"We're looking at a standard run down cityscape. The only facilities of value are beyond the immediate combat zone, so you can cut loose if you don't mind civilian casualties.

"I updated the OS just like you asked, so lets go over the interface one more time before the drop. The red units indicated here are our targets. Wipe them all out one by one. The grayed out zones are obstructed by large buildings. Use them for cover, and try not to get boxed in by enemies. If you need to, you can fly over them with your thrusters, but remember that gaining too much altitude will expose you to enemies all over the city. Try to stay at ground level if possible.

"I've equipped the Leo-Ray with weapons similar to the ones you've been practicing with in the simulator. Live combat should be simple to adapt to, but lets go over everything again.

"Your primary weapon is the RIFLE, a standard shooting weapon. Attached to your secondary weapon hardpoint is a short ranged ENERGY BLADE. It's powerful, but you can only use it up close. Lastly, there's the E-CANNON on your shoulder mount. It's your strongest weapon, but the energy drain will leave you vulnerable after firing it, so use it sparingly.

"Our Leo-Ray is a third generation Core. It's rated at a base d10 threat level. The enemies you'll be facing are first generation Core models. At most, they'll be rated at a d6 threat level. When you engage one, all we have to do is get a higher die result than they do, and we'll be able to win.

"If an enemy does end up with a higher result than us, we might take some damage. The Leo-Ray has 8 points of ARMOR, meaning we can survive 8 hits before going down.
