Djotto Serri, Front line of the Shasta Mountain contested zone, Sunday April 26 2080

Freshly promoted Djotto Serri Captain Nicolas Hargrave Carpenter inspects the company he was given command of, 80 orks and troll, with a few former Ute humans sprinkled in. He is making a very concise speech in front of his troops, making it clear without any doubt that he is not going to tolerate any atrocities in his ranks. Anyone that will commit crimes will be punished at once under the rules of martial law. He lists the punishments for the crimes as they were set up in the british army, not caring if the Djotto Serri has any other definition of those rules.
He is aware that his orders only allow him a short time to get a feel for his troops and he admits to himself that this is the largest command he has had so far. But he intends to use those few hours to the best. Taking his men to an abandoned village close to Crecent City he starts with some training runs. I gets clear immediately that he has a quite green company under his command (the Ute are actually the ones with the best combat experience) and starts to reorganize his soldiers into small squads under the command of the men he found to be, in his opinion, the best leaders, regardless of formely given ranks. An as strong line of command as possible is established in his limited time. Also notices strong deficiencies in the handling of first aid he adds instructions for his men to handle these things better.

Then it is time to mount the helicopters bringing them to support General Gruff in the most important task of the day, connecting the so far seperate fronts of the Djotto Serri, serving as part of the Generals extended Division of mechanized infantry. 'Creative interpretation of borders' is used to claim Cassel from the CalFree, but that was the easy part. Leaving behind the still building Djotto Serri 4th Regulars, the Captain and his troops spearhead, side by side with Colonel Huffs First Elites, down Highway 299, until they take Adin. Here Captain Carpenters troops get a little rest, before they cut southward down Highway 139, by now facing some serious oposition by CalFree troops as they secure a well travel-able route for their supply convoys into the currently established Djotto Serri mainland. It is at Susanville where they meet with troops sent from the other side, along Highway 395. It is at that point that General Gruff calls for negotiations with the CalFree troops about a cease-fire. The Djotto Serri having achieved their aim of gaining a complete Highway route from Crescent City to Reno.

The new borders along CalFree are secured by Gruffs own first marines, as well as the 2nd and fourth Regulars. Reno itself sends regular T-Bird patrols down that line to 'discourage' the CalFree of any offensive moves as Reno sends in diplomats to the CalFree.
