326 NICO!

As two-thirds of the First Battalion started running their way, Second Battalion was digging in for a hard fight. Their target had a full Company of Mecha or more still with them, and they had dug defensive positions to avoid being easily overrun.

But Nico and a strike team of Light Mecha were already inside, with the Light Mecha going for Engineering to cut the main power, while Nico was supposed to take the bridge.

They heard the message back from the Rebels and a few of the veterans began to laugh.

[What's so funny? Doesn't that mean the hardest fight we had planned for?] One of the Recruits asked.

[One thing you need to understand about Rage. She has never not wanted a good fight. We might be in for a hard fight out here, but they're in for an even worse one inside the ship.] Colonel Lucci laughed at the youngster's concern.
