After losing my Tri-Cruiser and cargo to local brigands, I recovered my gear from a hacked MULE postbox. Trading my bola gun for lethal firearms, I scaled a tower, cleared hostiles around the observatory, and survived heavy crossfire before finalizing the location clearance for the Western Environmental Observatory.
The loss of my Tri-Cruiser alongside all the cargo I had left behind created an immediate setback. Spotting a MULE postbox in the vicinity, I rushed over in hopes of recovering the stolen inventory
I hacked the lock, revealing all of my missing items inside except for the Tri-Cruiser. I grabbed my weapons from the container, intending to return for the rest of the supplies after neutralizing the surrounding brigands.
Bored of relying on non-lethal bola guns during past encounters, I opted to deploy lethal weaponry to clear the territory once and for all.
I set my sights on the tower bandit who had eliminated me in our previous engagement. Because he remained beyond clean firing distance, I advanced directly toward his position, ignoring the incoming hostile forces gathering below.
I climbed the ladder to the top of the tower and executed the bandit at point-blank range with lethal fire. Taking advantage of the high ground, I opened fire on the remaining brigands scattered across the lower level.
Heavy incoming rounds soon began pinging off the tower as additional enemies fired from the nearby observatory.
I ducked behind cover to return fire until an enemy hurled an electrified rod onto the platform. Attempting to reload my shotgun, I discovered my ammunition was completely spent.
In my haste to climb down and retreat, I lost balance and fell from the tower platform to the ground below.
Scrambling to real cover, I checked my loadout, found my assault rifle empty, and equipped my heavy machine gun to turn the tide against the advancing hostile squad.
When one brave enemy charged my cover, I stepped out and cut him down with a heavy burst.
Taking a brief pause in the firefight, I attached a fresh blood bag and had Sam drink water to recover from his injuries.
With at least three enemies still dug in at the observatory firing lethal rounds, I tried long-range suppression fire, took some of them down from a distance.
The final remaining enemy attempted to rush my position, but I dropped him as soon as he closed the gap.
With all vagrants neutralized across the sector, I prepared to report to the Western Environmental Observatory.
