Subj: ATTN URGENT NOTICE

Marines, we are under attack by an unknown type of bioweapon. They have reached every area in the ship, possibly through some means of teleportation. We do not know whether they are originating from the ship itself or Epsilon Eridani F.

Some of the key systems of the Atlas, such as power, security, network access and the engine itself have been sabotaged by an unknown party. Our only chance of survival is to recapture the bridge and deploy a message probe to Station Justice in the Wolf 359 system.

If you have just arrived on the Atlas you will need to immediately make your way to the Cargo Hull in the maintenance quadrant. There, we will regroup and prepare to mount an offensive to recapture the bridge. The bioweapons are extremely hostile but are vulnerable to our weaponry. Stick together, be vigilant, and if you find any survivors take them with you. 

I will stay in contact over email, which appears to be the only communication channel still active.
