CSN: In summary, your team opens a door, finds two enemies who take out a couple of your teammates. You kill both, and your team splits in half, with one half going to support Astro's team and one or so staying behind to treat the wounded. The half that moves onwards sees two more enemies, kills one, and nearly gets another as they dash for cover.
That cover it?

Still salty that you sunk the RAS Fuckslayer I and killed a contingent of soldiers that could've helped because they had a helicopter and were in RANGE OF DG...

Operation: Cindering SnowAug 8th 2016
12:32 AM
We won't beat around the bush, this is bad, prepare for a hell of a trip Atlas.
At 10 Pm August 6th in Donner Land a small sleepy Town of the name "Vedtosfehg" in the middle of the Country 350 kilometers west of Bögt, the Capital, had their Police alerted to a possible Terror Attack in progress. A medium sized Explosive was set off in the middle of the Town, however no one was hurt in the blast, in fact by that hour of the night most people were in their homes. Not exactly the most prime time to light your fireworks In hopes of killing someone. Local authorities at the time arrived and investigated, no real destruction besides some broken pavement and no lives lost, it was labeled a failed attack.
At 8:23 AM August 7th, things changed, a large amount of people were found dead in their sleep, the first reports of such a thing coming at 4:51 Am, an "alarming" 5 Thousand died in one night and many more have gone into critical condition. The Number has rapidly grown since then, and threatens to wipe the town off the Map at now only aproximately 4 Thousand Residents. Unsurprisingly, Biological or Chemical Weapons were suspected to have been used
At 9:40 AM Emergency Military Forces Quarantined the small Town preventing people from entering and exiting the area permitting only small Patrols to enter for investigation purposes. The Town, before looking like a pretty great place to retire, now looks totally abandoned of all life with body bags lining the streets, especially in front of Health Buildings such as the Hospital in the East Side.
At 5 PM August 7th Patrols began to not come back or even check in from their Radios and bodies began to be found of the Patrols discarded into hiding spots such as the sewage system or simply tossed in garbage. Slowly as the day went on, many of the tons of M.I.A Soldiers were confirmed to be K.I.A
At 10:22 PM August 7th, Patrols were no longer allowed within the Town for fear of losing more Troops. No other assets could be deployed to assist in the efforts of investigating the mess, and everything was put to a stand still immediately as Donnish Forces kept their Quarantine around the Town. Command, Politicians and the People not satisfied in the situation at hand began to protest vocally to figure out what was going on and kill those who had begun the Attack. Out of options, the D.I.A chose to bring in ouside help, Atlas.
Since these events, not much if anything has happened. The Town has kept quiet since the Countries call of help and we don't know any more than this concerning the situation within the Town. Here's what we do know.
- It is confirmed to be a Biological Weapon that has been used. Donnish Intelligence has identified it as a modified strain of Anthrax deployed via explosive with the goal of spreading it across the Town, not killing with the explosion itself.
- Some Patrols are yet to be found and may be still alive. Most bodies have been recovered of the Deceased Soldiers. It is recommended to report any bodies or alive Patrols immediately.
-It is unknown whom is killing them. But it is a Terrorist Organization, either the Donnish Communist Liberation Front, or the Donnish Emperors Legion; a Monarchist Terror Group.
-The Town has become very desolate, any Civilian contact will be rare. In the case that there is contact, keep your distance.
-Utilities have been cut for the entire Town.
-Any armed Individuals may be Donnish Civilians that have nothing to do with the situation at hand. Watch your fire.
-The Biological Threat may still be active in some places. It's recommended that you dress apropriately to avoid infection.
Weather is also going to be noteworthy. When you all get there, a large possibly white out Blizzard will be arriving shortly and will linger over the town for a unknown amount of time before clearing out again. Expect temperatures as low as -45 Degrees Fahrenheit during the day and aproximately -50 Degrees Fahrenheit during the night. Wind will be harsh, going 80 MPH northward and slamming into the Town at full force. It's advised that you find a place to stay indoors during the night and sleep if need be, else Miss Frostbite may find you.
Also, as a final note before you receive your objectives and further reasoning for being here; you will receive a single Type-D Hunter Killer Robotic Intelligence Unit Prototypd for support in the Mission. They said treat it like it's the family dog, but it's mostly just a Quadrepedal Killer Robot.
Now, because the Donnish Imperial Army can't spare any more assets, and don't want anymore of their personell to be killed in investigating what happened and who is killing the Patrols they've called Atlas to come in to do it for them and help them out. To do this, Atlas has been tasked with baby sitting a Lieutenant or "Eluenst" by the name of 'Eluenst Freherehg' who is a specialist in the field of Biological Terrorism.
Freherehg is tasked with going to the Ground Zero and finding fragments and evidence from the explosion that spread the Anthrax with the goal of finding how they created it and who could have created it and take samples.
The trip it's self will be easy, and it'll be a tad long. There is a 3 Km radius around the Town where a majority is sparse Woodland and Tundra. You'll be going down the road in a small Convoy into the town straight into it. Ambushes or otherwise is not to be expected, the D.I.A believes it is a small group to be acting within the area and is unlikely to be heavily armed, but you should always be on alert. You'll be given the time to equip yourselves at the Quarantine Check Point on the road before entering the Town.
Once inside, complete your objectives, get out. Simple enough.
Primary Objectives
-Escort Eluenst Freherehg to Ground Zero of the Explosion in the center of Town.
-Find out who killed the Patrols and who organized and carried out the attack, and terminate them. They're still in the Town.
Secondary Objectives
-Find any Patrols that are alive and assist.
