Re: Day 1 EA-LA Patrol
"Huh. What do you make of this, Headshot?" Catherine asks. She tries to take pictures for the guys back at home base to analyse.
Comparing her notes with Mary's, she tries to figure out what happened here.
"So ... it looks like a scout vehicle exploded here, some time after the crash, but we do not know why? If it was from weapons fire, there are no traces of a culprit around. None that we found at least."
She sighs over the radio. "Kind of disappointing. This is a possible salvage, but not a really good one."
A raider at heart, she still has to ask. "Even so, do you see anything useful we can take with us, Headshot?"

"not in this part of the plane unless you need some toxic ash." she admitted. "maybe from the other segment? did you see anything worth the time either to carry in hand or in the hands of our mechs there?"Catherine Maia Hayes wrote: ↑Sat Jan 15, 2022 12:52 am"Huh.

"Not really." Catherine replies and explains. "Rations, parachutes, spare ammo and other stuff like that. Whatever vehicle exploded here was probably the only possibly useful salvage."
"Now that we seem to have found our mysterious heat source, shall we resume our patrol? Let one of the salvage teams deal with this mess. That'll give them something to do early on."

There was silence for a moment.
"odd though. you would think that if a plane were shot down someone would be looking for it. either their allies or the people who shot them down." she commented.

"Well, a huge invasion force suddenly appeared and their capitol is under attack. They may be too busy right now. I am sure there are dozens of missing planes they have to deal with now." Catherine radios back and sets her Wolverine on a path back to the patrol route.
"I am afraid nobody will be looking for these guys until long after everything is over."

Re: Day 1 EA-LA Patrol
HQ responds to Mary. "Coordinates confirmed. We'll send someone when we're more secure." It was only their first day after all.
The wind was picking up across the hill top. Apart from that, it was incredibly quiet. There were no birds in sight. They'd likely fled the area after the explosion.

".....not everyone gets a second chance." she said over the radio. "resuming patrol route."

"They looked so young in there." Catherine replies softly over the radio. "Not much older than I am. They might not have even gotten a first chance at that."
She forcefully jerks her thoughts away from that. "L-let's not dwell on that too much and focus back on our mission."
After this experience, the young Sergeant is much more quiet.
I'm really gonna have even worse nightmares after this ...

Re: Day 1 EA-LA Patrol
With the coordinates marked and HQ fully informed, their patrol back to the dropsite could resume. Mary easily guides everyone safely back down the slope.
It'd be a couple of days before the site was salvaged. There was a little armour to strip from the wreckage and a pair of damaged medium lasers. A Swedish crewmember was also able to translate what Cat brought back. Training cadet instructions and information about an airbase to the north. Arnad Air Base. Further searching of the deceased had turned up a images of the southern garrison, where they'd been training. The additional information and salvage for free ever so slightly raised the Angels' capabilities.
(0.1 Strength gained at the end of day 3. Enjoy your thread~)
