History[edit]
2010-12-09 EBN: Harbingers neutralized![edit]
EBN: At a press conference in Port Atlantis, Colonel Briers stated that the Harbinger threat has been neutralized. The factory built in the wreckage of War Titan Typhon is still in the Hadesheim crater, but the pod launch system is no longer operational.The sabotage operations, conducted by drafted colonists, were “98.9 percent successful” and the system was “effectively rendered inoperational”. Thus, Harbingers cannot be deployed by the robots.Colonel Briers noted that the launch system managed to circumvent the defense turrets at several locations, but that these surgical strikes would no longer be possible. “No one would be safe if even one of the launch silos would remain operational” he stated.Intelligence operations in Hadesheim crater will continue as well as preemptive strikes at the robot factory.Colonel Briers also stated that the community of code breakers had greatly assisted the defense against the Harbingers and brought vital information about the progress of the sabotage missions. He conveyed his gratitude to the many volunteers that collected information, cracked robot codes, infiltrated the factory, sabotaged the pod silos and defended the cities of Calypso, especially during the last days when robots pushed the weakened launch system to strike at Twin Peaks and Fort Ithaca.The colonel refused to answer a direct question whether there was any collaboration between CDF and the infamous RX Units, saying only “no comments”.
2010-12-07[edit]
Strike teams have managed to sabotage and destroy the Harbinger deployment system! The robots’ advance has been halted dead in its track, despite Steelbirds and Harbingers. However, the robot factory in the Hadesheim crater has not been destroyed, and intelligence and strike operations aimed at the crater will continue. Colonists that have not yet signed up as CDF contractors can contact Colonel Briers in the Needle Tower in Port Atlantis.

It is likely that the message was intended to coordinate the attacks, but Colonel Briers thinks that it may have a hidden purpose."

RESETTLEMENT UPDATE
Recent attacks by Steelbirds, the new flying robot model, proved only to be the beginning. We can now reveal that the robots in utmost secrecy have refitted and retooled the wreckage of the War Titan Typhon that crashed into Hadesheim six years ago into a base for their operations.
Satellite surveillance was blanked momentarily by electro-magnetic pulses from Hadesheim, and as they came back online, infrared photography revealed new structures under the cloud cover of the crater. Some of them were active, launching objects in suborbital mid-range trajectories on Eudoria.
Colonel Briers in Port Atlantis has confirmed that CDF and CFA will cooperate to take the fight to the Steelbirds. He also hinted that CDF is developing a strategy to investigate the crater and the mysterious drops over Eudoria, but as they are unfinished, CDF does not want to reveal them at the moment.
NEW FEATURES
Hadesheim crater redesigned: We’ve redesigned the Hadesheim crater for the event. You will experience an entirely new crater, including Camp Phoenix and the outpost north of the crater. Most of the story related missions are centered around the crater.
New missions: We have 17 new missions for this release, among them a seasonal Iron Challenge, a permanent Iron Challenge, a mining challenge and some missions related to the story of the Harbinger event. All missions will not be available at once. At first there will only be the Iron Challenges. A set of story related missions will open on November 11th, and a few more that concludes the event will open on November 23rd. Some missions (but not all) will close on November 30th as the event closes. If a mission is limited to certain dates, it will be stated clearly in the mission’s description.
Colonel Briers in the needle tower in Port Atlantis is the contact for the Steelbird Iron Challenge and the story missions. Todd Hamlish in Camp Phoenix will hand out the mining challenge, and Fritz Feldgast at Cape Corinth will hand out the Eviscerator Iron Challenge.
Shared loot: We have a new feature that allows us to share loot from event mobs. The feature, if activated, splits loot among everyone that inflicted damage on the mob similarly to the rule “Damage: Stack share”. Team loot rules are ignored for these mobs.
We have activated shared loot on Steel Bird Elite spawns for this event.
FIXED ISSUES
Fixed a few terrain issues. Fixed floor numbering of the televator in Port Atlantis Mall Natural creature spawn issues fixed.

After a mere day of investigating the recent Robot movements, the Task force with Colonel Briers at the lead have come across what they think may be a break in the case. Report says that late last night a concerned colonist handed over a new device, which had been extracted from a Steelbird near the Hadesheim crater. |
The Task force is now focused on identifying the structure pictured. |

2010-11-01 EBN: Task force on Robot Sightings[edit]
Calypso Defense Forces have assigned a taskforce under the leadership of Colonel Briers to investigate the recent Robot presence, hopefully providing intel that will lead to knowledge about their next move.
Lately, robots have been on the prowl near Port Atlantis and Billy’s Spaceship Afterworld, but it looks like they are now regrouping outside these newcomer-heavy areas. However new sightings have been made of differing generations of Coordinators, Steelbirds, Defenders and Jamraiders around the Hadesheim Crater. Colonel Briers and the CDF taskforce ask the good colonists of Calypso to stay alert and report any anomalies of robot behavior. |

Personal Log: John Stave Petty
Ser Nr: 28.02.07.003
Rank: Captain
Unit: 1st Bat. Calypso Desert Rangers
Location: Fort Fury CDR HQ
Hello Calypso, this is Stave Petty reporting from Fort Fury, as you may know ive been following the robot war some and i know quite a bit of whats happening here, that being said i have recieved some intelegence from EBN and a source of mine that wishes to stay anon.
As you may or may not know, recently the robots have been exprementing with organic computing in order to evolve and become smarter and invincible, and indeed have carried out a number of tests, i belive those what those tests started are far from over. As we know, new flying robots have began to attack billys spaceship afterworld and a popular party spot down on a island near port atlantis.
As well as this the myserious RX units continue to lurk around, with thier somewhat friendly approach towards us. One has also acctually began reporting on this very site during her investigation into the way humans think.
As we know CDF say they are indeed still enemys and it would be treason to work with them, but there appears to be some kind of cover up going here, as we all know, they were originally manufactured by the exodus space station as soldiers to fight the great war. How they went from that, to enemys we still dont know. Perhaps we will get answers soon.
Well things are about to escalate, my sources tell me something is coming on the 9th of november, what i believe to be the result of the hydra tests. My source that wishes to stay anon has told me he has evidence sugguesting our beloved ex capitol Hadeshiem is going to play a part in all of this.
The source of mine that wishes to stay anon sent me a report, and in thier report they included this rather intresting photograph:
The inteligence they provided sugguests the robots that currently are active inside the crater are excavating the hadeshiem ruins, or something of that manner, which will result in the titan of war that crashed and thats left of hadeshiem to rise from the ashes in some from. How legitamate this inteligence is i am unsire at this time, but im sure we will find out very soon.
If this indeed is the case, perhaps they are trying to secure a robot outpost on calypso, a foothold, theyve always been very intrested in that area.
That being said whatevers happening, whatever is being planned, we cant afford the kind of screw up we had during the hydra tests. Yes they are going to try to outsmart us, yes they will play tricks on us to try and beat us. But we need to remember who we are, what side were on. We created this meanace, some virus caused them to turn evil, and its our responsibility as mankind to stop this menace.
stay tuned for any updates during this hard time,
We shall see what is to come
Stave out
