=== Interlude: Burning Sky === It has been a rough $NUM1 years on Planet, eking out an existence on the strange surface of this alien world. $BASENAME2 had established itself as your command center, and you are gradually reaching out to the other faction leaders, trying to restore balance to the remnants of a tattered humanity. On this day, as you take a routine inspection tour of your base defenses, your rebreather begins to rattle in your mouth. Clouds suddenly boil up from the horizon as two bright lights flash in the sky high above you and then expand out in waves of purple fire. "$TITLE0!" your lieutenant chokes out, grabbing your shoulder. You forgive the impropriety. She seems ready to push you to the ground, but you tense against her, trying to see through the chaos tearing the sky apart. Besides, there is nowhere to hide. The first wave of purple fire washes across the sky and buffets you with a strange, cold wind, then the second one chills you deep to the bones. You close your eyes, feeling as if your body has been shaken to its core. Finally a calm descends. Your lieutenant is staring at her hands, which still tremble. You quickly pull out a pair of binocs and look through them, searching the sky. "What are you looking for?" she asks. "That," you finally say, and start to hand the binocs to her. But as you look she is already staring at the sky, where two streaks of light approach the new world. The streaks dance and twist around each other as they grow larger in the sky. "New arrivals," you say. "And it doesn't appear that they like each other."
