Failsafe — Lost Colonies

"Welcome, Captain," Failsafe says, cheerful. "I am pleased to see you again. I have been so lonely!" Her tone darkens. "But I'm kinda used to it by now."

She brightens again. "Although talking about my crew brings up many painful memories, I would love to help you find ways to honor them. Perhaps you can help drive back the hostile alien forces that wish to expel us from this planetoid!" The tone of her voice drops again, dull and dry. "What better way to honor the dead than by shooting stuff, right?"
