Asteroid Blues

Report to the Haqqislam High Command by Department of Military-Public Relations Spokesman Abdel Ibn Abu Almani.

Salem Aleikum, honorable members of the HHC.

Bismiallah irrahman irrahim, i have to start my report with the mention that this incident was an unfortunate case. Our enemy-reconnaisance has reported us several days ago about an covert operation by, what we thought were irregular units of the Ikari Company, to the disatvantage of the State Empire and theire efforts in the YiJuan Open Pit Side.
In fact the countermeasures by the Imperial Secret Service were so desperate, that it was clear to us, that these stolen informations must be top secret and vital important to the State Empire. I do not have to mention that this was reason enough for us to get these informations, at least due to the fact that we have faced several ISS operations during the last time in our own terretories.

The troops of the Ikari performed a fighting withdrawl against the ISS units and returned, under our watchfull eyes, back to the Main Strip to submerge into the confusing daily business of this merc-infested area. We´ve hired one of Wild Bills famous gunfighters to navigate us through this mess of a town and tp help us to track them.

If you would like to have an overview of our combat groups, i have attached it to this report.

We attacked right befor they tryed to disband into several different directions and caught them off guard. It was this moment that we realized that we did not face irregulars or Ikari members, but regular Japanese Secessionist Army forces. For as far as we know, these were the enemy troops that are involved.

I know that this incident could lead to official diplomatic difficulties due to that fact that (officialy) we are in close relationship to the Japanese goverment because of our actions in supporting their indipendence in the uprising.
Inofficialy we have to face the fact, that Japan is not the close friend that they try to represent themselves in public. Our intelligence services have collected enough data about japanese efforts that are in diametrically direction to our goals and so the commander of the joint haqqislam armed forces decides not to cancel the attack. We have also the suspicion that the JSA has worked together with other forces, because the stolen tech coffins were repackaged and brought into one off the more quiet zones of the Main Strip ready to be picked up, by whoever was involved in this dirty story.

As soon as the JSA forces noticed us, they immediatly stopped theire retread and try to face us.

But as i allready told you, we took them by suprise. Our operation was planned carefully and the first thing they saw were huge smokescreens hiding our infiltrated specialist who are allready in action to recover two of the tech coffins and immediatly withdrawl behind our lines.

The JSA forces are indeed so completely overwhelmed that theire counterstrike was poorly planned and desastrous. One of there motorized troopes was shot by our Tuareg Sniper Nádin Zaya, the moment that he has left his cover. The right flank of our zone of operation was held all by Wild Bills comrade himself for a long period of time, befor he finally becomes a victim of the famous Saito Togan. You can imagine, if even such an important person as Saito Togan is involved in this operiation, it must be truly important.

We have to be thankfull again for allah reall is mercyfull with those who truly believe, because one of the famous Mukthar Active Response Units was with us and was able to critically wound Saito and force him to leave the zone of combat.

This brave soldier truly shows us, why our glorious nation is at the absolute pinnacle of genetical engineering. I would rather face a wild hord of antipodes than stand against one of these shaytans. Our Mukthar comrandes single handedly wiped out Saito Togan and kills 4 more members of the enemy forces befor he deep infiltrates the enemy teritory.

By that time the battle was allready decided. There were a few Japanese soldiers left who could flee from the battlefield, but we are sure that will be able to track them down.

But the big suprise comes at the end. As we were able to recover 2/3 of the stolen material it amazed the living daylights out of us, as we find out that the stolen material was nothing less than several cubes from high ranked ISS Members plus technical plans from the JiYuan Open-Pit Side.

Right now at the moment we are on our way back to our homebase to secure our found treasure. The riddle that we have to solve now is, why din´t they kept those treasure for themselves and who are the once they try to hand over the material?

But for now i have to close my report, off course i will inform you, as soon as anything vital happens.

Inshallah you will hear from me soon!
