Here are the extracts from the diary of unknown scientist of
the race Tekkos:
ôI am the chief analyst in the scientific research center of
the race Tekkos. There exist 4 races of living beings in our Galarion galaxy: Tekkos,
Kzeos, Insoid and Protorion. Until the latest events they had lived in peaceà
An unknown virus spread to the whole galaxy and infected most of the
star systems. It causes insanity and unprecedented aggression. Because of this virus the
conflicts between races burst out everywhere.
Nowadays the war acquired global meaning. All living beings are on the
break of self-destruction. This war is ruled by insanity, caused by the terrible virus
which came out of nowhere.
The only chance to survive is to destroy the source of the virus.
According to our information, coordinates locate this source at 1543.9877.3001 on the edge
of the galaxy. For this purpose we have built the handy ship ôBraveö which has the
energetic shield prototype for neutralizing virus activity. The way lies through the whole
galaxy where the insane hordes are ready to attack everyone. We can only wish the pilot
good luck. Life of all races depends on him."
