18: Unnamed Level

How was Hypersleep? I am Adar, the AI in command of this fleet, and the one held responsible if anything goes wrong during this mission. You are aboard a small Class 7 stasis/shuttle pod in orbit of a planet called Faleioss. 3 days ago at 2300 hours, a small scanning probe detected a massive power surge eminating from this region. We were sent to investigate. We have narrowed down the location of the source of energy to this planet. The UESC has virtually no information on this planet. No human has ever set foot on it's surface. The only scans ever done on this planet were very basic, and done from over 30 million miles away by the UESC Marathon. In short- We know nothing about Faleioss. It is extremely far from Earth and is very near the region where the UESC Marathon was attacked by the Ph'for all those years ago.

We are also running quite a few risks by being here. This area is strictly classified Ph'for Territory. If the Ph'for discovered us, we would be attacked and most likely killed. This pod is accompanied by 6 armed cruisers and 3 transports of infantry, but we still do not have the firepower to withstand a direct Ph'for assualt. Anyway, now that you understand our situation and the danger we face, go get your weapons and suit up. When you are done, report to the bridge.

Now that you have your weapons, I will brief you on the coming mission: You are being sent down to surface of the planet to search for the source of the power surge. You will be supported by 100 soldiers carried in by transport to this location. If you meet any resistance, you have the authority to fight back. You are not required to stay with your fellow soldiers. You can search by your own route. I will try to contact you by whatever means possible once you are planet side. Adar out. ******PREPARE FOR TRANSPORT***********
