Down below. 25 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,800 But first, let's get into the most pressing news. Early this morning at 12 57 a.m. 26 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:32,080 Gatria was successfully defended from a massive terminate assault. Our Helldivers stood their 27 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:38,480 ground, pushing back wave after wave of those damn bugs. The final tally? Over 15,000 terminates 28 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:46,080 killed, and 15,265 Helldivers remain on the front lines, ready to strike back at Fact Bay. 29 00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:52,720 This victory, though hard won, keeps Gatria safe, at least for now. Unfortunately, not all reports 30 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:59,600 are so positive. At 6 15 a.m., we received word that our forces on Yed Prior suffered a devastating 31 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:06,080 defeat. Automaton combatants overwhelmed our positions, forcing a full-scale retreat. Helldivers 32 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:12,240 listen up. This loss is a stark reminder that our fight is far from over. As we pull back from Yed 33 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,400 Prior, SE Command has already issued orders for our remaining forces to regroup at Fact Bay, 34 00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:25,040 where over 12,000 troops are mobilizing for a counteroffensive. 35 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:36,640 The Automaton threat is growing. Our liberation efforts on planets like Penta, 36 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:41,840 Chort Bay, and Menkent remain ongoing. And if you haven't reported to one of these fronts yet, 37 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,600 what are you waiting for? Every Helldiver is needed. Now here's an update on the big picture. 38 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:53,680 SE Command has just issued a new major order, and it's a heavy one. Our mission is now three-fold. 39 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:59,920 Capture critical Automaton databases containing intel on the Jet Brigade, resecure the Terminid 40 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:06,000 Research Preserve, and limit Automaton territorial expansion. This is it, folks. Super Earth 41 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,760 survival depends on us executing these orders flawlessly. Every failure brings us closer to 42 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:18,400 losing ground we cannot afford to lose. And now, a special announcement for all you Helldivers, 43 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:24,160 SEIF, and civilians on the front. GNR 107 has produced a mini-series called the Halloween 44 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:30,240 Offensive. This mini-series will broadcast on the 31st and is an audio drama series with five 45 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,760 scheduled episodes with truly fantastic voice acting. Hope to hear about what you think of the 46 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:44,000 series. Just spit it out, Joe. What's this about? Recon Team Report, what do you see out there? 47 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:51,520 SEIF It was supposed to be a simple mission, a reconnaissance run on a distant world where no 48 00:04:51,520 --> 00:05:00,640 one thought twice about what had once roamed free. GNR 107 We'll all be damned if it isn't Bulldog himself. 49 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,120 SEIF Yeah, it's a bit of a staple around here, especially with off-duty soldiers. 50 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:14,960 SEIF Twenty years ago, Lieutenant Stone, a soldier, a survivor, and a legend, led his company 51 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:20,560 against something that evolved. GNR 107 Didn't you used to be in the service? What happened? 52 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:28,560 SEIF Something unimaginable. A battle that left scars, ones he's never escaped. But the past 53 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:34,480 never stays buried. And now, on the eve of the anniversary, Stone is returning. 54 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:42,560 SEIF Good evening, sir. Welcome to the Astridia Hotel. We've prepared your room as requested. 55 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:48,640 Everything is set for your stay. GNR 107 To face the ghosts of those he left behind, 56 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:55,200 and confront the horrors that nearly took him. Join him as he relives the terrifying days of 57 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,040 the Halloween Offensive, where the line between soldier and survivor, blood, and old enemies 58 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,240 lurked in the shadows, waiting. SEIF You've heard the stories. What more do you want to know? 59 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,160 Welcome back, Helldivers. Before we get back into the updates, I want to remind you all about 60 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,520 yesterday's Liberty Day. The annual celebrations were a sight to behold, with the lunar bombardment 61 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:25,040 lighting up the sky. But let's not forget why we celebrate. It's not just about festivities. 62 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:30,400 Liberty Day is a reminder that our freedom is hard won and fragile, and now that the celebrations 63 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:43,520 are over, we return to the grind. Now back to the action. As we speak, automatons are launching 64 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:49,200 fresh assaults on Blistika and Mentoria. Defenses are being bolstered, but it's going to take every 65 00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:54,800 ounce of courage and firepower to push them back. If you're on standby, consider this your call to 66 00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:01,280 arms. Every Helldiver who can fight is needed on the front lines. Before we wrap up, here's one last 67 00:07:01,280 --> 00:07:06,880 reminder of the critical mission at hand. Fact Bay is where our forces are regrouping for the next 68 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,720 big push. Whether it's against automatons or Terminids, it doesn't matter. We fight to win. 69 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,760 We fight for Super Earth. Remember, each kill brings us one step closer to victory, and each 70 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:22,000 Helldiver that falls serves as a reminder of the sacrifices we must be willing to make. 71 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,240 Keep your rifles at the ready and your eyes on the skies. This is Rick Bones signing off. Stay 72 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:52,480 vigilant, stay deadly, and as always, Liberty for Super Earth. Now back to the music that inspires us. 73 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:04,480 Our shields may break our voices straight, but still we rise from fire and pain. 74 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:24,480 I sing of lives and dreams we leave behind, 75 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:35,840 as courage binds us where fear cannot bind. Our shields may break our voices straight, 76 00:08:35,840 --> 00:09:00,640 but still we rise from fire and pain. I sing of lives and dreams we leave behind, 77 00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:12,800 as courage binds us where fear cannot bind. Ours is a song of hearts in iron cast, 78 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:16,560 a memory forged, a future built to last. 79 00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:30,160 Stand fast, stand true, through twilight's cold embrace, our flames ignite to hold this final 80 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:47,520 place. For Super Earth, for every voice on her, we rise as one, our anthem fierce and stoned. 81 00:09:47,520 --> 00:10:00,960 Through steel and stone, our valor we proclaim, and freedom rings upon the battlefield's flame. 82 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:20,000 If breath should fail in skies above grow dark, remember us who bore the righteous luck. 83 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:28,960 The scars we wear are silent testament to battles fought, to duties fierce lament. 84 00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:42,960 Together bound by bonds that none can sever, in life or death our pledge endures forever. 85 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:50,960 With shields raised high and spirits never torn, our names shall echo on the edge of dawn. 86 00:10:54,720 --> 00:11:05,120 For Super Earth, our voice is thunder-strong, through smoke and flame we sing the hero's song. 87 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:14,240 No storm shall quench the fire in our souls, as liberty upon our legacy rolls. 88 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:22,240 Together we'll sing our song, so let the stars bear witness to our stand. 89 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:28,240 This show, Helldivers Radio, was a PV production.
