"The armies of the various civilizations are gathering. The war is about to begin."
"Survivors, please find a relatively safe place to hide and wait patiently."
"Now that a full-fledged Plague Apocalypse has been discovered, all survivors are forbidden from teleporting away from the Gloomy Star Region without authorization."
