INTERSTELLAR MEMORANDUM CLASSIFICATION: PRIORITY ONE To: Command Center Number 163, Planet Earth From: Space Station -- HYBRIS DATE: Time zone 18003426442, 2461 A.D. RE: Investigation of the earth colony on Planet Jurica MESSAGE: We have begun our scheduled orbit of Planet Jurica. All attempts at communication with the earth colony have yielded no results. Our long- range sensors detect many strange formations on the planet's surface. We suspect that hostile alien forces have invaded the planet, and we have prepared our scouting ships to investigate. Two pilots have been chosen for the mission: J.P. Lovett and K. Lovett. Both are extremely well qualified and have explicit instructions to remain on the planet until they find the colony -- whatever the cost. Due to great distance between Jurica and Eart, we will continue to forward transcripts of the communication between HYBRIS and the pilots. TOP SECRET: Interstellar transmittance record space station: HYBRIS LOCATION: Planet Jurica STATUS: Red alert - All available crew to fighter stations DATE: 2461 A.D., 14:04.56 CLASSIFICATION: Combat communication with scouting ship, wave 1 HYBRIS: Space station hybris to scouting ship. You have cleared the space port successfully and should be .... RED ALERT! RED ALERT! Hostile alien forces directly in front of you. SS: Affirmative. The aliens are coming in fast and furious. Some seem to be stronger than others. As long as i keep moving, I am able to destroy most of them. The ones on the planet surface seem especially deadly. I'm travelling over some kind of desert, but there's obviously plenty of life down there. HYBRIS: Communications report received from another ship. Acquire extra strength by shooting and collecting power cubes. Each cube has different expanded features. SS: Affirmative. I have upgraded the ship's capacity. I can access the extra power by moving my control without firing. I'm hit! I'm hit! HYBRIS: Submit damage report. SS: Interesting. The strength of their attack depends on where the missles strike the ship. HYBRIS: Remember, you have the capacity to carry only three smartbombs. Better save them for use in tight spots. SS: I think i'm in one now.....
