First Contact: Misty secret of Vänern, Orbit Log Chapter _17🦞

Clearance Level: Core Seekers

When Mika Nordson joined the Foundryon Relic Hunt in 2025, few anticipated how quickly he would become essential to Mission Control. Trained by years of studying anomalous relic patterns and galactic fossils, Mika developed a reputation for noticing what others dismissed. His reports were always quiet, precise, and disturbingly accurate.

The Signal

It came from western Sweden, in a region shaped by glacial memory, ancient farmland, and the quiet gravity of forgotten history. Not far from the old stone grounds of Varnhem Abbey and the misted shorelines of Vänern, Mika detected an anomaly embedded in compacted sediment beneath a shallow moraine ridge. The area has long been known for Iron Age remains and Viking-era traces, yet this find belonged to no known human timeline.

The object was small but dense. Weight approximately one kilogram. Length twenty centimeters. Width nine centimeters. Its form resembled a crustacean, yet its segmentation, mineralization, and internal geometry did not align with any known evolutionary branch on Earth. No arthropod. No mollusk. No fossil lineage recognized by terrestrial taxonomy.

Mika initiated isolation protocol within minutes.

The specimen was sealed and transferred into a vacuum 3D containment chamber to prevent potential leakage of permafrost-preserved bacteria or dormant lifeforms. Early scans indicated internal structures not formed through biological accretion, but through layered compression inconsistent with planetary gravity models.

Early Classification

Mission Control classified it as a confirmed non-Earthly relic organism.

Now under the custody of the Swedish unit, the specimen is undergoing deep spectral analysis, microstructural tomography, and pressure memory testing. Mika remains on site, overseeing every phase personally.

His report concluded with a single line.

“This species did not evolve here. It arrived.”

Mission Control awaits the full data packet.
