OVERVIEW: Non-functioning overall. Bio-Computational Core functional, but unresponsive. Digital Core severely compromised. Power grid compromised. Solar resource grid functional.
BIO-COMPUTATIONAL CORE STATE:
Receiving Core: Core sustained massive ██████ and mutation consistent with ███████████ However, core is still functional. Neighbor cells divided and mutated to replace destroyed cells, including ██████████████████████████████████████████████████ ████████████████████████████████████████████
Translation Core: Functional, but unresponsive. Several computational cells divided and appear to have mutated during incident. Mutated cells displaying characteristics that may enhance translation speed by up to ██%.
Solar Resource Grid: Functional. Chloroplast output stable.
DIGITAL CORE STATE:
Output-Transition Core: Non-functional. All digital link components sustained heavy damage during incident. Most require replacement.
Digital Power Grid: Non-functional. Grid sustained surge of ███MV during incident, melting majority of parts.

INCIDENT REPORT: Device started receiving abnormal transmissions at 19:36:43:23 during protracted receiving state on 07/25/2019. Translation to twitch.tv video signal successful at 70% effectiveness. From then until 19:41:24:05 translation degraded further to 25% effectiveness. At this point the device monitor detected high levels of ████ radiation concentrated around the transmission receive apparatus, along with a sudden shift in origin signal. Date code for the signal was still ██/██/49 but the entire signal was ███████████████████ which the translation core devoted approximately 9█% of total solar resource grid output to translating as video signal. Translation was successful, but only ██ frames were recovered.
CONCLUSION: Device will be offline and unable to receive for approximately seven (7) days while repairs are performed upon crucial components. During this time the transmission receive apparatus is to be closely monitored for signs of contact, especially ███████████████████. It is quite possible that in the final moments of the transmission our SPORE device was connected to another potential timeline in accordance with the statements made by Patrick Jagoda’s 2049 counterpart. █████████ was saved by the transmission core, and so it will likely be possible for transmission to resume from this “new world” once repairs are complete.
ENGINEER’S NOTE: I wonder if the device we built is too small. I mean, the whole thing fits on a tabletop and it looks so fragile. We pretend like we know what the components do, talking of transmission and translation cores, but, really, we have no idea how the device works specifically. We know the general function of some parts, and that it combines biological and technological processes, but other than that we’re really flying blind here. Maybe the blueprints came through wrong; maybe everything was supposed to be bigger, more robust. We have to repair it the best we can every few transmissions. At least we don’t have to repair the plant components. I don’t even know how we managed to build those once, but I understand why they use them in the future. Those things are robust. This last transmission hit them pretty hard and the ones that didn’t die just got stronger, compensated for the others. I just hope we can get it back online. I doubt anyone here would want Jagoda’s counterpart to have sacrificed himself for nothing.
