To: Secretary of Defense Conrad Hauser] From: General Lawrence Flagg Date: Dec 20, 2012 Subject: Successful GODS strike

Tuesday evening we had another successful use of the Global Orbital Defense Satellite system. After months of weakness analysis, power build-up, and careful orbital maneuvering, we launched a sudden strike against the alien ship we’d detected in low Earth orbit see attached data and images. The first strike penetrated the ship’s armor, and the immediate second strike critically damaged its engines.

The ship did crash into an active stratovolcano in Oregon, which we hadn't foreseen, but troops have already been dispatched to secure the site and bring any recoverable technology back to Burpleson Air Force Base. A cover story is in place and is already being transmitted by our media arm, PBS.

The next obvious step is to use the GODS against Springfield, which captured operatives have identified as a Cobra haven. The satellites are solar charging now and will be ready when you give the order.
