ARMORED TROOPER
BATORA CAMPAIGN LOG
Even as the
dust settles from the battle at Libertine base, an ominous Gilgamesh
dropship comes down from orbit. Soon afterwards, the commander
of Ripper Squad contacts the team, demanding they appear at Lowden Dam
for a final showdown. If the team refuses, he will blow up the
dam, and flood the entire town of Lowden below!
The team
resupplies their Turbocustoms, Aisha joining them, and they go to the
dam. At first it is silent but for some burning Balarant ATs,
victims of Ripper Squad's arrival. Then suddenly, four
Bloodsucker heavy ATs burst from cover- Ripper Squad!
The team
desperately tries to find tactical advantage in the structure of the
dam, while simultaneously destroying the bombs planted on the Dam's
surface.
Each of
Ripper Squad's Bloodsucker ATs is equipped with different weapons-
Solid Shooters, Flamethrowers, Iron Claws- that are telltales of
the pilots inside.
Each member of Ripper Squad is a bitter rival of one or more of the team members. The battle becomes fiercely personal.
Only the team's
inventive tactics and faithful coordination keep them alive, levaraging
the exploding bombs and a vantage point at the top of the dam.
Even
Aisha must face one of her old demons, one of her subordinates who had
been captured by the Red Shoulders and brainwashed into piloting the
deadly new Strike Dog! Thankfully she manages to cut through the
mind wiping, bringing her former compatriot to their senses as the team
sacrifices their own ATs to bring Ripper Squad to an end.
With the
destruction of Ripper Squad, what does the future hold for the
team? Can they return to their life of peace, or will they rejoin
the seemingly endless war? Only time will tell...
