[START TRANSMISSION: TACNET COMMANDERGÇÖS LOG]
With the main fleet docked and prepped, our operations revolving guerilla warfare has turned into skirmishes at multiple fronts, we are now ready to start our final march.
From the newly renamed city of Pristine, 0uter.Heaven and her allies branched off to capture Sver PrimeGÇÖs outer wall. The plan was to do multiple point breach on their defenses, hindering them from regrouping and performing Zerg tactics. Soon we will see the inside walls of SverGÇÖs Capital District, and soon we will end their long overdue tyranny. But for now there is more killing to be done.
I was joined by Chief Commander Blitzkrieg, an old bitter general from the 0.H elite squadron, the same commander I took orders from during the start of my employment with 0uter.Heaven. I have fond memories of serving under his command during the EON wars, it was there that I learnt much of what I know today. His Madrugar was accepted with open arms into our battalion, with the absence of my tank pilot were going to need the extra artillery.
Our initial destination was the northern districts that cut directly into the center wall of Sver Prime. Retaliation was fierce as my forward scout team, led by Lance Corporal Coin, managed to drive back the enemyGÇÖs defensive line and entrench themselves in a Null cannon control hub. I, on the other hand, was leading a squad of elite marksman and the rest of the battalion 5 clicks away. As I hike the final mountain overlooking the facility I got see with my own eyes the severity of the situation; The Lance Corporal might have been able to breach the enemyGÇÖs defenses, but now they were trapped.

[PLAYBACK END]
I had no time to hesitate; I send my troops barreling down the mountain as I pulled up my TACNET to contact the Warbarge HQ. I targeted the two tower nests and gave them the O.K. There was a moment of silence when the loud roar of the orbital cannons thundered over the battlefield and a brilliant light shone down upon us, a multitude of ballistic bombardments crashed into the twin towers with magnificent, multi-colored explosions. We continued our forward momentum to regroup with the scout unit, but I stood there atop that hill, watching as dozens of bodies start raining down on to the ground below, dropping empty husks and entrails everywhere. I find that there is a sort of beauty in that imagery, and yet I have no words to describe it.
As the days continued the battles became less and less bloody, for our side at least. Our forces advanced a lot quicker than anticipated and by the end of the 2nd week we could see the walls in the horizon. Our final sortie before we got recalled back to home base was another capture of an orbital space cannon, not unlike the one from last week. To my surprise we again found that yet another single Heavy Unit was guarding the facility, another abandoned soldier. He stood there, immobile, with the barrel of his Minmatar made HMG pointed right at me. I approach him and quickly strafe to the side and cut the support straps holding up his weapon, followed by a deep cut into his abductor and adductor joints in both his arm and knee as I watch him crash down to one knee, kneeling in front of me. I pull out my Viziam Scrambler Pistol and press it against his throat, GÇ£what is your nameGÇ¥ I ask him, he replies; GÇ£Sin. Mad. BruteGÇ¥ as he looks me dead in the eye seemingly ignoring the pain heGÇÖs enduring from the cuts I made and the fact that I am about to destroy the transneural Burning Scanner located at the back of his neck
GÇ£I am the Sinwarden, and I am going to kill youGǪGÇ¥ He does not blink an eye; he locks his stare with extreme determination and fearlessness. I lower my pistol and turn my back GÇ£were done here men, theyGÇÖre all deadGÇ¥, but as I walk away he screams; GÇ£FIGHT ME COWARD!GÇ¥
He stood up in his own pool of blood and clone juice, rested his weapon on a knee and knelt there panting. Heavy unit W. Bandit from my defensive squad requests that he finish the wounded soldier himself and I allow it. W. Bandit lumbers 20 meters in front of him and sayGÇÖs GÇ£IGÇÖll give you a fightGÇ¥. To my surprise the STB soldier let out a blood-churning scream and opened fire on Bandit, veering from side to side. Bandit, taken by surprise, hesitates initially but the battle continued for almost 3 minutes. Eventually MadBrute chewed through BanditGÇÖs shielding and by chance, or miracle, a single projectile veered off course and struck Bandit right in the frontal lobe. I turn quickly back to my troops and shout GÇ£stop!GÇ¥ as Bandits squad member Defcon lowers his steaming plasma rifle that was just aimed at what was now a pile of plasma scorched flesh and guts. I walked over to Defcon and shot him in the head.
That man won a 1v1 for his life; it was not your honor to kill him.
