Foundations

"Drake, your team is out of control. War is intellect, not a joyride.
I ordered you to secure the ammunition dump, not to use half of it for your personal fireworks display. I obviously can't trust you on the front lines - report to the east of the camp for guard duty. I'm assigning someone to babysit your band of amateurs." - General Magnusson

== Quotes ==
* "Aw hell, who built this? What a damned mess - the bugs'll just march through. We gotta shore this up before it's too late." - Drake, as soon as the mission starts.
* "Good stuff. It takes a while for our boys to build things, bit it's sure worth it. Heck, I even do it right in the enemy's face when I'm attackin." - Drake, after placing a turret.
* "Now we're rollin. Let's take the squad out for some shootin practice. Clear our the enemy and don't forget the turrets" - Drake, after finishing building the turret.
* "Good morning Captain Drake. I understand that we will be working together." - Doctor, after capturing the first Alien Hive. 
* "I don't know if you noticed doctor, but we're a bit busy over here! Why don't you go back to base, hmm?" - Drake, after capturing the second Alien Hive.
* "Then let me rephrase that, Captain. The General has placed your platoon under my direction. You work for me now." - Doctor, after capturing the third Alien Hive.
* "We don't take orders from scientists. You can that to Magnusson yourself. Now stop botherin me when I'm fightin." - Drake, after capturing the fourth Alien Hive.
* "Good work men. Intel's squawking that a large attack's comin from the west. Let's recycle everthin to return our metal. Don't worry, you get 100% of it back" - Drake, after capturing the fifth Alien Hive.
* "Hold on, looks like we'll need more metal here. I'm gonna call in a chopper with extras" - Drake, after recycling all of your upgrades and buildings.
* "Ding ding, dinner is ready! You can order one of your boys to drag those crates back to a point. That'll get us more metal" - Drake, after dropping Metal Crates from a helicopter.
* "Now that we're good on the metal, let's fortify the path to the west. I say 6 turrets should tear those alien to shreds." - Drake, after delivering the Metal Crates to a base.
* "Shhhhhhhhh! You feel that?" - Drake, after building the six turrets on the designated area.
* "Where in the seven hells did that thing come from? HOLD THE LINE DEVILS!" - Drake, after the discovery of an offensive Alien Hive.
* "Had me worried there for a while. Good job building that defense - didn't even break a sweat there." - Drake, after destroying the offensive Alien Hive.
