[LW2] Ambushed....

I just got ambushed on a mission.

The Advent were in a vulnerable position with light enemy activity. At there very start things went bad. When I went in my grenadier to her first piece of cover she was spotted by a civilian that was hidden behind a lamp post. This exposed me to an Advent patrol, then another while I was dealing with the first. While mopping up the second patrol a warp opened up with four Advent and a viper coming out of it. Then a second opened up, then a third. A third patrol found my desperate fighters as they retreated onto a highway. Then two Advent drop ships came by and unloaded four and five Advent each.

Well before this point I knew things were fucked, the second portal had made me sorta feel funny. After the third I felt that something just didn't seem right here. When the first drop ship arrived, it dawned on me that we had bad intel and that this was an ambush.

I called for an evac and carried two bleed outs onto the skyranger. I left a man behind (and his laser rifle).
