Homeworld/Awesome: Difference between revisions

 

* Saving all the cryotrays in the third mission. These are the last remnants of your entire civilization. One hundred thousand souls are crammed into each tray. You can hear the undertones of heartbreak turning to anger in the bridge officers voice as he issues the mission orders.
