February 5, 3066 – We have jacked our power system into theirs and restored it, and unfurled their JumpSail and begin to get them ready.
Meanwhile, our guess was spot on. They were supposed to arrive at this pirate point along with other units about to hit Alshain, but this one never jumped out. It’s electric system was hurt jumping into the area. Upon arrival, it was damaged, and they were unable to repair it, and that prevented them from getting their jump sail out, and the attack was already underway, and the Alshain Avengers were supposed to come back and collect them after the battle. But all four units were destroyed, and every soldier of the unit was killed by the Combine for treason, and they apparently didn’t give up this unit.
Over the next year, it seems the three groups become increasingly territorial about their areas. The people, incusing a squad of infantry on the Achilles were the worst, and then the others followed quickly. By the time we had arrived, they had socially devolved into gang warfare, territorial stuff, and many folks have become insane due to being in those conditions for three years
But, on board the Overlord C is a full battalion, including a command lance, of pristine, fresh Combine mechs. Only a few were opened up for supplies and such, such as command chairs, and that’s it. Meanwhile the Achilles was made pimpier and more comfortable over time, and it’s nice. Only one room was really dirtied up, as the nastiest latrine you ever saw. They used the Shuttles for additional space and it’s really nice the. The JumpShip, missing its electricity, and the battleground in the middle, is just hit, and it’ll take months to clean and refit.
So, the good news is that we can return all of this stuff to the DCMS and they will get all happy.
Now we could squirrel away some of the stuff that’s here. An Achilles DropShip is a huge boon to our growing navy, and they have pair of fighters, some small craft, and mechs we could take easily enough. But no, this is an Extraction Raid, and it will work marvelously.
But it will take longer to recharge the sails this far out.
