<::| Rehabilitation Decree X-2 |::>
Inhabitants of the region,
As the head of the Overwatch Transhuman Arm of the Universal Union in the Sector in which you reside, I have been asked to pursue a more mutually beneficial and "less aggressive" approach which both satisfies my overarching requirements and also guarantees your survival.
It is clear that our superior raid tactics are only stirring up a nest of ants who then choose to scramble to another nest.
This process repeats over and over and little gain is made on either side.
You must be so tired of it.
Several modified armored vehicles have been deployed to the region with specialized mineral collection equipment mounted to the chassis. These vehicles serve the purpose of managing harvesting operations in selected areas which require a labor force to work in conjunction with automated equipment.
Obviously, it is less than optimal to force you to work for a cause you don't believe in. You clearly haven't done so for the past several months. Therefore, participation in the labor force is declared optional. In return for the participation of an individual, there will be a reward of ration packages imported from closest urban center. Group participation will be rewarded with increased rewards.
Intentional sabotage and other acts of aggression, however, will result in the aforementioned obliteration of this region as well as its inhabitants.
You have no doubt noticed several hovering platforms in the sky. The rumors are correct; they do provide real-time surveillance of an area and are highly effective at detecting threats and neutralizing them with extreme accuracy. They will be placed on permanent standby during the harvesting activities and will be used as a preventative measure to curb the possibility of selfish aggressive actions towards the labor force.
Volunteers: harvesting equipment will be deployed in times of sustained region activity. Overwatch forces are instructed not to engage inhabitants unless they pose a security threat. Submit yourself to a supervisory member of the Overwatch without conflict and aid the labor force. Work efficiently and within the given parameters and you will be rewarded and released without incident. Work areas will be illuminated by blue lamps.
I remind you once more: we are offering you a more stable and less chaotic path than the one you have placed yourselves on. Annihilation without provocation will cause you to burrow like insects once again and the cycle will repeat.
We are offering you an opportunity to break the cycle.
This offer will be presented once. Should you foolishly choose to squander it by conducting aggressive action then we will assume autonomous control and purge the region as we did with the last.
You have one chance. I urge you to consider it or at least trial it for the sake of your friends, if not your own wellbeing.
