LERMAN: Welcome to another HNN News alert, I'm Carrie Lerman. Two days ago, a Novan attack on Ambience infrastructure disabled Hegemony autonomous forces with a malignant computer virus. We have not been given details as to the exact method that the Novans used to crack the Ambience Tactical Mainframe, but it was a devastating attack that disabled missile guidance systems, robot command systems, and aerial combat units. And yesterday, we saw riots breaking out in cities worldwide, urged on by dissident leadership and Novan propaganda from Africa. We're now seeing property destroyed in states across the globe, even in China. Loyal Hegemony citizens are urged to fight back against these heinous acts of meaningless aggression against civilians and businesses with no affiliation to the war effort; counter riots are beginning to suppress the traitorous Novan rioters in every city. The Hegemony urges all loyal citizens to fight back against this violence! The Novans want to take away our liberty, our freedom to do what we wish with whomever we wish; they are xenophobes, technophobes, autocrats, and they will do to Earth what they did on Nova. Starvation, corruption, decadence, moral reclusiveness, all things that were made history in the Hegemony decades ago will be back if you don't fight back, and with the help of the Zaha-Katchem, we may yet prevail! Long live the Terran Hegemony!

TRAN: Sensors confirm we've entered the Sol system. ETA to Earth is one minute.
HADRIAN: Is the black ship in orbit?
OKAMA: It's too early to tell sir. It has a low signature, and we're still moving considerably faster than light.
TRAN: I never thought we'd come here in my lifetime.
HADRIAN: Yeah, you're right.
TRAN: Dropping out of warp now, sir.
HADRIAN: Mr. Okama, what's out there?
OKAMA: I have a positive sensor lock on the black ship, sir. Also counting 67 ships dropping out of warp with us. Looks like the whole fleet made it.
KAYODE: Confirmed. All ships report in. Admiral Doromarith reports all Grushan warships accounted for. We're all here.
OKAMA: The black ship is altering course. It's headed right for us.
HADRIAN: As they should. Ms. Kayode, please open a communications channel to the black ship.
KAYODE: Aye sir. Channel is open.
HADRIAN: This is Admiral Rafael Hadrian, official representative of the Novan Alliance, from the flagship NSN Enterprise. Fuck you. Close channel.
