[X] Send an envoy.
You send an envoy over to contact the machine...tribe? Group? Coalition? Settlement? Settlement.
You manage to hit things off well enough. The machines follow the oldest of their group, a masculine voiced machine known as Solis. Your conversations with him reveal that the machines he leads are tired of fighting the androids and just want peace. For now, though, they are content to stay around their power station, gathering energy from the generators, and generally just trying to eke out a living.
For now, there is little you can do with them, but in time, you may be able to advance toward a common goal. At the very least, they won't attack you, and you have no reason to fihgt them.
Faction Discovered: Solis' village. Current Feelings toward Legate Irons: Neutral, leaning toward friendly.

News From Home:
Antlion Season Begins: The breeding season for antlions has begun. Please seek shelter until the nuptial flights are completed.
Local News:
New Arrivals set up on Earth: The new arrivals on Mars, now known as Legio Explorator VIICDLXI of the Federation (whoever that is) have decided to make themselves known and met with YorHa. They have no interest in the ongoing war and simply wish to observe Earth. Command has decided to allow them to set up in Australia. Hopefully this doesn't doom us all.
Machine Villages allowing androids to Visit: The neutral machine villages have begun allowing resistance androids to visit. A ploy to get us to lower our guard, or an effort to end the war with an olive branch? We shall see.

To recap: you've met friendly (or at least neutral) machines, made nice with the androids, and found an alien starship.
At least things haven't gone crazy yet. Now to find something to do.

Note: You may thank @TrueGuardian32 for giving me the idea to write this segment and all future Mission Reports:
Command Intelligence A-7461-C131 - Mission Report
Arrived in new universe. Point of insertion appears to be an alternate version of Mars, with further research indicating this is an alternative version of the Sol System. Primary powers in this universe are YorHa, a collection of androids serving mankind (who have apparently sought shelter in a bunker on Luna) and are opposed by the Machine Lifeforms, which are synthetic entities that serve an alien race that is interested in colonizing Earth. Conflict appears to have lasted at least centuries, possibly milennia.
Initial contact with YorHa was less than optimal - possibly too mechanical in behavior (pun acknowledged)? May need further interaction training after completion of mission. Relations opened with YorHa and rogue machine enclaves. Further work required to create alliances. Will post updates as needed.
For the glory and advancement of the Federation and the Supreme One!

Reply From: Intelligence 002, Designation Fide:.....You ended up in a universe where YorHa and the Machine Lifeforms are fighting? I thought we already went there?
....Right. Keep us posted. And just....be careful.

YorHa News:
A Quiet Month: Be it preparations for a new offensive or a desire to rest, YorHa and the Resistance have decided to focus on digging in and fortifying existing territories. The machines, meanwhile, seem to be doing the same. Experts on both sides are predicting the next offensive to be especially bloody for both parties.
