Durgama Takeover

"Heavenly voyage" heavy transporter // Orbit of Concilium
Orbital monitoring // Communication log

[SUR.OP WILLIAM] Sir, sorry to interrupt, be we have a strange echo approaching the perimeter of Zebu. Looks like all their transponders are off and they try to jam our sensors. Surely intruders.

[TOHT SUP.]Mhhh it's disturbing... Which unit is closest to the hostiles' position?

[SUR.OP WILLIAM]The Lazarus task force is on site, currently rearming. The officer in charge is Lt Hector from SSA.

[TOHT SUP.]Well contact him and give him these new mission orders. That he establishes an interception at the end of the perimeter, identifies the group and its intentions and engages it if necessary. Let's try to avoid damaging our facilities even more.

Durgama Jungle, Outer Perimeter of Zebu Research Base, Concilium

Lazarus Squad advanced through the toxic haze of the area.

|EPS.OP DESANTOS] No visuals yet, but sensors indicate they should be around...

A crack in the distance caught the squad's attention. At the edge of the forest, emerging from the penumbra of the trees, dark silhouettes emerged from the mist. Immediately Hector's sharp eye, despite the parasites deployed by the ghost armor, noted the presence of the intruder's weapons.

[HECTOR.SAA OP] Defensive positions! Let's try to find out who we're dealing with !

I play a variation of the team i play against Hassassin Barham. Obviously Hector, Parvati, Psicop hacker and Epsilon HMG. This core will be a Nyokia core with the HRL model. With that I play a security Haris with missile launcher Kappa, Tian gou/Bluecoat red fury and a Psicop MMR VMS 1. A raveneye and one Cyberghost hacker finish the team. In G2 a Varangian and a Warcor.

My opponent play Corregidor (yeah Nomad, first of the campaign) with a Correctional team of Diablo and Lopos. A duo of Brigada and Jazz FTO. A clockmaker, EVO bot, a mysterious camo and the beast in kilt : Mcmurder ! He win the Lt roll and choose the deployment, I will be play first. I deploy my core and Haris in total cover, to move out of the biotechvore zone without LoF. The raveneye deploy on the left to cover this angle. My opponent deploy his troupe in a tight formation, core and duo in the center, the camo on the rigth and clockmaker on the left.

Ok time to roll some dice and defend Zebu against this intruder !

T1 : Starmada

[HECTOR.SAA OP] Ok we have to get out of the danger zone, and enter the outpost, follow me! Specialist Bennison, take postion on the roof, we need a visual on our target !

Ok first turn, I need to go out of my DZ. I use 8 orders to take position with my Haris, core, and do a coordinate to evacuate my Raveneye and Cyberghost. The Haris take defensive position with the Tiangou and the Missile launcher in ARO. The core move next the principal building.

With my two remaining order I activate the Nyokia HRL and go to the roof of the building. Then I take an opposition with the pack of nomad : the Diablo use is Flammenspeer to shot against my HRL. And the two lopos try to help him to win the opposition. The EVO drone try to dodge but fail. We roll the dice, the HRL win the opposition, the two Lopos die in the flame, like the EVO drone. The Diablo success on his save roll (it's miracle) and go on total cover.

My Cyberghost try to launch a pitcher near the central tree to avoid a Diablo approached but fail... With my last ordrer, the HRL take an opposition against Mc murder, and the impact template hit Jazz too. She fail her dodge but save the two armour roll. Mcmurder don't have this luck. He made a little dodge (3 on his dice) and don't save the two HRL hit... Ok Great job Nyokia. She now in overwatch on the roof, but a see a camo token who want a revenge... The Kappa ML and the warcor are both in Biotechvore area, and fail there roll... Shame, they go unconscious. Ok great first turn for my, who will react my opponent ?

T1 : Corregidor

Ok my Opponent Core is down and the HRL lock him in his DZ. So firts he activate the camo, who move in the trees to take an angle against my Nyokia. He revealed himself : a Sombra RedFury. Ok bad time for me. We roll dice and the Nyokia die.

Now free the Diablo move in the central tree. Then they take an opposition with Flamenspeer against the Bluecoat. I revealed my Tian gou and dodge. The Psicop try to avoid the template but fail his roll and burn.

Arg, I begin to loss to more troop. With his remaining order my opponent move Jazz and the Mobile in a more comfortable defensive position, confidant in his high BTS values. Then a paratrooper try to land to avoid anny approch by the right side of the table. But the Biotechvore smoke disturb the sensor and the Tomcat land in the Nomad DZ. Still in the zone he move in a more safer position, but the smoke touch him and he fall unconscious. The mobile, Jazz and the engineer successes there save roll (Nomad BTS is the best). Ok I'm in position to strike back, it's murder time !

T2 : Starmada

|EPS.OP DESANTOS] Our fire support is down, I think I can have a visual on the target, let me see.

My Ft core is broken, so I activate my epsilon to shoot on the Sombra. Before that the Varangian launch a smoke grenade to pull all the chance with me. The epsilon take position and shoot, but the Sombra avoid the bullet, expect one and go NWI. The he take a total cover...

Ok my Epsilon move again, take a new LOF against the sombra but he suceed on his dodge. Ok, he don't want to die. I activeted Parvati and move to heal my Kappa ML. Then she move to the corner of the building. My Cybergoth launch her last picther against some crate, in total cover. I try to isolate is LT with coordinate order, but his Lt sucess on his reset (double 5 against 11). Ok the dice don't want to be nice with me. I'm with no more command token, I only take one woud to the Sombra, and the Diablo are to close for me... The Kappa ML take a new defensive position, out biotechvore are. The journalist succed on his save roll (amazing) but she still uncounscious...

T2 : Corregidor

Ok ok. My opponent is in position and he can it hard. The Sombra move out is total cover and take opposition with the Espilon (dare move), but he win the fight and the Epsilon fall unconscious...

Mhhh ok that sound not good... Then the Sombra move and take an opposition against the Kappa ML, who died to thanks to shock ammo. Finally the Sombra climb on the roof to take a shoot against the Cyberghost. Here again, the poor O12 hacker have no chance and died.

Now free, Jazz move in the pitcher and trinity my Psicop. She take one wound and fall uncounscious. Ok this turn was a butchery for my troop. The Sombra is just the devil. The Brigada dodge to take a LOF against Parvati, so she now lock on her position... End of turn, not good for me, but fortunatly, and it's game changer, Jazz is still on the biotechvore zone and fail his BTS roll this time ! She is now uncouscious, and I have plan for her.

T3 : Starmada

[HECTOR.SAA OP] Orbital control, we are suffering heavy losses, we need support!

[SUR.OP WILLIAM] All available units are already engaged, we are under enormous pressure, I'm sorry, you are alone... Good luck

[HECTOR.SAA OP] No one will touch my men, not on my watch. Athena gives me the strength to defeat my enemies.

Ok First of all I need to kill the Diablo's Haris. They can destroy Hector in close combat. But for that the Sombra have to die. I try to kill him with the Varangian chain rifle, but the Sombra save the touch, and the varangian no... Ok, I move the Tiangou and take an opposition against him, I count on the burst to win the face to face. But the dice are with my opponent and the Tian Gou die (and all my unpainted mini are dead... It's sign, I need to paint them fast ahah). Ok. I try an other strategy. Hector it's time to shine like never ! So I move in the other corner of the building and dodge to avoid a first opposition. Then Hector move an ignore totaly the Sombra, who deconcerted by this lake of respect miss his shot. Now the opposition off the game. Hector move and take an opposition against the Diablo's and Jazz. Roll the dice : three hit for Hector, the Diablo fireing Diablo take three hit, and the two other fail there dodge roll. 3 armour save and 6 BTS save for each. In an explosion of plasma all the fireteam disapear, remain only the unconscious body of two for autospy.

With the remaing order, Hector shoot in the back of the Sombra (no glory, but necessary to kill him), and the Sombra died. Then he move next the Nomad HVT to secure him, and on the move shoot and kill the Engineer. Well Hector in berserk mode.

Lot a luck in my opposition against the Haris. Lot of luck. My opponent only have his Brigada Lt alive, so the turn 3 will be short.

T3 : Corregidor

The Brigada Lt try to avenge these men. He move to take an opposition against Parvati, and she take one wound. Then she move in total cover. The path is free for the Lt, the duel of the chief. Hector dodge to escape the flame thrower hit. So the Brigade shoot with his multi rifle. Hector take two hit and save one.

The game end on this, and the Brigada fall back in the jungle, to made his report to his employer.

Victory 7-0 for Starmada. Only three survivor on my side ! The game was very hard, and the final different if Hector wasn't be a killing machine. Great game, on a amazing table ! Thank to my opponent for this game, and for you, who follow the adventure of my troop during this amazing campaign ! And sorry for the quality of the pictures...

Unexpected visitors consequence
Autopsy report N°15488B56 // Zebu point.
Autopsy conducted by Doctor Catherine Beauchamp, Psi unit.

"The autopsy of corpses does not tell us much. The few bodies we found are too badly burned. I'm not even talking about the "melted" ones in the plasma ball.[...] We found some elements and human compound inside, as well as "subdermal" metal. But the nature of the samples does not allow to know if they were improved or if the fusion took place during the impact. [...]Surprisingly, we found on the best preserved body a neurochemical detonator, prohibited by the Concilium convention. I deduce that the force must have been irregular in nature, perhaps mercenaries from the Submondo network? Sorry not to be able to tell you more sir. The next time you want to pull a few things out of corpses, tell your men to try to keep at least one piece..."

Declaration of Toth supervisor to Oberhaus, Concilium Prima

Dear Senators, citizens of the human sphère

These 15 days have been trying, in many ways, for our soldiers and their spirits. We have suffered assaults from all sides, lost loved ones and much of what makes the beauty of this world. Every day the combined army advances a little more towards us, inexorably. The facts are there.

And yet, despite this terrible observation, I still have hope, I foresee this day of liberation when we can celebrate our victory to see Concilium finally free from all hostile occupations. This hope is carried by all the commanders with whom I fought side by side, and who never gave up, always exceeded themselves for the mission and to save what makes our humanity. I know that this enthusiasm is not for everyone, and that some of you would like to give up.

To those I will say this: humanity has not lost this war. There is an incredible strength within us, an energy capable of overthrowing mountains and emptying oceans: the dream embodied by Concilium, that of a united humanity, shared by all the citizens of this planet. This the combined army cannot take away from us, and that is why it cannot win this war. As long as we believe in victory, no one will defeat us. Senators, I will rise whenever necessary, here and everywhere in the sphere, because our ideal deserves to be defended: UNITY. COOPERATION, PROGRESS.
