Oh boy, am I glad you are still alive! Great push through the river; this sector has been taking quite a toll on our men, and in matter of fact, its casualty rates are 20% greater than the other invasion fronts.

While you were fighting with Beta front, Gama front advanced significantly, with a significant decrease in casualties. However, Beta front advanced even more, despite the significantly higher count of bunkers than any other sector we invaded. The IFC troops are in full retreat, and Alpha front is encountering no resistance. The Delta and Epsilon fronts aren't having quite as much luck. Reports have it that progress is slow and casualties are high. Epsilon front is lagging more than any other battle group, mostly because they are being bombarded with large amounts of heavy artillery.

Theres no backing down now; during the last few hours, the IFC and the UESC were hammering out cheap diplomatic documents, but no side was compromising enough to satisfy anyone. Leading again to another pissing match. The IFC are showing great persistence in fighting and protecting the land they've taken. The UESC wants in on the IFC's secrets, and is willing to forcibly fight them off Pfhor Prime to make that happen.

Thanks to your excellent recent performance, I'm throwing you into the Delta and Epsilon fronts in hopes that you can help them out. I'm sending you and some of our platoon members down to a region where we believe artillery cannons are being held. I'll be giving you some hand grenades which should be able to take out the artillery cannons with one shot.

You have been briefed on these grenades before; they operate in the standard way.. This model was modified slightly to be used for mining. The new features are Ketro-Carbon ANFO based compound to create a powerful blast with small amount of materials (the compond releases a blast of gamma rays, so stay back when they go off).

So, good luck, and catch them by surprise. Try to take care of the men I'm sending with you, UESC doesn't like casualties, and these guys are some of the best soldiers we've got.
