Platoon commander was Captain Jirai Korama.
At 0300, 23.9.100 the lab's maintenance airlock was breached and the team infiltrated the facility. The initial section - comprising 3 primary compartment, and the associated corridors and secondary compartments - was cleared without enemy contact.
On entering the active area of the facility, a modified blast door sealed the route of ingress for the platoon. Captain Korama instructed the platoon to take up defensive positions.
Remote scouting of the next several compartments revealed heavy, prepared defensive positions. Opposition numbers estimated at company strength with heavy powered armor and crew-serviced anti-personnel weapons.
The Captain elected to hold position and attempt to contact control for reinforcements. Contact could not be established. During the delay, the opposing forces vented the section's atmosphere.
Their heavier equipment allowed them to operate in an unpressurized environment nearly indefinitely. The lighter suits of Captain Korama's platoon lacked oxygen reserves/air reprocessing capabilities for sustained operation in that environment.
The Captain gave orders to remain in a defensive posture and continue attempting to establish contact with control.
Save draft, end recording.
