The Sayama Volunteer Forces cause a commotion in the wilderness. The Second deploys, and then turns off their transponders and slips away.
Arshigunian Manor sits in a steep mountain valley beside a pond. The pass to the house is narrow, the ridge lined with Czech hedgehogs. The road passes through a small security checkpoint consisting of chain-link fences and a small hut with a boom.
Max and Axel creep up the western ridge and shoot the mansion’s comms tower down. They carefully crest the ridge and start down toward one of the patches of manicured woods.
Cosmo takes a run at the checkpoint and wades through it. He is immediately in the center of the main enemy formation: a Commando, a Javelin, and two Merlins. Nathaniel runs up to support him, and Joanna begins to cover his left flank.
A Valkyrie and a Goblin tank break from cover and move to outflank Max and Axel on the left wing.
At the epicenter of enemy fire, the other members of the Second scatter. Cosmo reverses through the checkpoint, flattening it for good. Nathaniel rushes ahead to begin attacking the mansion, and Joanna clambers over the Czech hedgehogs toward the valley floor.
In the building, Stephan Arshigunian is putting months of correspondence through a paper shredder. His personal Warrior H-7 helicopter begins spinning up.
