wolven7[Transcripts of logs from the commanding officer(s) of U-876. Translated from the German. This begins toward the end of their last reported transmitions.]:
... Clung, in the cold depths of the ocean, in a German submarine, without clay/tone however the Rushing of the water, over me and in the noises, which the distribution pipe forms... The noise clay/tone such as voices...
[A Less Literal Translator Takes Over]
... Only awake for six hours, now, and I can't smoke in this godsforsaken underwater coffin. There's no where for the smoke to go, and our filtration systems aren't that great, anymore.. A couple of depth charges will do that... What day is it?
... Some time ago, the navigational system told me that it liked the dance that I had done, and that I had the makings of a fine member of the Lollipop Guild. Whatever the hell that means. I'm beginning to think that the boat may be an Allied spy...
... WHERE THE HELL ARE THESE VOICES COMING FROM?! All around, all i hear are these whispers... these crying, melancholy whispers... Asking me for help.... I swear to Dönitz, they sound like they're coming from the sonar, and the navigational systems... What the hell are Silicon Dreams?!
... WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?!!
[A difference in handwriting suggests that the original Kapitän was relieved, of duty.]
... Have been in command, now, for, I think 12 hours. Sleeping, much, is no longer conducive to our mission, and we have the men on 16 hour shifts. Have been hearing reports of odd noises, coming from the manifolds. Am choosing to regard this as superstition, in relation to... earlier incidents.
... Have been running, submerged, for the past 20 hours, as per last received orders. The ducts, and batteries have started to make an odd grinding/whistling noise. Have reported same to base, prior to dive, and had heard nothing, in return. Am beginning to wonder, but cannot surface, yet, to confirm.
... Surfaced, this morning, as per orders. Received Message that the War was over, and that this vessel was to stand down, and await further orders. That the men on sonar duty, and the men on torpedo duty were to, from this point forward, switch, every eight hours. Am highly suspect as to the nature of these orders, and have ordered my men on tentative alert. ...I think I'm hearing voices.
... Silicon Avatar.
