**********SIM BRIEF***********
LAST SIM, WE WERE ORDERED TO ESCORT THE RESEARCH TEAM TO THE SPACE STATION, ON ACCOUNT OF ATTACKS AND THREATS BY THE BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUTANTS. WE MADE IT UP TO THE STATION FAIRLY UNEVENTFULLY, WHEN WE DISCOVERED THAT WE HAD JUST ESCORTED THE BROTHERHOOD, DISGUISED AS THE RESEARCH TEAM, UP TO A MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR GOVERNMENT INSTALLATION ON THE SPACE STATION. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE SCREWED UP.
