*Dave stands near Jack to take turn on the speech*
Dave : First I need to say that the Cerberus ground HQ is well organized and If everything goes as planned Cerberus will have a major influence on the local systems. Now I would like to present you the local fauna of the Primus area where our base of operations will be established. As you see in mister's Lowe projected hologram, the environment isn't too warm and clean as you many of you thought. The majority of the terrain is mountainous with lack of vegetation. On the east-side of the landing site there opens an endless ocean which presents some channels throughout the coast. On the west side there starts a line with huge mountains rich in titanium and cobalt. The northern side is a deep valley with barren features. Beneath the valley there are deposits of deuterium where Alexander will deploy and will start the construction of the extraction outposts. The southern area is starting to show some small vegetation sign but after 10 kilometers it stops. Despite of the hostile environment, on the night time, there appears some sort of creatures that are very dangerous to us. They attacked the dropship where I and Alexander where. This is what I call a Rhyino . If they are dangerous we can get rid of them easy by putting local infrasound emitting pillars, they are sensitive on infrasound and on a high frequency they can get a serious dose of pain. Even so, the center area is the perfect on, like it was designed to be landed and then discovered, as you all know below it is the ancient underground complex with lots of resources and many uncovered secrets.
*Dave goes back near Alexander listening carefully on the further notices*

Cdr Jurgen heard the announcement and then went to the nearest access control panel to find the Tactical room. After retrieving the information he headed to th Tactical room. Slipped in unnoticed and sat in a chair in the back of the room as Col Aubrey began to speak.
After listening and taking it all in and after Dave finished his final speech Elijah spoke.
Elijah:Hello Jack and Dave. This is all very interesting. I think that whatever research can be gleaned from your discovery will help not only Cerberus but all of humanity.
Elijah pauses for a minute while he looks around the room.
Elijah:Dave, I trust you in protecting us all from the radiation and these creatures with all these techno gizmos of yours, however, I have heard that there is shielding that we can use that protects us from the outside while able to fire our weaponry through in case someone does try to assault from the air. This shielding can also absorb the attacks and use it as energy for our own systems. Like a dampening field of some sort. Would this shield be able to protect us from radiation and these creatures as well? Or is all of what I just said repeating rumors?
Elijah leans against the bulkhead and takes a drink of his caramel latte
*Intrigued by the question Elijah asked, Dave responds making a clear statement*
Dave: Well Elijah, the shielding pillars that you refer, are placed to protect us from radiation while we are adding the base modules of the different outposts we will deploy. For the possible "combat" situations we will use these armors. Mister Lowe please project the image...
*Lowe projects the image of a highly sophisticated armor which attracts the eyes of the present ones. Jack is very interested and makes a round smile*
Dave: As i present you the Chimaera class Power Armor. This was a secret project that i ran to make you a "surprise" as i can say that. The armor is created of easy metals so it shouldn't be problems running or making fast moves. It is reinforced with powerful armor plating placed in scale shapes and linked with a fine gel type conductor. Also the armor has an advanced targeting system, so it doesn't matter if you are not good at shooting fast things, it will be more like a child's play. I hope this will be useful when the operations will come, remember that the armor is for multipurpose and not only for combat, since it has a complex program with a selective array of operational modes.
*Looks at Elijah seeing that he is out of words and shows sign of approval*
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. - Sovereign
Jack silently watched the images projected on the large holo-projector's virtual screen,he was catched by the design of the armor.The armor resembled to the old Bretonian SP-214 "Combat Armor" that he used during the rather infamous operation codenamed "Blackstorm".He carefully listened to all the detailes of the armor developed by Dave,when Dave finished his speech he sat down.and Jack stood up to resume his former exhibit.
Lowe immediatly activated the microphone
Jack Aubrey:I suppose that you didn't noticed nothing new in the armory,well if you didn't,I will tell you what happened.
The armory was recently re-stocked with some high energy weapons and equipment,useful for boarding operations nd for ground operations.The weapons are some highly modified weapons produced by a designer of the corporation that you may know as "Taurus, Inc.",the company that helds the station of "Detroit Munitions".These weapons were stolen by some of our agents.
Jack Aubrey:Lowe..go on with the next set of diapositives.
Weapons Wrote:The armory is full of assault rifles,sniper rifles,small handguns and other assorted equipment.The access to the armory is allowed only when you requested the permission of the Gunnery Officer.He will then grant you a keycard to enter the armory,you will have a limited time to pick what you want,so before you will even consider to enter the armory you should consult the weapons list and catalog.The doors will automatically close.
This weapon is the latest addition to our arsenal.
TRS 991 "Widow Wrote:The TRS 991,codenamed and commonlty known as W.I.D.OW,is a highly effective sniper rifle in current use by Cerberus agents,the rifle was fully developed by a well known Libertonian Corporation that until recent times produced high caliber weapons for the Liberty Navy.The sniper rifle uses the concept of electro-magnetic impulsed bullets.This concept can allow the user of the rifle to crack shot a target of the size of a penny from almost 1.7 KM.The sniper rifle will come in addition with a mountable tripod.
Jack Aubrey:We talked about the base..about the armors and about some of the weapons.This "meeting" is finished.You can return to your former duties.
Jack analyzed the data from the various sections of the Terminus,all was normal.The engine room had only a strange energy peak lately,a team of engineers was about to investigate the issue.Jack stood and looked at the holographical map in front of him,he was on Galaxy Mode,he wanted to see the coordinates of Sol,he didn't had nothing in mind,he just wanted to see where does the cradle of humanity was...and where it was lost.
Jack Aubrey:Well..who wants to go for a soda in the bar? I really don't think that I will drink something alcoholic very soon..that night..urgh..that won't happen again,
*Meanwhile,Lieutenant Taylor Graves returned from Primus..*
Jack and Taylor started to walk towards the bar
Taylor Graves:Sir,I gave order to the recon team to start a quick field survey on Primus.They encountered those "beasts".Some shots in the air scared them off...but some zoners speak about an animal..the Al'Ghouti.A creature active only during the night,that creature feeds with blood from other creatures.The zoners usually call that a "bloodsucker".The team didn't had any encounters with them.But the locals said that we should stay away from the grotto on E 41° 53’ 24″ N, 12° 29’ 32″,they said that they tried to run some mining operations in that grotto,but strangely all the miners disappeared without a trace,a body was found later by a local,the body was left as a blood-dry mummy.I don't know what to think about these beasts,but I don't like them sir.I gave order to use armor-piercing rounds if they see anything strange.Tomorrow a rover will be sent in that grotto at 0010.I need to request our main scientist and you on the field.If we prove the locals wrong,they will trust us.And if we truly find something,well..I don't see the reason to "disinfest" that place and use the mine in cooperation with the zoner population there,I know for certain that high ammounts of titanium,boron and iridium are common in that mine.
Jack Aubrey:This is quite an issue you know that? There is a myth behind those creatures,they can't be killed,we need to be sure of that before we risk the lives of some innocent people with an immediate action.These "bloodsuckers" are active in the night right?
Taylor Graves:Yes sir.The zoner locals told me that they are a shadow in the night,you won't even know if they are lurking behind you to suck your blood with their tentacles.
Jack Aubrey:What? Tentacles?! If they are a shadow,how do they know that?
Taylor Graves:They have an archive in the Brunweld Tower,the file that has some relevant informations on these "creatures" said so.
Jack Aubrey:Hmm..so this is a reality..they do exist. Well listen well,place a sniper team in front of the grotto.Leave something in front of the grotto that could attract the attentions of the "dwellers" of the grotto.Be sure that NO ONE will enter in that grotto. I will join you tomorrow in the operation,tell the recon squad on Primus to come back.They finished their mission.
*Meanwhile Jack and Taylor entered the bar...*
Jack managed to see Elijah in the eastern corner of the bar,with a bottle of Sirius Cola in front of him.Jack and Taylor went towards his table to tell him the "bad" news.
*Order affilated shutle on the move. Group of uncommonly looking Order officers are piloting it.*
Saul Tigh:Impressing, they already turned their warship into small city?.
Michal Golanski:Allright mate, I want you to behave, and we don't want take you drunken out.
*Tigh laughed silently.*
Saul Tigh:Sir yes sir.
*As always, nomads were very joyfull about joining as 'escort'. Even with that officers managed to get to Omicron Kappa without fight. They were aproaching Primus, soon reaching the contact range of Cerberus warship stationed on the orbit. Golanski hailed Terminus for docking allowance. Nearby Cerberus fighters were keeping area clear from all sorts of infestation.*
Michal Golanski:This is Order shutle, code Bravo Theta 6-1 requesting allowance for dock.
*Soon the docking control answered, they were clear to land. They looked at given map, they found it. 'Deck A-3', here is their destination. Two officers, one younger - Captain Golanski and his friend: commander Saul Tigh, old war veteran. He lost his eye during interrogations he suffered in Bretonian POW camp somewhere in Kusari. Both aproached the bar*
Michal Golanski:Sirius Cola for me, and some special gallic wine for my friend. We are Order officers visiting Cerberus, I could say you have improved a lot since I first met your fleet. What can you say me about people here?
*Dave headed to the Bar because he heard that some visitors came aboard Terminus. There he asked for the two Order representatives and went to them*
Dave : Greetings mr. Tigh and mr. Golanski, am I right ? I am Dave Synk, and it's a pleasure to see Order pilots aboard our vessel, even ... very known officers *and put a long smile*. What do you think of the Terminus ? As long as you managed to see ?
*Dave saw Jack, Elijah and mr. Graves at a private table, he saw Jack's face leading to a "negative" posture meaning that something bad just happened since mr. Graves was the ground recon squad captain on Primus..*
Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in ignorance, incapable of understanding. - Sovereign
Michal Golanski:Good day. Yes I am captain Golanski and he is commander Tigh. I am representant of Order inteligence division. Your organisation was noted as interesting to contact and possible worth of co-operation with us. Terminus... everything seems to be packed with electronics, you don't fear that some virus could take over those systems?
*Golanski drinked his sirius cola and continued.*
Michal Golanski:Being in two divisions at once gives me a lot of work but sometimes tasks 'merge'. We are not for being a hmm... 'well known' you would tell.
*Golanski aproaches the window, planet Primus in whole of it beauty.*
Michal Golanski:Primus is able to be habitated, was used multiple times as hide out of various individualists... What are your plans towards it if I may know?
Jack was reading a book on the observatory deck when an officer came in to give him the news.Some Order intelligence vessels landed on the Terminus.Jack immediatly closed the book,and he left the observatory,going to the A-3 deck,commonly known now as the "Bar Deck".Meanwhile while he was passing through the hallway he managed to see the Order's shuttle in the docking bay.He standed in front of the window while some engineers where checking the ship for the usual maintenance,the Edge Nebula is known to be a "corrosive" place where to pass your time.
He managed to encounter Taylor on the way towards the bar,Taylor mentioned Elijah was still there after that Jack left,the Order agents were talking with him and Dave.He told Jack that he should go back in the bar again...
Jack proceeded further on until he reached the bar door.The device in his jacket automatically opened the door.When he entered the bar he managed to see Elijah, Dave and the two Order agents talking at a table in the center of the room.Alexander and Blake were there too..
Jack Aubrey:Nice to see you Captain Golanski,and you too mister Samuel Tigh.I think that you already know me,if you don't well I will refresh your memory.I'm Colonel Jack Aubrey,leader of Cerberus and commander of the Terminus.I am glad to see that you are here,since he rarely allow Order| vessels to dock on our ship,especially on the Terminus after some recent events.
*Alexander told Jack that the two Order agents wanted to know more about their plans for Primus*
Jack Aubrey:As you may know,Primus is a rather harsh environment in which humanity couldn't survive,without the necessary equipment.Equipment that Cerberus is known to have.The main zoner settlement,Lagura, I can't talk further more on this tecnology,but I can assure you that this "equipment" can nullify the radiation effects on human beings.The current radiation on Primus is not as high as many think,it is though suficient to get yourself a tumor if you don't use the above mentioned "equipment".In short words,we will construct a ground base on Planet Primus.I can't give you the exact locations of our future base to avoid any kind of spying,but yet again..I trust you,and I know that you won't betray us if I will reveal you the heart of the project./color]

[color=#FF6600]*Jack pushes towards the agents a document..*
After the recent discovery of the Alpha Dig Site on Planet Primus on the coordinates of 49° 33.0', -123° 30.0',our main science officer,doctor Dave Synk,managed to find a particular zone on the western side of the planet,at 574 KM from the future base of Cerberus.Our scientist,working in cooperation with the researcher of the Terminus,Alexander Stone,found that the effects of radiation are very low around the dig site.The dig site is an ancient underground cave,that runs several kilometers under the planet's surface.
We recently closed the dig site after that some creaturers were spotted lurking around the perimeter.I can make you a quick thing about what do we want to do.
• Ask the Zoners for that specific place,to build a ground base for Cerberus. • Gather all the supplies that we can. • The base will be constructed in the close proximity of the small "Ryfus" ocean.Bathing the west side of the planet. • The future base will feature several buildings and military installations.Including a hangar,ground headquarters,an armory,an airstrip to allow small craft and some gunboat class vessels to land there. • We will extract the raw Deuterium that Alexander managed to find deep within the underground cavern,to refuel our ships,using some high-end diesel pumps. • The base will be probably open only to Cerberus| members and some trusted pilots.Trespassers will be shot on sight without anything to advise them to leave the area.
Jack Aubrey:This should be all...and if you really want to know how is the enviroment of Primus you are welcome,remember to pass through the medical section first to ask for the Anti-Radiations pills.They will protect your health during your stay on the planet.And don't worry...those nefarious effects won't be a problem when the base will be built,of course if you stay withing the protective energy field.
Jack stood up and went towards the barman to order some drinks and some food..
The group at the table in the middle of the room continued to talk even when the plates "landed" on their table.The conversation was very friendly and hilarious....
