The Prior Mission
Echo 1 had been dispatched to Roachtown to assist its ally, Umbrella Corp, in their reclamation of the ruined suburb. E1 hit the suburb in force from the west and quickly secured several TRPs before reclaiming nearly the entirety of the western half of the suburb with the aid of UC. With the initial momentum wearing out, the team began to spread out and set to the task of repairing further east and tackling the repair jobs in the ruined dark buildings.
The Arrival of BB3
As can be expected from such a powerful movement, BB3 swept in from the east and knocked out nearly every TRP in the area within one hour. E1 was down to 30% strength over night and there was no choice but retreat. Echo 1 XO, Captain Clanc43, immediately issued a general retreat back to Ackland mall in Havercroft.
11 zeds inside Cyril, 16 outside, 10 outside the NT, 2 inside. Lots of zombies just popped up out of nowhere. - Clanc43
There's a lot of dead people over here. - Nolo
Roachtown is fucked. - Clanc43
Well **** this waiting around shit. Just because I'm a shambling corpse again doesn't mean I cant still kill zombies. Let's see how they like getting bitten. - Jack Burton
Ackland and Beyond
Retreat turned out to be the correct choice as most E1 members were on their feet and resupplied the next day. Unfortunately, the allies that stayed behind to fight the overwhelming force arrayed against them were soon low on man power and supplies. With the approach of BB3 once again, this time toward Ackland, the decision was made to run away right back into Roachtown to help our allies recover and to undo the damage caused by the BB3's rampage.
E1 returned to the suburb to find it utterly destroyed. BB3 could only have been more thorough if they had salted the earth because no stone was left upon another. The suburb was razed. For the next few days E1 worked and brought some life back to the area by reviving the fallen and repairing the buildings they had held only days before.
The damage had been done and the early momentum of the mission was gone. It was decided to bravely run away.
God we have such good [Operation] names in the Army. - Nolo
