INCOMING TRANSMISSION - {Source identified: Landfall-class light transport designate CSS Vanguard, 97% confidence.}</font>
Rodina, please respond.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
Rodina, this is Vanguard Comms, please respond.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - {Source identified: Polo-class custom heavy transport designate Rodina}</font>
This is Rodina MissionComms. We read you. Give us your status. We saw you make a clean entry into the heliosphere and then everything cut out.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
Be advised Rodina: we have hostile xeno contact, repeat HOSTILE xeno contact. Were repelling fire from twocorrection, threeunknown vessels. Some kind of energy weapons. Took out half of our plating before we even disengaged the Limnal drive.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Thats not possible. The systems empty. Weve got long-range data going back forty years on this. Its always been empty. Can you evade? Re-engage Limnal?

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
Negative. We lost the primary pilot and most of navigation in the first volley, so were flying blind. Limnal drive is down. The computer auto-ejected everyone on the starboard side. Were trying to get some distance under conventional thrust but theyre right on us. Platings at forty percent. We need help here Rodina. What can you give us?

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Im not sure I understand what you want exactly. Were still five or six years away at current speed. We can monitor you, but not much else beyond that. Science division says xeno is a negative: it must be another colony group. Maybe someone found a faster trajectory to the system? Can you identify any markings?

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
These are <em>xeno </em>hostiles, Rodina. Repeat: xeno. E.T., little green men, <em>xeno</em>. Platings at thirty percent. You need to burn your fuel reserves, or move to a faster trajectory, or, I don't know, try to blow out their transmitters with your comms. Do <em>something</em>.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Negative. You want us to risk the entire mission with an untested trajectory? Weve got millions of lives here and were not exactly nimble. Hold the frequency: I'm getting word from command

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Ok Vanguard, I have orders for you: we need you to get as close as you can to the hostiles and then detonate your drive. That comes directly from the Council. You need to take the hostiles out or cripple them if possible.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
Screw you, Rodina. Platings at ten percent. Im launching all lifepods and ordering a core eject in the opposite direction. If the hostiles follow the core, we may be able to get a few lifepods into the asteroid belt and hide. Detonate your <em>own </em>drive. We want to live.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
DO NOT core eject, Vanguard. Repeat, DO NOT core eject. The whole mission plan is on those cores. If they break the encryption theyll have everything. All our tech, all of our landing sites. Youre screwing <em>three generations </em>of lives here, Vanguard.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation1">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - VANGUARD</font>
Three percent plating. Its already done. Good luck, Rodina.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Vanguard, come in.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Vanguard Comms, please respond.

<font class="DocumentFontConversation2">INCOMING TRANSMISSION - RODINA</font>
Any surviving Vanguard crew, this is your parent colony ship, the Rodina. If you are still receiving communications, it is imperative that you contact us on private frequency 43.69376. Your survivaland <em>our</em> survivaldepends on you communicating with us. This message will repeat.
