"Sir, we’ve just had another report of a MiniKnog lab in the X Sector going dark. It appears to be the group led by one of the rebels which assaulted no less than thirteen of our installations within sectors Alpha through to X within the last year.

"We failed to get footage of the Apex leading the group, however we did manage to recover this image from one of our security databanks just before the camera was assaulted by the Floran depicted.

"We believe that this is the Floran responsible for the atrocities inflicted upon our scientists, including the mutilation and cannibalism. Before you ask, sir, that is indeed Apex blood that she is more or less bathing in; it has not come from the Apex blood-bank within the facility as all four hundred pints were accounted for within the burned debris of the storage unit they were housed in.

"A human mech was seen assaulting the front gate of the facility, and a heavily armed Hylotl male was apparently butchering any who dared to attempt the rear exit to send for military backup.

"This is only one of almost three dozen facilities we have lost within the X Sector in the last month, all to Rebel incursions. We are unsure if we can keep this information from leaking to the public at this rate.

"… Your orders, sir?"
