Annora paces around a small room. She soon stops and turns herself toward the camera, taking a moment to collect herself.

Given Michael Jones' leave of absence, it falls to me to ensure the Underloch's survival. We have been stagnant, but I will not allow us to simply roll over and die. We are stronger than that.

The woman collects a stack of papers from a small side table.

I have taken the liberty of collecting the data on our ranks, but it won't do any good if they're outdated, will it?

She gives a wry smile.

Any Gaians receiving this transmission must send back verification on this same channel, listing their name, rank, and the callsigns and models of each ship that they fly. I will only accept transmissions for the next ten days. On February 25th, this channel will close. If you are still loyal to the Underloch, respond to this message immediately. If nobody responds to this channel...

She trails off for a moment, taking upon a more sullen expression, before she looks back to the camera.

Well, let's hope for both your sake and mine that you do respond. Gaia will not bleed.

She steps over to the camera and turns it off.
