Cdr. Amyus Bale - Personal Log - 14 April

The world is darkening quickly.

Adrienne dead, sure to the be the first of many.  Pip laid up in the infirmary, the corpse pallor of his face another of reminder of the consequences of my orders.

And now the enemy has changed its tactics.  No longer just the random abductions, the tentative cat and mouse between our birds and their UFOs.  The aliens have unleashed aerial bombardments against major cities worldwide, terrorising the civilian population.  It is a show of force beyond our worst imagining.  One we cannot hope to combat in the air.

Moscow, Paris, Tokyo, Mumbai, Washington DC... the list goes on.  All struck before we could react.

I've put our best guns on a Skyranger: Twitch, new Sergeant "Nix" Gent, Cpls. Hill and Saxby, and Sq. Borg.  They're headed for Kaduna, Nigeria, where there's still some hope that lives can be saved.

Good hunting.
