The Jet Brigade are on Menkent, and we should’ve seen it coming.
First, before the MO, the Automaton presence on Menkent started to inexplicably grow. I saw this mentioned a couple times, but I didn’t see anything about making a connection as to why, other than perhaps them preparing to defend after we take Vernen Wells.
Then, during the MO, we received intel from SEAF that there were practically no Jet Brigade units on Chort Bay. It was a surprise to Super Earth, but a very welcome one. But over on Menkent, their force continued to grow. I had made the connection, but I personally hadn’t seen any posts on it or anyone else talking about it, so I thought I was just speculating (I had also thought at the time that the bots were gonna do their own gambit on us and invade Lesath while we were still liberating Chort Bay.)
Now, the Jet Brigade have been spotted on Menkent and are in the perfect position to cut off Chort Bay, should they choose to do so. We should have seen this coming from a mile away, and I’m surprised there hasn’t been much talk on it, even with Meridia slowly losing it’s supply lines.
It’s time to do the duty we signed up for, Helldivers. We will finally scrap these citizen killing, technology stealing, worthless pieces of metal once and for all.
To Menkent my brothers and sisters in arms,
What goes up must come down.
