Meanwhile, we catch back up with the other half of the party as Zinnia, Trest, Echo-7, and their -evans answer Loachwort’s distress signal and investigate a mansion in Brinnoa Heights.

Midnight Squad is torn on where to go next, so they decide to split up. Davaasho, Sprouts, and a gaggle of -evins venture out to investigate the reactor on Brinnoa.

Zinnia finds herself face-to-face with a pair of Thresher Lords, and Midnight Squad receives a distress signal from an old “friend.”

On the surface of Suskillon, Midnight Squad joins up with soldiers defending the Starport against the Swarm.

Midnight Squad begins their descent toward Suskillon to enact their strategy to take back Brinnoa from the Swarm.

With their triumphant return from the Swarm Hivemind, SDF leadership is quick to tap Midnight Squad for their assistance in formulating a battle plan to take back the city of Brinnoa on Suskillon.
