USC Command: “Thunder Actual, this is Command. Be advised—our forces have been pushed back from the Blacksite. Enemy forces has entrenched themselves and… confirmed… the Hellfire weapon has been destroyed.”

Company Commander (Thunder Actual):“Command, say again? Hellfire is gone?”

USC Command: “Affirmative. We cannot allow them to hold that position. Effective immediately, all reserve units are to be activated. You are to regroup, rearm, and begin preparations to retake the area at once.”

Thunder Actual: “Understood. Any intel on enemy reinforcements?”

USC Command: “Satellite scans indicate a possible White Horse Alliance encampment in the southern sector. Location is unconfirmed, but movement patterns match their signature. Prepare the paratrooper company for rapid deployment.”

Thunder Actual: “…Command, that sector is uncharted. No maps, no routes. It’s an unknown area.”

USC Command: “Acknowledged. You’ll be dropping blind. But if the Alliance is down there, we cannot hesitate. Thunder Actual—secure the Blacksite, locate the camp, and neutralize the threat.”

Thunder Actual: “Copy all. Thunder is moving. We’ll take it back.”

USC Command: “Good hunting, Commander. Castle out.”
