Cdr. Amyus Bale - Personal log - 6 June

The autopsy report on that thing our strike team brought back from Tijuana is troubling.

It reads like the kind of thing I might have envisaged chronicling in SPACE MARINE - speculative theories about "mechanical organisms", "alternative biochemical systems based on the silicon atom".  Even the name they've designated, the "Cyberdisc", is pure sci-fi shtick.

There's little solid to go on.  Like the aliens' hand weapons, the Cyberdisc was rigged to self-destruct after being taken down, so its insides were mostly slag.  The labcoats want a live one, of course.

There is a silver lining, of a sort.  A number of repair drones were brought back along with the 'disc and Engineering things we might be able to repurpose these to aid us in the field.  As long as we can bring one back still functional, of course.
