Entry 1: The Mugunghwa. Lost for centuries, now found in orbit around Antares B. No one has seen or heard of this ship for three hundred years. No communication, nothing.
What happened? I have been tasked to find out.
Entry 6: I have landed upon the ship and have made contact with two artificial life forms. The first of these is Hyun-ae. She is incredibly talkative and cheerful. The second has taken the name Mute. She was reportedly in charge of all security on the Mugunghwa. They have offered to help me scour the ships logs and keep me company. I tentatively accepted.
Entry 51: I have learned of an artifact with the help of Hyun-ae and Mute, A singular audio record that contains the emotional memories of all the crew. Titled simply Analogue, this record was seemingly produced by an entity named Very Ok Vinyl. More to follow.
Final Entry: This entire society’s history is in this one small disc. I have made numerous copies at the behest of my companions. They will be sent out into the world. I have deciphered a single phrase from the data logs: “Records are in hand, shipping now. Solid white single LP.” I know not what that means but I feel that it holds the key to everything.

All issues with items delivered must be brought to our attention within 21 days of the delivery date. Please include photos of the damaged products and packages. We are unable to accommodate requests beyond the 21-day window, or requests without provided photos, so please inspect and document your products when you receive them.

Orders outside Canada and the US are not returned to us, see above.
