With the Aleph foothold in The Chimneys solidly established, a scouting party under the command of Deva Functionary Duk334r1 was sent to the Gorge to inspect reports of Shashvasti inflitrators. Given the high presence of Nomad forces, likely due to an Arachne Node in the vicinity, discretion was the foremost objective along with inspecting a tech coffin believed to contain EI resources and hacking into communication Antennas to better scan the area.

Abandoned mining tunnels were used for the initial incursion with a lone Krakot discovered along the path. The drunkard was dealt with by the team paramedic and conscripted into service for operation security. Upon reaching the edges of the Cosmica HQ area Haqqislam forces were discovered supporting the Nomad garrison and despite discretion a short skirmish quickly unfolded.

The Danavas hacker quickly boosted the firing algorithms of the Zayin remote support upon sighting of a Shihab gun platform and a Lasiq sniper coveringlarge amounts the objective zone. Initial firing accomplished little and instead a coordination of a Spitfire Deva Functionary, a Dakini Heavy Gun and a Daleth unit led to the disabling of the Shihab before the Daleth damaged it beyond repair. Unfortunately the Daikini was damaged in the process. Posthuman support took active control of it’s scouting body and moved up to hack one of the two antennas in the near vicinity. The Krakot unit disappeared into a building and started to explore forward. Likely hunting down something sensed by it’s extra-terrestrial organs. Due to the strength of the guardian forces a Garuda unit was called in. Afte a quick tunneling drop it appeared on the flank and worked around taking out a Kaplan unit and narrowly missing a Djanbazan HMG.

The Djanbazan responded with an extended burst of fire that left the Garuda inoperable. Movement of a third Deva Functionary was quickly noted, but not before it opened fire upon the Zayin with a shotgun revealing itself as a opposing unit in disguise. The Zayin was damaged, but support from multiple units removed the threat of the impersonating force in response. A Mukhtar exited an upper story room and came around above the Posthuman scout. Luckily it could not get a visual on that key unit, instead dealing a heavy burst of fire from a Red Fury that completely disabled the Spitfire wielding Deva.

As the Krakot continued to rumble through the structures it was in the Posthuman switched control to engineer up the Zayin, Realizing that the approach was covered by the Lasiq sniper the Dakini Paramedic was sent to approach it from short range. That threat isolated, the Zayin was revived as The Posthuman swapped controls again to toss a couple of E/M Grenades at the Mukhtar to no avail. The Dakini Paramedic bot was sent around the corner to connect to the second antenna and took cover nearby. Unfortunately, despite two separate attempts the Dakini was unable to bypass the firewalls and gain access.

The Djanzbazan reappeared to disable the Zayin again as movement was spotted in the deep field by the Daleth. A couple of flash pulses were fired before what appeared to be the hacker Leila Sharif could do any harm. Movement above the Krakot was detected, but nothing was seen.

The Krakot then proceeded up a ladder to attempt an attack on the Mukhtar and was surprised by a Hunzakut Forward Observer. a quick exchange of fire as it moved past the infiltrator did no lasting harm to either unit and the Krakot continued out the roof to fire on the active response unit, harming it, but falling victim to a burst of suppression fire. The Dakini returned to the antenna near it and managed to fully bypass the security taking control of it. The Danavas DataTracker moved upfield towards the central room containing the tech coffin and settled in for the inevitable response. The lone Naga, intrigued by the thought of the infamous hacker Leila, moved up and was able to surprise her with a Trinity blast.

An Asawira doctor surprised the Naga with a brutal shotgun blast before moving towards the Danavas. Another lucky flash pulse by the Daleth unit blinded it though as the Danavas finished extracting the information from the Tech Coffin.

Successful in their objectives operation forces withdrew to attempt further reconnaissance at a later time.
