~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) There have been repeated transmissions from Nero Command since your arrival. But I still can't get a lock on to the source. We must align the dish! Hurry! Time is of the essence. Leonidas

~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) Bad news. I mean.... Really bad news.

~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) It seems that your foolish band of humans on Station Nero have run into a problem- them and most of the human race. The Greens have suddenly retaliated in full force, transporting into almost every major Mark 3 Station in the galaxy. Station Nero, along with all other major relay stations, has been decimated. At the time of my attempted communication, there was no way to route a message to Sparta. Every major relay station from here to Gamma Proxima has been wiped out. The Greens know what they're doing... they've sacked all communications networks. The Space Navy's going to have a hell of a time launching a counter attack.

~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) In the mean time, it seems that our meager colony has gone unnoticed by the Greens, excluding the small scoutship that crashed here a few days ago. The navy thinks we're all dead, and they have no record of your survival, nor mine. Another sidenote---the Crimson Lamb has recovered one of the Myranium Crystals and they think that another one is on board a Greenie ship. Crimson Lamb is attacking ships in full force and the Greens are also bombarding Sparta with tactical nukes. It's an interstellar war out there. It doesn't look like you'll be going home anytime soon.

~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) But this presents us with a unique opportunity. As far as I can tell, we're the only surviving satellite station in the system, and we're still operational. I can only hope I didn't give away our little secret when I sent the distress signal to Nero. If they think that we're dead, they wouldn't expect us to fight back.

~~~~~1111~~~~ Colony^ AI active (----) My Plan? I suggest we play it cool for a while, considering that the universe is being destroyed all around us--- I'm going to transport you down into the scoutship that crashed here where you'll place a small explosive in the bridge. I have tried to beam in weapons and other supplies, but the magnetic field of the crashed ship has dispersed them throughout the scoutship. Just get inside and destroy it. That should take care of the rest of our problems planetside. Leonidas.
