Introduction

Hale

A generation ago I watched as these colonist scum stole everything from me. My people, my purpose. They left me broken. Left me to die in the desert, alone and forgotten. But that is the past. Today our glorious future begins. You, Mallus--my right hand--shall help me destroy the terraformer and bring Mars to her knees. Our future is at hand. Do not fail me.

Dialogue

Hale	Level the outpost, Mallus. Leave them with no means of following you

Mallus

Yes Sir. Sir, the Marauders' defenses are active. Shield barriers are up.

Hale	We shall deal with that on our end. Focus on the soldiers. Leave no survivors.

Eliminated enemies within outpost

Mallus

Outpost eliminated.

Hale	Shields will be down momentarily.

Canyon reached

Hale	Follow the surface canyons. They will lead you to the Terraformer's defensive generators. The defense grid must be lowered before we can continue.

Scout Towers reached

Mallus

Sir, radar is showing a number of Red Faction troops in the area.

Hale	Stay low, take them by surprise.

Outpost reached

Mallus

Approaching the Red Faction outpost.

Hale	Wipe them out.

Secluded pass reached

Hale	There is an underground passage at the back of the outpost. Find it.

Within the surface canyon

Hale	Stay below the canyon walls. The patrols will have a harder time targeting you., Beware the turrets. The ship won't survive a barrage of direct hits.

Distress transmission reached

Mallus

Intercepting a distress call from the Terraformer...

Hale	They know you're coming. Get to the comm towers and destroy them. The transmission must be silenced.

All transmission towers destroyed

Hale	All towers eliminated. Distress call silenced. Now target the blast door generator. It should be in the center of the complex.

Approaching the defense core

Hale	Eliminate any resistance you find. It will make your exit easier. Once the core is damaged, you'll have a small window of time before the reactor explodes.

Escaping the meltdown

Hale

This is Adam Hale. The terraformer's defenses are down. Storm the facility. Leave no survivors. The Red Faction will mobilize their troops...Let them come. Their efforts are in vain. The plan has been set in motion. And I promise you... we will wield a power that has not been seen for centuries. A power that will crush our enemies... and return Mars to its rightful owners. Our future is at hand, my children. We are victorious.
