ALIENRACE citizens celebrated the machine, but three scientists one of which was NAME tried to reveal that K-wave role might not have been as impressive as was believed.

	<baseDescription>NAME had been looking for a pre Rockarian artefact in the peripheric space for decades. Slowly gathering clues, the beams finally converged a giant gazeous planet. Hidden behind a local natural magnetic field, the place could have been ignored for a long time. HE finally found a cave guarded by the Cult of Gaiatlas. After a furious fight, HE managed to steal the relic and engulf its retreat in a crystal swarm. The artifact proved that the ALIENRACE ancestors had come to Rocks Homelands satellite systems a ten millions years before, questionning who is the ancestor of who. On a more grounded plan, NAME realized HE had a breach on HIS left leg skin. Gaiatlassians may have a clue to find a way to HIM.</baseDescription>

After the robots turned the tide of the conflict, the AlphaEngis wanted to talk to a high ranking officer to discuss a new threat.
