Asteroid Blues

It is with great sadness that I report our failure to breach Facility Z1115 and complete our mission.

Our initial approach was met with no resistance, we advanced quietly and our Zhayedan Marksman neutralized a lone Zanshi guard on top of the outer wall.
Before he finished his prayer-of-thanks the shadows came alive and he was cut down mercilessly. Repeated fire from our Ghulam made no difference against a Ninja, hidden by her advanced camouflage. Our Tuareg sniper went down with an arrow through her throat while placing a mine to stop the threat.

The explosive should have given us some reprieve, but a Tiger Soldier sacrificed himself to detonate the device by dropping down on top of it This allowed the Ninja to continue her bloody work.

Our brave Khawarijs Lieutenant trade to secure the objective, his red turban trailing him while he jumped over the wall. We heard his shotgun roar, but all that appeared through the gate was a Zhuyong Invincible, his armor scratched and pistols smoking.

The Al Fasid covered our retreat by mining the approach and laying down heavy fire. The Yu Jing appeared in greater number while he stood his ground and was hit a dozen times before a Hsien mowed him down.

We will have our revenge.
