An antenna found atop a dirigible.
A strange device uncovered in its cargo hold.
A message from the past playing on loudspeakers, an unnaturally deep barely intelligible voice playing at painfully slow speeds.

Chaos and anarchy ... taken over the station ... ordered abandon ship... afraid Its too late. We ... trapped.

Who would have thought ... tasking a bunch of maniacs ... solving our ballast problems ... utter disaster?

... crew of the HHS Crescent, ... anomaly research vessel ... offered station administration ... cryptid containment ray ... shrink down our overstacked storage ... fraction ... size, ... reduce its weight.

... 700 tons of cinnamon flavored biscuits ... company headquarters ... speculative frenzy ... now only weight a mere 2 tons, ... gaining altitude again.

Dazzled by their techno-babble, ... approved of project ... terrible mistake.

... biscuits ... exploded ... sugary cinnamon flakes ... charged airborne particlets ... panicked ... boarding ships ... attempting to ecape ... engines failing ... everything grew large around us ... time flow ... minutes turn days ... plumes of spactime altering cinnamon.

If you can hear this ... whatever you do ... destroy the device ... help us .. safe from ... cryptids roaming station.

... worry about us ... tiny ships ... at least we are not hungry.

Massive cloudwave shook the station last night. Damage to helium condensers C, F, and O. Crew losses minimal. Previous harbormaster missing in action. Now assuming command of the station. Derigible bay off-limits to all visitors until further notice.

Losing altitude due to leaks caused by small arms fire on continent below.

Letter sent to company headquarters requesting funds for repairs.
