Chapitre 28: Hell Week, Pt 5

DING!

All the squad leaders' DIs notified them of an incoming message. It was labeled high priority, and was sent directly from base commander Riddell's desk. Some trembled as they opened it.

OBJECTIVE UPDATE:

Primary Objective: Survive Hell Week.

The previous objective, Neutralize Primary Enemy Position, is remanded to a secondary objective, and no longer mandatory for operational success.

The squad leaders breathed a sigh of relief. They felt they could face Hell Week a little easier, without having the pressure of launching any offensives. But Eva shook her head in disagreement.

"This doesn't really change anything," she said. "We still need to get into that hangar, and we still need to know their numbers. Besides, the objective doesn't matter. Not really. No matter how we commit our forces, they've got the numbers to grind us down bit by bit. Our only option is to cripple or neutralize the base to stop any aggressions."
