Gandrayda
- Gandrayda: [after having mimicked a Space Pirate] Space Pirate grey is definitely not my style. Machines aren't my thing either, so I'll let you get this generator back online. Thanks, Sammy.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: Gandrayda! enough!
- [Gandraydal laughs before taking off her suit]
- Fleet Admiral Dane: Looks like everyone's here now. Before I begin the briefing, let me introduce 242, the flagship's Aurora unit.
- [the hologram image of Aurora Unit 242 appears]
- Ghor: Ah, an organic supercomputer. Fascinating. It is my understanding that the Galactic Federation's core network is comprised of such units.
- Aurora Unit 242: That is correct Ghor. And we serve as the network's master control. However currently the network is down.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: That seems inefficient.
- Aurora Unit 242: But Necessary. You see, seven days ago we discovered that all Auroras Units were infected with an unknown virus. We were forced to bring the network down. Fortunately, our scientist were quickly able to devise a vaccine.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: Unit 242 was the first AU to receive the vaccine. We were able to completely purge the virus.
- Gandrayda: Where did this virus come from?
- Fleet Admiral Dane: We believe the virus is of Space Pirate origin. Four months ago, The G. F. S. Valhalla went missing while on a training mission in the Klar Nebula. The ships logs revealed that they were attacked by a Space Pirate raiding vessel.
- Ghor: What is the logic in disrupting a Federation training mission?
- Gandrayda: They're pirates. How could they resist a prize like that?
- Rundas: That never would've happened if I'd been there.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: Then it's a shame you weren't. The pirates boarded the Valhalla and gained access to the ship's Aurora Unit 313. This is how they were able to hack into the network and plant the virus.
- Aurora Unit 242: Thanks to our security protocols, we were able to shut down the network before the damage from the virus became irreversible.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: But we're still vulnerable. If the pirates decide to launch a major offensive, we'd be hard pressed to defend ourselves. We must rid the other AUs of that virus and bring the network back online. That's where you come in. We need you to deliver the vaccine to each of the AUs in this system. We'd also like you to investigate the pirates activity in the area. We need to know what they're up to.
- [Suddenly the ship shakes and the alarm goes off]
- Aurora Unit 242: Condition red. All personnel to combat-ready stations. Repeat condition red...
- Federation Marines: Sir, a space pirate attack fleet has just warped out of some sort of wormhole. They're also heading for sector zero, the planets home base.
- Fleet Admiral Dane: Damn! They're targeting the planetary-defense system. Get down to the planet and aid the ground troops! Stop those pirates from disabling the defense system! Go!
