The Lotus Division

What happened before

I, Sargeant Raccoon of the Lotus division, Helldiver, am not new to this fight. I fought the bugs and the bolt heads before. In fact I was deployed to Malevelon Creek before it fell.

It is shortly after the fall of the Creek that I was called back to Superearth. I was tasked with administrative and logistical duties. I even made a stand in the senate, hoping to get our divers more backup, better equipment and more efficient infrastructure.

The senate hesitated to mobilize the reserves. When it came to equipment we, divers, had some success. The major order shifted to liberating Tien Kwan. This would introduce the big guns to the war theater again. Tien Kwan contained factories and storage facilities of EXO-45 Patriot exosuits. This has given us an advantage. Besides that the research and testing officials have regularly been sending us new toys.

Infrastructure? Yes. The logistics and communications department cranked up their game. It's easier for Helldivers to do their jobs now. To get briefed and to send out information.

Right now? I have been sent back to the front. Where I belong. Amongst my brothers of the Lotus division. We were deployed to the Umlaut sector. Our objective is to help start up the TCS. This way the bugs won't get any closer to Superearth than they already have.

We first went to Erata Prime. Regrettably we had to retreat. The seismic activity on that planet caused damage to a TCS tower rendering it impossible for us to activate it.

While we devised a new strategy and planned out our following moves, fellow divers activated the TCS on both Fenrir III and Turing. The bugs won't be seen on those planets any time soon.

Today we went down to Meridia and activated a TCS tower on the surface there. In the meantime a support group split off to go help the new divers defend Heeth. Both missions were successful and were prime examples of the most honorable patriotism in the galaxy.

Tomorrow is another day. Another day to fight the enemies of democracy. Tomorrow we will all write home happily telling the stories of a free Heeth and a protective barrier in the Umlaut section. I salute to that, my fellow divers.

Yet we must not forget about the bolt heads. We are losing ground to the Automatons as we speak. To any division that is available: go to the planet Draupnir. Show no mercy. End those bolt heads. Soak the soil with blood and oil before they reach our homes.

I thank you all for your service. I am proud to serve among the most democratic soldiers of the galaxy.

For freedom. For managed democracy. For Superearth.
