3 Skimmers go haywire and start killing people. The entire facility is wiped out! Someone in the bubble will pay for this, they must be held accountable. If only we could get this information back to the authorities?

Base Under Attack
The settlement is patrolled by three skimmers, an audible alert indicates that the settlement is under attack. Around the settlement there are 4 up-link data points. It transpires that someone has uploaded shoot to kill orders into the skimmers. There are Engineer Materials scattered around the base, and next to the entrance of the settlement is a Data Point which can be scanned for an Intel Package.

Jackson, Jackson, Where the hell are you?
Get off your arse, the security system is on the fritz again.
I’m getting multiple malfunctions on my screen. Units 3 and 7 are reporting an order to go into reset mode and the others are refusing to obey the order to return to the hangar.
If we can’t get this to work, they’re going to shut us down.

Lookout Military Test Facility: Situation Report.
General, Unfortunately it looks like we’re going to have to postpone the new skimmer software test
We’ve been experiencing some technical difficulties and believe that, until the matter is rectified, bringing more personnel on site would be a high risk.
We have narrowed it down to the skimmer control programme and we’re attempting to decode the problem.
We will keep you informed.

Communication Log: Commander Henry Connors
Sir, I believe we’ve isolated the issue in the skimmer code.
It looks like some anomalous code has been added to the skimmers that is not part of the programme. it’s very complex and seems to be designed to override the skimmers ability to follow operator orders and run independently.
Any Idea how it got in there?
No idea. But I can tell you it was before we shipped out. Whoever did this really knew what they were doing. I think I can remove the code and have the skimmers up and running.
Just see what you can do. And be careful what you mess with in there. These things are sensitive pieces of equipment.
CAREFUL WHAT YOU MESS WITH 4/4
Emergency. I repeat, emergency.
Security systems are off line. The skimmers have gone haywire. Some kind of backup subroutine triggered by adjustments to their control code. They’re operating independently. All attempts to bring them under operator control have failed. They are killing everyone on sight.
Please send help… We can’t hold out much longer.
