"Give me some cover!"

"I'm out!"

"GRENADE! WATCH OU----"

"WHERE THE HELL ARE OUR REINFORCEMENTS?"

{Location: Inside Armed-Tiger Frigate}

Yain: Commander? What is going on?

[From Radio]Rexian Commander: We [static] forces [static] backup [static].

Communications officer: Sir, we lost them.

Yain: DAMN IT! What is the situation exactly?

C. Officer: Most assault teams report heavy losses. Situation looks bad.

Yain: This was supposed to be an easy win. What went wrong?

C. Officer: I...I don't know sir. We---

Yain: Ah! Curse it. We can’t lose any more men. Give them a retreat signal. Tell them to get out of there. And someone contact the Grand Palace.

"Meanwhile, Darkstar was still down on the planet, waiting for their next assignment...But to no avail"

Prophet: Still nothing...

Angel: So what. We just wait?

Prophet: That’s our orders. Go take some sleep. Something tells me we will stay here longer than expected.

{{ Incoming call }}

Prophet: It's the admiral. Sir? What is going on?

[From Radio]Yain: We are getting destroyed. That's what's going on. We weren’t expecting a resistance like this. I need you to leave the planet and return to the fleet. I can’t lose you too.

Nomad: Sir. With all due respect. This is bullshit. We just came here for a reason. We can’t just leave the planet.

[From Radio]Yain: Nobody said anything about leaving the planet Nomad. We will still stay in orbit but we will have to find another way to deal with their ground forces. Now move it.

Nex: What are we going to do with the factory?

[From Radio]Yain: We are sending a team of engineers to place automatic defences around the place. But this is not your concern right now soldier.

Nex: Understood.

[From Radio]Yain: Good. Get back to the frigate as soon as possible. Yain - out.

Nex: Are we serious?

Prophet: We don’t have any other option. Just go with the flow for now. Let’s go prepare the ship. X1 I need you to do a final scan around the place. Last thing we need is having our engineering team getting attacked.

X1: [Robotic noises]

"A few minutes later..."

Yain: How are we doing?

C. Officer: About 64% of the forces we sent down there, returned safely.

Yain: The rest?

C. Officer: 23% dead and 13% missing.

Yain: What about Special Operations?

C. Officer: Both Darkstar and Void squad just reported in.

Yain: At least we got that right.

C. Officer: So what do we do now?

Yain: I don’t know. These guys don’t seem to know when to give up. That or they feel rather brave lately...We will create a blockade for now and we will see. Maybe we can starve them to death. Let them send help. They will lose what remains of their fleet. Sooner or later we will return down there.
