--Mekantan Central Information Service Report--

A humanoid machine lacking a lower half to its body turns to the screen. "Greetings. Early this evening, twelve MAI-X series robots opened fire on a recently awakened human male in the capitol Sector of Mekanta Prime this evening, when the man was being transported from the adjustment center to the city. The human was unhurt, but four AIs were wounded when comming to his aid. The man's name has not been released, but we are permitted to inform you that he has returned to his neurochamber."

"This is just the most recent in a stream of attacks within Mekanta. The most startling, yesterday, occurred when an armed human woman and three unidentified AIs stormed into the Mekanta-107 Sector command, attempting to take control of the Sector. They were all terminated by security forces after an exchange of weapons fire."

"This seems to be starting a frightening trend..."


--Message to Various Nations--

"Greetings. We, the Holy Empire of Mekanta, wish to ask the recipients of this message to keep watch for certain individuals. Particularly humans of Mekantan origin, easily identified by the geneticly recurring markings. While most marks are unobservable without what the human nations refer to as a 'strip search,' the most obvious indication would be a colored, solid streak from one or both eyes down to the chin. Should you encounter such an individual, please contact a Mekantan ambassador. Be warned. These individuals are dangerous. Please make all attempts to capture them alive."

"Thank you."

What color is the streak down the human's face? We may have one in custody.

This Indidivual, A Mr. "Bush W. George" was apprehended for speeding on one of Central Facehuggeria's highways. During a routine search of his car by the CF SS, err I mean the CF State Police, large numbers of Central Facehuggerian weapons including Laser Assault Rifles, anti tank weapons, and EMP grenades were discovered.

When first apprehended, it was believed the streak must have been some strange new-age tatoo. Also, while his Red Card appeared normal upon first glance, it lacked several of the anti-counterfiting features normally in citizenship cards. And his name is obviously fake as well.

So far, he has remained silent and refused a lawyer during his espionage trial. If he is indeed of Mekanta descent, we would turn him over to you for interrogation.

why are these people attacking? if we have motives then it will be easier to determin if you should get aid...

"The streak can be any color. A party is being sent to investigate this man. Thank you for your cooperation..."

--In Central Facehuggeria--

Two MAI-X robots walk into the room where the prisoner is being kept, standing guard by the door as two unidentified Mekantan humanoids enter. The prisoner seems to recognize them, and starts shivering with fear.

The first walks over to the prisoner, looking into his eyes. "Interesting. He is undoubtably Mekantan. Can your scanners detect any implants?"

The second joins the first, its fist clenched. "Affermative. He is one of the Renegades who left Mekanta three weeks ago." He grabs the Mekantan by the neck and lifts him effortlessly, making a deep growling sound. "Where are they?"

The prisoner struggles to get free. "Where are who?" He says, trying to remain defiant.

The first calmly glares at the prisoner. "Don't play games with us. You know full well who we're talking about. Where is Neo-Mekanta!?"

"Go to hell! You're just as bad as the Nations of Man! We'll never tell you where the city is!" The prisoner spits at the second Mekantan entity, who growls again. Suddenly, the prisoner begins screaming and twitching, a steady electrical current running into him from the second Mekantan's hand.

The second drops him to his knees, and he looks up at the two fearfully.

"Enough. Take him back to Mekanta. We'll extract what he knows there." The first snaps to the two MAI-X units, who salute, grab the prisoner by the arms, and drag him away. The first looks to the Central Facehuggeria people present the whole time and pulls at his head, and removes it.

... Making it apparent that it was just a helmet. The Mekantan man nods to them, smiling. "We're sorry to trouble you. These terrorists have started to become more and more of a threat. If you find any more, call us. Or shoot them. Whichever you prefer." The man shrugs and walks out, the AI close behind him.

why are these people attacking? if we have motives then it will be easier to determin if you should get aid...

"Their motives are known, but for the moment this is classified information."

If you need assistance in this matter, feel free to ask. They are obviously a seditious group who has spied on CF military secrets. We take our technological secrecy very, very seriously.

(Check your TGs.)

I just replied to yours. :)

--SECRET IC--

Adjutant's eyes snapped open as the cables connecting her to the simulated world all Mekantans in their Neurochambers experienced. She looked out the transparent exterior of the tube and sighed as one of the MAI-X units that constantly followed her around typed in a command to open the chamber. "You wouldn't happen to have any clothing with you, would you?" She shivered, wishing there were a way to be clothed in the chambers.

"Yes, Adjutant. Another is bringing them, along with some food." The MAI-X said, bowing. "It would be advisable to prepare quickly. Central Command wants you at the bridge. They believe Neo-Mekanta is going to make their move."

Adjutant temporarily forgot the cold of the room, and her lack of protection from it. "Have they found..."

"Yes ma'am."

Adjutant closed her eyes and breathed deeply. "Very well. Relay a message to Central Command. I shall be down shortly."

"Yes ma'am."

"Sir, we are getting some strange comms traffic. I can't really make sense of it... It is just the following phrase repeated over and over: 'Your Inferior Organic government is obsolete...' What do you make of it sir?"

"I don't really know..."
Suddenly; a huge asteroid, 800 meters acoss plummets through the atmosphere, right into Achidna, Central Facehuggeria's primary port city...
The shockwave was felt all over the nation, people cowered for fear that it was an earthquake. But it wasn't, it was something far worse. Achidna was completely destroyed, a crater was all that remained to mark the dead.

"What the hell was that?"
"I don't know wait one... Oh my god..."
"What is it!?"
"Achidna has been completely annhilated. Nothing is left; everyone is gone... Sir? Wasn't your family in Achidna?"
"...no it can't be!...What happened?"
"Looks like an asteroid hit, Sir"
"How did it get by the defense system?"
"It was moving too fast... Almost as though it had been launched from a mass driver..."
"We'll find whoever did this, they'll pay!"

--SECRET IC--

Central Command was buzzing with activity as Adjutant entered, the main commander of the Mekantan military barking out orders without pausing for breath. AIs never had to, but normally they would emulate the pauses.

"Adjutant!" An AI said, running over. "Recent development! Neo-Mekanta has made its move!"

A huge screen blinked on, showing an outline of the Central Facehuggeria coastline. The new coastline...


--MCIS REPORT--

"... Neo-Mekanta attacked Central Facehuggeria, and in one fell swoop wiped out an entire city. No survivors have been found. Recon of the presumed location of the Neo-Mekantan city has failed. The remains of the units sent were shipped back to us, to mock our power."

"As of twenty-one hundred hours, Neo-Mekanta's campaign against the Nations of Man has begun. All defence forces have been scrambled and R&D is going into overdrive to try to find a way to counter them. We can only pray..."
