Briefing
Commander Elvers:
 * Welcome to Foreas, recruit! It's home to the AFS: the biggest, baddest fighting force planet Earth left behind. And that's enough for the pleasantries!


 * My job is to get you geared up, toughed up, and ready to help us take back our base - and for right now, your job is to listen and do what I tell you. Got it?


 * I'll update your mission log with a changing list of objectives. Your first objective will be to open your log using the [L] key! Once you've mastered that, if you have questions about how to complete any further objectives, open your log and read 'em in detail. NOTE: Once you open your log, you'll be in UI mode. This will turn off mouse-look! Use ESC to close any open windows if you want to go back to standard mouse-look mode.


 * Once you've completed your task list, come back to me and we'll talk about your next mission. Move out, soldier!

Report back to Commander Elvers
Commander Elvers:
 * Good going, recruit! You passed those tasks with flying colors!

Debriefing
Commander Elvers:
 * You've mastered the basics - all that's left now is a little spit and shine, eh?
