Thankfully with most of the squad admiring their mechs it's easy for Sean to assemble the team once the allotted hour is up. The mechanists fill the mechs' tanks to max capacity, and then the squad sets out on their assigned patrol route. Everything was planned out ahead of time by Mech Command and as such the patrol goes smoothly. No Edo forces were encountered on the first few legs of the patrol, and the countryside has been long deserted before the 25
th arrived. It's obvious why Terralba wants part of Edo for itself for the weather is warm and pleasant, and the squad passes through many prosperous villages and well-tended rice paddies on their assigned route. Only the occasional glimpse of scouts and the deserted houses reveals the fact that things aren't as peaceful as they seem.
Near the end of the patrol the Edo military finally decides to show themselves and contest the invaders moving so boldly through their lands. As the 25
th passes through some unnamed village on their way back to base, the tedium of a quiet patrol is broken by the pinging of the Harbringers' sensors. Soon visual contacted is established, as a group of Qalupaliks rush out of cover. Assaulting mechs returning to base to capitalize on their nearly empty fuel tanks is a tactic that is as old as time itself. Yet the 25
th's patrol route was made short in case such a situation arose, and so your robots still have enough fuel left for a battle. As such you can do nothing else but meet the challenge of the Edo military head-on!
MISSION 1: Needed Experience Everyone's radios crackle with static as the leader of the Edo squad sends an open broadcast.
