Briefing : Sunflower District

Photo of Ji Yuan, Civilian Quarters - Official Name for the site is Standard Facility - 3, but dwellers often mention it as 'Sunflower' District due to its initial, SF-3.

"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)

"Mustered our forces, Cap'ain. Like a Mustard." Sea dog chuckled. "Joke like it one more time, and I'll sew your lips." Yin ordered.

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?

"Baadaa Maangzaa, a renowned criminal Tohaa, sir. Serial Terror records, multiple murders including ransom action against their own race. Does Spiral Corps never look upon papers?" Zhanshi Bian grumbled.

"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."

Spiral Corps' side of board.
"Our civilian sidekick, Ms. Aida reported that awkward Zhanshi guy is there swearing. No army patches, fin-like facial features reported. Looks like that's not one of us. Sir." Reserve; Kiutaan with E/Marat
Slow humming of massive steel hulk made every Yu Jing soldiers to look behind. Mowang Trooper, marching from their backside, entered the battlefield as the suspicious Zhanshi appeared.

Turn 1 : Fishy times

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.

"Libertos reporting usage of DEP, Cap'ain, or he's making an amorous approach to you - god, that Helot Language is hard to decipher." Sea dog reported.

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.

Smoke was on, but Kriigel rolled 19 - a steel debris hit him in the face, knocking him down. [Hull Breach Kill Count : 1]

"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.

Kiutaan maneuver backwards - Aida and Kuang Shi Delays, then retaliate with Chain rifle and Viral pistol. Due to Aida's Mimetism Kiutaan failed on alpha strike.
Kiutaan fell, taking one Kuang Shi with his Submachine gun.

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."

"A Cube Jaeger?!" Yin yelled in surprise. Cube Jaeger tries to take out Aida, but she saves all three shots - Jaeger gets blinded by Flash Pulse.

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.

"Bot up and running, Cap'ain!" Sea Dog reported success of repair, and Daoying checked the sub-mission of Test Run.
"Landing stable, commencing." Liu Xing, Lee dropped from Spiral Corps' back lines.

"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.."

"Merc Doc down, Sir! And-Sh*t, armor breach!" Liu Xing took out Brawler doctor, and then gets a stone to his face.
"Confirmed - Signal Code 'Brawler' down, I'll take this now." Daoying empowered TR bot with her assistance.

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.

Husong Bot advancing into tactical position - to pin down Draal.
"Ms. Aida reported Cube Jaeger kill, commander. She couldn't reach Draal due to some weird mine." Aida Swanson takes out Cube Jaeger easily.
"She bunked Helot - and - uh, looks like she got a stone to her face." [Hull Breach Kill Count : 3]

"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.

Pinned down Draal. If she stood up, she'll be facing two Total Reaction bots and a Mowang.

Scores : 2 (Yu Jing) vs 1 (Spiral Corps)

Turn 2 : Stones everywhere

The turn started awesomely, as a Warcor lunges himself to engage Liu Xing in a fist brawl. Liu Xing got astonished, but took him down by hitting CCW into his head. "Was this guy drunk? or.. damn, commander, this is a Tohaa Warcor!" Liu Xing reported.
An Epic level fistbump

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]

Reex Data-tracker 'TechPP', grabs a zone by constant dodging.

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.

"Busted, commander. Proceeding into coordinates." Mowang Zhao took Draal easily.

"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."

Buil Daa, master of conspiracy and sabotage actions, were nominated as Yu Jing's target to seize upon.
"Orders received." Mowang fluently goes into suppression status.

Scores : 5 (Yu Jing) vs 2 (Spiral Corps)

Turn 3 : Take Prisoners

Spiral Corps was in peril. With all their effective gunfighters gone by stone or gun, Two clipsos Infiltrators had to do every task.

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.

"You shall never reach Mistress Vuil Daa!" a flicker of Holoprojector, Taagma schemer, the field commander, tries to stop Mowang from advancing.
"I will." Mowang answered with cold lead bullets, gracefully avoiding STONEs to the face.

Mowang pumped every orders into it, reaching into Delegate's vicinity.

"I need EVAC, NOW! Vuil daa frantically hit the calls, especially she succeeded on dodging Mowang's spitfire. Mowang's emotionless helm made her shriek with fear.
"Target neutralized." Zhao smashed Vuil Daa with his bare hands, making Tohaa schemer unconscious. (Mowang won Bare-hand CC with Delegate.) Picking her up, Zhao saw Spiral Corps' survivors retreat swiftly into their spaceship - which was, surprisingly, well fueled.

"I got the schemer, Commander. They're retreating - In my senses, it is called a victory."
"Indeed. Zhao."

Daoying Yin reported the end of battle - The Sunflower district is now safe, for now.

Final Score : Yu Jing 8 vs Spiral Corps 2
