Durgama Takeover

Our forward elements got hit first. It happened so fast the moran didn’t even have a chance to report back before being taken out. I set way markers on the tactical display and instructed the puppet master to send his bots to investigate. He grumbled under his breath but followed my order. Andy; or was it Sid, I can never remember which is which, rounded the corner at one of the cliffs. It spotted something on the building roof and opened fire. It got shot to scrap for its efforts.
“Asura,” the puppet master gasped. At this point I realized we were screwed.

We were given unclear mission parameters on the outset, something about them being highly classified; utter bull. I attempted to salvage what was left of this botched operation. The evader was instructed to open fire on anything that moved. After gunning down a sniper and the automated defense turret, he proceeded to unload into the Asura and Deva on the roof of the xenostation, managing to pin them down. I believed this was the opportunity to get the initiative back. I instructed an infiltrating Prowler with a series of markers on the best route to a Deva station behind the building. From scanning the enemy network and observation, I realized that this was the officer in charge. The Prowler made it around the building undetected, but I lost contact soon after this. A few moments later the Deva rounded the corner and blasted the last supporting puppetbot, indicating that the Prowler somehow failed.

I ordered the retreat of the critical assets on a private link. The chimera and the Evader were regrettably thrown at the enemy to ensure a successful escape.

In short lack of intelligence was the key failure here, not my command.
