Corey Here. This is going to be a tough one.

Take care of yourselves, and consider this will be at the top of our usual maturity ratings.

Consider donating where you can - I'll include links in description.

I recommend the Suskillon Defense Force directly, or the Churches of Sarenrae and Hylax have both set up special funds for the recovery and relocation of the people of Suskillon

[Corey stares into the devastation, silently sinks to his knees]


[As the dust cloud rushes towards Midnight squad, insectile shadows can be seen backlit by the burning city, rushing towards the crew]

Radio

schhsszt... All units fall back to Fort Gallant.

This is a full retreat, fall back.

A defensive position will be formed at the Kerozan Bridge.
