That was Sawa with Do It Big, I'm Lily your DJ for this morning, I'm out. And up next Rick Bones with the afternoon bulletin. 5 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:37,560 Good afternoon citizens of Super Earth. This is Rick Bones bringing you another update from the front lines in the war to save humanity. We've got major developments today so let's dive right in. 6 00:01:37,560 --> 00:02:02,560 It's official, Gaelevarri has been liberated from the automatons. Our Helldivers fought tooth and nail and now we control a critical site for the Democracy Space Station. Construction is underway and a DSS logistics hub has been established nearby but don't get too comfortable people. The DSS will be our ultimate weapon in the fight for freedom and it needs to be completed before our enemies catch wind of its location. 7 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:13,560 Let's take a step back. Just a few days ago, SE Command sent out a major briefing. Here's what you need to know. 8 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:35,560 Months ago, the Helldivers liberated GW1-era blueprints for an interplanetary battle station from planet X-45. After intense research, construction of the Democracy Space Station is finally ready to begin. This is a monumental leap forward for managed democracy, a project that will reshape the galactic map, democratically directed by us, the Helldivers. 9 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:57,560 But the road ahead won't be easy. Large scale infrastructure projects and heroic taxpayer contributions will be required. The orbital construction site had to be secured from two planets with strong magnetospheres, Clasa and Gaelevarri, both under automaton control. The decision was left to the Helldivers and Gaelevarri was chosen and liberated just days ago. 10 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:11,560 The DSS will be extremely vulnerable to attacks during construction. It could change the entire course of the war, but its success or failure lies squarely in our hands, Helldivers. Stay vigilant and remember, the galaxy is counting on us. 11 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:25,560 Three areas need advancements for the DSS, Zero-G material science, FTL propulsion, and gigastructure staffing. Every Helldivers mission is crucial now. Failures will delay this project and we cannot afford delays. 12 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:45,560 While we celebrate victories like Gaelevarri, we must not forget our losses. Imbir has fallen to the automatons, Helldivers were forced to retreat, and now 16,000 of our troops are redeploying to reliberate the planet. A reminder, folks, this war isn't just about territory, it's about survival. 13 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:58,560 In other news, the Terminids have launched a brutal offensive at Fact Bay. Helldivers, if you're not already deployed, this is your new target. Reinforcements are pouring in, but we need every able soldier defending that sector. 14 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:06,560 We've got some exciting updates today, including a special transmission from Super Earth Command about a squad that's been making waves. 15 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Helldivers, it's not every day we get to celebrate an achievement like this. Squad TNT has been recognized for their extraordinary efforts in completing a major observation mission with precision and minimal collateral damage. 16 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:33,560 They've caught the eye of SEIF Command and their next steps are critical to shaping the future of our Helldiver forces. Stay tuned as we listen to this special transmission from Super Earth Command. 17 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:46,560 Attention, Helldivers, we are proud to announce a special commendation. Squad TNT, congratulations on successfully completing the entire observation mission assigned to you. 18 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:59,560 Your exemplary performance, completing all objectives, acquiring samples with minimal collateral damage, and following reinforcement protocols, has earned recognition from SEIF Command officials. 19 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Your squad's skill sets will now be further developed for recruitment and sustainability training material for the Helldivers II Task Force. 20 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:16,560 Here's what to expect moving forward. Execute Advanced Individual Training, AIT, for new Helldiver cadets. 21 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:30,560 Develop doctrines for weapons handling, engagement tactics, communications, and squad cohesion. Begin interviews and feedback sessions with fellow Helldivers about squad TNT missions. 22 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:46,560 Enquire about weapons upgrades, war bonds, and individuals' backgrounds. Conduct in-mission challenges to inspire curiosity and connection with Super Earth citizens. Create video tutorials for basic Helldiving missions. 23 00:05:46,560 --> 00:06:03,560 Establish mentorships with cadets to combat battle fatigue. Document mission progress using Advanced Video Log and Capture Technology, AVLC. Produce mission highlight videos and engage in public appearance campaigns, including radio and TV. 24 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:15,560 Squad TNT is now authorized for mission progression levels 1-8, with higher level missions pending approval. 25 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:32,560 The SEIF Command recognizes your active status and approves additional squad operator acquisitions following the completion of your set training protocols. We wish you continued success in your duties. 26 00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:47,560 Welcome back. So to summarize, Squad TNT is being put in the spotlight and they'll be leading recruitment efforts and mentorship programs to help future Helldivers navigate the stresses of battle. Make sure to go to the link above to watch Squad TNT. 27 00:06:47,560 --> 00:07:01,560 Expect to hear more about them soon, especially with their mission progression now active and their approval for some very important tasks ahead. Keep an ear out for their interviews, public appearances, and those legendary mission highlight reels. 28 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:18,560 Now moving on to our broader war efforts. Additionally, SHELT couldn't be defended. Our forces have been pushed back and now over 6,000 Helldivers are regrouping to liberate the fallen world. The automatons think they have us on the ropes, but they underestimate our resolve. 29 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Looking at the broader picture, Helldivers, it's clear. Time is our enemy as much as the automatons and Terminids. The DSS project is a symbol of what we're fighting for, a beacon of hope that can rain down liberation across the galaxy. 30 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:41,560 But its construction hinges on every mission you undertake. Fail a mission and you delay humanity's best chance. 31 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:53,560 If you're on the front lines, keep fighting. If you're awaiting deployment, your next mission is clear. Head to Fact Bay or Imbir. Super Earth is counting on you to protect the Democracy Space Station and our future. 32 00:07:53,560 --> 00:08:10,560 That's it for today's briefing, Helldivers. Remember, every bullet, every breath, every victory counts. The galaxy won't. Free itself, it's up to us. Stay sharp, stay focused, and dive deep. Until next time, this is Rick Bones, signing off. 33 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:35,560 I wish I knew back then that it's okay to lose, it's okay to bend. Through the storm, through the fall, you'll rise up above it all. 34 00:08:35,560 --> 00:09:02,560 I wish I knew back then that it's okay to lose, it's okay to bend. Through the storm, through the fall, you'll rise up above it all. Every fight, every fall, maybe who I am today took my time, fell the light, now I'm walking my own way. 35 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:14,560 Tell that kid, you'll be okay. The hardest roads, we'd you wear them and stay. Through the struggle, learn to breathe. Would it be me without the white beneath? 36 00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:34,560 You saw I shout when the world felt cold. Eight years old, story untold. Parents waiting for that dreaded call. Police involved, it was always a fall. But Mrs. Mayfield saw the spark in that day's school where I left my mark. 37 00:09:34,560 --> 00:09:47,560 Wish I could tell her you're the reason why. I'm standing here now, reaching for the sky. And I, I wish I knew back then that it's okay to fall. Just start again. 38 00:09:47,560 --> 00:10:03,560 Through the storm, through the pain, you'll find sunshine and rain. Every fight, every fall, made me who I am today.
