--- --- --- --- We think the Bacterians are here.
                Last week our orbital scanners picked up 
                an unidentified flying object. We thought it
                was a meteor of some sort, but now we know ...
                It had to be a Bacterian bioweapons pod. The
                research vehicle we sent to investigate the
                crash site doesn't respond to our hails.
                Satellite images are not showing up, too much
                atmospheric disturbance. We set up some
                automated defence mechanisms just to be sure..

                RSA-766-3 COLONY CALLING OUT. CLASS ONE BIO-
