Welcome Tribe. this is not a Drill. moments ago in the medibay Harbinger regained conciousness long enough to disclose a set of transporter Coordinates. these Coordinates also match the set discovered by Shinoba. Moreover photon activity at the site has increased more than 200% in the last two hours. I shall personaly lead a reconisance squad to the site via dropship to avoid transporter traces.

Our Primary objectives are:

- Identification and neutralization of all hostile threats.
- Search the Facility mainframe for any relevant data.

Secondary Objectives being:
- Minimize non-hostile casualties.
- Investigation of the assault on Harbringer.
