They went over the actions of each person in detail. How she took executive action, how the Grizzlies gunner assisted, how the captain took too long, and the subsequent ambushes that injured 2 soldiers.

  "Lieutenant, you did well, and you saved time and lives both with your quick actions. Captain, your response to the initial ambush was lacking, but your responses to the subsequent ambushes showed improvement. We got incalculably lucky today. Learn from this, lady's and gentlemen, and don't rely on luck again." She said.

  "Now, we have arrived in city, and we have our orders. They are: To secure the local mass driver, to set up defenses in, around, and outside the city, and route insurgent forces before the covenant arives." She said.

  "It is the Generals, and my, opinion that the mass driver will be extremely useful for this region's planetary defense. So, Lieutenant Nivka, you are being sent with a detachment from first company, second Battalion, along with a detachment from 4th. Hogs and Grizzlies, as well as your two other mechs. You are to hold the site, along with infantry support, as well as route any hostiles in the area. Understood?"

  "Yes sir!" Nivka said, and saluted.

  "Good, leave and get ready, you leave in 20 for the site. Infantry is already there and set up. That will be all." The Colonel said.

  "She stood up and saluted again before leaving the meeting. When pinged her fireteam, telling them to get ready and load up. Then she rushed to get something quick to eat.

  When that was done, Jameson and Zerra were up and walking in their mechs, and she was quick behind them. 10 minutes later, she was leading a column of hogs and Grizzlies down the road.

  The Mass driver was two miles outside of the city. She was sent with 5 Grizzlies, 10 chain guns, and a singular coil gun with their assigned crew.

  Nivka got that the Driver was important, he'll, she had seen one take out a damaged corvette once. But 5 heavy tanks, 3 walkers, and 11 hogs? The fuck were they expecting?

  She didn't know, but as she held a quick meeting with the senior nco's of her detachment, they were all worried and paranoid.

  Their guns on a swivel, and fingers twitchy, they headed for their objective.
