Members of STEP-UP, THE TYPONIONS RETREATED!

The Typonions have given up their current invasion plans, however, will they retreat only to gather new momentum and strike again?
SOP-TAS would like to thank you for your help defeating these invaders and we hope we can count on you next time these onions strike.

Members of STEP-UP: It has begun!

Members of STEP-UP: SOP-TAS1 has been compromised. Given the most recent message ("Have a nice Leap Day :( ") we have to assume an alien intelligence responsible for the energy fluctuations detected in quadrant 10-536-B is preparing for contact. Core communication circuits of SOP-TAS1 still emit sporadic transmissions. Our data analysts were able to dissect the following fragments: “...cepacepacepacepa…” (Peace?), “ ...init.forc#…” , “…tear$on…”. We will continue monitoring quadrant 10-536-B. Remain alert.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen and members of STEP-UP. We regret to inform you that the communications link with our reconnaissance beacon SOP-TAS1 has ceased. N-band analysis of the last transmission indicate SOP-TAS1 is still active, however the decrypted transmission also contained the following message:"We are not ARG, nor BORG, nor a plain herring. We are indispensably :( ."

From the Meridian Room in the Park Plaza in New York City, we now bring you the music of Ramón Raquello and his orchestra. With a touch of the Spanish. Ramón Raquello leads off with "La Cumparsita."

SOP-TAS1, we are loosing your signal. Do you copy?

SOP-TAS1, can you copy?

SOP-TAS1, a temporary intrusion of our communication channels has been resolved. Can you copy?

Affirmative, SOP-TAS1.

SOP-TAS, entering system 10-536-B. The two outer planets are gas giants - as expected. The third planet though seems oddly shaped, like a giant white lump. Altering trajectory for fly-by.

All clear, SOP-TAS1, please proceed to target quadrant.

Roger, SOP-TAS1. We are registering a surge in potentially vulnerable string additions. Provisionary setup procedures for STEP-UP completed, however, stage 11 has had to be delayed by 96 hours. Hold position and standby.

SOP-TAS1, initiating boost sequence to approach system 10-536-B.

DTN-mode transmission link: all clear.

PRP-protocol issued.

Deployment of sensory array complete.

Roll maneuver complete, SOP-TAS1, you're looking good.

Stage 9 has ignited, and we have LIFT
OFF!!
