My fellow citizens of Beacon...
The recent visits by spirits appear to have been fruitful, in the sense that some of us have learned new things about this world and the past. If you have something valuable to share, I encourage you to speak up. I am less concerned about network security these days so we need not purposefully meet in person. I should like to know what you all know, and in turn, I have some disturbing news of my own.
The spirit who met me...I believe, strongly, was actually one of my own people, from my world. A foe, in the past, whose death impacted me personally. I have no evidence aside from the sensations of his thoughts, which in the dream state is hard to be sure is real, but my experience is difficult to interpret any other way. This means that the spirits are not just the former residents of Beacon from before the darkness, they are also...us. Our own. Others like us who were brought here upon death and forced to try to rectify the situation before it's too late. It is very likely that in time, we too will become masked spirits.
Hence, 'what is death to a dead thing?' Their deaths brought them here, and the world turned them into what we see.
[a long pause. Not because the rest is difficult but because that's such a heavy thought and he's not managing it well]
Additionally, through his memory of still being human, I have discovered the location of some sort of bunker, a storage space hidden behind a thick metal door. The 'plutonium' that the Night Market wanted so badly is apparently kept there. If the Wild Hunt is no longer a threat, it may be safe to mount an expedition to recover it, I have the location written down as I remember it being given to my mind. However, I think the more urgent and prudent expedition should be to Helix Station, if Weaver would be so kind as to transport us. I will have plans made to leave within two days of now. Do let me know if you wish to join me, I have already spoken to some but would like to settle it.
Please, share with me what you have all learned.

Master Daylight's description was far too gentle.
I understand now the hesitation toward using such a weapon on a living world. But if it becomes the only one that can even slow down a fully-grown World Eater...well. That will become a nasty decision to have to make someday.

Yes well, there's a reason they're almost universally banned in my time. Here's hoping we find something useful that doesn't require us to make that choice.
