B2: Democracy has arrived.
K3: Liberty on site!
B2: They really put me next to you?
K3: Cozy. Or is big ol' Brad afraid of the cooties?
B2: Laugh it up Kelly. The new AF-50 filters out toxic gas. You're feminine wiles won't stop my thirst for Justice!
K3: Nice try. But i've been infecting you ever since Primary Class-B Citizen Education. Your fancy armor won't save you now!
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Attention!
B2, K3: Sir!
Democracy Officer REDACTED: I am glad to see you Helldivers have maintained your morale. Super Earth is thankful to have such welcome enforcers of her will. Collect your rightfully allotted equipment and make for the tunnels.
B2, K3: Sir, yes sir!

K3: Hunter down and dusted. That's the last of that patrol.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Excellent work. Continue to maintain the vanguard K3. B2, report.
B2: Sir, one spear shot and one high explosive grenade expended. I was able to scavenge 4 extra magazines for my rifle, 20 shells for your Halt and an extra belt for Kelly's Variable. My supply packs full and should hold us over until the next hole in the roof. Sir.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Glad to hear it B2. Procced to marker Foxtrot Theta. First squad's last transmitted location.
12:00 - Navi VII Tunnel Opening
K3: Sweet Liberty.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: ...
B2: SES Claw of Audacity. Sir, permission to speak freely?
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Granted.
B2: What is a Martyr Class Battleship doing half buried on a bug world?
K3: And where's the other half?
Democracy Officer REDACTED: That is our mission. To identify why one of Liberty's finest was laid so low.
B2, K3: ...
B2: You say it.
K3: I'm not gonna say it. You say it.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: I know what you're thinking Helldivers. And no, there aren't any termanids capable of this much destruction. Not since the first galactic war. The Ministry of Truth believes there is another factor at play.
B2: Sabotage.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Correct B2.
K3: That's why they sent a Truth Enforcer.
14:21 - SES Claw of Audacity Wreckage
K3: No no no no no no Brad stay with me! I need stims!
B2: Kellyyy
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Take my stim pistol. Pass the HE.
B2: Kellyy
Democracy Officer REDACTED: boom
K3: This is Helldiver Kelly requesting immediate extraction at my location. We are pinned down by subverted guard dogs and sentries. We have wounded in need of urgent democratic attention.
B2: KELLY!
K3: Shut up and let me save your life stupid
B2: You can't. That guard dog put a round right through my skull. The stims only make the pain last longer.
K3: Democracy protects and freedom finds a way.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: Laser Cannon and Shield pack.
K3: Here.
Democracy Officer REDACTED: bshwou
B2: I can feel the wind in my brain Kelly. I don't know how much longer I can hold on.
K3: Don't you dare die on me Bradly!
B2: I'm already dead Kelly.
K3: You
B3: Promise me something Kelly. Promise me you'll take care of my wife. Promisee you'll love her as much as I did.
K3: Brad
B2: Don't lie to a dying man Kelly. I know you've been looking at my Yuki that way ever since that girls trip you both took to Liberty Falls. Just promise me you'll take care of her. Or I'm gonna haunt your butt til the next galactic war.
K3: Stop trying to comfort me. I have to get off this stinking rock first.
B2: Don't worry. I believe in yo...
K3: Brad? Bradly! Hey Brad!
K3: ...
K3: Okay. I promise.
K3: Sir, we've lost Brad.
K3: Sir?
K3: Sir?!
18:00 - Navi VII Subterranean Tunnels
Democracy Officer REDACTED: The Claw of Audacity black box was here. Vile termanid scum.
???: ...
Democracy Officer REDACTED: click. Who goes there? Show yourself coward, that liberty might smite you.
22:00 SES Citizen of War
Ship Master Rodrego: Welcome back Helldiver. Have you solved the mystery of the SES Claw of Audacity's destruction?
Raptor: Yes I have. The ship's black box detailed how the Governor of a small city had requested the ship to evacuate it's citizens before the gloom set in. The ship refused and by the result of some dissident action, the ship's systems turned against its crew. These systems were still subverted when I examined the ships wreckage. Were it not for my trusty Talin and combat knife, I wouldn't have survived the senties and dog guards unsanctioned betrayal.
Ship Master: Yes yes. Did the black box ever detail the dissident who sabotaged the Battleship?
Raptor: No. It was listed as the colony city's Mayor Marshal, but there was little to suggest it was him besides his desire to save as many super citizens as he could.
Ship Master: I see. Where to next Helldiver?
Raptor: Super Earth. This mission has depleted too much of our crew. We must resupply and recruit new blood.
Ship Master: Even though there is still one more friendly IFF tag in this sector.
Raptor: It is most likely a malfunctioning Tesla tower. Ignore it and proceed to super Earth.
