no one answered the co so i jumped in with the rest of the briefing<br/><br/>"the terrain is mostly rock and sand with a few small bodies of water. the colony is set up beside one of the largest bodies called the lake of posiden since it is in a trident shape. the colony spans about 4 square miles and is made up of large warehouses, dormitories, tech and science labs and lots of caves that have been adapted for mining and research purposes.  the colony is or maybe was home to about 500 personnel mostly scientists, workers and their families. communication was lost about 1 unit standard month ago. following loss of contact transmissions have been sent once every 2 days according to article 135 of the colonial exploration doctrine.  no response was received. WY corp sent a squad of 4 mercs and 4 scientists to check on the colony 2 weeks after com blackout, likely to protect interests on site as they have a number of facilities there. their team hasn't been heard from since. therefore under article 906 section b of the CED we the marines have been sent in to ascertain the problem. if there are enemies on site we have no Intel on them so be ready for anything. i have the specs and layout of the town and all the buildings downloaded into localized battle net for our squad so it should be available on each of your pda's. thats all the intel i have stay alert and dont buy a farm we cant afford to lose all that precious money we wasted on your asses. Sergent Major, captain, anything more to add?"<br/><br/>the captain shakes her head. but says "good luck marines." she turnes and walkes out of the briefing area. i look at the major waiting for orders.
