<div class="IPBDescription">my backstory</div> Heres the backstory for the map im currently making, any comments or pointers on how to improve it would be gud
"This is Alex Vermont of TSA outpost 27-9, to anyone still in *radio interference* losing vital systems all over the outpost. Many of my men have also *radio interference* We need urgent assistance. I'm shutting down all non-essential systems to try and *radio interference* infection *radio interference* locking down non-essential *radio interference*"
That was the last received for the outpost little over 24 hours ago.
TSA outpost 27-9 is an advanced research and recon outpost on poses 7 - a small rocky planet on the far reaches of the Ariadne Arm. Several attempts to restore contact have failed.
The work being carried out on 27-9 was of vital importance to the ongoing battle against the Kharaa. Even if it hasn't been overrun by Kharaa life forms by now it is critical that a link can be made to the outpost.
That's where you the, the TSA's Frontiersmen come in. Your mission will be to gain entry to the outpost; recent maintenance logs show the docking bays are fully operational, so that shouldn't be a problem. Then proceed to secure the outpost, we have no idea how bad the situation is so be on full alert. When you have secured the outpost a TSA maintenance crew will be sent in. Remember all Kharaa presence must me eradicated.

***TSA PRIORITY DISPATCH***
Send: TSA High Command
Receive: All Squad Commanders in vicinity of Outpost 27 - 9
Subject: Search and Rescue / Termination of xenoform presence
Greetings Commanders,
At 0430 yesterday the following transmittion was sent from our research and development base on Poses 7 (Outpost 27 - 9). Shortly after this transmittion was terminated, all communications with the base ceased, and we have been unable to re-establish communications. Message follows:
"This is Alex Vermont of TSA outpost 27-9, to anyone still in *static* losing vital systems all over the outpost. Many of my men have also *indecipherable*. We need urgent assistance. I'm shutting down all non-essential systems to try and *static* infection *static* locking down non-essential *static*"
We have to assume that this transmission was sent in response to hostile action. From what information we can recover from the message, and the proximity of Outpost 27 - 9 to the Infected Zones, the probability is high that the Kharaa xenoforms are responsible.
Outpost 27 - 9 is a classified operation, however because of the situation the security level of squad commanders in the vicinity of the Poses 7 system has been temporarily raised. The following is what information we can tell you about our operations at Outpost 27 - 9:
- Advanced research in the fields of communications, scanning, tracking and observation
- Advanced phase technology research
- Experimental research into advanced Heavy Armour, Jetpacks and ***CLASSIFIED***
- All remaining information is classified lvl 7 or higher.
It is of vital importance that communications with Outpost 27 - 9 be re-established and any threat to station security eradicated. Expect no assistance from Alex Vermont's forces; given the situation, we have to assume the worse case scenario, which is that he and his Frontiersmen have been wiped out.
If possible, try to limit the usage of heavy weaponry around research areas. These sections will be highlighted in red on the tactical map of Outpost 27 - 9 that is attached to this message. However, if the situation warrants the usage of said weapons, you have permission to use them.
Entry to the complex will be in map sector 9a, marked on your tactical map in blue. This area is just adjacent to the docking bays, which recent maintenance reports indicate are functional. If you are successful in eradicating all threats to station security, a TSA maintenance team will be dispatched immediately.
Field reports should be delivered on the Gold channel frequency 9067.
Good luck commanders. Come back alive.
