The Alliance scientists create the screamers, a war machine with A.I. and capable of replicate, and their soldiers wear a tab around the wrist to broadcast a signal to the machines to stay safe. When Comdr. Joe Hendricksson receives a message from a NEB soldier in his bunker, he learns that NEB is proposing a truce and he contacts Earth that authorizes the deal.
