be somewhere here,“ said cpl. Duarte, looking toward his scanner. “But it might be digged somewhere.”

“And what we’re looking for?”

“Some slave-node to the central part. They’d been older nodes, when this junkyard was a functioning part of Novyy Bangkok, and there should be an older node linked to the central. And I would be damned if I would say that Nomads didn’t like the junkyards…”

“Attention everyone,” interrupted voice of captain Isis Goncalves from POS Marina Silva. “I have an information that there are Tohaa units on way to your area. I repeat, there are Tohaa nearby and closing.”

“Commander Singh here,” grabbed col. Singh the communicator. “I confirm the message. Should we consider the Tohaa hostile?”

“I’m afraid you should. There is an rumor about secret pact between Haqqislam, Nomad and Tohaa forces in Novyy Bangkok. I don’t have a clue if that is right, but the Tohaa are on the way to you, so, cautious would be wise.”

“Confirm that, Captain. Commander Singh out.”

He took a bried look around his forces.

“Hey, ladies. The Tohaa are here to anter the fray! Let’s give them a proper Aconteccan invitation!”

(OOC: Mission played was Frontline)

The Tohaa were suddenly all around us. They’d blocked our advance and started to fire upon us, and they managed to get a Greif impostor into our ranks. Before we could manage to put him down, he destroyed one drone and shot the Machinist. Then mercenary Armand le Muet emerged and started to shot with cpl. Ayala, incapacitating her, but not before she shot down his Symbiont. With the sniper out of the game, an Igao infitrator boldly get in the middle of the PanOceanians and attacked them, but was shot down by commander Singh himself.

PanOceanians counterattacked. Naga Operative shot down one of the enemy Tohaa, avoided mine placed and put its own mine under Le Muet position. Then the Tikbalang mover forward and started to shoot toward Le Muet, putting him between the rock and hard place and dispatching him, but was stunned by enemy flashpulse. Akali Commando run from the side and shot down several of the Tohaa with his spitfire, finally getting stunned as well.

Then came the star hour for sgt. Sabina Pollicastro, the unit Traumadoc. Seeing the heavy hitters stunned, she boldly crawled forward and started to shoot with her combi rifle against Tohaa Draal Sabotaur, armed with AP Marksmen rifle, and despite being very far she managed to shot him down!

Enemy regrouped and counterattacked, but were pushed down with the precise shooting of sgt. Pollicastro and other troopers. They managed to kill the Akali and Naga, but didn’t succeeded with the TAG, having too few time to do anything with him. Facing such negative odds, they’d retreated the battlefield, which the Aconteccans dominated. They pushed forward, gaining control over the zones and winning this encounter. They’re again close to their goal, gaining control over the Node.
