Helldivers 2 - Matar Bay: Andromeda Sector (Automaton Defensive) - Major Order 15
While the fighting on Vernen Wells continued, Command sent a "request" for a number of Helldivers to immediately investigate coordinates sent to us. When we arrived to said coordinates, we found ourselves at Matar Bay in the Andromeda Sector. There was no outbound signals coming from the planet. A shuttle was sent ahead of our fleet as we made a slow approach to the planet. We could hear the shuttle on its course into the atmosphere. "Shuttle-5, breaking the clouds now, visuals coming onli-, Jesus Chr!--brrbrrzzz". All Super Destroyers burst into action as the radio cut off. Pods after pods dived upon the planet, expecting the worst down below. It was only after the pods broke the clouds that we saw the extent of the damage below. The fight was already lost. Anti-air turrets and cannons were raining upwards into the area, hitting pods straight out of the sky. The once quiet planet was awoken in a burst of gun fire and laser blasts. Before we could dive, we received a second radio transmission from... civilians? They were held up in a launch station that went under the radio by not activating the generators. Unfortunately they had now given away their position by reaching out. It had become a race. My unit took charge in the evacuation of these citizens while the rest of the Helldivers engaged the Automatons in open skirmishes. We had as long as the rest of the troops could hold out. NEW MAJOR ORDERS/BRIEFINGS The Automatons have revealed their true force: a massive invasion fleet sweeping through our territory. Defences are scrambling. Slow its advance as much as possible. -Succeed in the Defence of at least 5 planets.
