This is Commander John Shepard, of the Normandy. During training, we were advised to keep these personal Codex entries, as a record for the the ship, and the Council, in the event of death. Doctor Chakwas recommends using a personal Codex as a way to cope and manage the stresses of the job. Don't know if I believe that, but we'll see how it goes.
The Normandy is a good ship. Good people. Reckless people, which is something we're going to need to fix, but good people. I need to keep my eye on Joker and Jenkins. They've got a little TOO much fire in them, and I fear that it'll make them reckless, and cause them to make a mistake. You can't want to be a hero. Playing a hero is how you get killed. You need to want to survive. Mission. Survival. Then valor.
Our mission is to go to [REDACTED] and [REDACTED]. This mission is of the utmost importance, as it could mark a monumental step forward for humanity. This mission is also serving as a sort of Performance Review by the Council, who have sent the [REDACTED] to oversee the mission from the field. [REDACTED] seems capable, and any help we can get recovering this relic for the Council is appreciated.

Jenkins is dead. [REDACTED] are invading. [REDACTED] dead. Survivor Chief Ashley Williams recruited. Taking cargo tram to a landing platform to try to recover the [REDACTED], pursuing [REDACTED] killer. [REDACTED]

I'm back on the Normandy... I don't know what happened, but I'm alive. Chief Williams has been reassigned to our crew. She proved herself a capable soldier and should be an asset to the team. And... Jenkins. [REDACTED]. I couldn't take time to properly grieve their deaths in the field. There's no telling what the official record will say for them, but the least I can do is remember them here.
Jenkins - You were the victim of the circumstance. We were taken by surprise by those synthetic bastards. Please take some solace in the fact that you didn't see what they did to the other humans of [REDACTED]. That you didn't see them turned into those monstrosities.
[REDACTED] - Thank you for the work you had done on behalf of the Council, and for assisting us on this mission. I am sorry we weren't able to capture [REDACTED].
My head still hurts from these weird visions... or wee they dreams? Full of death and destruction. What can it all mean?
