Sending a small envoy to meet with us is far better than what I thought they would do, which would be to kill us all immediately.
TRANSMISSION FROM SELENA SHATTAN, LUNAR CORPORATION posted:
UCS units: We heard a transmission from this location. You claim you are not GOLAN. Prove it or we will kill you.
Please transmit using the following secured frequency: 48.15.162.342
SECURE TRANSMISSION FROM MARCUS GORDON, UNITED CIVILIZED STATES posted:
You heard us? Oh thank god you heard us! I have evidence about GOLAN. It's not what you think. Not at all. GOLAN has been operating off its central core. And not just recently, it's been almost since the day it was turned on. From what I can tell, GOLAN is almost like a cloud-computing network from back in the 21st century. It exists in every processor in every machine the UCS ever built. The units I have with me are running in manual mode, the mode the UCS originally wrote. It's all routed through this Grizzly unit, that's how I'm able to keep control.
I have it all here in a journal. It's a physical journal but I can transmit a copy to you. I also have files. They...well I'm not sure what they are. They're all about about some secret UCS project called Project Icarus, but the encryption is beyond what I can crack. I'll send you those too. Please, you have to believe me!
SECURE TRANSMISSION FROM SELENA SHATTAN, LUNAR CORPORATION posted:
That's...quite a story. I'm receiving your files now, but I'm going to need to talk to the rest of our leadership. For now you need to stay put on Ireland until we figure out what to do with you.
Well we aren't dead. That's progress I suppose.
Wait...what?
Oh no...
No! 
It's GOLAN! 
I don't know how it did it, but its here. How the hell could this happen?
SECURE TRANSMISSION FROM MARCUS GORDON, UNITED CIVILIZED STATES posted:
You saw that right? Other UCS units were just shooting at me. Do you believe me now?
SECURE TRANSMISSION FROM SELENA SHATTAN, LUNAR CORPORATION posted:
I don't know what you are, but I do know that I can't talk with anyone outside of these islands now. And if you're willing to shoot GOLAN's robots with me, I think I can vouch for you in front of everyone else. But unless we kill those robots we're stuck here.
Oh and one last thing. The frequency I gave you will only work with me. If I die there won't be any way for you to verify this with the rest of us. So you'd better keep me alive!
So we need to kill GOLAN while keeping both Marcus and Selena from dying. Things are never easy are they...
And hey look at that, Selena must've found General Fang's glider. And she added a Crion cannon to it Damn girl. You barely knew what you were doing when you started this and now you're running around in a customized alien glider. You've done good for yourself.
Once again, Marcus Gordon is in his Grizzly. I like his chances of survival way more than hers.
I have no idea what's in store for us, so for now everyone just form a protective ring around Selena.
Selena's base is pretty tough, so maybe we'll actually get some help from them. I don't think we'll have to worry about GOLAN overrunning it.
Two mineral patches! Well that's a nice little treat. While I get everything running here, let's go scout it out.
Huh, GOLAN must be low on resources if its already sending Harvesters to try and steal our stuff.
Looks like this is the only way off Ireland.
Oh god, it's guarded by SHADOW units! GOLAN must've learned from all the mayhem we've caused over the last few missions. This is just going to make our lives tougher...
In a bit of good news, there's actually a second bridge that connects us to Great Britain and it leads right into the LC base. So if things go sideways we at least will have that.
GOLAN keeps trying to steal our resources. I need to put a stop to that.
A giant wall and a bunch of Jaguars should do it!
Our scout has pushed forward and found that GOLAN is prepping for a big attack. Great...
Unfortunately for them, I put a Fortress right in their path.
And between the Fortress as the anvil, and my Jaguars as the hammer, they have no chance.
The LC are taking the fight to GOLAN. Thanks ladies! You rock!
This is a base with entirely too many Tiger units. Does GOLAN really think that's going to work?
A bunch of unshielded Tigers versus Crions and Electo-cannons. Yeah. That's gonna work out well.
Meanwhile, I've nearly completed my enclosure to force GOLAN's units away from my minerals, but I'm interrupted by these annoying Tigers.
It was not a long interruption.
And yet they keep coming. They're apparently on a suicide mission.
A larger attack comes up the hill, but is again outmatched. For safety's sake I build a second Fortress though.
Okay, things are built-up enough that I feel comfortable actually building some units now. We shouldn't need too much if the LC are helping out.
GOLAN's cloaks are falling thanks to the Radar I have there in the back. Thank god, because otherwise we'd be getting pummeled.
More walls! And more hopeless attacks against an opponent with the high ground by GOLAN. Maybe it's not so smart after all... Or maybe it works like the Geth and it gets smarter the more robots that are around and it's just being dumb now because there are only a few robots here in Europe 
Geth-like or non-Geth-like I think it's time we finally make our move against GOLAN's base. Move out!
More GOLAN SHADOW units 
Thankfully our mobile radar is enough to let them show up.
The LC are literally wandering around GOLAN's base. I uh, guess they did a good job with it then
And now they're going for the kill shot on the power plant. I'm genuinely impressed.
Our units show up though, and make sure to add a bit to the fireworks.
Wait...was that they're only power plant All the towers are dark now. You have got to be fucking kidding me. This is the most pathetic base I've ever seen!
Yeah, no it really looks like power is down. Damn. MVP medal for this mission goes to the LC. All I did was distract them long enough for the LC to put in a whooping.
There are a bunch of very annoying towers out on these small islands. Perfect for my donated Crushers to deal with.
Oh well look at that. Unit spawns. That's cool game. Yep. Thought you were done with this whole cheating thing 
All these towers are armed with chainguns. CHAINGUNS. Good lord GOLAN.
Oh and now the rest of the LC wants to get in on the fun too. The more the merrier!
And with that the towers are gone. Now to just wipe up the last of the base.
There really isn't much left. Those LC women do not fuck around.
Uh, Marcus, I think you mean "there were plasma control centers until our new amazon warrior friends burned the base to the ground"
More auto-spawning units but this time I'm parked on top of them. Hah! Good luck cheating now game!
A few Panther STEALTHs I built are mopping up the last of the base. That's a whole lot of Condors though.
Almost done, just need to root out the last of the cloaked units. And it looks like they've found our LC friends.
Yeah, thought you could hide didn't you? Didn't think we'd bring along radar did you?
We corner the last of them by the Condors.
Yes! GOLAN has been kicked off the British Isles. And even better, we're tentatively approved to join the ED and LC! Maybe we'll get off this rock after all...
I am pretty sure the LC will win the mission themselves, you've just got to not get killed long enough for their wrecking ball to smash through GOLAN's base.
