=== Interlude: Beacon in the Sky === You awaken in your chambers bathed in a strange greenish light, coming through the round reinforced window that looks over the landscape outside. A strange deep hum fills the room, and you recognize deep echoes of the aliens in it...echoes of their voices, of their weapons. You quickly tap into a touchscreen built into the back of your headboard, seeking through video feeds positioned around Planet. [There.] From the alien base $ALIENBASENAME5, a green column of light lances into the sky. You quickly bounce the image to the large viewpanel along one wall, expanding it. You get out of your bed. With the image in your wall-sized viewpanel, it seems as if you are staring out across the landscape of Planet itself, at the strange curved shapes of the alien bases. The green light illuminates the rolling terrain near the alien base eerily, and you can feel the hum of the resonance in your body and through the cold floor. $SHIMODA9's voice suddenly fills the room, using an emergency band. "We're analyzing it, $TITLE0 $NAME1. As fast as we can." "Look at it." You touch the cool glass of the viewpanel, tracing the brilliant light. "What is it?" "A powerful signal, but it is going nowhere that we can tell. It may have some unknown resonance fields associated with it, but we can't..." Abruptly, the beam cuts off, making the sky seem suddenly empty. "That was just a test," you say into the silence.
