[BEGIN TECH LOG – INCIDENT ID #M6753]

Alright, I don’t know what to file this under, so I’m logging it here in case it comes back to bite me.

We received a sealed vault container on Load Route 4C at 02:40.  

Manifest lists contents as “Industrial Sensor Assemblies – Legacy Pattern 8057-A.”

But here’s the thing:

 - The vault is military-grade, black-coded, three-step biometric lock

 - The tag string “8057-A” matches nothing in the RODEN archive

 - The internal weight is **off**—feels denser than any sensor unit I’ve handled

 - It’s warm

I flagged the serial for Concordic cross-check, and guess what?  

The validation bounced. Came back tagged:  

> “DO NOT TRACE // GREY-LEVEL INTERLOCK”

That’s not a thing I’m supposed to be able to read. But the message was burned right into the rejection.

I pinged my supervisor. He told me to shut up and move it to Cold Storage 6 and never mention it again.

So I didn’t.  

Except for here.

I know this isn’t supposed to be my concern.  

I lift boxes. I route tubes. I go home.

But “8057”… I’ve seen that number twice before.  

Once in a pirate manifest tagged “Terran alloy.”  

And once on a transmission from my cousin who works Scope field ops.  

She died three days ago. “Sensor malfunction,” they said.

I’m not going to ask questions.

But someone should.
