When the call to help Alpha came through it was unexpected that they would be calling, at the time of the call the battle really had only just begun. Alpha company was radioing for help, assistance rather due to a quick encirclement of enemy forces. It was unlikely that they would survive on their own, since they had just been encircled oddly enough. Regardless, the call was made to split forces. After Rose had fixed up the last soldier she was working on - a man who had cut up his legs badly from 'planet fall'. Rose spoke to the Fed soldiers with her.

[i]"We're going to split up, half to Echo other half with me to Alpha."[/i] The soldiers seemed to be in agreement, more so the ones that were heading to Echo. The ones with Rose agreed, they weren't going to run from it but going to Alpha seemed to be a lost cause but their voices of disagreement were swiftly cut off. There wasen't time to argue or have a debate about it, if Alpha was salvable they were be saved because in the end Alpha surviving benefitied the mission. Their mission with Easy.

After leaving their plight in the skirmish fields, the ravaged world just seemed to devolve into a mess of gore and mud. Trees blown to ashed stumps and the land scape seemd to be terraformed by artillery shells and orbital strikes. There were alot dead, alot injured but Rose didn't stop for it. If Alpha were to have a chance they would need to be given a chance to break through, when Rose and her team did make it. It seemed progress to break the encirclement was slow, that was about to change.
