Topic: New station comm unit

To : XENOS ALLIANCE

Greetings,

If you receive this transmission don't worry, it's just a Test. The new comm unit is now operational at 95%.
We just do a ping to analyse the com array. And if each Xenos base and ship received it.
Please let us now if you don't received it correctly.
Those information are really important to fix the frequence to avoid dark matter interruption.

Sincerely .S.H.O.D.A.N.

The comm officer has just informed me that we have recieved your test 5 x 5. With no distortion at all.
I think y'all have outdone yourselves! Keep up the great work.

Somewhere in Ontario aboard the Roc piloted my Shawn Evans.

The computer begins recording a message in reply to the transmission to Nome.

Mr Evans, there is an incoming message from Nome Base in Kepler.

What the hell? There ain't no way man that dang comm system ain't worked in years ya gotta be wrong.

Mr Evans, I assure you. The message is transmitted from Nome Base from the Zoners working on the comm array.

There ain't no way! They ain't been there but a week!

Actually Mr Evans, a well trained technically team could repair the communications array on a Asteroid base such as Nome is as little as three days fourteen hours and forty-two minutes if they were to work around the clock.

Trust me there just ain't no way, I've seen that dang thing it ain't gonna be workin' for at least a month just delete the god damn message!


You are wrong sir, but the last time I tired to argue with you, you shot six 45 caliber rounds into my interface. I'll delete the message

Damn right you will....

The computer deletes the incoming message while sending off the recorded response.
