[1 - combat log, taking place during the mission]
It's a joint Unity Group-SSR operation to take back Aidoneous Island from crystalline Chimaera that took it over. The attack force is split into several teams to make sure the strike is swift and enemy is dealt with swiftly. However there are difficulties... as soon as you reach the island, it turns out its defense systems are still active - and they treat you as hostiles!
And that's just the start of it. In the middle of a fight, Meteor-3 - the artifact meteor still floating above Aidoneous Island, cracks open, revealing its new crystalline form - the Balmarian space probe Septuagint. You can't reach it though, you have your own problems...
As Septuagint releases a group of Vayyikras that attack everything on the island! Fight for your lives - and fortunately, you are not alone!
"You may be strong, but I'm more handsome! Boost Knuckle!"
Irm's Grungust knocks one of the birdlike enemies back, with a group of Adeles moving in to provide support fire.
"Not exactly the foe I expected to fight today..."
The SSR are here, and they're on your side. Adeles (one of them pilotted by the guy above), FDX Team and their Gesterbens, even a few white Gespenst TTs. Today, and hopefully not only today, you fight together - as allies.
"Argh! You assholes are pissing me off! You want to die so badly? Come! I'll send you straight to hell! What the hell was that? Do you even know what a real attack looks like?!"
Oh yeah, and one of your allies is filling up the shared comm frequency with loud cursing and screaming while dodging enemy attacks frantically - and fighting back with a truly ridiculous amount of gunfire. That unit design... isn't that an AHSMB?
(Enemies:
Ghosts and non-descript unmanned autogun turrets, quickly replaced by...
Vayyikra Bens - large but surprisingly fast yet durable miniboss-level enemies. They are armed with optical beam cannons, melee slashers, and gun slaves (bits). Lots and lots of gun slaves.)

The fight is finally over. Septuagint turned into its humanoid form - Zehirut, but it too was destroyed after a fierce battle. SSR members - including Viletta Vadim, Woolf Enneacle, Rand Travis and Amara Barton, were genuinely grateful and happy that they could work at your side, not against it. SSR's Lee Linjun also has words of encouragement to everyone.
"I just received congratulations from a few of our sponsors. The president of Russia, the Prime Minister of Argentina... all of them extend their thanks towards SSR."
"As well as a few representatives of the ESUN membership countries. It looks like they were torn on whether support Unity Group or SSR, and this operation finally shifted the scales. We may expect more funding from now on."
"And it looks like more are to follow, considering our track record."
The track record in question is easy to discover with only a little bit of research. It looks like recently, SSR was on a roll. Not just responding to threats as they appear, but doing their own operations to push various threats back. Balmarians, Zentradi, peacekeeping operations all around the non-ESUN locations of the globe...
"That Linjun guy wasn't lying. Looks like a few countries withdrew their sponsorship very recently."
Is this a sign of things to come?
