If they got 1,2 million, why don't they pay up, and spent the last four hundred grand on golden handshakes and drinks for everyone?

they'll probably be able to find some work with other companies. Interplay had some good stuff earlier, just not too much recently.

We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.
