[center][i]This is Central Officer Bradford, hailing all surviving XCOM operatives on this channel. 

Protocol Ember is now in effect. All surviving XCOM units and outposts are to maintain radio silence with one another and are now given permission to operate independently from HQ. 

While we have lost the battle, the war has not been lost. 

Vigilo Confido.
