"Raven by any other name"

Spaceport

NARRATOR POV

Ayre:Raven. Xylem defences systems were still online after all this time...and stranger still the PCA personally intervened to block the survey

Raven was almost back to the cargo train he snd the others used as a base.

Raven:that doesn't matter. Walter said to look and we did

Ayre:you know there's more to Xylem and to Walters "friend"

He didn't want to be but he was curious. But no he was still Walters Dog and he would do what he was told. He arrived back the main doors opening and his AC docking. Iris was waiting with Walter on the catwalk. The AC pilot doors opened and Raven stepped out.

Walter:any problems?

Raven:none

He jumped down.

Iris:how's my girl?

Raven:the AC is fine aswell. No major damage

Walter:good. I'll send you your cut. Although you have a message. From Carla

Ayre:what could she want?

She was floating around next to Walter. Raven did tell her to stop doing this because it was distracting.

Raven:I'll have a look

Walter:if it's a job take it. No reason not too

He walked away.

Iris:so no episodes?

Raven:I'm fine Iris

She still worried. She looked up at him with a small smile.

Iris:okay...well I think you should get some rest

Raven:but Carla-

Iris:no one cares about Carla. You just got back

Raven:I'll make more money

Iris:nevermind as long as your feeling fine

Her mood changed drastically. He forgets she's like a greedy little goblin sometimes.

(Alright ao I'm skipping the Cinder and retake the wall missions and going right for the PCA mission with Rusty! This is gonna take fucking ages if I do it mission to mission so imma stick to main missions and the ones I find the most fun)

RAVEN POV

It's been a week since Xylem. I've been working for the Corps and Carla trying to push the PCA out of Rubicon. But that Suppression Fleet means business and it won't go down without a fight. And my condition hasn't got any worse, as long as I keep taking the meds I can last a little longer. Ayre checks my vitals more than Iris. I hate that they worry but...I ain't giving them much of a choice. I was sitting in front of the terminal on the catwalk. Rusty called.

Rusty:hey there buddy. Got a request from the Arquebes Group, here's the briefing from my CO who came up with the plan

It's gonna be Snail isn't it?

Snail:this is V.II Snail-

Called it.

Snail:you shall be under my direct authority. Consider it a rare privilege

Arrogant piece of shit.

Snail:we will conduct simultaneous surprise raids on two Plant Closure Administration bases. One is the Harlov Communications base, the relay for comms between enemy sqauds. The second is the Bertrum Spaceport siezed by the PCA for their Suppression Fleet. V.IV Rusty will be dispatched to the Harlov Base. His mission will be to disable their network and stop any support from elite sqauds. Raven during this time you mist destroy all the heavy war ships birthed at the spaceport
