COMM LOG - 12800 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: DR. KYTOL we have begun tests on the new shield and laz gun prototypes. the prospects are excellent! COMM LOG - 12801 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: DR. KYTOL the test results of the 6 prototype weapons have shown each laz gun to have increasing strength while also overcoming the prior cooling problems. our latest weapon appears to be of exceptional power! COMM LOG - 12802 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: DR. KYTOL our shields have shown higher protection with each test. the newest shield has the potential to leap years ahead of current technology. COMM LOG - 12803 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: DR. KYTOL i have informed high command of our breakthroughs. they are sending a team to assess our results. COMM LOG - 12804 TO: MAINTENANCE FROM: DR. KYTOL please check the space communicator. while trying to send a message, i had very high levels of interference. thank you. COMM LOG - 12805 TO: RALPH VADER FROM: DR. BORT i had the strangest dream last night. in my dream, i awakened to find an ancient zulu warrior bouncing on my bed! as i jumped up startled, he ran out the door. weird, huh? i think i'd better stop drinking that new extra rich "martian grown" coffee! well, i'll see you in the labs. COMM LOG - 12806 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: BASE COMMANDER please remember to conserve power by turning off all equipment that is not in use. thank you. COMM LOG - 12807 TO: DR. KYTOL FROM: DR. SPRAG we have completed work on the second version of prototype weapon #6 to be given to high command. it appears to mirror the performance of version #1. i will put it in safe storage pending their arrival. COMM LOG - 12808 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: BASE COMMANDER the high levels of interference have been traced to an unusual concentration of power behind the eleventh planet of parin. we will keep you informed. COMM LOG - 12809 TO: SPAZE N. VADER FROM: PAKMUN have you played the latest accolade hit test drive xxii? it has all the newest intergalactic sports ships like the transsteller v-9000! zero to tri-light speed in less than -20 minutes...., relatively speaking. this game is one awesome ride! uh oh! here comes my supervisor, gotta go! COMM LOG - 12810 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: MAINTENANCE PLEASE refrain from writing graphic descriptions on the bathroom walls about where the base re-processed food comes from! COMM LOG - 12811 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: BASE COMMANDER for entertainment tonight there will be a showing in the theater of the classic oldie e.t. iii: the invasion of earth! COMM LOG - 12812 TO: MAINTENANCE FROM: BASE COMMANDER due to the huge power surges emanating from parin planet eleven, our 7000 defense computer is having some trouble. please investigate. COMM LOG - 12813 TO: JOHN DOEWXPLEYTH FROM: DR. WHOM we have just compleated work on our newest weapon: the krellian battle sphere. it is armed only when the two halves are put together, providing for safe transport. the weapon is designed to destroy all enemy units within a 1500 meter radius without any residual radiation! one of these weapons will be on proud display in building two if anyone cares to see it. COMM LOG - 12814 TO: BASE COMMANDER FROM: MAINTENANCE 7000 defense system is glitching badly. unknown cause. request shutdown for limited testing period. COMM LOG - 12815 TO: BASE COMMANDER FROM: CAPT. SHALU we have lost contact with the recon craft sent to explore the power surge behind planet eleven. please advise. COMM LOG - 12816 TO: CAPT. SHALU FROM: BASE COMMANDER go to yellow alert until we hear from that recon craft! dispatch a rescue ship. COMM LOG - 12817 TO: RESEARCH TEAM FROM: DR. KYTOL please try to concentrate on your experiments despite the obvious turmoil caused by downed systems and excited military personnel. COMM LOG - 12818 TO: ADAM RAMBO FROM: EVE WILDER have you heard the new music album from cam? (computer aided music) they have a simulation of john denver's personality in rom. the hit song is "rocky five volts high" from the new album "i used to be intelligent, baby, but now i'm just artificial!" COMM LOG - 12819 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: E.F. hunted artistech development stock at the intergalactic stock exchange just sky rocketed! it split twice and is selling at 9.57 million per share! the five founding partners, now in cryo stasis are said to be worth billions! i hope you guys bought when i suggested it! COMM LOG - 12820 TO: MAINTENANCE FROM: BASE COMMANDER PRIORITY alert! 7000 def com just went down hard! please repair immediately. we are in the middle of a yellow alert and my defense computer is down? get it up! now! COMM LOG - 12821 TO: BASE COMMANDER FROM: LT. BERNELL multiple contacts bearing 257.5 by 311 gcp. fast incoming ships of unknown identity. there is no response to my hailing signals...in fact...we're being jammed. this is one big group of ships sir, and they're coming straight at us! COMM LOG - 12822 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: BASE COMMANDER go to red alert! deploy defense craft. the 7000 system is not responding. all mines are silent! get to manual battle stations! COMM LOG - 12823 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: BASE COMMANDER we are under attack by the forces of gar! i have sent an sos to high command. i only pray someone hears it! with the size of this attack force and the 7000 system off-line, we will need assistance fast! COMM LOG - 12824 TO: CAPT. WELLER FROM: LT. QUYOM we have burned and distributed computer chips to our men that will help them defend against enemy traps including the spinners and teleporters. they fit into any standard modification slot. i suggest you pick up a few. COMM LOG - 12825 TO: ALL PERSONNEL FROM: BASE COMMANDER to those that can still read this, evacuate immediately! the base has been overrun! get out while you still can! COMM LOG - 12826 TO: DR. KYTOL FROM: BASE COMMANDER we can't hold out much longer. gar's troops are at the door! take whatever steps needed to hide or destroyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyy COMM LOG - 12827 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 4549 all sectors in buildings 1, 2, and 3 are secure. there are still small resistance pockets in buildings 4 and 5 sir, but we are taking care of that at this moment. COMM LOG - 12828 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 099-62 all sectors in building 4 and 5 are now secure. we are eliminating the last organisms that have surrendered. we will now begin our search supreme leader. COMM LOG - 12829 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 47382 none of the dead organisms match the graphic of dr. kytol. he has not been found. COMM LOG - 12830 TO: KYTOL FROM: GAR i know you are hiding here somewhere! i want that weapon and shield! come forth! give them to me and i might spare your miserable life! COMM LOG - 12831 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 378-212 kytol can not be found supreme leader. it appears all military organisms have been eliminated. we will continue our sweep. COMM LOG - 12832 TO: UNIT 893-1 FROM: UNIT 1234 we are in the process of laying additional traps and guards as a precaution against counterattack as per our combat programming. i calculate the odds of a counter attack taking place at 2 times 10 to the 28th to 1, but we will proceed as programmed. COMM LOG - 12833 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 558-019 found one hiding soldier organism. it was eliminated in interrogation. no new data learned. COMM LOG - 12834 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 28-9099 there are no other life forms in buildings except low level plants and, of course, you supreme leader. do you want the plants destroyed? COMM LOG - 12835 TO: GAR FROM: BATTLE UNIT 21 we are continuing search and scan of complex supreme leader. nothing yet. there is a large quantity of objects that were scattered in the assault. it will take us some time to gather and sort them. COMM LOG - 12836 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 2789-01 we now know why most of our internal clocks are no longer in sync after the earlier battle for the base. we have discovered a complex human made weapon that will stop us temporarily from functioning. it sends out a blast of high rf that overloads our circuits and forces a short shutdown for all robots that happened to be on the same level. we will send it to the labs in building 3 for evaluation. COMM LOG - 12837 TO: UNIT 081 FROM: UNIT 1002-33 we have discovered battle remains of a number of our troops. they appear to have been recently destroyed by a laz gun. suggest there may still be surviving defense forces. COMM LOG - 12838 TO: UNIT 1002-33 FROM: UNIT 83-99 error! there are no surviving defense forces! my instruments say no remaining life forms in the complex! battle groups 2 and 3 also confirm.., no life sign readings! i suggest you report to tech support for calibration! COMM LOG - 12839 TO: ALL UNITS FROM: GAR find me the new shield and laz gun prototypes! i want them now! COMM LOG - 12840 TO: GAR FROM: UNIT 28-9099 we have discovered a unique weapon on a dead defense organism. because of its vast energy consumption it can be used only once. it fires a plasma ball that is lethal to all units in its path. the energy ball appears to stop only after it hits a wall. we will bring it to you for your further inspection. there may be more of these. COMM LOG - 12841 TO: UNIT 45ACP FROM: UNIT 558-019 we have found more of our comrades destroyed. there is nothing on my scopes at this time but i picked up a brief alert from unit-3892 that was quickly terminated. unit-3892 can no longer be reached! suggest we investigate. COMM LOG - 12842 TO: UNIT 558-019 FROM: UNIT 0001 do not deviate from your program! find the shield and gun prototypes as gar has commanded! this is our number one priority! those that were destroyed were weak and should have been eliminated long ago. you know that the early designs have bad eye shielding. others were accidently short changed on armor just above the chin. but those that can stand after battle are of great design! we are the robots that will survive to see the final elimination of life! COMM LOG - 12843 TO: UNIT-1001 FROM: GAR NEVER speak openly of my robot's weaknesses! let me inform you that your model too has flaws! yes, heavy armor and firepower i gave you...brains, i regret, i did not! and weak legs will always be your nemesis! i have made many improvements since your production run! report immediately for de-activation! COMM LOG - 12844 TO: ADMIRAL UNIT 1 FROM: GAR bring the fleets farther into the parin system. i want every planet completely scanned for life! the humans may be hiding something! i want those that possess whole life to be shown what it is like to be a half-breed freak experiment. they must feel the intensity of my pain! only then, at their end, will they truly understand my hatred! we must then begin the usual strip mining of planet resources to replenish our strength! from here i will launch my final thrust to victory! COMM LOG - 12845 TO: GAR FROM: ADMIRAL UNIT 1 supreme leader, would it not be wise to completely dismantle the space defenses of the system before allowing our ships to be so vulnerable? COMM LOG - 12846 TO: ADMIRAL UNIT 1 FROM: GAR who are you to speak of wisdom? it is i who gave you what little intelligence you have! you have only a small splinter of my total knowledge! has not everything gone according to my plan? the defending units were suprised and destroyed, the 7000 defense program has been wiped out by our power beam with no hope of restoration, the space mines have no way of arming, and my elite guards have complete control of the base. we will get to the space defenses soon enough, but first we must find the living and help relieve them of their burden of existence. we must find the new technology they have chanced upon! it is the key to breaking the stalemate! now bring in the fleets and begin your scanning at once! COMM LOG - 12847 TO: UNIT 3290-32 FROM: UNIT 2789-01 we have found a laz weapon that appears to be unique. take it to gar immediately. COMM LOG - 12848 TO: ALL UNITS FROM: GAR MY legions, i have the 6th prototype weapon in my possession! it is as powerful as i had hoped. now that we have deprived the feeble humans of this accidental advantage, i will use it for our own. we will replicate the design and issue it to all my warriors. it is such wonderful irony that humanity gave us the very fire that will incinerate them forever! but first, there is a small problem that must be dealt with. i now know there is an intruder among us! far too many of my warriors have failed to check in, and many robot remains have been found! there must be an attacking renegade in the complex! it does not show up as a life form on our instruments so it must be mechanical. search it out and destroy it! COMM LOG - 12849 TO: INTRUDER FROM: GAR I DON'T know who or what you are. i do not read any other life forms in the complex. perhaps you are one of us, but i'm afraid you've come too late. did you really feel the destruction of a few of my warriors would sway the balance of power? you miserable little insect! have you no concept of who you are up against? rest assured that you will be witness to the final destruction of all life! you too will be destroyed as will your pitiful high command! the star league will crumble as it pays for its transgressions! they and their children will truely feel my agony! now, i have all the power i need for final victory. with this new weapon i can dismantle your every atom! would you like a taste of my anger. come then, come to your destruction!
