==2026-04-12 - Dancing With Outlanders==

+

The first approach revealed 2 outlanders, a surly Massetin and a highly suspicious but inviting Reptiloid.  Tensions rose as the Owsla Irregulars insisted on Chevobrog re-occupying the guard station the outlanders want to keep for sake of generally improved visibility on "monsters".  The Massetin was impressed by the logic proffered by the team, but replied that they weren't sufficient to allow such a transaction - so went to make the case to their superiors.

+

A couple outworlders - previously spotted in flagrante delicto in the nearby bunker - wandered by.  One tactly non-agressive large Zygroten, the other gregarious and friendly small Groten, they proceeded into the guard station.

+

Eventually, a squad of outworlder goons were dispatched to "escourt" the Chevobrog forces away from the vicinity of the claimed guard station.  These goons were very well equipped, though somewhat inconsistently, and clearly professional in their capabilities.  It was a good fight, but the goons were not up to dealing with the Owsla Irregulars backed up with 2 squads of Jacks.

==2026-04-17 - Divert To Repel Rothu==

+

Tension was high after the brutal encounter with the outworlder goons, with the other outworlders locked up inside the guard station.  The non-aggressive Groten and Zygroten couple step out (the station door snaps shut after them) and they get permission to leave peacefully.  Then the Owsla Irregulars warn the remaining Reptiloid outworlder to surrender and let them in.  The negotiation is augmented by one of the doors being smashed in by the hurled corpses of the outworlder goons.  The technician, named GRIIBO, negotiated not just his ability to leave but also Heltu-ensured future non-aggression.  He did this by re-configuring his proffesionally set up security upgrades in the guard station (including intermediate scale electric streams and shields), and by giving Pramorg his personal tool pack.

+

While recovering in the reclaimed guard station, another pair approached from the directions of the Outworlders section.  One was a familiar figure - the grizzled Massetin.  The other was a serpentine being with a bowl helmet.  They approached openly and warily.  The Aqualoid informed the team that he was something of a "goon union steward", and worked to help make life on this weird ship prison less awful for more people.  And mentioned that the gear the team had claimed would potentially mark them for future excitement.  The advanced symbiotic weapons would likely be sought for reclamation by Gripper Of Things (the nominal evil overlord with the fold space), and the mil spec helmets were very clearly meant for people aligned with the "Underboss", a violent leader of violently-inclined folks, and he tended to operate on an "eye for an eye" basis.

+

Before this fresh batch worldbuilding could be digested, the team was called by Clan Chevobrog to help repel what they thought was an imminent assault by Clan Rothu.  They rushed over - keeping well clear of the "monster doors" - just in time to see squads take a foothold in Chevobrog territory.

+

==2026-04-26 - Unworthy Adversaries==

+

The Rothu assault teams deployed a sound tactical advance, avoiding bunching up to be exposed to AoE weapons, minimized exposures to sight lines, and with a sniper team backing up the advance.

+

It was all for naught.  The Owsla Irregulars out-maneouvered the Rothu at every turn, and devastated them systematically with superior damage dealing and damage avoidance/absorption.  A single squad of Chevobrog Jacks accompanied the engagement, but mostly as observers of the terrifying efficacy of professional combatants with excellent gear. It was essentially a 5:1 fight, where the larger force barely managed to leave any marks.
