And so it begins
There is a hole in your mind
What do you want?
No-one here is exactly what he appears
Nothings the same anymore
Commander Sinclair has been reassigned
Why don’t you eliminate the entire Narn homeworld while you are at it
I see a great hand, reaching out of the stars
Who are you?
President Clarke has signed a decree today, declaring martial law
These orders have forced us to declare indepence
Weapons supplies
Unless you people get of thier encounter suited butts and do something
You’re the one who was
If you go to Zahadum you will die
Why are you here?
Do you have anything worth living for?
I think of my beautiful city in flames
Like giants in the playground
Now get the hell out of our galaxy
We are here to place President Clarke under arrest
