Lilly's team had just been barely holding on when Hunt's group arrived. With the new reinforcements, though, they finally had the strength to press forward. [b]"COVERING FIRE!"[/b] Lilly yelled, motioning the group forward when the Imperials were suppressed. With many more guns on their side, they were able to keep the remaining imperials in cover and quickly clear the last two rooms of the hall.

When they reached the base of the stairs, the Imperials at the top began firing down and rolling the occasional grenade towards them, forcing them back into cover and stalling their advance. This was starting to play out like the coach house all over again, though this time the Imperials showed no indication of wanting to surrender. Through a window, Lilly spotted some unknown Gallians in the alley just outside the house and quickly waved for them to come in, gesturing towards one of the rooms they had already cleared which had a window they could climb through. When the assault force was at full strength, Lilly addressed them about the plan attack. [b]"Mr. Hunt, do you have any ideas how to get up the stairs? We have enough people here, I think... We could probably use grenades to clear the top landing, and then rush in, right? Shocktroopers in front, everyone else will follow them. Is that acceptable to everyone? Ah, ok..."[/b] Another artillery shell landed nearby, causing Lilly to duck and cover her ears involuntarily. Once the ringing in them subsided, she nodded. [b]"Ah... is everyone ready then? Scouts, use your grenades. Throw them.... Now! Everyone up the stairs! Go, Go, Go!"[/b]
