New Plans

We have made excellent progress with these recent captures, yet We must also act with care so as to not go 'too far', as the Metal-Shells have a say. Soon, a new place for these enlightened individuals will be found, as the jump holes to Omega-58, Our home, are nearly stabilized once more.

But We do not have time to rest. Shozak, the Survivor, an Elder of the Mainshare, has entrusted us whole with another mission, one to bring into the voids of Omicron Iota the wreck of the so aptly named Isis, from the reaches of Toledo, in Omicron Minor. This is a most unusual request, yet not one which We shall refuse as it allows Us all the opportunity to play freely with our mastership of crafting new alien designs as We have before in Rheinland oh so many cycles ago. It is for this reason that We will not recover it whole, as it is little more than scrap metal to be thrown away and in its stead We shall bring back only scans of the structure and 'token' bits of equipment and hull plating still usable. Around these We shall construct a machine of war; Nomad tissue intertwined with human technology; a weapon of terror for the masses of Sirius.

For the present, We call upon Our most skilled workers to move to Altair Complex at once, as They will be required for the following phases. To Our mightiest warriors: We call you into Omicron Zeta, at the Lair, to gather. Patience shall be required for now, yet when We have gathered enough support, The Order's graveyard will welcome Us all with open arms. Waste no energy, however, on pointless chases and 'pillaging', for We must also maintain an aura of secrecy until a first trek towards the Isis wreckage.
