SUB: Urgent -- Alien Specimen Failure

[mail_alien_base_discovered] Sir, our operatives have discovered the location of a large alien installation on Earth. This installation represents a serious threat to PHALANX and to humanity at large, we must take it out ASAP.

[mail_stunned_alien_died] Commander,

I'm afraid I have some bad news. Despite our best efforts, the alien specimens recovered from our last tactical mission have expired in Containment. We were ultimately unable to stabilise their medical condition enough to learn anything useful.

Outward signals indicate the cause of death to be sudden and fatal asphyxiation. It seems the aliens can only live in our atmosphere for a limited time before they suffocate. We haven't performed a full examination on the body, not without your authorisation, but I strongly recommend that we move straight to autopsy at this point. We must find a way to keep them alive longer or we won't be able to conduct any meaningful research on them.

My autopsy request should be waiting in the R&D queue for your approval. Thank you, Commander.

Sincerely, Dr. Connor

Prerequisites:
 The first live alien has died in containment because Alien Breathing Apparatus has not been
 researched, AND Alien Breathing Apparatus is not available for research.

[mail_prolog] Welcome to your new post, Commander. You now have full command over the PHALANX Extraterrestrial Response Unit. Your mission is to protect the citizens of Earth and stop the alien threat at all costs. How you accomplish this is up to you; our only requirement is that you succeed.

Your first order of business is to set up a headquarters. The UN has access to military bases all over the world, so you may consider any region for your base of operations. Choose the location wisely, because it will have great influence on the success of the PHALANX project.

A recent analysis of the attacks on Mumbai and Bonn reveal that UFO sightings and alien activity seems to focus on the most densely populated regions of Earth, including coastal North- and South-America, Europe, Eastasia, South and Mediterranean Africa, and Australia. You should consider including these territories in your field of operations.

Once you've established your first base, you must prepare your soldiers. The recruits we have assigned to PHALANX must be stationed on your dropship, then equipped for battle.

Take care of them, Commander. The rest of us are all counting on you, and praying for you.

That is all. Good luck and good hunting.

[mail_prolog_2] Commander, this is just to let you know that the XO and I have logged all our findings from the UN-requested Excalibur Program to the system. They should now be available for you to read on the UFOpaedia database, all articles are flagged with security classifications based on who might find the information useful. Only you and the XO have Sigma-level clearance -- these documents may warrant special attention.

Since you were only just brought in, here is a quick introduction to the Excalibur Program, just in case the UN haven't fully briefed you.

---

The alien attack on Mumbai made our situation painfully clear. Their technology is far more advanced than ours. The complete inability of Commonwealth troops to make a dent in the Mumbai offensive revealed critical weaknesses in current military training and equipment. They lost three battalions just bringing the aliens to a standstill without inflicting significant casualties. PHALANX has to overcome these odds, and to do that we need the very best human technology has to offer.

The Excalibur Program was created to find the most effective weapons on Earth by reviewing their manufacturing standards, durability, operational record, and their combat performance in the situations where we've managed to bring the aliens to battle. These are weapons that we consider to be the pinnacle of their class, and we can allow nothing but the best to be in our agents' hands when we engage the aliens.

Also, from our experiences in Mumbai and other stricken cities, we've concluded that the aliens seem to concentrate their efforts on population centres, especially dense urban areas. A majority of engagements have taken place at pistol or even knife-fighting range. For the purposes of the Program, we've chosen several high-performance weapons for our Close Range Combat package and given them designations beginning with CRC.

The third part of our mission was to find armour and other items of battlefield utility to help our soldiers complete their missions and return to base alive. These items are all designed to increase a soldier's combat effectiveness or general survivability.

Lastly, we needed to select aircraft capable of intercepting the attacking UFOs and outfit them with armaments and equipment that will give them a fighting chance against these alien craft. We have evaluated every available piece of kit on Earth as part of the Program and we have selected the very best for the defence of our planet.

All my files should be ready to review at your convenience, Commander.
