Betamax Striketeam Infiltrates Red Guards

Grezkev uploaded his dropsuit selection from the terminal at his locker. He chose his favorite Mass Driver and then double checked his grenades and sidearm choices. A moment later he felt the Mobile Command Center hit its intertia dampeners. He lurched forward slightly and then secured his nanite injector his right hip.

He could hear nervous banter from some of the other members of the Red Guards. Their mercenary corporation had taken heavy losses in the Tartatven campaign. The area was one of the bloodiest most contested regions in New Eden and morale among the mercs was low.



A second later, alarm claxons went off as he and other members of his corp rushed toward the Op Center. What the hell was going on? Was the warbage about to crash? As he dashed around the corner into the War Room he noticed four mercs outfitted in full dropsuit and armed with plasma rifles. They had weapons trained on the tram entrance into the room. "Hey, you aren't supposed to have weapons in here.." He realized the foolishness of his statement an instant before the men opened fire and rounds mercilessly tore into his dropsuit and pounded him against the wall behind him. His body lost all sensation and control as he felt himself sliding to the floor helplessly. As his vision went dark he whispered a desperate warning over the tacnet. "We're compromised....the MCC is breached.."

The past several days has seen the covert operations section of Betamax Corporation activate several 'Sleeper' teams within other corporations and infiltrate them to counter attacks on their territory. Reports are piling in about an attack on a Red Guard outpost that resulted in the massacre of the entire group. Intel suggests that a Betamax deep cover team was able to infiltrate the facility and ambush the Red Guard while they waited to deploy.

Increased comms traffic in the region suggests the Red Guard and their alliance are furious over the lapse in security http://tinyurl.com/kc7q6j6 As always, we'll continue to cover this story and provide more information as it becomes available.
