USCM MISSION GOALS:

  • Extract civilian assets and all their data and materials
  • Minimise enemy interaction where possible
  • Transport all recovered assets to space station CABRILLO

But, what are the scientists working on that requires such secrecy?

6 Months after the events of the Goodman Protocol, resurgent eco-terrorist group, Galactic Dawn, mounted a raid on the covert research base where the science team were still analysing and researching both the tablet and the items the “Engineer” left behind.  A team of Colonial Marines had already been dispatched as intelligence had been received about the attack, but they arrived just as the lab was breached.  All the scientists and their evidence were successfully extracted, and they are now on their way to Cabrillo Station for debriefing.
