The Nest

[Lusitano]

25th December 1914 Solar year … the world is facing the darkest time so far, and in the location of all horrors a brief moment of peace. Enemies become friends … family … at least for 1 day only … the world becomes a better place!!

25th December 825 A.S. the brutal invasion of Bretonia on Gran Canaria continues. Two days after the first contact with Eagle Group, Bretonia send reinforcements!! Patrols only by air drops, and slowly they are trying to clean the mine field … that was also expected … so some surprises are waiting! Other surprises is what the patrols are finding every time they enter the valley … air transport drops troops and few moments later … robotic arms with weapons are activated. One thing is to lose men in combat with the enemy, other is to lose then against cheap machines!!

On the base, a scout goes to Red:

- scout – Sir you have to listen to this!! (it was a message sent from a bretonian patrol to the base, it sound quiet normal for the situation except one thing)
- soldier next to Red – So … what is wrong with it? They are calling for help!!

- scout – You don’t hear something wrong?!

- soldier – What?

- Red – This is not bretonian accent!!! This soldier is a libertonian!!

All around are shocked!! Is this a soldier from Liberty, or a libertonian that joined the bretonian armed forces, or … a mercenary!! Did Bretonia recruit mercenaries to their ranks … to invade Gran Canaria?! But this is not the worst news of the day! Jaguar group just launched an last stand warning!! That means that they are surrounded with no way to run!! Jaguar group is the biggest group on the southern hemisphere, with nearly 400 members ... a huge blow on the resistance!!

To avoid detection, Red can’t send long and video messages to the Nest … Red remembers all Christmas there … the decorations … the joy of being together as a family … memories …

25th of December of 825 AS … Gran Canaria … not a Merry Christmas !!
