Intel 20, Memo from Malikov

SRPA Intelligence Memorandum ATTN: Major Richard Blake

Major Blake,

''I believe I know the reason for the Chimeran fleet's recent change in course toward the Yucatan peninsula. It is my theory that the towers, the fleet and the Chicxulub crater are all related to Daedalus' plan. As you know, I have theorized that there was another race at war with the Chimera millions of years ago. It is my belief that this crater is the last visible remnant of an event that ended that ancient war. Whatever was destroyed in that crater was the crux of the Chimeran power on this planet - the focal point of a planet wide network of towers.''

''The Chimeran fleet has converged on that crater for a reason, and I believe they are nearing the completion of a goal more devastating than what we have imagined possible. But with their ships gathered so close together they are also more vulnerable than they realize. Before SRPA Four was destroyed they had completed a prototype fission bomb using materials recovered by the Specter Team. If you can retrieve that bomb and detonate it within 500 feet of the core reactor on Daedalus' ship, the chain reaction may be enough to eliminate the entire fleet.''

''I know we have had our differences in the past, Major, but I implore you to trust me on this. I believe it is our one and only chance at victory.''

Sincerely, ''Dr. Fyodor Malikov ''
