about

Once its guardian was gone, blasting a hole into the mothership and gaining forcible entry was no trouble at all. Inside, the mothership was empty. No alien race present, no army waiting for occupation, no anything. The frequencies and transmissions I was intercepting inside, along with the confusing layout of tunnels all connected to a massive core all lead me to a stunning conclusion: the mothership was acting like a giant antenna.

Whoever sent this force was using the mothership to broadcast commands that controlled everything, from the drones to the enemy megalous. My idea was risky, but I decided that while I was in the core, I could play the Pixeltank and broadcast my own signal. This, in theory, would throw off the communication so much that the enemy would be devastated. I was right.

As I played, enemy drones went haywire, crashing into the ground and exploding in balls of fire all over the planet. I feared this would have devastating consequences on civilians, but I was later assured by the President that it was necessary and saved more lives than anything else. It doesn’t take away the guilt, but the rationalization keeps me going.
