Transcript
1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: Colonel, S.O.S. message comm's just come in.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: If you can hear this, it might not be too late. Unmarked ships are attacking and many people are dying! We know planet FT957 is far from any other colony, but, if you have any humanity, please, send help immediately -- otherwise, our world is doomed! I don't know if this damn thing is working!
1ST LIEUTENANT VELINA SOSA: I have the Admiral.
ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: Something terrible has apparently happened in the Telamon system, but we don't know what. Now, you're the closest ship I have to a jump point that'll take you out there. Telamon is such a frontier system that their planets have retained their original discovery numbers, but it's still part of the Border Worlds Union. All systems are equal in our eyes.
COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BLAIR: Now, if there's a fire to put out there, let's do it. Plot us for Telamon. Admiral, any news of Captain Eisen?
ADMIRAL DANIEL WILFORD: None, I'm afraid, but I'll keep you posted if I hear anything. Wilford out.

the video and audio in the clip go in and out, as if fierce solar flares, or some other weird anomaly, took its toll on the transmission.
the image of a TELAMON FEMALE vibrates over the snow.
