Counter Attack

* Operative Smith: “After the last few weeks of battle we can tell it’s starting to take a toll on them. The strength of their onslaught has significantly weakened! It’s time to figure out who this new enemy is, so we can take the fight to them. First we need to identify their species. Try to find an enemy pilot... dead or alive!”
* Operative Smith: “Excellent work... although the corpse is quite badly damaged it’s a good start. Bring the remains to the AFIS HQ station in Arrenius, perhaps they can reconstruct an image of what it used to look like... before you blew it up...”

Part 2

* Operative Smith: “Bring the remains to the AFIS HQ station in Arrenius, perhaps they can reconstruct an image of what it used to look like... before you blew it up.”
* AF Agent: “What have you got for us this time? Really???? You want me to do what?? Sigh... I wonder why I signed up for this line of work.
Okok... I’ll get to work... To complete this task I’ll need some supplies from the AF Research Station here in Arrenius.“

Part 3

* To complete the task of reconstructing the corpse the AF Agent requires some supplies from the AF Research Station here in Arrenius.
* Lieutenant Keryn: “Hi there hero! Long time no see. What’s Fulzar like?
A supply request? Sure I’ll get the supplies you requested right away!”

Part 4

* Go to AFIS HQ in Arrenius
* AF Agent: “That was fast... sigh... I guess I have to get on with reconstructing the corpse then...”
Several hours later
AF Agent: “This is the best I can do... Oh? You think recognize this species? I didn’t expect that. Who is this Xhargreg you speak of?”
Go search for Xhargreg at the Abandoned Factory in Fulzar

Part 5

* You recognized that special kind of alien species very well, you have definitely encountered one before.
You feel you better go talk to Xhargreg, right away.
Xhargreg was last seen at the Abandoned Factory in Fulzar
* Giant Mutated Wasp: “Bzzzzz!”
Crew: “Eeeek! Not again! Please, Captain let’s go somewhere else?”
Giant Mutated Wasp: \*sad bzzz\*

Part 6

* Go search for Xhargreg at his research station in Zergelin.
* Xhargreg: ”Why hello there! Who might you be? Never mind... there are more important issues at hand... hmmm wait a minute... do bugs have hands? I meant there are more important issues at \*BUG LEGS\*! HAHAhahehhehaaha... \*coughing\*... haHAehhehaaha... ehgh... why are you still here?”
\*Xhargreg shuts the door\*
You can only think of one way to get Xhargreg attention... guess it’s back to Hozar again.

Part 7

* Gather 88 Bug Legs.

Part 8

* Bring the Bug Legs to Xhargreg in Zergelin.
* Xhargreg: ”Why hello there! Look at all those Bug Leg! That’s the best gift anyone could ever wish for!!! Oh? You want my help? ... wait... what have you got there? Eeep! Oh... phew... it’s dead...
It’s been a long long time since I saw another one of my species... although not long enough... hahahharghga.....”
\*Xhargreg pokes the corpse with a bug leg\*
Xhargreg: ”You say they have appeared in Fulzar? That’s terrible news! \*Sob\* All our poor bug friends are in danger now! I must check on my poor wasp!
\*Xhargreg rushes off\*
Report back to Operative Smith in Fulzar.

Part 9

* Report back to Operative Smith in Fulzar.
* Operative Smith: “This was unexpected news... and potentially very useful... Since you already know someone of this species... you will have to follow this up. Your new mission is to find out more about this new species from your contact Xhargreg. What’s this species called? Where do they attack from? What are their weaknesses?”

Part 10

* Go to Xhargreg at the Abandoned Factory in Fulzar.
* Giant Mutated Wasp: “Bzzzzz!”
Xhargreg: “Bzzzzz! bzzz?”
Giant Mutated Wasp: “Bzzzzz bzzz.”
Crew: “What’s going on???”
Xhargreg: “Great news everybody! All our wasp friends are safe!”
\*Two hours later\*
Xhargreg: “Oh, you want to know more about my species? Okok... they are called the Nexar... they live in Vorsan now... bla bla... they don’t like bugs... blabla... they can travel through black holes... \*\*\*BORING!!!\*\*\*
Let’s change the subject to something a little more interesting... like ANTS!
Hmmm... got any advice on how to get ants?”

Part 11

* Report back to Operative Smith at the Warp Gate in Fulzar.
* Operative Smith: “Ok, not much information, but it’s something at least. Our first step should be to enter Vorsan. There should be an old inoperative Warp Gate there... it can be reactivated from this side, how ever that will be very expensive. We can assist with some of the required data chips.”

Part 12

* Find your way into Vorsan.
* Operative Smith: “Excellent finally some progress! But... look at that thing they have constructed in here... their defenses are truly impressive. Breaking through their defenses is not going to be easy. Contact Admiral McArthur, at the Research Station here in Vorsan.”

Part 13

* Contact Admiral McArthur, at the Research Station here in Vorsan.
* Admiral McArthur: “Greetings Captain, I have heard a lot about you from Admiral Ymer. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you in person. It’s time to get to work. We have to do something about those bombers, it’s going to be extremely difficult to keep our foothold here with those bombers operating freely. Our defence forces are helpless due to the enemy's stealth technology.”

Part 14

* Destroy 75 Nexar Stealth Bombers in Vorsan.
* Admiral McArthur: “Hmm..... that took longer than I expected... Maybe your reputation was a bit exaggerated? Anyway... we got a lot of work to do here.
The key to victory in any war is knowledge about the opponent. How do they operate? What are their strong points? Weak points? Habits? Engage a couple of Skirmishers and Cluster bombers, and we’ll observe their behavior from here.

Part 15

* Engage in battle with 20 Nexar Skirmishers or Nexar Cluster Bombers.
* Admiral McArthur: “Interesting... they don’t show much teamwork. Next take out the an enemy strongholds. I expect you back within a few hours.”

Part 16

* Destroy a Nexar Strongholds in Vorsan.
* Admiral McArthur: “Those things are much tougher than they look. I wonder how so many of those large ships fits in there? Perhaps they contain some kind of teleportation devices or maybe even void portals?”

Part 17

* Admiral McArthur: “Their defenses does indeed look impressive. A five layered onion... each layer protected by a force field barrier. Each force field does only have one entrance and it’s very heavily defended by bases sporting those nasty Heavy Weave Generators. Let’s try to break through the front gate. Start by taking out the 5 bases closes to the entrance.
* Admiral McArthur: “That wasn’t too bad... actually. Next it’s time to test the capability of the Nexar units stationed inside the first circle. Engage and take out 15 of them. The valid targets are Nexar Tank, Nexar Fighter and Nexar Projector.“

Part 18

* Engage and destroy 15 Nexar Ships. The valid targets are the Nexar Tank, the Nexar Fighter and the Nexar Projector.
* Admiral McArthur: “I have deviced a plan, AF have recently finished developing a mobile Safe Zone generator. Your first task is to take one and use it capture the Nexar Hangar in the first circle. The Safe Zone can be deployed after all the Nexar forces around the hangar have been defeated. The Safe Zone will go down if left unattended for more than 20 minutes, allowing the Nexar to recapture the hangar.”

Part 19

* Assist in capturing the Nexar Hangar located in the first circle!
* Admiral McArthur: “Excellent, this might give us access to Nexar technology!”

Part 20

* Admiral McArthur: “I got another mission for you in the meantime while our scientists investigates the Nexar Ships we found at the hangar. There is a planet located here in the first circle, make you way there and scan the surface.”
* Admiral McArthur: “Bring the data to the AF Research station located next to the Vorsan Warp Gate. While you were busy our scientist discovered a lot of useful information about Nexar Space Crafts, apparently they don’t have any life support systems. This means that the Nexar can survive at 3K and in the vacuum of space. Quite scary news... There are some good new as well, our engineers have figured out a way to add life support systems to Nexar Fighters. The downside is that the space consumed by the life support system weakens the vessels combat potential.

Part 21

* Return to Xhargregs Research Station in Zergilin with the bioengineering equipment.
* Xhargreg: ”Excellent job there, just the equipment I needed. I’m certain I can create a quite unique weapon with this. A weaponized gland capable of releasing a cloud of parasitic venom able to leech the targets life energy. However we still need a few more biological components... nothing in particularly difficult. Have you heard of “The Cleaner”? The Nezerians created that bio-engineering marvel to deal with their previous failed experiment... which I totally did not have anything to do with at all... erhhm yes, anyway there is a secret Nezerian research facility at x: -318, y: 752 in Sarkinon, where they are experimenting on Macrophages similar to the ones attached to the Cleaner. Gather samples from these. And here, a little bonus for your excellent work! Yes! It’s a bug leg! Enjoy!”

Part 22

* AF Scientist: “Most interesting, the planet lacks an atmosphere and any breathable gasses... quite the harsh environment for living on. This probably means that the Nexar doesn’t use sound for communication. Perhaps this explains why they haven’t answered any of our communication attempts. Strange... I read your report about Xhargreg... seems like he was able to speak. Anyway back to the war... Admiral McArthur requested that you assist in capturing the Nexar Recycle station located in the 2nd ring.”
* Admiral McArthur: “Excellent, seems like your reputation didn’t actually exceed you. This war is starting to go very well for us now. However a new threat have been reported, a force called the Nexar Elite is defending the inner circles. Your next task is to find and defeat a member of the Nexar Elite.”

Part 23

* Admiral McArthur: “A new threat have been reported, a force called the Nexar Elite is defending the inner circles. Your next task is to find and defeat a member of the Nexar Elite.”
* Admiral McArthur: “Well done! That was a really nasty enemy. Defeating the Nexar Elite is not going to be an easy task. There might be another option available... I have received the report based on your scan data. Apparently the Nexar are unable to use sound for communication. Perhaps it’s time for a new attempt at negotiating. For this we will need the help of that madman Xhargreg... please try to convince him to help us.”

Part 24

* Admiral McArthur: “I have received reports based on your scan data. Apparently the Nexar are unable to use sound for communication. Perhaps it’s time for a new attempt at negotiating. For this we will need the help of that madman Xhargreg... please try to convince him to help us. Find Xhargreg in Fulzar.”
* Xhargreg: “Greetings traveller! Have you found any ants yet?”
\*5 minutes later\*
Xhargreg: “Pff more questions about those bloody Nexar? Perhaps... for a bug leg... or even better 42 Bug Legs!”

Part 25

* Xhargreg agreed to help for the low low price of 42 Bug Legs... What's he doing with all the Bug Legs anyway?

Part 26

* Return to Xhargreg in Fulzar with the Bug Legs!
* Xhargreg: “Great, just in time... I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough Bug Legs for my next experiment... the glorious 42 foot wasp! Hehehahahhrhhehhghhg... finally... that must be \*it\*...”
\*10 minutes later\*
Xhargreg: “Why are you still here? Oh? Fine... yes Nexar doesn’t breather any gas... and we can easily survive in space... I had to make the fake voice box to speak with your weird species... Nexar uses chemicals signals for communications... You want me to do what... harghegghhfghd... fine... I’ll come with you to do this... negotiation... thing...”

Part 27

* Land on Zhersis in Vorsan... and let Xhargreg attempt to negotiating with the Nexar... can this possibly end well?
* Because of Xhargreg presence the Nexar didn’t open fire and you eventually managed to find a Nexar official of communicate with.
\*After a few minutes of Xhargreg and the Nexar standing in front of each other doing nothing... visible... the Nexar official suddenly turns very angry... and pulls a gun...\*
Xhargreg: “Now would be a good time to run! Hehehahahhehrhhg...”
\*You easily manage to escape the planet\*
Xhargreg: “Great news everyone! I successfully explained that AF intendeds to exterminate the Nexar as punishment for killing all those lovely bugs in Vorsan... Come see me once I have managed to set up a new research lab here in Vorsan... then we can continue with our plan!”
Crew: “Oh no... this can’t be good”

Part 28

* Return with the news to Admiral McArthur at the Vorsan Research Station.
* Admiral McArthur: ”That’s terrible news. I guess that ruined the chance of ever getting ending this war. Leave me... I need some time to think.“
