      The energy of the
      Great Explosion that
      formed our planet eons
      ago became trapped in
     bundles of carbon, the
     Ice Crystals. They are a source of our
   power, our energy, and life.  A recent discovery
 in the wastelands of Iczzet Sector has yielded a
new outcropping of the Crystals.  Unfortunately,
Planet Bone has detected our activity and will
attempt to destroy our limited resources.

Additional data feed: Kryos intelligence reports
of the peculiar nature of deployment for Biowolf
troops, referred to only as the "Swarm". Drones
will attack in a massive advance, in a futile
attempt to overpower heavy artillery.
*      A processing plant
      has been constructed,
      and Crystal mining
      operations are at 96%.
      Your efforts have
      ensured the
      continuation of
     planetary operations.
     Our homeworld is safe ... for the moment.
   Because of your past victories, you will now
 advance to duties beyond the wasteland.
*      Once thought to be
      indestructible, our
      precious Crystals have
      been rendered useless
      by War Dog acid. The
      Iczzet Sector has been
      quarantined until
     further notice. Much of
     the war effort will be scaled back due to
   the limited resources resulting from our
 recent loss.
