Nathan was distracted from his thoughts by the image of Colonel Ford's face which came up on several screens around the weapon factory.
"Survivors of Earth, another alien warship has been spotted. Its current location is within the orbit of the now destroyed Earth. The surveillance team believes the ship is headed towards MoonEx and if that's the case, it will arrive here is less than forty eight hours. We cannot let that happen. I need all teams on standby. We will launch our first defense missile in 02:00 hours.
For those of you in the missile design team, you are aware that all our missiles are fitted with cameras. This is a war that is being fought by all of us and we all deserve to watch it unfold. Live footage from the launched missile will be streamed back to us and for those of you who are interested, you can ask your virtual assistants for the channel of the feed.
While it is just one ship that is headed towards us this time, we have no idea how many ships will head towards us the next time they attack. While we are still searching for their base, I urge you to intensify your efforts at getting our weapons ready. Once we locate their base, we will take the war to them and we will wipe them out!
Thank you for your efforts, survivors."
People immediately intensified their efforts once the announcement ended. While Nathan worked with increased speed, one thing was clear in his mind.
"I'm going to watch the live footage from the launched missile. If there's an alien warship out there, I want to see it get blasted to pieces."
