Briefing
Malachi: Man... I can't believe I got fired for that!
Malachi: So, anyways, sorry about that Virulyde... didn't know your mouth was full.
Virulyde: Next time, I'll be sure to spray in your direction!
Saja: Where did you get that glass...?
Saja: Well, anyway, let's head back to my quarters. I need to fill you both in on some things.
Saja: Here are Zetsfir's most recent attack points.
Virulyde: It looks like they've been busy.
Malachi: Why this pattern?
Saja: Well, Malachi, with this strategy, Zetsfir can gain full control of any orbital station around Kaperth.
Saja: By tying up security forces around these areas, a strategic opening is available to Zetsfir.
Malachi: Now that we know their strategy, we could reinforce the weak points in our forces. Easy enough.
Saja: That's just it. Zetsfir reacts to that countermeasure by increasing their own numbers.
Saja: No one knows where they are headquartered and their massive number of troops remains a mystery.
Saja: There has never been any intel as to where a base could be located. They seem to come out of nowhere.
Virulyde: It has been that way for all of history, though. Nothing new there.
Malachi: No global coalition has ever once launched an offensive campaign against Zetsfir.
Saja: Right. The most the world has ever accomplished has been purely defensive and mitigative.
Malachi: Not to mention no one knows why Zetsfir is obsessed with the genocide of those who believe humans originated on another world...
Virulyde: Hey, Malachi...
Virulyde: I'm still supposed to take you back down to the surface, right? To Grady's place?
Malachi: Yeah, I'm staying there until Fumacine officially assigns me here. I did just lose my gig at that restaurant, after all.
Saja: Actually, you both should head down there now. Grady actually requested you two for a small job.
Saja: It has something to do with the ruins. Apparently, there was an odd heat signature the other day...
Malachi: Oooh! Sounds interesting!
Virulyde: Not to mention Grady's wife has the best cooking on the planet. Yummers.
Saja: You'll also need to have some maintenance done on the ShockShadow while you're there.
Malachi: Right, it needs some minor repairs. I'm sure it'll get us to the surface in one piece, though.
Virulyde: We will be back before the wedding, commander.
Saja : Be careful, you two.
