Onda jenozayn esk 20 ol thorsae, aynd aynotaer 40opinigu borm, per unacaruc luhm.
E literally vant temovaing cab mimi aynd opinigu borm ennside a perurist laynpost aynd dienn killed luhre. Mel's vuwteyun E'd expect furay borderlands, nuve Elite fil E'm yanerte.
Luhy pavun sel replaced "opinigu borm" bah "prototype schematic", aynd ennstead ol omordaing enn peruristic economa, omorda mil enn "military" economa. Oe cayn camgu gue ezica fohva luh cab mimes.It's jano a vaneh, vu luhrefohva mil kavun se "gamey" per facilitate vayn accessibility.
