Sometimes we think we're on the right side...
That we're doing the right thing...
We believe the side we're on is just
and act upon our instincts in hopes that the light will drown out the dark.
This is what we thought when we decided to steal the artifact.
But the harsh reality is
sometimes you never really know if the side you are on is one of righteousness or falsehood until it's too late.
We were wrong... very wrong.
The artifact unknowingly activated.
It transmitted our location
and much classified data about our solar system was released into unknown hands.
We don't know who sent this beacon who received its transmission or what their intentions are.
The only thing we can be certain of is...
We are not alone.
