    //A piece of amateur footage would be uploaded to a common video sharing service used by Havenites//​

    //The video would begin from a shaky body camera, seemingly from the sky bridge of Haven's skyscrapers. It seemed to be from the perspective of two people facing a pair of guards, identifiable as Miyake and Sean Castle. Miyake has a hand on their pistol, and their partner has a sword in hand. Standing near the man filming is a red giant novakid, a Winchester-looking rifle in his hands, face covered with a baseball cap and a black neckerchief.//

    Miyake: They'd unhook their weapon, holding it at a 45 angle to the two. The weapon looked like a Vector with extended, vertical grip, silencer, holo sight and a modified stock.

    Masked Rioter: "You stand to hurt this entire Federation if you allow those monsters to walk unabated!"

    Masked Rioter: "The shadows will fall!"

    Masked Red Giant Rioter: "Shadows fall!"

    Sean Castle: "What, hylotl? NOTHING I HATE MORE THAN RACISTS!" He barks in a deep Irish accent as his face-plate starts to glow brighter.

    Masked Red Giant Rioter: "Those monsters ain't gotta' be here! You know what they can do!"

    Masked Rioter: "Are you an idiot?! The shifters!"

    Miyake: They hold their hand out. "We understand your frustrations, but hurting people makes you no better than what they are." They step forward, putting their hand back on their weapon.

    //A loud crash sounds behind the person recording, causing them to turn. Standing before them is a massive, monstrous creature, easily over 10' tall, with several large, spider like legs; thick, chitinous plating, and a face covered in eyes and a gaping maw filled with sharp teeth. Its face would contort in rage as it stared down the one filming and his partner.//

    Sean Castle: "What you callin' our Echo friends down there shifty? Just cause they wear black." He takes another step forward behind Miyake.

    Masked Red Giant Rioter: "Every day they kill thousands! Their blood kills and their form invokes fear!"

    Miyake: Miyake takes another step forward, turning to hold her hand out to Sean again, telling him to stop for a second. "We all need to be quiet, an calm down." They made their voice loud. "I don't want to see anyone hurt that doesn't need to be." They'd turn back around.

    Masked Red Giant Rioter: "Are you a traitor, Protector?"

    //As Miyake speaks that, the Shifter would charge, legs carrying him forward. His arms extend, and with a simple swipe, he attempts to bat both of the masked individuals off the rooftop, sending the cameraman flying seconds before he throws a Molotov into the face of the beast, setting it alight. The cameraman shouts "SHADOWS FALL!" as he goes into the air, the Red Giant shouting as he grabs onto his hand. Miyaki would snap her weapon up, firing her ACP into the Shifter as it finished charging. However, the two rioters would end up letting go of their stance on the ledge, falling onto a bike hovering below, seemingly having been called by the two earlier.//

    Masked Red Giant Rioter: "Close one!"

    //Sean Castle would look over the ledge, firing an optic laser at the back of the bike//

    Sean: "Oh no you don't."

    //The Shifter turns to look at Miyake as she fires into him. The fire licks at his flesh, burning it black. He wordlessly looks at the protector.//
    "Are you quite done?"

    //The bike would take some damage to the back of it, though the Apex would speed off, it wasn't rendered incapable of being driven, or else that might've just doomed two civilians to a certain death. The video would end shortly after this, though the view was given of the two Protectors putting away their weapons and speaking to the beast which has just been responsible for charging the group.//

    The Guards who have been tasked with the duty of protecting Haven to their greatest ability have failed us. Members among them have attempted to kill their own citizens, trying to drop them to a certain death, and clearly have no idea what they are doing in even the most remote sense of the idea. They allow for the Shifters to roam freely, regardless of the chaos and damage they've caused to everything they touch. Shadows Fall.

    ATTENTION, ALL HAVEN FEDERATION CITIZENS
    _________________________________________________________________________

    Effective immediately, any and all travel to and from Corrav will cease by order of the Haven Federation. The 27th Federation Infantry Division, 31st Armored Brigade, and the 94th Air Brigade have been deployed to enforce this mandate and all corresponding containment procedures. Any person(s) who attempts to bypass these procedures will be subject to felonious charges and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Any attempt to hamper the activities of Guard or Military personnel will be handled accordingly at the discretion of the aforementioned authorities.

    If you or someone you know is infected with the as-of-yet-unidentified pathogen, please contact the emergency services hotline and personnel will arrive to escort all afflicted to designated treatment zones within the district. If you suspect someone to be afflicted, alert emergency services with all pertinent details regarding the individual. Military and emergency service personnel will arrive shortly to escort them to a treatment center.

    It is recommended that you stay indoors. Supplies will be delivered routinely by Guard and Military personnel twice a day.

    Continue to follow all disease avoidance guidelines supplied on this page:

    ->Wash your hands. This is especially important before and after preparing food, before eating, and after using the toilet. Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth with your hands, as that's a common way germs enter the body.

    ->Get vaccinated. Immuno-boosters and vitamins are supplied in your rations.

    ->Stay home when ill. Don't go to work if you are vomiting, have diarrhea or have a fever. Don't send your child to school if he or she has these signs and symptoms, either.

    ->Prepare food safely. Keep counters and other kitchen surfaces clean when preparing meals. Cook foods to the proper temperature using a food thermometer to check for doneness. For ground meats, that means at least 160 F (71 C); for poultry, 165 F (74 C); and for most other meat, at least 145 F (63 C).
    In addition, promptly refrigerate leftovers- don't let cooked foods remain at room temperature for extended periods of time.

    ->Practice safe sex. Always use condoms if you or your partner has a history of sexually transmitted infections or high-risk behavior.

    ->Don't share personal items. Use your own toothbrush, comb and razor. Avoid sharing drinking glasses or dining utensils.

    ->Travel wisely. If you do not need to make a trip, don't! Supplies will be handed out by Military and Guard personnel at regular intervals daily.

    Once again, known symptoms include but are not limited to:
    - Coughing
    - Excessive Sweating
    - Sneezing
    - Runny Nose
    - Hyper Salivation
    - Necrosis of the Skin
    - Chills
    - Muscle aches
    - Weakness
    - Rashes
    - Autophagia (Self Cannibalism)
    - Immune Suppression
    - Pulmonary Fibrosis
    - Skin Lesions
    - Inflammation of the digestive tract
    - Vomiting
    - Fever
    - Diarrhea
    - Confusion
    - Blood in vomit or stool
    - Internal Hemorrhaging
    - Immunosuppression

    A strict curfew of 8:30 P.M. Haven Central Time is in effect. If you are outside after the curfew, alert the nearest Guard or Military Personnel for escort home. Those purposefully breaking curfew will be subject to prosecution ranging from misdemeanor failure to obey Mandate statute to Felony conspiracy charges.

    We ask that all Citizens abide by the restrictions set in place to quickly subdue this outbreak and so that we may all return to normalcy as soon as possible.

    Thank you.

    // An official transmission made by the Ascended has surfaced, playing proudly on public systems and being copied onto the Nexus. //

    // Some kind of creature stands in-front of the camera, its three eyes staring into the void before it focuses onto something behind the camera. //
    "Being... High Ascended Keartu... Orders, establishing control of civil space borders... Hylotl empire.. aggressive response... Threaten war, unlogical due to already ongoing conflict... Resources expected to be low... War meaningless to Ascended.. Will distance from borders... Border extrusion into Ascended space.. Punished... Vessels of Civiian space entering Ascended space... Punished... Do not tolerate foreign matter in Ascended space.. highly punishable... Focus on new plans... Evolve... Adapt... Spread... Fringe unpredictable... High resistance met... Resistance futile.... Civilian space.. to be avoided..."
    "All active fleets.. distance from civilian space... borders... if.. Hylotl break their own request... and break into fringe... Conflict to be born.. Death will be endless... fear will spread... Illogical outcome... We shall.... Leave civilian space.... Civilian space.. should leave.. Fringe."

    "Keartu... spoken.. All ascended... this being has given... Command... New orders to be expected..."


    // After the transmission ended it attempted to repeat itself as it continues to copy itself and spread //

    // A sudden wave of emergency broadcasts appear out of no where, one of them sticking out the most, a transmission named "Sector_48 "Last Frontier" drone" //

    // Establishing connection . . . //

    // Connection established, loading interface . . . //

    // Complete, playing transmission . . . //


    // You are greeted by a chaotic battlefield, several unknown ships holding off a large fleet of bioships, fighters swarming the battlefield with larger ships returning fire at one another. Several bioships have strange markings on their hull, the quality of the transmission not allowing for a closer inspection. Several voices are speaking in the background, a few of them being louder than the rest. //
    "Sector overrun, I repeat sector overrun. We have lost our fallback point and Infested fleets are rapidly advancing. Leave ground troops and prepare an emergency jump. We cant deal with this anymo-"

    // The voice is cut short by a massive explosion, the camera turning as a large ship approaches the battlefield. It seems ancient, the hull beaten and old with biomass growing ontop of it, a maw slowly becoming visible at the tip of the ship. Its being briefly scanned, making it obvious that its some kind of bioship inside the hull of some ancient ship, much older in design. The video feed begins to decay in quality before cutting short. //

    // Connection closed. . . //

    // New transmission found, connect? Y / N? //

    // Connecting . . . //

    // Connection established //

    // A young human male stands in front of the camera, several fighters flying over him towards a destroyed city, larger ships descending from orbit. He looks at the camera man for a second, mumbling to himself before she directly looks at the camera while his hand runs through his hair for a second //
    "Hello ladies and gentleman of all races, I am Timothy Gen from Placholdr news reporting outside the city of New Montreal. As you can see by the action going on behind me, this is one of the many cities currently under siege by the Infested scourge. Since our last look regarding this topic many have asked themself why the Infested have suddenly halted their invasion efforts, well everyone. The Federal Biohazard Command has reported that they are currently thinking about handing over the intel they have gathered while fighting the Infested and during one of their meetings with interested scientist did they hint on a new dangerous project our Infested friends have been working on, dubbed the Relic. We dont know what it is, but apparently the Federal Biohazard Command does, and everyone is waiting on their ca-

    // An open broadcast is being played, right in the heavily defended Infestation rim //

    // The video shows a large fleet flying near several planetoids, many of the vessels are badly damaged with sections of the hull missing, some of the engines being disabled and a large amount of scrap flying off one of the vessels. The video zooms out, revealing a massive vessel which can be identified as the FBC flagship flying ahead, on closer inspection however it would be quite clear that the ships are retreating towards the systems rim as a horde of Infested and bioships appear on screen, cannons and lasers being shot at the retreating ships one of them exploding due to the massive damage it has recieved. The destroyed ship sends massive amounts of hull parts around the battle field, many of them damaging nearby FBC ships. //

    // The camera view switches, giving the viewer a top down perspective of the battle, making it noticeable that the fleet hunting the FBC ships is gigantic, a large portion of it being infested ships many of them comprised of several ships held together by a strange red biomass. //

    // As the battle continue more ships arrive on both ends, heavy reinforcements arrive on the FBC's side, several modified cruisers that sport heavy thermal lance their sides that quickly open fire on the Infested ships protecting the bioships firing at the retreating ships. The Infested ships receive heavy damage, several pieces breaking off from one of the ship before it explodes, sending chunks of the infested spaceships hull around. As the tide of battle turns it is now alot more noticeable that the Infested have already won this battle, as the flagships engine overload and explode, explosions blowing around pieces of the ship before it erupts in a massive explosion, nearby ships being torn into pieces while the newly arrived FBC cruisers receiving massive amounts of damage quickly responding to it by retreating rapidly. //

    // The picture changes to a view of the Galactic map, the Infestation zone slowly expanding into the fringe, several other zones slowly appearing inside the Fringe however expanding much slower. A voice starts to talk, radio chatter in the background. //
    "Containment has failed, retreat back to Zone A-16, reform and extract any resources left behind. If orders are completed, start project Gatekey..."

    // The video stops, however the message was clear to the average viewer. //

    //A Martian notice was posted publicly. Given their isolationist policies, this could amount to a warning.//

    "All Martian individuals have evacuated the Planet on a massive colony ship which has been named.. "The Glorious" after our latest samples of The Ruin showed alarming mutations that could lead to overwhelming complications in our attempt to retake the planet earth. As of now we are retreating. And we have no plans on returning to fight"

    //An announcement is Posted in plain text//

    The Martian Ark is en route to provide study samples of the beast to various galactic governments that request it. The samples contain the same mutation signs that caused us to flee home. We do this in hopes that it can be understood as soon as possible.
