"Arriving at SF-3, dwelling quarters." Dry sound of AI driver made Daoying awake from her short nap. Yawning, Yin lazily popped up updated data at her comlog - There were growing numbers of reported logistic losses, missing civilians including children, along with brutally murdered bodies devoid of their Cubes.
"Cap'ain, scouts reporting Spiral Corps crewmen nearby. They claim they were merely passing by, and stranded due to lack of fuel - They request StateEmpire aid to continue their journey."
Her faithful subordinate, Sea Dog the Haidao reported briefly.
"They would like to meet our command, so they could discuss their cause - Cap'ain, would you like to meet them by?"
The meeting soon came to an end - a weird-looking Zhanshi, clad in suspicious uniform without any army patch, yelling 'DIE, ALIEN SCUM!' to Spiral Corps Human representative. He died on the site, then Spiral Corps Crew, Petro Alpha, opened their fire without hesitation.
"To battle, men!"
The Ambush led Yin to lose her initiative - Petro Alpha Crewmen got the initiative.
(Spiral Corps won Initiative by 10, While Yu Jing rolled 4)
The Map undergone a little bit of rework since today was kinda busy on our place. Much less dense than before.
Spiral Corps brought a lot of Helots, along with compromised Clipsos Infiltrators for zone controls. Their spearhead was Draal Saboteur - now on with Stratuscloud.
Losing initiative led Yu Jing a task; how to handle a Kiyutaan Imposter, and its E/Marat?
"That Tohaa's using something unfamiliar, cap'ain. My aiming device suggest high density nanoclouds shrouding that guy."
Sea Dog reported. Daoying saw Draal surrounded with Stratuscloud, an alien device to shroud oneself into self-imposed fog of war.
"Men, stay extra vigilant - that device running mean it will trigger its gun with every chances."
As Mowang trooper reveal, Spiral Corps opened fire - Yin tried to jam their command console, but unknown white noises from cyber network thwarted her efforts. (Counterintel made Token order deduction into 1)
Spiral Corps' core team, Brawler with Heavy rocket launcher advances - and he aim Flash Pulse remote with HRL. He then insist Camo marker's ARO.
Surprised, Brawler shoots Libertos SMG DEP with extreme caution. Libertos lost the shootout, eventually, and pop up V : Dogged to continue on fight for freedom.
Pinned down between TR remote and Mowang's Flammenspeer, Kiutaan Requested support from Kriigel Agent - a lonesome Tohaa advances, throwing two smokes into Libertos' vicinity.
"Uh, Sir? I think I heard a Tohaa screaming over there.."
Sea Dog reported Kriigel's slapstick fate. But then, now free from Libertos' SMG, Kiutaan Imposter finally begins to activate.
Spiral Corps then advance Helot Militias into vantage points, both of them got discovered - SMG LRL options.
"Sir, those Spiral Tohaa seems to never leave their side. They're advancing the fishmen into their grave."
Spiral Corps' turn ends, Yu Jing lost a Warcor, Liberto and a HMG bot shot down by Rocket.
"Patch things up, and lets get going, people! Lee! Don't slacker around there. Drop ASAP!"
Yin snarled. With her order, something soars through the battlefield.
"Press the attack, but do not advance too much - we got zones to secure. Do you copy?"
Daoying issued her orders, Liu Xing tried to argue - but soon, after he saw massive debris floating upon battlefield, he changed his mind.
"Their commander was compromised, but.."
Total Reaction bot swept through the battlefield, capturing a zone next to deployment zone.
Igao tried to dodge TR bot - but with bullets flying into him, Igao fell helplessly. Kuang Shi fails dodge on LRL bullet, saving fire ammo but gets struck by a stone. [Hull Breach Kill count : 2]
Mowang advances, engage Clipsos but takes a wound due to critical hit.
"Position secured, good to go - wait, Sea Dog. You didn't advanced?"
"No, Cap'ain. Uh, does that matter?"
"It matters, you idiot!"
Yu Jing killed many Spiral Corps agents, but due to Haidao not stepping upon Zone, the occupied zones were same for Yu Jing and Spiral Corps.
Spiral Corps lost a lot of order due to Yu Jing's offensive actions. Clipsos moves, taking a shot at TR bot - and Husong goes down by STONE, not bullets.
[Hull Breach Kill Count : 4]
And a Reex Escort gets a stone to the butt while trying to shotgun billiard.
[Hull Breach Kill Count : 5]
Yu Jing begins to advance, Jumping Mowang into the fire-lane of Draal.
"Zhao, take that bastard out."
Yin ordered - and sturdy, silent man, Zhao, aimed his massive manipulators.
"Commander, we got intel - a notorious Spiral Corps broker, namely Buil Daa, is currently at our cause. Outer facade's a diplomatic delegate, but If we can seize that alien.."
Daoying Yin nodded.
"Affirmative. If that makes our land safer, why not. Zhao, you got one more task - I know you can to this. Bring that delegate here, in one piece."
Spiral Corps' turn ended quickly, since their order deposit was near to zero. Liu Xing finally gave into Clipsos, but that was it.
"Zhao, advance!"
Ensuring victory, Yin commanded as she saw Vuil Daa running into backwards.
Seeing Tohaa get beat was always good but NA2 tohaa getting a kicking is even better
Such an excellent report and victory. A credit to Yu Jing for sure!
(You are making the rest of us look bad though 🙂 )
We shall look into your claim DeadlyOcean!
Beautiful Table and Minis, love the Liberto’s style!
Good job. Nice narrative style. Congrats on the win.
Absolutely love to see a liberto in action!
The fist of the empire showing those artichoke deviants who is boss! Nice report mate.
Nice job dismantling Spiral Corp!
Again a gorgeous army…and a very nice report as well!
As Company policy, Spiral Corps never involved this conflict. They are all rouge mercs and possible shasvasti spies. 😉
