INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM SURFACE….

DECRYPTING…

Scout team have been order to intercept and defend location [WITHHELD]. Shasvastii pioneers taking position to provide overwatch for extraction. Tactical Domain Specialist deployed to assist Armed Imposition Detachment escorting the survey team. Survey team to fallback to MORAT DEFENSE LINE [WITHHELD] and prepare for contact.

Primary Directive: retrieve survey data.

Human forces augmented by AI avatar constructs; expect the enemy to be familiar with terrain.

INCOMING DATA-BURST…

>>>Speculo Agent [WITHHELD] signal detected among enemy signatures…

(Turn 1) Overwatch escort in place to intercept enemy command… we must trust our hidden brother to hold the dawnward flank. Enemy command highly coordinated and armored: recommend defense action. Human forces are resisting our firepower but our defenses are holding. Mentor Rasht beginning interface with facility systems.

(Turn 2) Speculo Agent [WITHHELD] has successfully drawn enemy fire. Caliban moving in to assist Speculo in fungal forests in order to stymie the human advance.

Mycoform analyst captured by enemy forces. Successful human translation of mycotic communication is unlikely.

Allied forces taking casualties. Mentor Rasht initiating defensive fall back and laying down covering fire as pioneer forces retreat. Mounted human mercenary eliminated. Tactical Domain Specialist eliminated by human forces. Armored Imposition Operative has been pushed back taking wounds. Operative disabled. The human operatives have captured the survey drone remote. While suboptimal this fixation may distract them from discovering our true intentions. The EI must defend its own secrets as must our own.

(Turn 3) Speculo Agent [WITHHELD] died in the defense of our retreat. Their sacrifice will ensure the survival of the Shasvastii Continuum. The genocidal humans must be made to pay for their crimes! Mentor Rasht has successfully quit the field in possession of one of our research ikadron batroids.
