CONFIDENTIAL
MISSION BRIEFING FOR TERRA BASE

Commander Anthony "Kestrel" Paladino
5th PTMC Material Defender Corps

        "Listen up men. We have a situation on the homeworld. PTMC Terra
Control Base has been overrun by the alien infestation. As of 0647 this
morning we have lost all contact with Earth. We can only guess that this is
a retalitory strike to the destuction of the alien "leader" on Charon.

        As you know, PTMC Terra Base is the heart of PTMC's defense force.
Therefore, almost one half of all of the Material Defender Corps personel,
including new cadets, are stationed there at one time. In their last
transmission, Terra Base informed us that 90% of the personel had been killed
by the aliens. The also stated that two top pilots and their Pyro GX crafts
had been captured and locked in the hangar area.

        Preliminary satelite information shows us the base is heavily
gaurded. Infiltration would be impossible by flying straight in. Therefore,
you will be teleported directly into the launch bay. From there, you should
find the blue access card that will allow you to enter the base. It is stored
in a secret underground control center somewhere in the surrounding forest.

        You should then proceed to set free the captued pilots, rescue all
hostages, purge the base, and destroy the reactor. Watch your back. The 
aliens will surely have traps set up for any intruders.

        Good luck and good hunting."
