CDRE TAGON: The buuthandi had been stable for millennia prior to the U.N.S. attack, so the inhabitants didn't have emergency procedures for a disaster of that scale.
During the chaos one cluster of pods resisted evacuation, opening fire on their rescuers.
They were left to their fate, and nobody worried about them until an inventory revealed that these pods hosted some important archives.
TAGON: So we shoot our way in, grab the archive, and burn the pod to ashes on our way out?
CDRE TAGON: Are we brainstorming? Okay. I'm open to more suggestions for this good will mission.
