“Greetings humans! It has come to my attention that you exist. In recognition of your existence I would like to inform you that your star system has been conquered. Specifically, your planet was granted to the Enquest Sector Power and Waste Management Corporation for use as a disposal site for a dangerous substance we have decided to translate into your english language as ‘Mana.’ Over the next twentyfour hours of your local time system you will be given the option of becoming class one citizens of The Authority. This will give you access to the Transdimensional Power and Waste Mutation Nullification and Extradimensional Storage and Transit System or MENU for short.”
“In light of these recent changes your planet has been reclassified by The Authority from a class F, or frontier world, to a class D, or dump world. Thankfully in recognition of the Homeland Act of system year 12,342,964,526,541 by the Earth Equivalent System Time or EQST or the year 5,562,100 BCE by your current calendar system, you are allowed to remain in your homes. This is not recommended. Over the course of the next three years of your current calendar system your planet will be transformed from a safety rating 50-53 to a projected SR of 5,623,111-5,700,003 planet. As the basic combat level of your species is only 10 it is recommended that you find passage out of the system before these three years are up.”
