April 28, 2000 "Locusts! That's what those infernal Kel-Morian Combine mining teams are! You think you have a good claim all to yourself, but then the Combine comes to ravage everything in sight right from under your nose. They'll leave me with nothing after they're done. Well I'm not going to take it anymore, and I've got just the thing for them! I'll make this a hot spot they'll never forget! I'll show them!" -Final Recorded Words of Usagi Hidalgo before the surface detonation of a 20 megaton nuclear device on the planet of Uilila IV

April 21, 2000 "In ancient times dueling was an accepted and honorable means of resolving a dispute between individuals with opposing views. Two men would stand back to back on the field of combat -- their chosen weapons raised in a proud salute -- prepared to fight to the death. Things are a WHOLE lot different now. Lately, "Duels" are resolved with auto-aiming Gauss weaponry, powered combat suits, and even Goliath Combat Walkers! No one has respect for the old traditions anymore..." -Admiral David Jones

April 14, 2000 Data Entry 1102AM0441: A funny thing happened today. I watched a Protoss Templar doing what he calls "exercises." I was immediately taken back to the birthday party my mother gave me when I turned six years old. All my friends were there and there was more ice cream and cake than I could ever have thought possible. The highlight of the day, though, was the magician my mother hired as entertainment. He pulled a rabbit out of his black top hat and materialized coins out from behind the ears of my friends and, for a brief moment, I belived that magic was real. As an adult, I discovered the magic tricks that had transfixed me as a youth were just bits of misdirection and sleight of hand. I even learned a few of them to show my younger brothers and sisters. They loved those tricks, and I just wish they could see the Protoss. The Templar can do things with their minds that can only be described as real magic... -Personal entry of Engineer's Mate Aaren Ruth, Renegade Battlecruiser Hyperion

April 7, 2000 "The barren, frozen wastelands of Braxis are some of the most unforgiving places in the sector. A thick layer of permafrost allows little in the way of plant life to thrive and brutal winter storms constantly rage across the plains. Even in such harsh conditions, however, the Ursadon thrives. This majestic beast is truly the lord of the tundra, having no natural enemies. Often found near ice floes, Ursadons are carnivorous creatures that hunt in the icy water for food. Instances of attacks on humans are thankfully rare, but the few recorded instances of an enraged Ursadon attack have always ended in tragedy. The Koprulu Wilderness Society recommends keeping a safe distance from these noble creatures while on Braxis, both for your own safety and that of the Ursadon."
