We have made it to the third Octagon, and I am starting to understand this 'Maze'. The catacombs are obviously of builder design, but their intent has till now eluded me. I now believe these rooms compromise a Builder IQ test; builders were fed through these tests to rank and strengthen certain mental abilities. How these rooms were used in the context of their society remain a mystery, however. By the gods, they couldn't have been as brutal as they have become. We have lost Tufort, Smith, Lu, and Beaufort. Gumbo is malfunctioning, but repair circuitry seems to be compensating. Our equipment is lost, our rations low, our weapons empty or broken. We cannot conceivably make it back out the way we came in. Thus we have decided to continue on into the next 'test'. Let the log show that I have promoted Ensign T. M. Morzit to Captain First Class. May the gods have mercy... -- Dr. Mary J.
