"Mama Bird, this is Sparrow. Robin team has been eliminated, repeat Robin
team as been eliminated. We are trying to retreat to our ship. We have
discovered several lost volumes of porn and our bring it back to base. Oh
my god, AAAHHHHHHH gurgle.
(Gun fire is heard and voices in the distance)
--take off, take off.
--leave us save the porn.
(a large expolosion is heard)
Mama Bird, we have found the queen alien. Our ship was destroyed trying to
escape. We are trying to hold our own, but are weapons are proving useless.
Our only hope is that the aliens kill the remaining faction troops.
(Gun fire is heard and the screams of the dying. Suddenly everything goes
queit)"
The tape you just heard is the last communication we had we Beta sqaud and
Delta squad. We know that there is still porn on the ship so we are
mobilizing another team to go to the ship and retrieve that porn. We will
be leaving in one month time.
Our secondary mission is to try and bring back an alien. We would prefer to
capture it alive, but that may not be possible.
We have received reports that the faction troops were not destroyed like we
had hoped, but escaped to a ship that is now circling
Zero-Point-Nine-Three-Seven. It is most likely that we will have to face
the factions again.
