WE ARE SORRY TO ANNOUNCE THE TRAGIC END TO A MISSION VITAL TO THE INTERESTS
OF ALL CITIZENS OF THE FEDERATION OF GALACTIC STATES. OPERATIVE BRAUN WAS
SENT TO DEZERIA TO FIND AND BRING BACK THE RED KEY BELIEVED TO GIVE ACCESS
TO THE FURTHER QUADRANTS OF DEZERIA. UPON COMPLETION, HE WAS TO CALL FOR A
PICKUP BY MOVING TO A DESIGNATED PICKUP LOCATION OF THE PLANET'S SURFACE
AND SENDING THE PICKUP REQUEST FROM HIS WRIST TRANSMITTER.
A PICKUP REQUEST WAS RECEIVED AND THE SHIP DESCENDED BUT FOUND NO BRAUN.
THE SHIP WAS PROGRAMMED TO WAIT A NUMBER OF MINUTES AND THEN RETURN TO HOME
PLANET. WHEN IT ARRIVED HERE, IT WAS EMPTY. IT APPEARS THAT EITHER A
SPURIOUS SIGNAL RECALLED THE SHIP IN ERROR OR THAT BRAUN CALLED FOR THE
PICKUP BUT FAILED TO POSITION HIMSELF AT THE APPROPRIATE LOCATION. IN
EITHER CASE, WE HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF THE RED KEY WAS EVER DISCOVERED
BY BRAUN.
WE ALSO HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING IF WE SHOULD HONOR AND HAIL OUR HERO, BRAUN,
OR CURSE THE WRETCHED FOOL. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE SENT IN ARNOLD AFTER ALL.
ADMIRAL A. J. WILSON
COMMANDANT
