The Interloper Protocol

## SES MAJOR ORDER UPDATE # Interloper remains unaccounted for! Yesterday's setbacks have forced our search teams onto the back foot, but today's operations present a new opportunity. High Command's Major Order aligns perfectly with our investigation, giving every Helldiver a chance to aid the search. Hold the line. Recover every sample you can. Leave no sector unexplored. Most importantly, remember to submit your operations through **S.C.O.U.T.** Intelligence can't track our progress if Helldivers don't file their reports. RIGHT NOW - Vanguard and Spizzo deploy once again in search of our missing comrade. Let's make sure they aren't fighting alone.

Attention, Helldivers: we’ve recovered Interloper’s helmet, and the evidence points straight to Bot activity on an isolated stretch of ground where the Squids should’ve been the only problem. Our first Major Order Objective is also closed out with a mixed result: we did clear the Illuminate sample target after adjustments, but too many Troops missed the mark on after action reports, and we still fell short on kills at 94,000 out of 100,000. That leaves us with a consequence, and it’s a fitting one: our primary operatives will head into today’s livestream mission with restricted arsenals. No overbuilt loadouts, no easy wins, just a harder fight and a clearer reminder that every report, every sample, and every deployment matters if we want to pull Interloper back from the dark. The next Major Order has rewards! Guide coming soon!

## Helldivers, SES High Command may have found something. A trace, a hint of **Interloper**. We are currently awaiting verification from our Super Destroyers. Until then, ensure you dive hard and collect as many samples as possible! Shred the Illuminate and show them that even the mention of taking one of our own has been, and will be, met with Liberty's ferocity! Catch the stream now! For Super Earth!

Day two of The Interloper Protocol - and Interloper's mysterious radio silence is still holding, which is never a comforting sign. If the enemy wanted us to find an easy answer on Heze Bay, they would have left one by now. Instead, we’re getting fragments, and fragments usually mean something was covered up fast. The search continues for our lost comrade, but it’s starting to feel like the battlefield is hiding its own history. No clean answers, no easy breakthroughs, just a growing sense that Interloper’s trail was never meant to be followed in a straight line. Tonight, SES High Command takes their investigation to the Automaton Front to assist with the Major Order. Sample collection has been noted as constrained, whilst Illuminate kills have certain made an impact. It is clear to see - Interloper left very few traces.
