Collateral Democracy: Network’s Unfortunate Sacrifice

DESCRIPTION (Filed as Super Earth Incident Report)

Filed By: Helldiver Rubber Duck
Assigned Ship: S.E.S. Soul of Audacity
Incident Type: Accidental Friendly Fire / Weapon Misfire
Location: Classified Warzone under Automaton Control

Incident Summary:
During an engagement against a hostile Warstrider, Helldiver Rubber Duck initiated a Thermite Grenade assault to weaken the target’s armor. Instead of allowing the Thermite to perform its patriotic duty, Duck advanced and discharged an Ultimatum anti-tank projectile. The projectile missed its intended target and instead struck fellow Helldiver Network, resulting in immediate and spectacular detonation.

Casualties:

Helldiver Network — KIA (Patriotic Explosion)

Warstrider — Unharmed (Momentarily)

Notable Dialogue Recorded:

“Oh I missed, oh god—I'm sorry I missed the Warstrider, and it hit Network!”
“That’s going to be an incident report if I ever have to file one.”

Command Recommendation:
Super Earth commends the Helldiver for honesty and situational awareness. Precision training and further Ultimatum targeting drills are advised. Network’s sacrifice will not be forgotten — nor will Duck’s aim.
