Codex when this travel log is being viewed is not a voice logging device, but the detached head of the original Freja, torn limb from limb during the initial crash of The Ouroboros.

Version 1
”Well. How do I introduce this?

If you’re reading this, hi. This is Freja Akiyama. I’m a Sec Runner for Shoraiteku Interstellar, and I’m completely, unbelievably screwed.

As far as I can tell, my situation is this; my ship - the Ouroboros, you’ve probably seen its burnt wreckage tastefully adorning the landscape - came into the atmosphere somewhere up there, and impacted into the side of this planet right about... here. From what I can tell, quite a big explosion followed, and then my crushed, dead, flailing body was thrown a couple of hundred feet, into a tree.

Luckily, my clone bay still works - hence the fresh, new me. Believe me, the old me is in no state to be writing this. Unluckily, the distress beacon - the only thing they guaranteed would make it out of a crash intact - is missing.

So, my only hope is to find and activate the beacon locator from the ship. That won’t be easy. It could have landed miles away from the crash site. It could have fallen off a cliff. It could be underwater.

I’m pretty sure other people don’t need to deal with these sorts of problems when they’re less than ten minutes old.”

Version 2
”Hey, Freja. Look, just bear with me here, but this is you writing this. Or, I guess, a cloned version of the original you. Because she died when the ship crashed into the side of this planet. Look, this is messed up, okay?

I’ve had a look around outside of the crash site, and I think I’ve started to get a handle on the situation. That’s why I’m writing this down. I’m hoping this will get you up to speed.

The ship is completely totalled, as you can probably see. The clone bay is still working - obviously - but pretty much everything else either is, or was, on fire. The ship’s distress beacon is gone too. It was gone by the time I came out, so I have no idea what happened to it. But listen, that thing is designed to survive crashes, so it’s got to still be operational. As of right now, I’m still getting a signal for it on the locater, so I’m going to follow that.

You’ll see soon enough, but it’s kind of a warzone out there. From where I’m standing, finding that beacon is literally our only hope to get us out of here. I’ve seen enough dead versions of us to realise that I’m probably not going to be the one to make it. To be completely honest, you probably aren’t either. But one of us will. We just have to keep going, okay? Keep trying.

Alright, nice pep talk. Good luck.”
