SKAT BAY– HOLLOW LIGHT: Paladin Makes A Grim Discovery – Black Directive Op SE WARFRONT D433

Omega Squad deploys once again under a classified Black Directive—Operation: Hollow Light. Special Operative Paladin spearheads the mission to investigate the final transmission of a SEAF science officer in the Skat Bay system, where a SEAF black site and downed transport complicate the situation.

On arrival, Paladin discovers unsettling truths: the science officer confirmed KIA, mysterious SEAF Section 731st personnel with mixed combat wounds, and an encrypted datapad titled EVACUATION FAILURE REPORT – ANGEL’S VENTURE. Further intel from a crashed recon drone deepens the mystery. Illuminate forces, intensely interested in the region, launch repeated assaults, escalating pressure and testing Omega's resolve.

Under fire, Paladin orders tactical maneuvers while holding the uplink for critical black box data transfer. Alqemy secures the intel uplink; Smile narrowly evades enemy patrols with drone intel; Euphoria lays down relentless autocannon suppression—albeit briefly hampered by friendly orbital mishaps.

With intel secured and the Pelican extraction window tightening, Omega Squad fights through heavy Illuminate resistance, leveraging activated SEAF SAM sites to neutralize enemy air support. Paladin, commanding with righteous fury, leads the squad safely to extraction, leaving more questions than answers in their wake.
