Last night, we lost the LZ to a patrol of Thrax Soldiers. We fought most of the day and into the night, before being ordered to abandon post and re-group at the Lower Eloh Creek encampment. No civillians were to be evacuated, but I had my own plans. I'd seen too much bloodshed already.

There was an old supply tunnel from when construction first began on the Landing Zone outpost. I got as many people out as I could. When I went back for more, the outpost was overrun. Bots were repairing the shield wall, as Bane soldiers sifted through corpses for supplies. Everyone was slaughtered. I've never felt so much disgust, so much hate, ever before in my life.

I set two demolition charges on the supply tunnel walls, took aim and fired one shot to get their attention. Once I could see the yellow glow of their eyes, I triggered the charges. The tunnel must have collapsed behind me. I woke up today being dragged out of the tunnel by an AFS scout unit. They say I'm being promoted to Grenadier, but it's all the same. Every day I get up and fight.
