Suffer the Silence[edit]
MISSION BRIEFING[edit]
Cripple the planetary defender's ability to repel the impending invasion by razing their comm center.
Objective: Destroy Comm Tower – Locate and destroy the communications tower. This will slow defensive forces across the region.
Objective: Rout defending forces – Defeat any and all forces supporting and defending the communications array.
Natalia: We need to move on with the campaign on our own, for now. Our first priority is to cripple the defensive capabilities of the enemy. We're going to start by attacking their communications infrastructure. Foster, brief him.
Foster: Sir, just as a note, I've configured a version of the Cougar I'm calling the Puma. It may help against infantry. Be on your guard, there's a large enemy force in the area. You'll need to destroy the enemy forces and some specified targets. A fourth base houses the Comm Tower complex on a ridge. Simple – blow it.
Natalia: Right. Simple.
DURING MISSION[edit]
Foster: Sir, seems like you'll be facing combined arms of tanks and standard infantry. Again, should be simple. I still can't believe they're trying to stop you with infantry.
Foster: Sir, this is the first of the enemy bases. Infantry, tanks, and turrets. Let 'em have it.
Natalia: Lieutenant Foster, I want you to monitor their communications. No surprises. And try to figure out who these guys are.
Foster: I'm reading power armor coming over the hill.
Foster: Sirs? Captain, you're facing another base. Standard defenders. So far, I'm reading nothing interesting on the comm bands.
Foster: Sir, I'm reading heavy comm chatter from this base. Expect heavy resistance.
Foster: Sir? I'm reading a BattleMech. A…Light. Looks like an Owens.
Natalia: Careful, sport. This won't be like fighting tanks and infantry.
Foster: Sir, the communication tower complex is on the ridge behind the base. Take it down, along with the defenders, and we can be on our way.
Natalia: Good job, Captain.
Foster: Sirs, before the array went offline, I got some intel. Seems like the planet is run by some sect of the Word of Blake.
Natalia: Word of Blake? That explains the fanatics. Okay, we can't worry about it. We have a lot of Dragoons depending on us no matter who we're fighting.
