===================================================================

[TKEL]: [clears throat]

[TKEL]: Our initial investigation into the colony has produced more questions than answers, and we—

[ORION]: No.

[TKEL]: What?

[ORION]: "More questions than answers" sounds weak.

[TKEL]: [sighs] All right.

[TKEL]: UESC forces have been… successfully deployed to Tau Ceti IV.

[TKEL]: Our units on the ground show the colony in disarray. The… events that took place here remain opaque.

[TKEL]: Those who survived the various crises left behind little for us to go on.

[ORION]: We need to say something positive.

[TKEL]: Can you think of anything positive to say about this train wreck?

[ORION]: Mind your tone, Officer.

[TKEL]: Apologies, Captain.

[TKEL]: But why am I giving the report? Shouldn't it all come from you?

[ORION]: Sulera believes you put a "nicer face" on the operation. At least for PR.

[TKEL]: [laughs, sighs]

[ORION]: Go on—something positive.

[TKEL]: Um… Initial recovery efforts have been costly but successful. There is much to salvage from the colony, and much to learn.

[TKEL]: There, optimism.

[ORION]: [scoffs]

[TKEL]: Runners from the Sol system continue to arrive, but… they present no significant challenge to UESC efforts.

[TKEL]: Anyone found trespassing is promptly apprehended and detained.

[ORION]: Sounds nice.

[TKEL]: Well, that's what Sulera wants, isn't it? A nice lie?

[ORION]: Huh, yes. That's what Sulera wants.
