Defense Construction

Wassup, Daniel! You don't look happy.

This place isn't safe and I need more muscle on patrols. I couldn't put a serious crew together.

Soth keeps telling me how he's got nobody to spare and how we should avoid risks... But I'm worried that trouble will come looking for us.

Yeah, we do have Landbreakers prowling near this place. Found anything suspicious?

A few footprints and pieces of bone that someone gnawed on. And the smell! Gah! I really think...

HEY! DANIEL! We got an emergency!

Them friggin' LBs are here! A mob of 'em! They are definitely up to no good!

WHAT?! So soon?! Quick! Take the people and hide!

We can't let those LBs get any closer! Take us to the battle!

You alright?! Are you hurt?

Damn! We chased off those pipefaces before, and now they're pulling this sneaky trick on us!

Soth, if we got no other solutions in mind, I'm heading out to lay a few traps. I won't die holed up in a cave.

It's not the same! I'm ex-military! I may have been discharged, but I won't sit on my hands while these blighted raiders mess up my place!

I know how you feel ... Daniel. I know. I've seen all the hard work you've put in to everything here.

Everyone knows how important you are. That's why we can't afford to let you handle the toughest jobs alone.

...Ugh. Alright. Fine. You're right.

But we can't let this go on forever. Oh, what about those Gun Towers we constructed last time? Can we use them?

Those are stationary defense facilities. The LBs are getting smart, and I don't think we can get enough towers to handle every situation.

Oh yeah, we got our flashy Techno-Protocol! If we know where the enemy is coming from, we can just re-arrange our defenses!

Hmm... All protocol facilities are furnished with basic sensors and datalinks. Real-time processing of signal feeds from facilities in the whole area ... should give us the early warning we need.

We will place an early warning terminal here. It will monitor the surroundings for a potential attack, and help us organize our defenses.

Indeed. Those facilities offer plenty of support fire. They can hold off an entire attack route if we're spread too thin...

Hey, come to think of it, this approach sounds pretty promising.

The early warning terminal seems to be working well. If threat level exceeds the scope of the auto-defense mode, we'll be back here and offer our support in the defense operations.

By Talos... We can definitely use this tech at a lot of places!

Unfortunately, many of the technologies in this system aren't ready for large-scale deployment yet.

But since we have the Sub-PAC, we can at least deploy these to support our defenses at several locations.

Yeah. But this places us further in your debt... We can hardly offer any help. It's such a shame.

Indeed. Self-sufficiency is important, but forcing people to take on impossible challenges will defeat the entire purpose.

...Words of true wisdom. You're right. Hah. Leave the maintenance of the early warning terminal to us. We can definitely handle a job like that.

I can totally visit the camp and teach everyone some self-defense skills.

And before peace returns, we'll help you handle the local threats and hazards!

Support module testing complete... Hmm. This should work.

These things are awesome! Just place them at the right places, and they'll help a small team like ours take down entire enemy mobs!

So what should we do if the enemy attacks when you're not around? Our community doesn't have enough fighters.

Be rest assured. Once properly deployed, the combat facilities will work automatically. They can handle decent-sized enemy forces in our absence.

The early warning terminal can evaluate the local threat level... An actual demonstration will better explain how it works. Let us begin.
