Introduction

Sergeant Winters Gentlemen... our worst nightmare has come true. At approximately oh-six-hundred, we received word that Adam Hale and his Cult have stormed the Terraformer. At this point in time, we don't know what their intentions are... but we can only assume the worst. All units are being mobilized. I shouldn't have to tell you the importance of this mission. If Hale damages the Terraformer... Our very existence hinges on this moment, men. This is Armageddon. You have your orders. Move out.
