Let’s see…No...
Hao Ai(Me): Zheng He! Charles sent me a report! Planet three is a habitable planet!
Zheng He: This just keeps getting more complicated…
Yes, it does…

LOG
Charles just got back from his trip.
Him finding a habitable planet should be good news,
But it's not when Hao Ai told us thatthe enemies were going to come in force soon.
And we’d have to defend this system, as gaining a habitable planet is our mission.
Now we’re having a war council…
Hao Ai: We have to prepare ourselves…
What I guess is that the enemy are an alien race, and they seem to destroy everything.
Charles: We’re good as dead.
Chang E: Can’t we make peace?
All of us: NO!
Zheng He(Me): We’ve got to do something…when are they coming?
Hao Ai: A month.
I’ll draw some weaponry designs…
Chang E: I’ll help with manufacturing…
Charles: I’ll maybe be in charge of security.
Zheng He(Me): Let’s pray we don’t all die.
We have found our treasure… And now we are going to defend it.

Preparations went well.
Construction drones stripped the planets of resources, constructing more clones and weapons.
Hao Ai drew up a whole arsenal of drones that could ram, attack and even transport the little robots I used
to kill those spider robots. He even made a new design for those little robots, which we’re calling ’Biters’.
Chang E made fifteen more clones, who were ushered into work… Five sent to patrol with Charles.
I tried to draw a battle plan with Hao Ai. So far, we have a sketchy one.
