This is General Kingston speaking. The year is 2074, and this message is for all military personnel still active. The war continues. We have suffered great losses. But our hope remains intact. When you first enlisted to fight for our cause, I’m sure a great many of you imagined what it might be like here, at the frontline. I am sure the reality is somewhat different. But know this; your countries, your families, your makers – they are proud of you. 

Our enemies are strong. Resilient. Effective. They have struck our armies. Our homes. Our families. They are in the oceans, and the skies and in the very air we breathe. But we are stronger. We are more resilient, more effective. And we will not go down without a fight. 

To our able-bodied men, women, and androids, your orders are as follows. 

Re-group with your comrades north of the border. Seek out any signs of intelligence life, human or otherwise, and destroy it. Await further instructions.

I believe we are a better species for having fought this war. Someday, the rest of the world will see that, too.
This is General Kingston, signing off.
