Frequent Alliance Spottings Have Colonists on Edge

Despite the Sun Tzu pulling out of orbit, the alliance attacks have continued to haunt our community.

Initially the attacks followed their usual pattern, dropships deploying troops. Those troops attempting to subdue the residents of Hales. Thankfully our allies are stronger and Hales remains proudly independent.

However, the past few days have seen a dramatic change in their tactics, leaving the town feeling on edge. Reports of solo alliance scouting into town, disappearing when engaged in combat.

Along with the sighting of the single alliance soldier, came the appearance of a large, menacing creature. The reports on the entity indicate it was gelatinous in nature, bearing many tentacles. It proved a difficult foe, as it was near invisible until very close, and standard ammunition seemed to ricochet off its surface. There were reports of additional creatures though little information is known on them.

The day following the attacks, an additional alliance scouting party was spotted near the mines. Intercepted transmissions indicate they were in search of some sort of fuel cell. Due to the diligence of the Militia and reinforcements, they were unsuccessful in their search.

There is no doubt they will continue until they find what they are looking for.
