Asteroid Blues

This is Sous Lieutenant Rasty commanding Strike Force “Liberté”, trying to reach Ariadna Command. Command, please come in. Hello, can anyone hear me? Merde...

Whoever can hear this, please send this Message to Ariadnan High Command immediately, it is urgent.

My team and I were sent to reconnoitre an alternative approach to the spaceport traffic control offices and we found a promising route through the freight hangars nearby. Obviously we weren't the only ones to have thought of this way, for a mercenary defensive force was waiting for us in an ambush, with a damned TAG nonetheless.

Trying to clear the way for our forces, I ordered my troops to advance. On the left flank a fire team of Loup-Garous used the cover of a cargo hauler and managed to neutralize a Tsyklon remote with their adhesive launcher, and on the right flank the Moblots et Métros tried to take out the Anaconda TAG, only managing to damage it.
The enemy counterstrike followed swiftly, the Anaconda turned to face Quentin, wielding the teams HMG, and managed to take him out. A team commanded by Emily Handelman attacked the Loup-Garous, heavily injuring two of them. Under the heavy cover fire a remote removed the glue from the Tsyklon, bringing it back online.

Our own mercenary Knauf could get a shot at the TAG, but it's skilled pilot took evasive manoeuvres and hid behind some containers. The Chasseur sniper Hugo tried to attack the HMG wielding Alguacile, but was gunned down by the watchful fire team. Using the confusion, the Chasseur Remy managed to upload valuable data of an enemy remote to our comnet, the files are embedded in this transmission. In a desperate attempt to take out the hostile heavy troops, the Moblot Nicole used all of her Panzerfaust ammo, and got the damned Anaconda right in the chest.

While she and her comrades were still cheering, a traitor Irmandinho took the all by surprise with his chain rifle, eliminating half of the team. Gunning down the bâtard, they were quickly overwhelmed by the advancing team of Alguaciles.

Seeing that a direct attack was not feasible, my remaining soldiers were taking cover near important data consoles in the hangar, preparing to defend the with their lives.

On the right flank, the Alguacil team advanced, taking out Knauf and our docteur Bertrand. Seeing that not even medics were safe from those scum, I decided to let my men fall back in the ventilation systems of the hangars.

Right now, we are playing hide and seek with the hostile forces, trying to lure them in an ambush and away from our allied forces. We will try to contact Command when possible.

Sous Lieutenant Rasty, signing off.
