Name: Crimson Ace
Global Contact: @Requiem Morte
Reporting on Assignment: Protector, Indepence Port Docks, near Hospital
Level of Alien Threat: [HIGH]
Report Details: While working the docks i happened upon a group of Rikti. From my vantage point I count at least 3 dozen, they kept coming through a portal. I tried my radio to call in some back, something seemed to be disrupting my signal. Quietly i moved down from the rooftop, i was perched upon, to the water directly beneath the portal and the growing army of rikti. I began planting explosives at the base of the dock. Again I tried my radio, again it failed. slowly and silently I made my way back up to my perch, I set aside my bow and picked up my LRM launcher, taking a steady aim upon the Comm Officer in charge of the portal I slowly squeazed the trigger. As the rocket rockets towards its target I was already in motion, grabbing my bow, reaching for a handful of arrows from my quiver i dove from the rooftop to the wall below me pulling the arrows back upon my bow as I fell. Just as i heard the impact of the rocket I unleashed my rain of arrows already pulling back another fistful as the first salvo struck the diving rikti, I flick the switch to the mines I had set as I reached for an arrow strapped with dynamite, my arrow explodes just as the mines explode. I reached into my quiver the enemy still trying to figure out what is going on 2 Lt's have already spotted me, I began alternating between targets as they approached my location, the left one fell to a well placed aimed shot while the second took a few more quick snap shots to fell. at that point it really began to get difficult, while only 6 or 7 remained they were big, and I was dangerously low on arrows at this point. a boost of adrenaline rushing through my arms afforded me the power to pull my bow back a thousand times in a heartbeat it seemed. Powerful arms grabbed me from behind I wished I could fight these arms but i was completely drained of endurance, and i was still clutching the last arrow from my quiver. Before I fell against the wall the arms had sat me down upon, I could see the team of heroes that had come to my aid.
Analysis of Current Situation: It was a very trying event I very nearly would not have survived had my explosives not alerted a nearby team of rookie heroes to come to my aid. Should these raiding parties become any more frequently the docks of IP will no longer be safe for even the most grizzled veteran among our ranks.
Suggestion of Action: an update of the radio systems and less units soloing in Rikti hot zones
