Both my opponent and I forgot to take more pictures as it turned into an intense game for our Spec Ops League that is finishing up.

Apologies, I will be sure to take more pictures next time as they really improve the quality of the report. For now bear with me while I do my best with some cropping and editing of the two photos we did take.

Commander Va’zoik's Obthra Infiltration Group File Revealed.

High Ambassador Va’zoik excused himself from the boardroom feigning the need to use the bathroom. Apologizing profusely for the inconvenience this caused he stepped out of the room. He quickly walked along the hallway as the other Ambassadors and ranking officials watched through the glass walls of the boardroom. He rounded the corner and from sight as he stepped into a utility closet.

The men and women of the Paradiso Consultium meetings looked to one another in disbelief at how High Ambassador Va’zoik had just left the conference. Never had they seen an official leave for something as rudimentary as needing a bathroom, especially from such an important conference. They were each pulled from their disbelief to be filled with a greater concern. None wanted to admit it, but each had felt it. Something had just scanned their mind and bodies, something had struck every nerve, every sensor in their being, something had just been taken, it was subtle, like a whisper of a breeze but it had happened and all of them knew it.

Va’zoik darting down the hallway towards the emergency exit at the end of the hall, a slight smile curled up from the corners of his mouth. His new physique felt fantastic, much better than the weak High Ambassador form he had held for far too long. His patience had paid off and now his new form was pulsing with anticipation as he followed his path to the rendezvous point, soon he would meet with Vlash and the rest of the Obthra infiltration group. The Human Sphere wasn’t ready and the Obthra group of the Shasvastii Expeditionary Force would exploit that weakness

Va'zoik had taken up position on the eastern flank of the board with his small Haris of Nox. However, the sounds of a raining bombardments from the Core Fireteam of Muyibs. He could only hope that the Q-drone and his slave drone would survive to hold back the Haqquislam defensive forces that 0-12 had contracted out to secure the Industrial Port of the Main Spaceport.

He also received reports that Haqqislam forces were converging on his speculo killers forward position, but that her cover had held thus far.

Va'zoik couldn't wait for reports, the time was now to sieze the initiative back. His thoughts were interupted as two grenades fell next time him. The dust settled and he could see that his hacker, Binart, "Whisperer" was down.

Va'zoik rushed to Binart's aid. While Va'zoik repaired his eastern flank, he commanded Zypheris, "ShadowCipher", his Malignos Hacker to advance.

Zypheris revealed her position as she charged forward to take cover under the balcony of a large storage facility. Haqquislam forces had taken the north stairs and had taken up positions along the balcony. This position gave Zypheris cover while she manouvered to set up her Trinity Porgram to fry the Haqqislams Spec Ops brain. She perfectly controlled the damage leaving the Spec Ops unconsciouse, allowing her to then Data Scan the corpse in hopes of determining the weaknesses in the defences.

The Muyibs picked up their advance and forward observed the first of the Shasvastii HVTs. Shadow Cipher took this opportunity to drop a Dazer under the balcony to slow their advance considerably.

On the Northeastern flank, the previously positioned forces dropped the the Speculo Killers facad and downed her with incredible efficiency. The team of Doctors then proceeded to race to the western flank in order to bring back the Spec Ops. Once this was accomplished they advanced forward and caused Shadow Cipher to drop unconsciouse. However as they advanced deeper into the Shasvastii Lines the Sphinx burst forth a jet of flame engulfing the entire team as well as the leader of the Muyib team. The Muyib leader was burnt into a husk along with one of the Asawira, while the second Asawira was dropped unconscious. However the attacking Asawira managed to caused 2 damage to the Sphinx. A worthy trade!

With the conclusion both the Asawira and ShadowCipher regenerated their wounds.

Va'zoik with an opening on the eastern flank immediately called the Cadmus down behind the few remaining guards on the eastern flank. The chest mines made short work of the Secdet and Remote standing guard. Va'zoik then advanced with his newely formed Haris, his slace drone was down afterall. They advanced well up the right flank and his Plasma rifle proved too much for the one defending camoflaged trooper who was now the only remaining defender. The eastern flank had fallen.

With victory all but secured the Haqqislam remnants gathered for a final push. The Boqtar surged forward through the remaining speculo killers shotgun fire, leaping onto the ledge where the Q-drones husk still stood. Thus securing another Classified objective. This daring push left the forces at a standstill withh 3 classifieds each. The intent to gather intel was becoming a standstill. Va'zoik therefore knew he needed one final push with him limited forced to secure an HVT for his own side. Va'zoik led his haris team up the eastern flank and innoculated an HVT securing a minor lead in his intel operations.
