*A man steps in front of the camera and idles for several seconds, watching as if through the camera. Several coughs are heard from the distance as well as footsteps walking the silent corridors of the Aegis. The Ship's lights were mostly shut, leaving little to see outside of one who sent this transmission. Finally, the man begins to speak in a rather monotone accent devoid of any sort of emotions in short sentences*
They have been condemned. They - forgotten. These foolish entities that call themselves the "Bretonian Armed Forces" have fallen prey to the Monolith's wrath. Entrapped. Caught in the net, yes. Six - hostages. Kept well within the cells. Bretonians - all. The war machine that abandoned them - destroyed. The Redoubt has been disabled, yes. The Monolith offers the hostages to you for a greater goal.
*The man suddenly stops speaking and shakes his head, lowering it from the camera's sight. Muttering could still be heard in the background - several presumed crew members stood not too far away, talking between each other in an incomprehensible way. By the moment one of them came closer to the camera, the sender got up, still dazed out of nowhere*
Here...I...what? No, Monolith. The hostages await pickup. We await your arrival.

Greetings, comrades.
This is 8.827 A.S. and you can see that New Year was 8 days ago. Its already time to stop drink and cease scaring the transports crews by peregar.
If you dont know what to do with captured war prizes, open your duty instructions and transfer them at prison blocks accordingly.
We sincerely hope that you will continue to serve appropriately before we will obliged to apply any punishments. Some people already displeased by this "religious nonsense".
*The same sender shows up in front of the camera. Static, speaking in a monotone accent*
Drink...no...no. I cannot sleep. Cannot drink. The Monolith requires vigilance. Religion...something that does not exist. Still people believe it. Monolith is real. Watches us - Warriors of The Monolith. Prosper. Serve. I...no. I...yes. The Monolith demands us to...assist. Fell from the sky - showed true power. No...Monolit...VRAG MONOLITA. No. NO NO! AAA-
*the initial transmission cuts abruptly as the sender begins to yell fanatically, and the transmission is switched to another source located somewhere else. A man in a lab coat with a censored face sits on a chair in front of the camera. He speaks with an obvious Russian accent, excited.*
Oh, tsk tsk. The formula needs reworking...very well. Rewrite partial orders...this goes here...ah! Khorosho! Thank you for your patience, respectable S.C.E.C representative. It appears that the human brain is harder to control than expected. I will let you two return to it.
*the transmission between the unknown scientist and the SCEC representative ends and the connection is switched back between Fanatic and the Representative*
We. Will continue serving the Coalition. The Monolith wills it. Prisoners will be interrogated and soon join the Coalition. They all do. Nobody denies the Monolith - the truth.
