- INTERSTELLAR MEMORANDUM CLASSIFICATION: PRIORITY ONE

- 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.

-
- 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.....
