Asteroid Blues

noise from the outside was getting louder.
Farruh as all others hurred to went out from the building.
Throught the camp was marching a TAG, & it shapes let nothing to doubdt about his origin - it was totaly Aliens battle machine. but all in the camp was running to the TAG, not from him, alarm was not ringed, & FoF systems recognised the TAG as totaly our own. opened a tactical window on his comlog Farruh realised what TAG belongs to one of his best info-war hackers.
haqqislametes by the while started happily shout & whistle, meeting the captured TAG.
- Caster, do you hear me? report! - Farruh activated inner tactical link
- Boss, you looking for a proofs in yours investigation? i hope this thing would be enought!
TAG came very close & standed still right before Farruh. from the cockpit was heard muffled bangs and roars - morat pilot inside was surely exhausted but alive.
- how could you be so cruel with the prisoner!
- Sorry, Boss, but this TAG pilot killed many our Yuans & Bashi mercenaries. as you know - they lack blessing of Cubes, so their friends wanted that Morat blood for sure. they demand his head or huge ransom. so i decided these place would be safier for our Captured Morat

Searching Battareys despite heavy resistance from Ariadna troops we looking for at least slightly presence of Shaswastii or Combines. Politicaly it become more & more complex with a fact our commanders cant find anything to satisfie O-12.
But every search could grant you Knowledge. in the end my group find strange signal from one abandoned destroyed batareys fields.
we discoverd very suspicious civilian & some tracking devise, transmiting from the area.

but before we got close, on the battlefield appeared Combined Army troops.
small but elite units fully prepared for battle. Leading position taked Charontid with couple of Morats witch-soldiers bodyguards, his own pet - deadliest taigha, accompanied by morat TAG - Raicho. with a presence of aspect on a battlefield there was no doubdts the shaswastii hiding agents was nearby too.
Combines moved with menace, our group did not cause them neither fear nor surprise

Witch Soldiers covered Chorontid with smoke, & that Aspect start reap our forces like grains

Raicho, also eager battle fame, lose his caution & moved too much close to all our forces. His Machinegun roared the battle, forcing us to seek cover, but morat pilot not know he steped right to his failure. Caster, the misterious person from Al'Hawwa's group, already runned his assault hacking device programs - & he totaly taked controll over aliens battle machine!

But aliens continued stormed the front. Daturazi smoked out the area, & one of them was sent by his Master to take our Al'Hawwa's live. Hacker could parry one of the strikes, but second one mortaly wounded him. But Control over Raicho still was maintained by our EVO specialist with a help of EVO Kameel remote (allah bless the engeeners who develope them)
Charontid himself was closing to our forces, filled the area with lethal rain of bullets. he uses all his evil will to force his troops fight ferously (using CT remove POS from Raicho)

in this crucial moment only bravery & recless dids of our irregular troops saved the day & lives of Swords of Allah soldiers. Yuan Yuan & Bashi Bazouks pillagers... i mean, Yuan mercenaries of course, ferously fighted against human enemies. One of them were able under fire close up & kill enemy Aspect itself, while others delayed Raicho from invicting more damage to our forcess. With a price of their lives unfortunatly

even if we were able to overcome Aspect Body, as you know cursed vodoo tech still let him controll the situaton other battle, & of course our battered forces cant fight easily against a TAG as Raicho... here comes enother heroic effort from our people. simple Ghulam girl, doctor, runed across all the bettlefield.

... and Al'Hawwa, reviewed, could make a mission objective (controll antena) & get attempt to POS Raicho again!

Even in a retreat situation, Combines tried to steal the victory (controll the centrall coffin in the end of a game). Their leason officer, controlled by the will of Charontid aspect itself, tryed secure some at first glance not important crate on these battareys, but was stopped by fire from captured TAG. after LO failure last combines troopers - two REMs - also tryed trow off the haqqs victory - one of them denied our secure HWT, while other also rushed to the treasured coffin. coordinated return fire from our last soldiers prevent it from achive these goal & so Haqqislam win 1-0.
