1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:18,000 The Spongebob's report news is from the video game Helldotters that is not associated with the creators and not affiliated with Arrowhead Game Studios in any way. 2 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:30,000 All characters, sounds, and music are original to this podcast. 3 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Good evening citizens of Super Earth, this is Joe Turner bringing you the Daily Wartime Update on GNR 107. 4 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:49,000 Today is December 23rd tonight at the 2030 hour, we delve into our hard fought battles and triumphed victories as the galaxy triumphs under the march of Helldivers. 5 00:00:49,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Here's what's ahead. Liberation updates from Boldrick Prime and Hydrobius, the emerging crisis on CC, and strategic redeployment orders. 6 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,000 Stay tuned Helldivers, every second counts. 7 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:12,000 Citizens of Super Earth, today we celebrate triumph amongst the chaos. 8 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:18,000 Boldrick Prime, a critical stronghold has been liberated after grueling hours of relentless combat. 9 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Our remaining 28,347 troops stood firm against overwhelming odds to secure this decisive victory. 10 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,000 To every Helldiver who have fought tooth and nail, we salute you. 11 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 And the victories don't end there. 12 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Hydrobius has been freed from voteless occupation, thanks to the grit and determination of 23,722 Helldiver. 13 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,000 Super Earth's banner now flies proudly over its scattered landscape. 14 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:51,000 These victories reaffirm our resolve and unyielding spirit of our forces. 15 00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:01,000 But as we revel in these hard won gains, the war rages on. CC, a vital planet in our galactic defense network, is under siege by the Illuminate. 16 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000 Defense forces, this is your rallying cry. 17 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:12,000 The enemy grows bolder with each passing hour, and CC cannot fall. 18 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:27,000 Meanwhile, the Terminid's advance shows no signs of slowing. On Esker, a skeleton crew of 5,201 Helldivers fight valiantly to hold the line against swarms of these relentless foes. 19 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Reinforcements are urgently needed to bolster their defenses and reclaim these critical fronts. 20 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:42,000 But there is hope. Across the galaxy, Helldivers are regrouping, strategizing and preparing for the next dive. 21 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:51,000 Command has issued redeployment orders, focusing on our efforts on the planets like Arata Prime, where 54,000 troops stand ready to strike back against the Terminid's. 22 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:56,000 Every battle fought is a step closer to total victory. 23 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000 These victories are not just marks on our galactic map. They are testaments to our unbreakable spirit. 24 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:10,000 To the soldiers fighting on Finyear 3, your efforts have paved the way for scientific breakthroughs that could turn the tide. 25 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:18,000 And to those holding the meridian singularity, your vigilance ensures the mystery of the Illuminate doesn't spread. 26 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:30,000 Helldivers, this is your moment. Every battle fought, every enemy defeated brings us closer to our galaxy, united under the banner of Managed Democracy. 27 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:36,000 Onward, Helldivers, for Super Earth for Freedom and for the promise of better tomorrow. 28 00:03:36,000 --> 00:04:02,000 We will be right back with Penny hosting the Tech and Tactics Briefing after this short break. 29 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:19,000 Well, you seem well. Do you want to tell them, or am I telling the story? 30 00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:48,000 No, no, you're right. 31 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:56,000 Two KIA and six wounded Homer. 32 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:16,000 So, uh, first Sergeant, what exactly is a star? 33 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000 Maybe I already did. Or maybe I thought I'd find better company out here. 34 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:30,000 Oh, yeah. 35 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:39,000 That was the Halloween Offensive Episode 2, out now. 36 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:52,000 Thank you, Joe. Attention Helldivers, as we charge headlong into the galactic fray, our engineers and strategists have been hard at work ensuring that every dive is equipped with cutting edge precision and reliability. 37 00:05:52,000 --> 00:06:01,000 First, let's talk enhancements. In response to increasing terminated aggression, the AR61 Tenderizer has undergone vital modifications. 38 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:09,000 Engineers have recalibrated its target array, boosting both accuracy and consistency while engaging clustered foes. 39 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:20,000 Additionally, updates to the spear targeting systems now ensure reliable lock-ons against larger enemies, making it indispensable for dealing with heavy combatants. 40 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:36,000 Now for those heading into the defense of a Rata Prime, or liberating Hydrobius. Squad coordination has received a significant boost. Communications relays have been fortified to eliminate latency during high stress missions, ensuring that your orders and SOI signals get through without fail. 41 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Whether you're holding the line or leading a charge, you'll notice the difference. 42 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:50,000 On the mobility front, production has resumed on the Fast Reconnaissance Vehicle, or FRV, following our victor, Aknar Shnundis. 43 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:58,000 The FRV's lightweight frame and exceptional speed are perfect for scouting hostile territories or delivering supplies under fire. 44 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:05,000 Expect deployment on the front lines in the coming days. Let's see those wheels turning. 45 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:13,000 But it's not just equipment updates. Our tactical specialists have emphasized the key adjustment in battlefield strategy. Distance discipline. 46 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:26,000 This approach is critical against enemies like the Illuminate and Terminates. Remember, with Terminate Hordes, precision and striking their weak points while maintaining formation is your strongest defense. 47 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:30,000 Finally, Helldivers, our efforts go beyond combat. 48 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:38,000 Reports from Fenrare 3 suggest anomalous activity near the Meridian Singularity, a stark reminder of the challenges ahead. 49 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:46,000 High Command has greenlit the construction of a center of science on Fenrare, an effort to decode these phenomena and reinforce Super Earth Dominion. 50 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:52,000 Your actions on Fenrare have made this possible. 51 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:59,000 Helldivers, your courage in the field is matched only by the ingenuity of our engineers and the dedication of High Command. 52 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:05,000 Every update, every fix, every strategy is all to ensure that managed democracy thrives. 53 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:17,000 Stay sharp, stay connected, and let's keep pushing forward. 54 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:36,000 This is Bulldog, reporting live from the Democracy Space Station. Around me, the framework of our lifeline in orbit is being pieced back together. Engineers and repair crews swarm the superstructure, their torches and tools lighting up the void like a constellation of hope. 55 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:56,000 Now, to the front lines, ESCA, once a vibrant outpost, is now a grim battlefield. The terminates have left their mark, jagged craters, collapsed bunkers, and a silence that lingers heavy, broken only by the distant hum of drones and the crack of rifles. 56 00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:11,000 Helldivers here face relentless waves of these hive-minded predators. Our forces are stretched to their limits, holding makeshift defensive lines amidst the rubble. Yet, despite the odds, these soldiers stand unyielding. 57 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:34,000 High Command has issued orders. Strategic retreat to regroup. It's not a failure. It's a preparation. Troops are redeploying to Arata Prime, where 54,000 Helldivers are gearing up for a decisive counter-strike. Victory there could turn the tide, giving us the momentum to push back against this unrelenting foe. 58 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:54,000 Heroism isn't just about surviving. It's about ensuring others can see tomorrow. Take Sergeant Harlow, for instance, leading rookies through icy canyons to outflank a terminated brood nest. Against impossible odds, they neutralize the threat, buying critical time for reinforcements. 59 00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:12,000 From the Democracy Space Station to the front lines of ESCA, one thing is clear. Helldivers don't break. We bend. We regroup. And we fight back harder. Managed Democracy demands no less. 60 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:26,000 This has been Bulldog, reporting live from the Democracy Space Station and the heart of the fight. Never die easy, Helldivers. Together, we forge the promise of a brighter, freer tomorrow. 61 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,000 And that's all for today's Daily War Time Update. Helldivers, before we go. 62 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:46,000 This is Grant, the producer of the show, jumping in with some exciting updates. First, thanks for tuning in. This is the latest of three special episodes with two more Daily War Time updates coming our way soon. 63 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:54,000 After that, the podcast will undergo some changes as we roll out a full 2025 calendar of episodes. 64 00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:11,000 To get more details on these episodes, or to share your ideas for Season 3, head over to the Discord link in the description above. It's the best way to stay in the loop. And if any major Helldiver news drops, don't worry, we'll fire up an emergency broadcast to keep you informed. 65 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:23,000 The next two episodes will share more about the podcast's future and what's coming in Season 3. Stay tuned for all the details. And as always, thanks for being a part of this journey with us. 66 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:31,000 Until next time, Helldivers, gear up, dive deep, and keep the fight alive. This is Joe Turner, signing off. Good hunting. 67 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:55,000 Thank you. 68 00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,000 Thank you. 69 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Thank you. 70 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Thank you. 71 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,000 Thank you. 72 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:25,000 Thank you. 73 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,000 Thank you. 74 00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,000 Thank you. 75 00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:55,000 Thank you. 76 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000 Thank you. 77 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,000 Thank you. 78 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,000 Thank you. 79 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Thank you. 80 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000 Thank you. 81 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000 Thank you. 82 00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000 Thank you. 83 00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,000 Thank you.
