______________________________________________________________________ Welcome, Marine. I am Lieutenant Maxwell. We were a bit surprised to see you warp in like that. We didn't know who you were until General Dire saw you and flipped out, screaming about how you couldn't be here cause he left you to die in an old IPIT station. By questioning him as to what he meant, he attacked one of the guards. So we tried to put Dire under arrest, but he transported himself off the ship, down onto the surface of where we are now, and he's showing no life signs. Good riddance. ______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________ I'm on Valkrie Station, a UESC Fort Of Operations for this sector. After reports of an immense Alien battle over this planet, we headed out to see what happened. Apparently a warship of unknown origin and race was forced down to the surface, only after destroying 7 of the Pfhor's top destroyers. =We want that ship= It is currently being combat swept by the Pfhor, and they have no idea we're here, so we'll be taking them by surprise. Exterminate anything you see, but beware, there may be something down there we don't know about. You are currently IN that ship. It seems to have been half buried when it crash landed, and over time, some structures were built to support many portions of it, possibly to reduce further damage to the ship itself. We don't know who built the external supports, but I am sure you have already seen some of it. ______________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________ Oh, by the way, when General Dire escaped, he took the prototype ATHENA-CLASS .7 RAIL DEVICE with him. This tool was used to repair large sections of the old CHRIST supply ships. They fired large shards of metal in which to nail something down. However, they were turned for the use of killing in the 2nd Generation Holy War of 2250. We encourage you to get this weapon because it will be some time before we can build another one. Remember, keep on your guard, we don't know what's down there, if anything at all. And if you see Dire, bury a nail into his back just for me. ---=== Maxwell out ===--- ______________________________________________________________________

___________________________________________ Good work. I'm sending drones and BOBs down to clean the place up and inhabit it. Before we leave these armed civilians here all alone, we need you to do something for us. Only you and I know this. I was monitoring your actions down below and I saw that strange alien. We ran it through our data banks, and could not find out what it was. So we ran it through the Library Of the Eleventh Clan, this is what we got for a reply: .,><<.,.,.,<><.<><.,,.,<>., ><<.,..,.<>,,.<.,,.,..<>,., ___________________________________________

___________________________________________ Also while you were out, we noticed a peculiar anomaly. We have spotted a second alien ship! This one seems to have been here for a long, long time. Maybe the reason why the first ship was defending this area? Anyway, we are sending you over there to scope it out.
