But for now, here's Rick Bones.

9
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:18,500
Good evening, citizens of Super Earth. This is Rick Bones coming to you live with today's wartime bulletin on GNR 107.

10
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:19,500
Let's get to it.

11
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:24,500
First, the most pressing news. The defense of Borrock against the Terminids has ended in a somber defeat.

12
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,500
The brave 1,584 Helldivers stationed there fought valiantly, but were forced to retreat.

13
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:35,000
Liberation efforts are already underway to reclaim this critical ground.

14
00:01:35,500 --> 00:01:44,000
Now, turning to the Jet Brigade. Yes, they were routed, but the battle isn't over.

15
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:49,500
Intel, decrypted from automaton databases, has revealed their staging ground on Chuhei.

16
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:58,000
High Command has issued an urgent directive. Liberate Chuhei, and dismantle bots to uncover critical data about their factories.

17
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,500
Helldivers, we need you to make this statistical inevitability a reality.

18
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:15,500
In other battlefront news, Fenrir III, a shining victory, Helldivers secured the planet from the Terminid threat, with over 16,000 troops now moving to reinforce other critical fronts.

19
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:22,500
Mader Bay. Unfortunately, this automaton-occupied zone remains a challenge after recent failed defenses.

20
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,500
Liberation forces are mobilizing as we speak.

21
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:31,000
Darius II and Lesoth, victories here have shown what unified Helldivers can accomplish.

22
00:02:31,500 --> 00:02:37,000
Your efforts continue to inspire all of Super Earth. But not all stories end in triumph.

23
00:02:37,500 --> 00:02:43,000
Zaniya Prime and Borrok have fallen, and their liberation is now a top priority.

24
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:49,000
Helldivers, your courage and resilience will turn these defeats into stepping stones toward ultimate victory.

25
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:58,500
And with that, we'll take a short break when we return, details on the new major order and how Helldivers are rising to the challenge. Stick around, you won't want to miss this.

26
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:06,500
Super Earth, prepare yourselves. Episode 2 of the Halloween Offensive is almost here.

27
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:15,500
In this chilling chapter, the team ventures into the unknown, where danger hides in the shadows, and survival is anything but certain.

28
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:23,000
Mysteries deepen, people are tested, and an invisible threat emerges that will push them to their limits.

29
00:03:23,500 --> 00:03:27,000
Starring Umbriel as Bulldog.

30
00:03:27,500 --> 00:03:34,000
More like what you'd call hunters these days. See, back then, stalkers weren't as dangerous.

31
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:37,000
Brady Flanagan as the First Sergeant.

32
00:03:37,500 --> 00:03:43,000
Well, do you want to tell them, or am I telling the story?

33
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,500
Cat as Lieutenant Grayson.

34
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,500
Don't worry Sergeant, if we find anything we'll be sure to leave you some bugs to play with.

35
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,500
And more incredible voices delivering gripping performances.

36
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,500
I'm your sixth Lieutenant, I've got movement.

37
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,500
Oh great, so basically, we're hunting ghosts.

38
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,500
What secrets will they uncover? What sacrifices will they make?

39
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:13,000

41
00:04:21,500 --> 00:04:27,000
Welcome back Helldivers and Super Earth citizens. Now let's dive into the newly issued Major Order.

42
00:04:27,500 --> 00:04:30,000
The Ministry of Defense has laid out a clear mission.

43
00:04:30,500 --> 00:04:35,000
Locate and eliminate the automaton factories responsible for producing the dreaded jet brigade.

44
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:39,500
Here's the plan. Liberate Chuha and their staging ground to uncover key intel.

45
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,500
Dismantle automaton forces to retrieve vital data drives, so the stakes couldn't be higher.

46
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,500
These factories represent a looming threat to every settlement.

47
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:53,500
Every liberated territory in Dismantled Bot brings us closer to securing a safer future.

48
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,500
Your determination has already brought victories like Fenrir III and Darius II.

49
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,500
With the MG-43 now officially Helldiver approved,

50
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:06,000
added to your arsenal, the odds are in our favor.

51
00:05:06,500 --> 00:05:12,000
High Command is counting on your unyielding spirit to deliver freedom's justice to the galaxy.

52
00:05:12,500 --> 00:05:15,000
Squad TNT highlight.

53

And that's where we stand tonight, Helldivers.

00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,500
From the hard-fought victories on Fenrir III and Darius II, to the challenges ahead on Matar Bay and Bor Rock,

60
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,500
the fight for freedom marches on.

61
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,500
High Command's new major order gives us a clear directive.

62
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,500
Dismantle the automaton threat by taking Chuha and securing vital intel.

63
00:05:53,500 --> 00:05:58,000
It's a mission only the bravest can achieve, and I have no doubt you'll deliver.

Listen to this and more on SoundCloud. Links in the show notes. Am I the Puppeteer.

75
00:07:16,500 --> 00:07:22,000
The shadows they cast, memories of fire burning from the past.

76
00:07:22,500 --> 00:07:26,000
The girl asked, hey must thug, let the reed all frow.

77
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:32,000
With the dance of life, let your spill it flow.

78
00:07:36,500 --> 00:07:41,000
When passion guided, once bright and beautiful.

79
00:07:41,500 --> 00:07:45,000
Now dim, you know, flickering dreams.

80
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,500
Shadows they cast, memories of fire burning from the past.

81
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:55,500
To spool them to care, searching for the light.

82
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,500
Coldness inside, holding on tight.

83
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,500
But don't worry, work's knocking at your door.

84
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,500
In this world, comfort's earned, that's for sure.

85
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,500
You're the master of your fate, never let go.

86
00:08:13,500 --> 00:08:17,000
In the dance of life, be the star of the show.

87
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:20,000
Lift your body from the pillow's embrace.

88
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,000
Get ready for work, put on a brave face.

89
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:27,000
Even without passion, duties remain.

90
00:08:27,500 --> 00:08:31,000
You're the puppeteer, life's dreams you maintain.

91
00:08:31,500 --> 00:08:35,000
Threads of gold and silver woven in your hands.

92
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:39,000
Crafting your destiny, making new plans.

93
00:08:39,500 --> 00:08:42,000
Let life flow in its purposeless race.

94
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:45,500
Remember, you hold the power, set the pace.

95
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,500
With or without passion, navigate the sphere.

96
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,500
You're the puppeteer, strong, no fear.

97
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,500
Every string you pull, every move you make.

98
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,500
In this grand performance, there's no mistake.

99
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,500
Once vibrant and beautiful, now faded and dimmed.

100
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,500
Life speeds on, faster than ever before.

101
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:12,000
Desperate to care, searching for the light.

102
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:15,000
Coldness inside, holding you tight.

103
00:09:15,500 --> 00:09:19,000
But don't worry, work's knocking at your door.

104
00:09:19,500 --> 00:09:22,000
In this world, comfort's earned, that's for sure.

105
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:26,000
You're the master of your fate, never let go.

106
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:35,500
The dance of life, be the star of the show.

107
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,500
With or without passion, navigate the sphere.

108
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,500
You're the puppeteer, strong, no fear.

109
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,500
In the grand symphony of life, take your stand.

110
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,500
Guide the strings with a steady hand.

111
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,500
You're the puppeteer, the one who commands.

112
00:09:53,500 --> 00:09:58,000
In this dance, life's in your hands.

113
00:09:58,500 --> 00:10:02,000
Now it flows in as they go through, leaving you yearning,

114
00:10:02,500 --> 00:10:05,000
unsure of what to pursue.

115
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,000
Or even without passion, responsibility for man.

116
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:12,000
As you, your own puppeteer, life strings you maintain.

117
00:10:12,500 --> 00:10:16,000
With hands on the strings, guide the flow.

118
00:10:16,500 --> 00:10:19,000
The puppeteer stands, commanding the show.

119
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,500
Let the violins cry, let the drums proclaim.

120
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,500
Your symphony rises, you've won the game.

121
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,500
Now the curtains draw, the lights grow dim.

122
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:34,500
The echoes linger, a celestial hymn.

123
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:38,500
With passion or not, the dance must go.

124
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,500
In the grand design, you're the maestro.

125
00:10:41,500 --> 00:10:51,000
With or without passion, you navigate this sphere.

126
00:10:51,500 --> 00:10:55,000
The puppeteer of your life, with strength and no fear.

127
00:10:55,500 --> 00:10:58,000
