Interviewing Officer 547d Leclerc.
Subject recreation designated Wallace, W.

"Mr Wallace, can you please walk us through the incident 24 hours previous at the ammo storage site."
"Aye ah can. We were out on patrol, lookin' fur aliens, and the IFF failed. Pano lad saw wan o the Mormaers, put a couple of bullets in him..."
"We haven't been able to verify that, the trooper's body camera was damaged."
"Aye, damaged by the bloody machine gun... Onyway, they breached the door of one of the armouries, and set up to ambush us..."

"There's not much evidence to suggest that, but continue."
Wallace grit his teeth.
"Aye. Fine. So Forfar the Cameronian, he heard the door and charged forward, the bugger on the roof capped him for it."

The official raised a hand to stop the recreation.
"You have to understand what that must be like for someone not used to the hybrids."
"Aye, but they had already started the fight afore then..." Wallace leaned forward, elbows on his knees. " so anyway, one of the Greys spotted this thing in the distance and fired at it, and him and the volunteers wi that computer lassie pushed up. They put fire down on some Fusiliers, think they got one... "

Leclerc nodded
"Yes, I'm sure you'll be happy to hear his cube was recovered with relatively minor damage."
"Aye, right. So I grabbed the 45th lads on the way the arsenal, dropped smoke and kicked the door off the hinges, from there on it's a bit of a mess, there was a lot of people shooting and something caught fire..."
"yes, it's alleged that you fired a flamethrower resulting in the death of a bounty hunter."

"Never happened, anyway, the Knight in the building and Joan of bastard arc charged at us... Stop smirking, it happened."
"yes I'm sure"
"anyway we fought for a bit and we dinged each other up"

"One of the Highlanders dropped, must have taken the hit a bit before and kept going, Joan and the rest of us kept fighting, we got her once in the side, once in the back and I stuck the heid in her and she fell."

The O12 man raised an eyebrow.
"Admirable restraint in knocking her out...please continue"

"Well them volunteers and the grey took fire from a kamawi or whatever the frogmen call themselves, they fired back and dropped him."

"Kamau."offered Leclerc.
" Dunno, dunny care, so then the Swiss Guard killed another Mormaer, but took a round off the Grey's hmg. "

"I don't think he liked that, cos he dumped about a half a belt of ammo into the Grey for it, killed him long afore his head hit the ground."

"The father Knight and me were still in a rammy, but I saw an opening, and instinct took over, jammed my blade up under his chest plate and saw it pop out his collar."

Leclerc leaned back.
"His cube was damaged beyond recovery, he'll be restored from a backup, but he cannot corroborate your version of the events."
"Good thing I'm here to tell you then isnt it?" Grinned the Scot-ish man.
"Quite." Leclerc replied coldly polite. "now if you could explain the outage of sensors and cameras in the area?"
"Oh aye, smoke grenades and the computer lassie's flash pulse, she used it to blind an orc."

"One of the Galwegians knocked out a paramedic, but got blasted by the Swiss Guard on the roof."

"I dropped some more smoke, the SAS trooper came in behind me and secured the armoury, I think he found some contraband in their that we bagged up..."
Leclerc smiled humourlessly
"yes, one light flamethrower of neoterran manufacture."

"Aye that's the one. I popped a few more smokes, and engaged the ORC, he fought really well but I caved his visor in with the pommel of my sword."

"I couldn't see, but I think the Swiss HMG hit one of the 45th, his pal and the remaining Grey who'd caught up with the volunteers dropped smoke for cover."

"A fusilier came at me, I drove him back with my rifle, and the other Fusilier lay down suppressive fire. The last 45th fired up at the Swiss and the Cameronian ran into the Fusilier's suppression fire,with predictable results."

"The Grey wi the volunteers took a go at the Fusiliers, Didnae go well, he took two in the face, computer Lassie took over, and then she got hit in the arm."
