NOTE: Document has been translated into English for readability using Mark II translation software, removing certain Rikti language artifacts. Log appears to be a psychological evaluation of the Rikti special operative ████ █████ by an unknown Rikti examiner, following an unspecified act of insubordination by said operative.

Sounds of [REDACTED] are audible, increasing in volume for a period of four seconds, punctuated by the sounds of Rikti energy weaponry being discharged ██ times with no discernable effect or change in [REDACTED].
EXAMINER: Unexpected Occurrence: ████ █████ Unrestrained! Prisoner Containment: Breached! Urgent Backup: Requi- UUAAAUUUGH!
Voice cuts off with a scream as a new sound is heard. Auditory analysis indicates a 94% similarity to rapid ice crystallization of soft biological tissues. Fourteen seconds of silence follow before two new voices (designated █████-01 and █████-02) are heard, speaking in English.
█████-01: Let's face it. None of you ever had a chance of containing me. I'm done with your stupid cause anyway. (Auditory analysis indicates that the voice of █████-01 is a 83% match to current Vanguard operative [REDACTED]. Subject denies any involvement in incident.)
█████-02: That's right. I'm on to bigger and better things! You sorry old bastards would just slow me down anyway. Oooh, and I should take this with me as a souvenir! (Auditory analysis indicates that the voice of █████-02 is a 97% match to current Vanguard operative [REDACTED]. Subject denies any involvement in incident.)
Sounds of shattering ice crystals are heard, followed by a sharp snapping sound and [REDACTED], consistent with the density of Rikti alloy powered armor.
█████-02: Thanks for lending me a hand, pal! *laughter* Catch you on the flipside!
A high-pitched crackling sound consistent with extreme heat on Rikti ship bulkheads is heard at this point on the tape for approximately two seconds before the recording ends abruptly.
