The ships descend onto a flat plain some distance from FOB Delta. Troops are seen building tents and trench lines with the help of various drilling machines. Within hours, the work is complete.

*recon teams head to the area, and roll up in Humvees and SUVs. They step out and walk up to the encampment.* Hey, the hell are you doing here? This is Venom Inc property.
-
An armored trooper pokes his head over the gate. "We're Perthian Remnant forces, acting off preexisting treaties between Outlaw Company and our forces. You guys used to be Outlaw Company, right?"
-
No. We chased them off and stole their stuff.
-
"Ah. That's going to be an issue, but only if you make it one. We'll be here if you need us."
-
You're on our land anyway. The agreement there is null and void with us, but you seem profitable. We can get you back to the base to talk, or we can obliterate you here.
-
"We're not leaving. Too many casualties en route. Some hostile fleet's been chasing us, and this was the last system left in our Nav banks, at least in this sector."
-
Your fights are not our concern. Boss gives strict orders. Either you come with us and negotiate or you'll be killed.
-
Numerous defense systems come online, and several batteries of heavy artillery are pointed toward FOB Delta. "We. Are. Not. Leaving. Now get out, or we open fire."

Edited by Trashcan Jesus: 6/10/2015 5:26:26 PMUm, this is OUR land. Not yours. You're trespassing on a military base, where you have absolutely zero power. Treaties with Outlaw Company do not carry over until new negotiations. All you've got to do is come with us and talk. But if you want to dig your own grave, that's fine too. You think any of that will do any sort of damage? You may kill us, but I guarantee that the boss will take all of you out with a single shell.

"Then let's put our guns down and talk like men. We can't leave this facility. So you have to come to [i]us.[/i]
-
Where?
-
"Here. We'll open the gate."
-
*soldiers enter*
-
The Venom Soldiers are escorted to a table and chairs in the center of the camp. Sitting across from them is an officer in a greatcoat, whose face is concealed by a gas mask. The officer leans forward and pushes a file forward. "Here's what we need, and [i]here-[/i]" (Several boxes filled with credits are placed on the table) "is the lease for the land, and the money to pay for it." The Venom soldiers are escorted out of the camp, and the doors are closed.
-
*I appear in the middle of the camp* So you must really want this land... Sending my men off with money like that. Hate to inform you, but I'm in need of explanation. I don't work for just money.
-
"Look, we're on the run. We landed here because we used to have allies here, but you all kicked us out. The money's what the land cost is when Outlaw was around, but we can get more if you need it."
-
Run from what?
-
"We think they're Impies. Even though we have a treaty with the New Empire, these guys've been chasing us."
-
Imperials eh? Had some try to land on the airstrip, wanted to talk. Don't really remember what happened, but they've not been back. You've got spacecraft, correct?
-
Not any big ones. If they worked, we wouldn't be here.
-
So you immediately came here... You know, I'm really not liking you on my land, regardless of pay.
-
"It's the only peaceful system in the area. We lost 8 ships last time we tried this. This is honestly our last chance."
-
I honestly don't care. You've got a whole system, and you choose to trespass? Come on, pack it up and take your ass off my planet. There's plenty of others.
-
The fleet disperses as quickly as it arrived, and the mobile fortifications are gone as well. Suddenly, a group of smaller craft detach from the larger ships and ram into the area around the firebase, in a seemingly random pattern. The small craft explode, but from one crash site, a large pulse of electromagnetic energy begins to appear.
