                         INTERSTELLAR MEMORANDUM

                        CLASSIFICATION: PRIORITY ONE

To:  Command Center Number 163, Planet Earth
From:  Space Station -- HYBRIS
DATE:  Time zone 18003426442, 2461 A.D.
RE:  Investigation of the earth colony on Planet Jurica

START MESSAGE:

We  have  begun  our  scheduled  orbit  of  Planet  Jurica.  All attempts at
communication with the earth colony have yielded no results.  Our long-range
sensors  detect many strange formations on the planet's surface.  We suspect
that  hostile alien forces have invaded the planet, and we have prepared our
scouting ships to investigate.  Two pilots have been chosen for the mission:
J.P.   Lovett  and  K.   Lovett.  Both are extremely well qualified and have
explicit  instructions to remain on the planet until they find the colony --
whatever  the  cost.  Due to great distance between Jurica and Eart, we will
continue  to forward transcripts of the communication between HYBRIS and the
pilots.

                     INTERSTELLAR TRANSMITTANCE RECORD
                           SPACE STATION: HYBRIS

STATUS:  RED ALERT - ALL AVAILABLE CREW TO FIGHTER STATIONS
DATE:  2461 A.D., 14:04.56
CLASSIFICATION:  COMBAT COMMUNICATION WITH SCOUTING SHIP, WAVE 1


HYBRIS:   SPACE STATION HYBRIS TO SCOUTING SHIP.  YOU HAVE CLEARED THE SPACE
PORT  SUCCESSFULLY  AND  SHOULD  BE....RED ALERT!  RED ALERT!  HOSTILE ALIEN
FORCES DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU.

SS:   AFFIRMATIVE.  THE ALIENS ARE COMING IN FAST AND FURIOUS.  SOME SEEM TO
BE  STRONGER  THAN  OTHERS.   AS LONG AS I KEEP MOVING, I AM ABLE TO DESTROY
MOST  OF  THEM.  THE ONES ON THE PLANET SURFACE SEEM ESPECIALLY DEADLY.  I'M
TRAVELLING  OVER  SOME  KIND OF DESERT, BUT THERE'S OBVIOUSLY PLENTY OF LIFE
DOWN THERE.

HYBRIS:   COMMUNICATIONS  REPORT  RECEIVED FROM ANOTHER SHIP.  ACQUIRE EXTRA
STRENGTH  BY  SHOOTING  AND COLLECTING POWER CUBES.  EACH CUBE HAS DIFFERENT
EXPANDED FEATURES.

SS:   AFFIRMATIVE.   I  HAVE UPGRADED THE SHIP'S CAPACITY.  I CAN ACCESS THE
EXTRA POWER BY MOVING MY CONTROL WITHOUT FIRING.  I'M HIT!  I'M HIT!

HYBRIS:  SUBMIT DAMAGE REPORT.

SS:  INTERESTING.  THE STRENGTH OF THEIR ATTACK DEPENDS ON WHERE THE MISSLES
STRIKE THE SHIP.

HYBRIS:   REMEMBER,  YOU  HAVE  THE CAPACITY TO CARRY ONLY THREE SMARTBOMBS.
BETTER SAVE THEM FOR USE IN TIGHT SPOTS.

SS:  I THINK I'M IN ONE NOW.....
