Except perhaps for the small encounters with the invaders that some of them had, nothing was out of order. However, not all squads seemed to share the same fate as was the case of Afterglow and their lost Gunner, right at the beginning of the mission. In fact, this occurrence would likely get evident for Celica’s teammates, when the lack of a proper scout or team formation resulted in three invaders creeping into Fiore and Tian-Gui from a set of nearby ruins. Thanks to Fiore’s drone, the duo would have a few moments of advance to react. What they would do next is entirely up to them. Meanwhile, Yui’s Gang would find an unexpected sight of a whole different category as they advanced on their mission. As they approached some wetlands that likely formed when rainwater caused the ground to crumble, they would find a few seriously damaged, [url=https://danbooru.donmai.us/posts/2606395]abandoned mobile suits[/url]. Each of the once impressive machines looked like it dated at least several years ago, possibly even as far back as the tie of the Second Genesis itself. While the rotting pieces of metal didn’t seem to represent anything special or hold anything of value, at first sight, the wetlands were a whole other case. Traversing them was the shortest route to the sensor they sought, but was it worth it? Only the trainees could decide whether or not it was useful to do so, lose time to go around or search for another sensor. [hr]
