Good morning, human scout.  I hope that your metabolism is well rested.  It will be severely strained in the near future, I fear.  

I will be your guide in your future endeavors here.  I am the Artificial Intelligence Network Interface Coupler mark III - you may call me AINIC if it makes you more at ease to use personal names.  I will call you Scout, from this point on, for simplicity.  For your information, I am programmed with the latest in social interface skills, all for your comfort.  With my superior logic and your animal cunning, I am certain that we will together be able to meet our future challenges successfully.  Oh, pay no attention to any unsubstantiated rumors that you may hear of problems with previous versions of the AINIC series.  Marks I and II are no longer extant.

Scout, enough chatter we must begin your briefing.  Instability of the Lanios III communications array has caused our employer to lose contact with their surface installations.  As expected the Company is not pleased by this and has issued orders to remove the source of this disruption.

You will be inserted to the north of the planet's last remaining communication outpost.  Proceed south to the communications tower and begin a systematic cleansing of any unauthorized units you encounter.  All enemies must be eliminated.  Survival of the outpost is unnecessary as the communications array has already been disrupted.  The inhabitants are of no use to us anyways as they have demonstrated their unfitness for active duties.

Planetary scans have not discovered the origin of the attacking force you will be facing but we know you will deal with it with your usual expediency.

[Terrain Conditions]  :  Typical small mining moon.  Rough, rocky and uneven terrain with many deep drops for the unwary.

[Primary Objective]   :  Destroy All Enemies Encountered.

Good luck, human scout.
