ARMORED TROOPER
BATORA CAMPAIGN LOG
While on duty at the near-abandoned Libertine military base, Aisha is startled by
a blaring alarm warning of an enemy ship in orbit. But the war
hasn't touched Batora in months... Strangely a similar alarm goes
off in the Battling Arena, which Quinn has no explanation
for. Even Dr. Newman and Murphy are strangely uncomfortable
with the idea of intrusion, as if they subconsciously know that being
discovered and observed could be fatal.
They all agree
to investigate, and Aisha manages to locate a spaceworthy Balarant
Strike Craft and some space capable Fatty ATs to launch into orbit and
investigate.
When they reach
orbit, they discover a Gilgamesh Spy Station in orbit. Even if it
is abandoned, they decide it is better to destroy it.
But the station is active, and defended by Gilgamesh soldiers! Scopedogs launch from the station to engage.
Although the Fatty ATs are unfamiliar to the team, they manage to use asteroids for cover and engage.
But the
Gilgamesh forces manage to destroy their Strike Ship, leaving them
stranded even as they notice a Gilgamesh ship pulling away from
orbit.
A brutal battle ensues as the heroes fight desperately to get aboard
the station, hoping to find some way to return to the planet below...
Once aboard the
station, they find that it has indeed been monitoring their activity on
the surface, and taking particular interest in a hidden facility marked
only as "Husk". Thankfully they also manage to locate an
escape shuttle just before the station self destructs! As
they plunge through the atmosphere, they wonder who would be watching
them, and why?
