If you're hearing this, then you've just survived the Faction War and in the aftermath of it all, you've just stumbled across this tape recorder and that
you've just witnessed a new group of units who flies a Red-Act flag on their backs, but for those who're quite perspective, you'd notice the insignias
on their shoulder pads. You're probably facing them in a revolutionary war against them and that they're one of four others who once flew under the
banners of the old Factions. You may still hear an ongoing battlefield in this recording, but for you; there isn't one in Old San Francisco now.

For those who are unaware or have yet to face these Shadow Organizations, the ones flying with the colors of Red-Act were created to
do one thing and one thing only. They're the Ethics Committee and their main job was; in fact, what their title suggest. Though as time goes by, new
members are elected, and where new members come in, some replace the ones who've retired or have left for other reasons and soon came the change
of opinions and operations, including their roles for something more ethical in their terms alone.

Oh if you've probably never recognized my voice, then there's no need for you to dig in, simply ask one of your collegues and they'll let you know who I
am. Though for now, you can just call me Mr. Shrink and I'll tell you this, I'm not "that" kind of shrink.

Moving on.

You may or may not wonder as to why I've got this recording laid out for you guys to take, actually it's for anyone to take and only a few would listen, so
here' something to take notes on. Unless you'd prefer to fly blind with a handkerchief wrapped tightly around your eyes, then you'd need a lot of
practice and way more towels to cry yourself to sleep if you're gonna do that. But for those who'd rather know how to proceed with caution and plan a few
steps ahead of one enemy, then I won't force you to reconsider by backing away from ever involving yourselves with The Council.

Well they call themselves the Council nowadays I suppose and they've went and change a few of things in their job description as a "benefit" for mankind
and all other lifeforms. It's true in my perspective; even though by all rights, it's inhumane for them to even exist now that things have changed way too
drastically for any counter within the Factions themselves. We dabbled with power once and gave some control to those under our wing; look where you
are now. You're surviving against tyrants who'd go as far as to execute anyone who disobeys their rule. Even if it's a race who's far to peaceful to
even raise their fists against them or that they simply cannot because it's in their nature.

I can't stay here for too long though, but perhaps one day, you'll find a tape that can continue where "we" left off.

For now, make sure to keep whatever contents are inside this beacon when it activates, there's a lot of useful supplies I left here just incase you need a
little help getting out of a tight spot. Believe me, the battle here that the Monarchs are giving to OakWells; let's just say it'd rather be far away from
the lava pits and scatter beams. You'll hear from me again some day, or you might stumble across another recording on a different subject. So keep those
ears up and try to stay alive.

This is Mr. Shrink, signing off. *click*
