[Brains] Cat B - Reestablishing Contact

[The Stad]

Unidentified radiation in orbit and high-intensity atmospheric electrical storms scrambled communications between the Federation Police Cruiser overhead and the survivors of Recon Squad B almost as soon as the team had landed.  The survivors regrouped and realized immediately that contact needed to be reestablished.  Enrico suggested heading for the facility that was the source of the original distress signal, but without elaborating, Sarge shot that idea down.  He had landed the closest to the facility of the five survivors, and had encountered the remnants of the planet's terraforming crew.

"We're not dealing with that," was the only thing he said about his findings.

Luckily, by hiking in the exact opposite direction for several hours, they stumbled across what appeared to be a large antenna.  It was overgrown, but it's aircraft light was still blinking so it was apparently still powered.

"Johnston, make that thing talk for us.  I want off of this planet ASAP," the sergeant ordered.  "The rest of you, get off the ground and rest.  I've got the first watch."
