-Audio log begins-

* A door can be heard opening and closing, followed by footsteps*

General 'Smith': At ease, corporal.

* A chair can be heard scraping on the floor*

General 'Smith': I assume you know why you're here?

Corporal 'Jones': Yes, sir.

General 'Smith': Good, good. So, what happened the night of the incident?

Corporal 'Jones': Well, I was in the infirmary, as per usual, when suddenly I hear this loud explosion from outside. Me and one of the other medics run out to see what happened when we see this huge orange fireball down the end of the runway. Naturally, we run to it to see if anyone was hurt. That's when I noticed something... strange about it.

General 'Smith': What do you mean by 'strange'?

Corporal 'Jones': Well the fire was a bright orange, but it slowly changed to green. And the fire had no heat at all. None. It wasn't warm, it wasn't cold. It was just. Hmm. It was like a, uhh, hologram, I guess. Also what struck me as odd was the fact that there appeared to be no clear cause of the fire. No vehicles, no chemicals, nothing. It's like this fire was just an optical illusion.

General 'Smith': Hmm, interesting. Well what happened after you got there?

Corporal 'Jones': Well after we got there we found a man lying on the ground. He was conscious but covered in burns. We're talking about third - fourth degree burns here. So realising we were idiots and didn't bring and medical supplies with us, I ran back to the infirmary to get some. I did that and by the time I got back the firefighters were there. They weren't dousing the flames like they should've. I just shrugged it off and went back to the patient. I tried my best to help him, but then again there's not much I could do. They stuck him in a car and drove him to the hospital six miles away. So I was stuck there next to a heatless fire with a bunch of lazy firefighters when something caught my eye. Over the swamp was a bright light about a mile away. I thought nothing of it and just returned to the infirmary, as there was nothing else to do there.

General 'Smith': What happened next, do you know?

Corporal 'Jones': Well I was in the infirmary and three guys came in two with horrible flesh wounds. The third guy, sergeant [redacted], I think it was. Anyway he said they were attacked by an alligator while investigating the swamp. I realise there's not much that we could do on base, so I got them into a car and drove them down to the hospital. When I got to the hospital I got them a doctor who could help. And I also found out about our burn patient from earlier.

General 'Smith': What happened to him?

Corporal 'Jones': He died of radiation poisoning. Estimated time of death was ten minutes before the explosion.

General 'Smith': What? He died before the fire, before you reached him?

Corporal 'Jones': Yeah, that's what really does my head in.

General 'Smith': And you're sure he was conscious when you found him.

Corporal 'Jones': Yes.

General 'Smith': Hmm, very strange indeed. Well, continue on, if you please.

Corporal 'Jones': That's pretty much all I know. Other than the fact that some of the security guys who went to investigate the lights over the swamp disappeared.

General 'Smith': Well if that's all you know, then thank you. You are free to leave now, corporal.

Corporal 'Jones': Thank you, sir!

* The sound of footsteps can be heard, followed by the opening and closing of a door*
