Greetings Captain Kaon, welcome aboard the INS Argus.#You are fortunate your sentence was commuted, these are desperate times. The war in Regulus has left the fleet short on pilots. Of the Argus' 3 squadrons, only a one-eyed gunner, unfit for duty, remains.##The Argus is too old to survive the alien war, but she is still a proud ship. If the conflict comes to the Earth we will stand ready and you need to prove you are ready too.

Well done Captain Kaon, you have successfully completed this basic obstacle course. It seems your time in prison has done little to diminish your abilities.##However, if the war comes to Earth you will need to be able to handle challenges greater than a few targets can provide.#We will be engaging in more advanced exercises as soon as possible.
I commend you on your safe return to the Argus.#We don't know who Sigma are or why they have attacked you, but they've clearly been planning this for some time.##We are tracking a lot of movement in the surrounding area, they seem to be spreading out and taking control of key locations. We must act quickly before Ceres becomes a war zone.
Well done, Sigma's resistance was greater than anticipated. They must have known we would we need to refuel and sent the bulk of their forces to defend the depot. They have taken significant loses, it shouldn't take much more to put down this revolt.#The fleet has not managed to fill its fuel tanks completely, but we are ready to respond wherever Sigma strikes next.
Our intelligence section is pouring over the contents of the Data Chip, cracking their encryption was trivial. The first data packets have already been analysed and they are promising. Once we have finished Sigma's secrets will be exposed.##We have discovered a weapon schematic and sent it to the engineers. A Shotgun turret will now be available in your loadout.
Sigma are blind, their spies stomped into the dirt. Without these surveillance packages Sigma will not be able to monitor us and we can move against them at will.#It's time to push forward, suppress Sigma and restore the supply lines to our forces in Regulus.
We have stripped the Tetracore refinery of its remaining fuel and added it to our reserves. We now have enough fuel to complete our campaign. Whilst you were engaging with Sigma's forces our engineers were able to recover a mining laser from the facility, they have converted it into a turret for your gunship.##A pulse laser is now available for you loadout.
You have prevented Sigma from securing access to the Naval Intelligence Network, but this victory is pyrrhic. The loss of the naval personnel held hostage here is grave. We will avenge them.##A number of hawk gunships have been found in the wreckage, they have been move aboard the Argus and are available from your hanger.
We have prevented Sigma from establishing governance over Ceres, but not before they destroyed the command infrastructure there and executed the governor. We have now one to replace him, for now Ceres will have to remain in anarchy. We will restore order once we have crushed Sigma once and for all.
The Centurion is destroyed and the space port remains under our control, we can effectively prevent Sigma operatives from escaping Ceres, if we hunted them all down here we can end this rebellion and prevent a later resurgence.##A Several Hornet gunships have been found in storage and moved aboard the Argus. They will be available in your hanger.
The Arsenal is secure and we have prevented Sigma from strengthening their position. If they had stolen the armaments here they would have weapons needed to undo all our work. We have used the stores here to replenish our supplies.##Rockets are now available for your loadout.
We have recovered some intriguing information. Sigma does not appear to be a simple collection of disgruntled miners. The data recovered indicates they are a far larger force than they first appeared, their influence appears to have spread throughout Ceres. The Data Chip gives no indication of how they were able to achieve this or how they are so well equipped.
We have secured the shipyard and the Sigma forces are retreating. Without access to the gunships here they will still be stuck using their modified utility pods and we will maintain our superiority of arms.##Analysis of the gunships under construction has revealed several completed Falcons, they have been added to your hanger.
We have undermined a key stronghold for Sigma. Without power their base is useless and the forces inside can either surrender or slowly asphyxiate as the air purifiers fail. The tide of the fight is turning.
Everyone aboard the Hermione would like to thank you for the safe return of their Marines. With so few available to us we could ill afford to close an entire squad.##Whilst on their mission the Marines located a Mosquito gunship, it has been recovered and will be available in your hanger.
Our agent is safely aboard and has begun their debriefing. They have uncovered a trail of supplies and money that leads back to Mars. It seems this revolt is not isolated to Ceres but has been orchestrated by someone on Mars.
The repair station and it supplies are ours, Sigma has been sent running with its tail between its legs. The Sirius has already been moved into the dock and repairs will begin immediately. Once the fleet has returned to full fighting condition victory will be certain.##We have located a cache of munitions and brought them aboard. The Large Bomb is now available in your loadout.
Sigma's network infrastructure has ceased functioning, without it their individual cells will have to operate independently. We were also able to shutdown an unusual data node that connected to Mars. Once this war is won we will return and attempt to recover more information on this node.
The processing plant has been retaken. Without an economic base Sigma will not be able to turn their revolt into a lasting separatist movement. Your actions today have prevented Ceres from succeeding from Earth control.
It would have been a sad day if we had been defeated by a lack of fuel, but now our tanks are full and Sigma's are empty. We have the resources we need to finish this war off.
You have done well restoring this processing plant. It's an important step towards bootstrapping the Ceres economy and returning some form of normality to this rock. We will soon have ore shipments supplying the arms factories and the war effort will be back on track.
Well done, these mineral reserves are key materials for the weapons factories on Mars. With Earths munitions stockpiles depleted it is key that more are manufactured or our fleet in Regulus will be unable to fight.
We have answered Sigma's attack and defeated them. It is worrying that Sigma have been able to acquire anti-ship missiles, but they have been unable to use them effectively. The fleet is safe and has only taken minimal damage.
Sigma's artillery assault has failed and their equipment has been destroyed. This could have been a costly defeat for us, Sigma are far better equipped than we had thought. You have done well keeping the fleet safe.
It was extraordinarily bold of Sigma to attempt to board the Argus, they are clearly a far more dangerous foe than we had realised. For now the fleet is safe and we can return to our task of quelling the revolt.
We live to fight another day. The Sigma Behemoth is in ruins, it will be sometime before they can construct another with which to threaten us, that they were able to build one at all is extraordinary.
