@X0A        Below us is the planet Xanadu.  The magnetosphere of the    @X07
@X0A planet prevents us from using standard communications procedures.   @X07
@X0A Once you're down, you're on your own - a S&R beacon has been fitted @X07
@X0A into your weapons pod.  Key it ONLY on completion of your mission,  @X07
@X0A and we'll get a retrieval boat down to you.                         @X07

@X0A        We've dropped several divisions on this supposedly uninhabited   @X07
@X0A planet, and have only managed to retrieve a few badly incoherent soldiers@X07
@X0A from the surface.  They were all victims of a low-grade viral infection  @X07
@X0A that causes progressive brain damage.  You'll be inoculated against the  @X07
@X0A virus before you drop, but Medical isn't sure how long the inoculation   @X07
@X0A will last against repeated exposure to the virus.                        @X07

@X0E        Xanadu:                                                   @X07

@X0E        Rotational Period:             @X07 @X0C         25.61 E-Hours    @X07
@X0E        Average daytime temperature:   @X07 @X0C        -70°C             @X07
@X0E        Average nighttime temperature: @X07 @X0C        -160°C            @X07
@X0E        Average wind velocity:         @X07 @X0C         145KPH           @X07

@X0A        That's all we've got.  The screwy magnetosphere of the planet@X07
@X0A prevents us from getting any more detail of the planet.  Your report
@X0A on your return will aid us in this as well.                          @X07

@X0A        You'll be dropping with a full kit weapons and armor pod, as we
@X0A have literally no idea what you'll be facing.

@X0B        Find our lost troops!  If they're dead, we'll want to know why.@X07
@X0B If they are alive, we want them back!                                  @X07

@X0D        Preparing yourself for this challenge, you give your powered    @X07
@X0D armor a final check and bolt it into your weapons pod along with all    @X07
@X0D the other tools of mass mayhem provided to you by the Imperium.         @X07

@X0D        Changing into a Pod Survival Suit, you strap yourself into your @X07
@X0D personnel pod.  You feel a @X0CTHUMP!@X0D as the pods are fired from the ship,
@X0D and watch your descent to the planet in your pod tracking screen...     @X07

             @X8EAnd so the adventure begins....@X0F
