The map, before deployment.

YJ Deployment.
After careful considering and knowing that Aleph has access to some really nasty melee peeps, the decision was nonetheless made to make a big Zuyong fireteam, that hopefully should be able to score at least one crit if Hippolyta showed up, as was suspected. Anything else should be manageable if it could be caught at range.

Another angle of the Yu Jing troop deployment, not keeping all the three HVT's in frame this time.

Aleph, having more units available with their various tricks, spreads them our with their cheeky netrods placed in cover. The Probot and the Thorakites are placed in the center of their deployment zone, with the myrmidons on their right flank, and eventually Hippolyta on the left flank.

On Yu Jing's first turn, they advance carefully to the console and prone the Shang Ji hacker to use it.

Afterwards, Tai Sheng goes for the kill after Thrasymedes that perv ogles her during a wradrobe malfunction. She scores two crits with the Mk12, hitting each family jewel separately. Miraculously, the incoming rocket that was sent as return fire misses both Tai Sheng and the Shang Ji hacker.

Following this incident, the team moves to the second console on the middle of the bridge and manages to use it, having already determined the specific HVT needed.

Then came Hippolyta, who apparently took exception to Thrasymedes unborn children being eliminated, and proceeded to throw an eclipse grenade, combat jump and then dumpster the Zuyong fireteam. Meanwhile, the Probot did more sensible things, like use two of the consoles.

Being in a precarious state and with only two units left, the YJ commander decides to risk it by seeing if they can eliminate Hippolyta, as they cannot reasonably expect to dodge away from her given her reach. The hope is to gank her and then move on the HVT under the stairs to get *something* out of the match before it ends. It, however, ends in failure.

With no active Yu Jing combatants left, the Aleph team focuses on the objective. the Probot proceeds to hack the last console to mark the last HVT for ganking.

Finally, with all HVT's revealed and gankable, Hippolyta proceeds to do exactly that, walking up to each of them and lightly tapping them with her blade, letting them know to play dead during the exercise.

When Yu Jing's third turn comes up, they are in retreat and the match officially ends in an Aleph victory, even if a mutilated one due to Thrasymedes *decidedly* wounded pride and dangly bits.
