>>6087711(3/3) The colony's exterior was essentially a wasteland. Isolated sectors kept their power on through existing redundancies or desperate creativity. It didn't solve the problem of being exposed to void. The population was on lockdown, sealed inside hab units. Even the peace keeper and AKSG forces entered into an uneasy armistice, hunkering down where they were. Combat was mostly reduced to vehicular patrols with troops that were able to scrounge enough void hardened equipment to make brief forays outside the relative shelter of their vehicles. PeaceKeepers had used the lull to mobilize their EM tanks, the crew was made of a commander, gunner, and scout disguised in a crude approximation of AKSG fatigues. Allegedly it confused the drones. AKSG reports leant towards subjective on that matter.

Mission update:
With HG's capture of the Casaba Howitzer, and Dill's shut down on the Ion shields, AKSG could make contact with their more risk adverse long range mission partners to begin phase two of Operation: Kowloon Express. The Central comm tower was taken out by an independent operative, preventing any communication off colony by the locals. Because of Angel Team the colony was infested with a slow acting bioform, which would yield fruit during terminal phases and ongoing population suppression and containment.
Presently the colony engines and central AI were not yet under corporate control.

It worked for running quickly through deatmo'd locations, stopping eye bleeds and ruptured eardrums, but it wasn't much. Still, a subtle trickle of newly spiked recruits were flowing in.
