Everything we thought we knew, everything we had been told about being alone, was all proven wrong in the blink of an eye. No one had seen them coming. No one was prepared.

[%&%^ &*u *&$ #e* th#@ %$&king connection up so I can brief the field commanders?  Wait, that's it.  Close enough.  Gentlemen, I'm sure you've been appraised of the situation, either from Colonial Admin or simply watching CHVN, but allow me to recap regardless.  Two hours ago, a vessel of unknown origin entered orbit above the planet.  Attempts to communicate were ignored, but it took no actions, threatening or otherwise.  About 30 minutes ago it opened fire on the planet without warning, destroying the planetary defense guns and bombarding Grus Interstellar and Fort Randall.  We, uh..we got hit pretty hard here.  They're still trying to pull bodies out of the rubble.  It would have been a lot worse if the SS Hammerhead {datanetref:hammerhead} and the Nyx{datanetred:nyx} hasn't forced it to break off and engage them.  The Nyx was lost a short time later, with all hands.  From radio traffic we received during the fight, it looks like the Hammerhead actually rammed the alien ship and forced it into the atmosphere.  Unfortunately the Hammerhead broke up during the descent. We already have Marine teams out attempting to rescue any surviving lifeboats launched from her.  The problem is we're not the only ones with that idea.] [audible sigh]

[From what our scouts and civilian witnesses have reported, it seems the alien ship landed largely intact.  They're already mobilizing major forces and several dropships have already been sighted trying to reach the Hammerhead's lifeboats.  We have no idea why they're so desperate to reach those pods, probably to finish what they started in orbit.  The Marines are going to have to handle that, we have far bigger problems.  The main body of the alien forces are already on their way here.  We're going to delay them as long as we can while civilians evacuate to Grus City.  They'll be here shortly, so we don't have a lot of time left.  We've put together some information on the main alien units based on initial recon.]


[These monsters appear to be the main infantry force of the aliens.  We believe they call themselves Istrika; they insist on using that word before killing their opponent.  They're armed with some advanced energy rifles, far more effective than our solid-state laser weapons.  They're tenacious and brutal, fast and heavily armored.  Take them out at range or with vehicles, keep our guys away from them as much as possible.]


[This vehicle has to be one of their main tanks.  Well, tank-equivalent.  It hovers, allowing it to pass over obstacles that would stop even one of our Crusaders.  It's protected by an energy field unlike anything we've ever seen.  Only a concentrated barrage of fire will cause it to overload.  Even then, it still has heavy armor underneath.  It mounts what seems to be an improved version of the energy weapons carried by infantry units on an oscillating turret; we have footage of it taking out a Humvee and following up by downing a Predator gunship.  It's equally dangerous to everything we can field, make sure it's a priority to take out.]

[There are also several alien flyers operating in the area, they s%$&$ %& @#$@$% &&%&# @#$$#]

Nice to see other mods adding a little narrative into the media releases. It adds more of a build up to the images rather than just, "Here is a pic of a model we did." Kudos to you guys. The mod is looking good...

It has nothing to do with the shader. We have our own too.

You have your own? Sorry but that effect would be no problem to recreate with the original one. It really looks like the original TW shader..
