Hello PLAYERNAME, I've been meaning to talk to you for some time, but it seems Spiral HQ is keeping you very busy.
Hello, Lieutenant. How can I help you?
Vaelyn
As you know I am attempting to assemble a research team to work on-site in the Core terminal. In order to sucessfully utilize it to restore the Skylark, it is imperative that we reach it and set up this research station. All evidence seems to point towards you having the potential to finally reach the Core. By breaking through the Firestorm Citadel and establishing a link to the Core, my team could set up the necessary supply lines and get to work immediately. But we can't do that while that infernal citadel and its horrible ruler stand in our way.
I've prepared for facing the Firestorm Citadel, you can count on me.
Vaelyn
Thank you, PLAYERNAME. I hope you succeed. As you know, we believe the Alpha Squad made it this far, but it is unclear what become of them... Euclid, Parma, Grantz.... Rulen.
(Lieutenant Vaelyn seems to almost drift off)
Lieutenant?
Vaelyn
Sorry, yes of course. Good luck to you, PLAYERNAME. Assemble the best squad you can and lead them well. We're all counting on you.
