I'm watcching the live feeds on the graphene monitor you sent me, and the streets are buzzing in the cities... I've never seen anything like this... there's.. a second moon in the sky. Some people are saying this is judgement day, but, I just feel like something amazing is about to happen. Command has locked down my compound as a precaution. I can't get you on the wire, you must be too deep in your fancy new Fusion sub, or they've blacked out all non-essential communication. As soon you get this, hit me back, ok, I love you."

There's nothing left outside, just smoldering ash. The Adrillian fleet made a sucessful Q-leap to the new star, 12 light years away.. away from all this madness.. our fleet just cracked the signatures and did same.

The Warmech operation was a failure.. a noble idea, but the virus penetrates the suits much too easily. We have little time left to come up with something. The Adrillians are still trying to crack Quantum tunneling, trying to find a way out of the system. The very technology we thought would save us and bring us to new stars, is the thing that brought the Xada to our doorstep. All those months that every nation on earth, were testing quantum drives... the Xada could see them glittering. That's how they got here. They were watching us in our inter-stellar infancy, and then they came to put us in our place"

Troy,
The meeting I just finished was the usual bs except for this military contract update.
Some black hats were talking about developing a new unit for the mechanised division. They want a faster bi-ped and higher ballistic resistance. I told them they should be using wired armour plating with this stuff called magnetorheological fluid, and they gave me funding on the spot!
It works by suspending iron particles in silicon. When it gets hit, an eletrical charge fires and the iron atoms stack up. They tried it first almost 150 years ago but couldn't work it out. It's like wearing regular clothes that turn into concrete when a bullet hits you, then a moment later, they become flexible again. pretty neat huh!
The game is on Tuesday night - DON'T FORGET..

Urgent Message for Dr Raymond Millar.
The action team in Silent Chamber facility has been applying the Prion research from 2 years ago to the captured tissues. The organism is unlike anything we have seen before. The small piece of infected tissue had to be contained in a DEX chamber as every time we attempted to operate on it using surgical instruments, it would physically alter itself to accommodate the metal as one of it's own organs.
AT one point, it literally grabbed onto my lab assistant's forceps and then used them to walk along the operating table like a pair of miniature stilts. I cannot believe the things I have seen. This organism is not a virus or a bacterium. This is an entity with a consciousness that can be stored within any living tissue.
I fear we are vastly inferior to the invaders. Whatever the military is working on, hey had better field it quickly. This organism is more deadly than an Invigilator A.I. It learns, and it has a goal.

Henry pick up your PA! We have a new problem. These things can read brain waves. We hooked one up to a pattern recognition system and it synced with the inputs somehow. It projected rough images on screen of what the team members were visualising, one by one, like it was sizing us up.
They've figured out how our brains work and they can feel out our firing patterns to see what we are thinking. This means they can probably learn to read our movements before we even make one. All our soldiers are in danger. We need to create some kind of EM interference to make our brain waves seem incongruent. If we can get them to read fake brainwaves, they might react to false actions and then our soldier will always be one step ahead on combat.
We need to communicate with the Ivonix on this, they have the best neuro-cybernetic technicians.
Call me back ASAP

The United States of America was a Federal Republic, originally formed in the 18th century. At one stage, the USA was the most powerful nation on the planet, consisting of 50 states and one federal district. Like it's predecessors such as the Roman Empire, it eventually collapsed from the inside out.
The wave of high-tech terrorist attacks in the late 20's were originally thought to have come out of the former Middle East. Historic hindsight revealed that it was US citizens themselves whom orchestrated the undoing of the last remaining superpower.GDU #012[]

Dr Millar,
We have made a shocking discovery in the QR facility today. During a routine microbe scan in the clean rooms, our new system detected an intruder. On close investigation we discovered an entire eco-system of self-reliant nano machines going about their business. It looks as though they have been living in there for over a year undetected.
These nanos are not man made and have been constructed by other nanos. It's as if they have created their own culture and are writing their own directives. The team doesn't know whether to be overjoyed or terrified at this stage.

Adrillia have had the planet for long enough and the time has come for them to pay for their betrayal. With your masking agent technology, we can take back Gaia using your proposed super-Aza.

The Adrillian answer to the Thandeon combat tank has been unveiled as the Venom Stealth Fighter. The Venom is still in stage one development, but will pose a huge threat to any ground or air units if all goes as expected.
The Venom uses the chaos theory protocol in it's wing edge designs, creating intentional asymmetrical flaws. These flaws and differences in weight distribution along it's axis, mean the Venom can turn harder and explode into a hard spiral much fasteer than a geometrically sound aircraft.

+++On XADA Subspace Transportation+++
The XADA can seemingly teleport into and out of subspace using neutrino gates. This is the alternate space adjacent to our normal three-dimensional domain. This technique allows the user to travel much faster than speed-of-light in normal space, as they move from one location to another instantaneously, while ignoring all physical obstacles in between.
Our observations have concluded that it was the Quantum drive tests that caused a disturbance in the 4th/11th dimensions. This disturbance would have been as clear to the XADA as a torch lit at 100 paces is for a human observer.

+++The problems with Warp Drive+++
The Alcubierre drive was put out of commission prior to it's first ever live test. It was calculated that a trip long enough rto reach the nearest star, would vaporize entire planets upon arrival. The Warp bubble around a drive, collects energetic particles as it travels through compressed space. When the drive disengages, the particles are released in all directions. This causes a shockwave of dstruction with infinite range. The planet you leave from is eventually destroyed. For this reason, the Quantum drive began R&D.
