“This is Central, Strike 1-4 have arrived at the AO. Eliminate all hostiles and secure the area.”, rehearsed Bradford. The Skyranger was docked, and the squad slowly made their way out of the craft, wary of danger. There was a thick must in the air, and a chilling hum.

In front of them was an crashed ambulance and a police car, a wrecked helicopter, crashed into a fountain, and a strange glowing pod. “That ain’t a weather satellite.” remarked Bradford. Surrounding the pod were bodies, covered in a sickly lime green goo.

Tip - General Movement: “Moving from one location to another requires Time Units. There are two different movement variations. Team and Unit.

Team movement works on a general vote/consensus from the entire team.

Unit movement works by moving to a location as an individual unit. It can also provide cover.

Team - Move Westward to approach the Building (-1 Time Unit)

Unit - Move to Garbage Can (-1 Time Unit)

  • Bob - Long

You can rush to be adjacent to an enemy for melee, but it will take variable time units:

The eerie silence was interrupted by a cry for help.

“Hilfe…”, whimpered one of the recon team.

“What was that?”, said Bradford.

“Hilfe…”, he whimpered once more.

“He is saying ‘Help Me’, and judging by the signal’s strength it’s coming from a nearby building.”, said Doctor Vahlen.

“Doctor Vahlen, can you communicate with him?”, said Bradford.

“I will try. Hallo?Können sie mich hören?Wir sind hier um ihnen zu helfen.”, said Doctor Vahlen.
