Nole stumbled over to Private Johnson and hauled him to his feet, then snatched a comms relay from the bulky backpack that contained all the needed equipment. Plugging it into an access port on his armours side, he patched a channel through to command.

Command, this is Nole! We just saw the Haida go down, or something that looked incredibly similar! If transport is supplied, we can be on its location within the hour. Please advice on course of action! There was the ever present static for a moment before there was a pop and the static cleared.

We read you Captain. Negative on locating the Haida. You are to return to the Pile Core immediately for briefing. Nole shook his head in disbelief. In the unlikely event any survivors had ejected after the atmospheric entry it would be essential that they were recovered immediately. Late ejections of the kind had been heard of in the past, but not without the ejectee suffering varying degrees of injury.

Resignedly Nole disconnected the relay and flicked over to a section wide comm setting. On your feet. Were falling back to the Core. A Section, you're on point. Move out! The unit then resumed its steady pace back home, the Recon suit taking up the role of a vanguard sentinel to keep watch over the units flanks.
