Falck takes a deep breath and launches the rocket thrusters. “Time to show these militia what an aerial 7,5 meter high steel ronin can do.”

Militia are fully unaware of the approaching death from the sky. Suddenly a screaming sound from the rocket thrusters can be heard and STRIDER makes an earth shattering appearance in the middle of the outpost.

Falck and Dire Wulf start their assault in the outpost. They quickly manoeuvre enemy infantry and utilise their chainsword to cut militia vehicles and infantry in half.

Falck proceeds towards the command tower to deactivate the radar and defence grid for the outpost. Upon arrival to the main blast door, he exits his robot core and picks up his Carpenter SMG 101.

“Hang in there STRIDER, I’m almost at the top. Take care of any opposition.” Falck replies.

“Atlasssian on site, scanning for hostiles.” A towering militia siege robot core appears on the outpost. These hulking giants are utilised to level city blocks in city fights.

“Reinforcements are here.” Militia grunts rally to fight aside the Atlasssian.

On the ground level the Atlasssian has positioned itself towards Dire Wulf. The siege unit fires the “Crater” cannon at Dire Wulf, that is able to dash from a direct impact, but takes damage from the blast it creates.

Atlasssian is recharging the cannon for a killing strike.
“TAKE THAT ENEMY DOWN” Krueger shouts to Falck to ensure he does not lose his robot core.

Out of the blue Falck appears behind Dire Wulf with a full battery that he swiftly changes in the back of the Robot Core, he then takes a slide below where Dire Wulf reaches out to pick him up and gets him back to the cockpit. 
“Systems fully operational, we are better together.” Dire Wulf reports that they are at full combat efficiency again.

A huge explosion vaporises the torso, as the iridium core explodes inside the seemingly invisible Atlasssian. One robot core stands on the battleground undefeated, the last ronin. As the defence battery has been silenced, the rest of the Wolfpack arrive to finalise the job. Krueger arrives first and opens up the hatch. “You couldn’t wait for us, aye?”

“Command, the second outpost has been cleared. What are your orders.”Kruger sends a situation report to NHS Mannerheim.
“Proceed to Crystal City, seize and control it and wait for backup. We are sending additional Robot Core units to assist you in the assault. We will begin orbital bombardment in 1 hour. Rest while you can and gather ammunition from the outpost. Kruger, secure a line for us, I have some classified matter I need to discuss with you.” Ares reports in the intercom system. Falck is surprised that Ares does not share all the information about the final assault with the whole team.
