Earth - Act 1 Our Mars mission begins...s This planet is rich in powerful fuel crystals! Looks like we'll be here for a while. Earth Command has dropped cargo pods full of supplies. Set up a base and recover the cargo pods. Something's Out There Those green guys were not part of our plan! We need to know more about what we are dealing with. Capture an alien and bring it back to the base for study. A Purple Lode Our scouts have discovered a purple crystal that generates 10 times the energy of the green ones! Get out there and secure that crystal for Earth! Retaliation Our mission has been successful... perhaps, TOO successful. The Aliens are trying to knock out our contact with Earth Command. Protect our Eagle Command Base from the Alien attackers. Purple is the New Green Earth Command was delighted with that purple gem. Now they need more! Our equipment can't pinpoint the precise coordinates for the purple crystals, but we can tell when one is in this general area. Find another one of the purple crystals. Orders from Above Earth Command has discovered a way to detect the valuble crystal lodes more precisely. The only problem is, they have discovered one at the heart of an Alien base... Find the Alien Base and get the crystal - at any cost! Aliens - Act 1 Impact! Ziff! Do I have to do everything myself? I get distracted for a few minutes and we crash on some ziffing rock! Set up a temporary base before investigating the planet. Taken First the Earth creatures abduct our Builders, now they have taken our Drones! What on Mars could they want with my Drones? Find and free the captured Drones. Shock and Awe I know what these Earth creatures need... a good old-fashioned scare! I shall gather my forces and show them what we're made of! Prepare an attack group and engage the Earth base. Captured This is getting ziffing ridiculous - now they've captured one of my Laser Teams! If those Earth creatures really want to study us, they can study our elite attack troops! Find and free the captured Laser Team. Exodus These Earth creatures are driving me crazy. They've blocked the only path for us to get closer to the Mothership! We have to get a transport through Earth defenses. Move your transports past the Earth blockade. Earth - Act 2 A Hard Place A scouting group is pinned to the north of our position. The Aliens were able to take out their transport ships and are picking off the group one by one! Construct a Vehicle Factory and get some of your troops on a Transport Ship ASAP! Purple Haze Another purple crystal lode has been detected, but this time it is in the middle of a green crystal forest! It could take years to dig through all these crystals! Blast your way through the crystals in search of the purple power source. Search For Scum Attention Officers: By order of the Galactic Patrol we have been commissioned to hunt down and return several fugitives who have fled to Mars.Be careful of Alien hostiles interfering with your mission Track down the Space Criminals and return them to your base. Stranded A surveillance robot used to monitor Alien activity has crash-landed nearby. We have to retrieve the robot to gain the information stored within. Comb the nearby area in search of the stranded robot. The Motherlode Earth Command has identified a valuable cluster of THREE purple crystals! However, the Space Criminals have built defenses to protect each crystal while they search for a way to transport them. Build up an attack force and retrieve those crystals! Aliens - Act 2 Criminal Minds We aren't the only ones who dislike the Earth creatures! A group of Space Criminals is also stranded on this planet. Let's see if they can help us... Free the captured Space Criminal Leader. CryoLab Down Ziff! This isn't good at all! Not only did we crash land on this miserable rock but the Mothership seperated on entry into the atmosphere! Search for and secure the missing CryoLab. Hotwired Plisken, the leader of the Space criminals, has an interesting device that allows him to "borrow" the Earthling's equipment! This could really help us out. Use the Space Criminals to steal an Earth Claw Tank. Supply Lines My direct attack approach doesn't seem to be doing the trick. What if I cut off their food source? They'll have to give up if they can't eat! Find and destroy the Earth Biodomes. Missing in Action Just when things were starting to shape up, I find out the ziffing NavCore is also missing! We've detected a faint signal, but all these crystals seem to be preventing us from identifying the exact location. Search for the missing NavCore. Earth - Act 3 Ancient Treasure It seems that ancient civilizations also sought out these wondrous gems. Earth Command has found a purple crystal hidden in an elaborate machine controlled by two sets of Ruins. Repair the ancient Ruins in hopes of reactivating the machine. Drop Zone This planet can be cruel at the best of times, and we are desperately low on supplies. Earth Command has dropped cargo pods in this area - but dust storms have dispersed the cargo! Search the area for the cargo pods. Head Start Earth Command is relentless in their demand for purple crystals! They have detected a crystal neer our coordinates. We know the Aliens can get to our position quickly - but should have enough time to set up a strong base and an attack force. Carefully construct your base and attack force while you have the advantage. Mothership Connection We are about to make a push into the main Alien base. To bring down their gate we will need the security codes - and we can get the codes by capturing their robots! Capture two Alien robots. Aliens - Act 3 Running on Empty After everything else that has gone wrong, of course there was also a leak in our fuel tanks! We almost have the whole thing ready to go and we are running on empty! Seek out a purple crystal to power the mothership. Guidance I give up! The wiring in the NavCore melted! Now we'll need to build towers to provide telemetry. Those Earth creatures have already found the perfect tower locations... Destroy the three Earthling towers and construct our own. Feed The Fire Where did all the fuel go? I know we don't have any more ziffing leaks, but we still don't have enough fuel to launch the Mothership! We need more of these powerful purple crystals. Seek out another purple crystal to power the mothership. Freedom The Space Criminals have kept their word and helped us out in the fight against the Earthlings. Now we will return the favor and help them get out of here. Protect the Space Criminals while they prepare to leave the planet. The Final Countdown At long last, we're nearly ready to leave this misrable planet! A few more system checks and then we can power up and head home. Defend the Mothership in the final stages before lift off.
