Marine: Guys. News report's coming on about Geneva

Salter: I'll hang back. News is BS

Crewmate: Make sure the Captain can see

Reporter: Intense fighting in Geneva has subsided as SATO troops defend the UNSA capital against invading SDF forces

Player: Well. Looks like things finally calmed down in Geneva

Ghost: Sheesh. Took long enough

Soap: Wait. There's something else

Price: What is that?

Reporter: A stratcom spokesman was quoted as saying "our orbital defenses are intact and the fleet is still holding strong, keeping the enemy on the run". For now, the battle rages on outside of earth's perimeter

Roach: (tsking)

Marine: Pfft. What fleet?

Marine: It's propaganda

Marine: Same stuff, different war

Price: Deja vu

Salter: Reyes. Lets keep this on a tight loop and get back out there

(Everyone goes onto the bridge)

Salter: Captain on the bridge

Reyes: You don't have to say that

Salter: I enjoy it

Gator: Captain has the conn

Salter: Ravens docking?

Gator: Touching down now

Salter: Good. Station time one minute

Yetide: Roger that

Gatoe: Your recent ops definitely put a damper in the SDF's plans. Call it payback

Yetide: Griff's been dying to test out all the new gear

Ghost: Oi Reyes, where we aiming this time?

Reyes: I'll show you

(Reyes uses the computer to pull up a map)

Yetide: Telemetry is looking good. No issues to report

Gator: Sir. Admiral Raines has designated a primary target near Saturn. Bridge has decrypted additional SDF fleet intel. New targets of opportunity are now available

(Raines and Reyes establish a comm link)

Raines: In our efforts to buy time for the fleet to rebuild, we need to hit SDF's battle readiness

Reyes: What's the target?

Raines: Saturn's moon, Titan. It's home to a critical SDF fueling station. You'll land a transport outside their patrol perimeter with marines to scout an LZ for reinforcements. Once those troops are on the surface, you'll take out their main fueling tower

Salter: Tower's our aim point

Soap: And primary target

Raines: Affirmative. This strike will keep the enemy on the defensive and away from earth. Captain. I'd be lying if I didn't admit I've got the green eye for this one. I'd gear up and join you if I could. Top cat out

Reyes: Switch is set. Go for drop

Yetide: Collision alarms up

Price: Hold onto something heavy
