From the desk of Captain Negan J McNamara,
To Colonel Kieran, on the 24th day of the 7th month of the Terran Calendar at approximately 1124 hours, PVT Vasquez and PFC Creed were on patrol in the southern section bay when a fighting retreat was met. It was the remaining survivors of the 4th Kazak Spetsgruppa Alfa team sent to defend our Northern Station storage facilities. In said retreat were Colonel Voronin, Doktor Alexi, and Private Misha. After having engaged a rouge group of Tohaa forces, the troopers were forced into a route, with the three arrivals the only remaining soldiers of their firegroup. After PFC Creed rendered aid alongside the Tartary doctor to stabilize Colonel Voronin, forward Minuteman SGT LeMart radioed in an offensive movement by hostile Nomad forces attempting to expand their forces in our Sector of Control.

With the initiative on our side, we were able to set up in an ambush position with our Minutemen and Marauder strike teams reinforcing our eastern flank by the command section of our rig. On the western field SFC Legosi, Doktor Alexi, and PVT Vasquez would form a defensive posture on the higher rung of the catwalks above the loading area. Blackjack CPL Greene would lead the ground forces in a flanking maneuver.

BJCPL Greene would lead an aggressive alpha strike and knock out Nomadic Remote Missile Launcher platforms while our unit sharpshooter Marauder PFC Granger would disable the Total Reaction HMG Remote as well. With perimeter vanguard eliminated, the Minuteman Recce duo team would make a push forward to establish overwatch by the primary loading office balcony. However, an opposing operative was hiding a Spitfire and we suffered SPC Dria as a casualty. Per JCPL Greene’s report, his Mobile Suit was isolated and hacked by opposing Fireteam units. BJCPL Greene was able to initiate a reset, and blasted both sets of chest mines eliminating 2 enemy troopers before becoming a casualty himself. In a show of resilience the Nomad strike teams were able to advance and render PVT Sanchez unfit for duty as well as PFC Creed.

With Colonel Voronin advancing up to support BJCPL Greene, he would send his antipode forth while the Kazak Doktor unfortunately could not save either of our troopers. However with the enemy boarded up and on the run, Spetsnaz Senior Sergeant Artyom parachuted down on our western flank, and launched a last minute kill order against the enemy Lieutenant, yet was unsuccessful.

After this however, the Nomads allegedly turned boot heel and left the engagement as being unable to cause sufficient casualties upon our own position. Currently requesting additional reinforcements, as well as patrol support to escort Colonel Voronin and his survivors to another Kazak Column down the line at the Spetsgruppa Theta staging area.
