We were drilling near when we broke through a wall into a chamber that hadn't appeared on our scans.
Blasted magnesite - it blocks everything! Sensors, tricorders - they're all useless!
The chamber is large, and should be suitable for an expansion of the base. There were several spherical orbs in it. We have yet to determine the nature of these orbs, but Janek thinks they are "pretty." She kept one for her quarters.
I've asked for permission to study the orbs. They remind me of a Federation report I read once. I can't remember the details, but it was something about the Janus system ....
Journal Entry 846512
Ensign Crymin is dead. Hakeev ordered him to explore the tunnels. We found organic remains, and his fully-charged disruptor was nearby.
It looked like it had been ... melted.
I think we should wall off this section of the mine and not disturb the creature down here. Six people have already died. Five were miners, and therefore expendable, but Crymin showed promise. I know that in time he would have been a fine officer.
I've asked Colonel Hakeev to request reinforcements. If he's determined to kill people exploring this mine, let him kill recruits.
