| - Well, not me specifically. But our labs will be able to analyze these things down to the molecular level and that should tell us a thing or two.
- I can tell you what I'm guessing, but there are few facts available. The aliens seem to have come through the Star Portal by accident and they can't seem to use it to get back.
- That's true. And I know some people that would give a lot to get that kind of equipment to a lab for analysis.
- A group of concerned citizens, that's all.
- We had an agen...errr...fellow concerned citizen here watching the portal when the ETs first came through. They seemed quite disorganized and flustered initially, only settling down to dig their burrow bunkers after they gave up on getting out through the Star Portal.
- Is that something you need help with?
- No, it does not.
- Of course not.
- So...what did you find out?
- Star Portal? What's that?
- Sure! I'd be glad to help!
- What can I do for you today, citizen?
- What's going on around here?
- Uh, right. Okay, we're a *well-funded* group of concerned citizens. Keep bringing me info on these aliens and I'll let you in on what our scientists found out about these components you've shown me.
- Normally, no. But our...groups of citizens...is spread pretty thin right now. Would you be willing to test yourself against these ETs and bring me back some of their equipment?
- It appears that the Star Portal has been used by an unknown species to invade this area.
- All right then. I'm fairly certain that the rings you're wearing will still be effective against these ETs, even though they're not Animated. See if you can knock some of them out and then come back and tell me what sorts of things you find on them.
- Well done! You might have the stuff to join our little...society of well-meaning citizens...if you keep that up.
- Can you tell me more about that 'unknown species' in the area?
- * Can you tell me more about that 'unknown species' in the area?
*
- That's probably a negative. Rather, we think that the portal was partially re-activated by whatever caused the Animated to start appearing.
- Don't get all smarmy, junior. If we had more men available right now, we'd already have shipped you off somewhere as a security risk. But for now, we're appreciative of your assistance.
- That Star Portal was left here by the Zurg when they invaded our planet briefly a couple years ago. It's been inactive since that time, but recently began discharging energy at around the same time that the Animated began appearing in the area.
