MAJOR ORDER: The Helldivers stood their ground valiantly against the spread of insectile Fascism, and as a result, the construction of the Penrose Energy Siphon has been enabled. Massive E-710-powered rockets are now being assembled for launch into the ergosphere of the Meridian Singularity to halt its momentum. Alas, focus must now be split, as Automaton forces have landed on multiple planets in what appears to be a coordinated, large-scale, craven assault. The forces are led by a series of new Automaton units wielding incendiary weapons. This unit has been termed the Incineration Corps. However, the Penrose Energy Siphon, which would significantly slow the Singularity's advance, is nearly ready for activation. Every lost day could make the difference between the preservation or destruction of another planet. High Command delegates to the Helldivers this choice: hold off the Automaton assault, or effect the immediate activation of the Penrose Energy Siphon.
