[Alliance] Lost Outpost Discovered

Lost Outpost Discovered

Yuri Kangawa – Alliance News Network

An Alliance patrol discovered a lost outpost on Fairgrounds M-26 (Horse Head Nebula) earlier this week with three surviving Alliance Marines on it.

An Alliance spokesperson explained that the remote planetoid had not been in any official mapping of Alliance posts in that region. When a Frigate on patrol closed in to examine the wreckage on it, however, it was fired upon by SAMs. Luckily, the crew evaded the attack and identified the weapon as Alliance. After further investigation, three humans were detected.

The recovered marines, two privates and an NCO, were reportedly under the impression they were under attack by Cerberus forces, but were finally convinced of the Alliance’s identity.

“All three are in a relatively healthy state, considering the time cut off from supplies," stated the Alliance representative. "It seems that the SAM was about the only piece of equipment left intact, as almost all ammunition for small arms had been spent."

Fairgrounds M-26 has a thin atmosphere and simple levo-based flora, which kept the three alive for nearly two years.

“We are just happy to go home, now," stated the NCO in a brief statement. "But first, I need a shower.”

More like they hired an outside company to do exactly what you suggested, seeing as they're already stretched ludicrously thin.
