Akrami "Two hours ago we lost FTL comms with Fifth Fleet Command. All outbound communications traffic from Morik have ceased." "06a-02"
Akrami "30 minutes ago, long range sensors detected a significant cosmological event in the Morik system." "06a-03"
Akrami "A massive energy burst was detected, powerful enough to cause shockwaves through hyperspace." "06a-04"
Akrami "My analysts believe this is the cause of the comms blackout." "06a-05"
Akrami "A disaster of unprecedented scale appears to have happened at Morik. I am authorising a reconnaissance mission to the system." "06a-06"
Akrami "Morik is a critical military and industrial hub, and was home to the bulk of Fifth Fleet." "06a-07"
Akrami "It is imperative we re-establish contact with the system and our fleet. The outcome of this war hinges on this." "06a-08"

SHOWICON ramly file="portrait_ramly" text=" " color="none" x=17 y=78
Ramly "Admiral Akrami is deploying the Artemis to the Morik system for a recon mission." "06a-09"
Ramly "Though the Artemis is fully repaired and combat capable, we're going into this mission understrength." "06a-10"
Ramly "We still await personnel replenishment to bring our crew and pilot numbers back up to a full complement." "06a-11"
Ramly "Despite these setbacks, I know we're still more than capable of performing this mission." "06a-12"
Ramly "Deck crews will notice the new complement of Thunderbolt interceptors." "06a-13"
Ramly "Our mission parameters have changed. With the escalating conflict, we are progressing into an ASM-heavy combat environment." "06a-14"
Ramly "The Thunderbolts will serve us well in intercepting hostile missile and bomber attacks." "06a-15"
Ramly "The journey back to Morik will take several days. Updates will be forthcoming as soon as they're available." "06a-16"

Cavill "I got a report from forensics after they dug through my bird - looks like a Combine shell tore through the air filter and gave me a dose of waste emissions before the safeties kicked in." "06a-18"
Cavill "Anyway, I may grumble but I'm counting my lucky stars I'm still here. Doing better than a lot of other people." "06a-19"
Cavill "Not making me any less impatient to be back in the cockpit. Don't get into too much trouble out there while I'm down, okay?" "06a-20"

Ramly "Positioning reads correct. We should be in the vicinity of Fifth Fleet headquarters. Instead there's rubble." "06a-27"
Ramly "The planet Bulwark was a temperate Earth-like planet with a thriving planetary infrastructure." "06a-28"
Ramly "Nothing's left on the surface but molten rock." "06a-29"
Ramly "Our sensors are reading massive gravitational shifts within a relatively localised area in space." "06a-30"
Ramly "Shear forces are causing extreme tectonic shifting on the planet's crust." "06a-31"
Ramly "This appears to be the result of a massive, temporary gravity well in close proximity to the planet." "06a-32"
Ramly "We have no idea what caused this, nor whether this is some sort of new Combine weapon." "06a-33"
Ramly "We can confirm that this is a disaster of unprecedented scale, but the mission must go on." "06a-34"
