I was the sacrifice player earlier, we had no reinforcements left, and we were about 2 mins away from losing our stratagems. We had lost 2 reinforcements trying to complete our mission, so it was myself and one squad member, I was much closer to where our pickup would be, I ran to the location threw down resupply, turrets and supportive weapons for them before we lost contact, and I set my eyes on completing the mission that was across the map with nothing but moderated democracy and determination to guide me, knowing I would not see a return to Super Earth. My other squad member was able to call down one last reinforcement that came before all contact and stratagems were lost. With very little ammo to my name, I trekked across the dark sanded wasteland avoiding every patrol of terminids. Suddenly I saw the tower, surrounded by bugs of all kinds and a charger, I knew there was only one option- to sneak my way up to activate the terminal. While I was doing this my 2 brothers in arms were fighting for their lives, freedom, and democracy waiting for the ship. And fought like Helldivers they did while I fought my own more quiet, yet nonetheless intense battle. I crouched and crawled my way into the radio tower with bugs around every corner, a chargers, and too many other lesser, but no less deadly enemies to count. At one point a small terminid was in my path of cover, I had no choice but than to quickly and quietly melee it and hope that no other would notice it. At this point the ship had about landed at the pickup, but not without one more causality of my brothers, and so my final brother waited with baited breath to see if I could complete the mission. As I proceed closer to the terminal I crawled past the two bodies of my slaughter brothers, thanking them silently in my head for getting this mission as far as they did, and I last I hit the terminal and watch the percentage go up, but only as the time remaining before ticked down.... Would the mission be able to be completed before my remain brother had to evac and fail democracy? 17% done. 30 seconds. 38% done. 24 seconds. 59% done. 16 seconds. 97%done. 7 seconds. 100% Completed. 5 seconds left. BINGO, the mission was completed, and not a second too soon! My brother went into the ship, to return the news of the successful mission for moderated democracy and Super Earth! It was an honor, being left behind in sake of the mission and while my name my never be heard, and my action my never be known by any others except my squad, I had done what it right for Super Earth, Freedom, Liberty, and Moderated Democracy and nothing is more rewarding! -Crewmember of the SES Wings of Perseverance
