(OTPC) -- Suddenly a transmission came trough and announced, “Friends, the time has come, we must gather as one. Make your way to either outside Newland, Old Athen hill or the southern end of Rome Red for an important address."
A group of loyal Omni-Tek employee's, as well as myself, headed toward Rome Red. The crowd grew impatient with waiting and upon seeing my hastily placed press badge started to ask me what was going on. My denial of any knowledge about this was ignored. Their attention was diverted when suddenly a message flashed into our NCU of the well-known CEO of Omni-Tek on Rub-Ka, Philip Ross.
Ross's transmission was cut and static ensued.Philip Ross: Good evening fellow inhabitants of Rubi-Ka.
Philip Ross: I come to you this evening with grave news.
Philip Ross: A hostile enemy force from a race we have not yet encountered has arrived in near planet orbit.
Philip Ross: They have NOT come in peace and mean to take our homes away from us through violent means.
Philip Ross: Omni-Tek has been aware of this pending invasion for some time and we have been taking steps to prepare for the defense of the planet.
Philip Ross: This message was triggered to auto run if any of these enemy ships breach our outer planetary security defenses, as I could not keep the population ignorant of this danger.
Philip Ross: It is with a sad heart that I find myself off planet speaking to the Board of Directors on Omni Prime about the continuing defense of this planet we all call home.

Most of the Omni-Tek employees scoffed at this message. A few believed there was more to the message that never made it to them. One employee by the name of Healteh "Coldshade" Monkeh, A Unit Leader of Band of Brothers, said, "The Chaos embodiments thought they could conquer us in the Shadowlands and they were wrong. Humanity has conquered every foe sent against us. The people of Rubi-Ka are a people bred for battle, trained and tested by the fires of Pandemonium itself. Let the aliens come, they will find us no easy prey" and Carey "Thrashbarg" Belote, a applicant of X-Com, in his disdain brought a valid point. He said, "Did Ross bail out on us? Are we left alone?"
