-NOTES
+===== Granton =====
+Upon arriving in the Filonian capital Granton, Seraphim Squad found the city under martial law and heavy security. Meeting with an associate of the ranger Silvertongue, a parliamentary aide named Terry Faster, to gain access to members of parliament. Hoping to convince parliament to lead a movement to resist the King's order for Radical, Total War, they met with MP Harry McDoyle. While their message was well-received, the parliament was in the process of dissolving and thus could not act in an organized fashion. Undeterred, they directed the MP to gather whatever support he could individually and rally to the ancient stronghold of [[polemos:8th_age:locations:ravenhold|Ravenhold]] where the Filonians stood the best chance at a last stand.

+Seraphim Squad then prepared to travel west to the Filonian High Command at Rovingham; they would have to travel slowly overland given the USC air superiority in the area. They also made a stop in a local pub to do a little local recruiting for their Ravenhold plan. Confronted quickly by Agent G of His Majesty's Secret Service, they discovered that support for the King's call for national suicide was not blind, but support for the King's authority still carried deep loyalty. G forbade the rangers from speaking against the King's plan, but let them continue unmolested out of Granton.

+===== The Fall of Filos =====
+Riding in a military convoy with Ms. Faster, Seraphim Squad made their way to the front. During the journey the group spotted a strobing light in the distance. Given the chance that it was a distress signal, they investigated further with one of their IFVs. Approaching a farm named Misty Hills, they found a mass grave site and a pair of murdered World Action Foundation charity workers, who were killed trying to identify remains. Venturing further into the site they found the fields poisoned, and came to a central farmhouse. Meeting the old farmer Icabod he readily confessed to the killings of the WAF workers, and told them to move on because "he needed to prepare for the real enemy." Leaving Icabod to some future justice, Seraphim Squad found the site was rigged with large fertilizer explosives.
+Arriving at Rovingham the rangers entered Filonian High Command, a series of tunnels and bunkers built below the bombed out town. Meeting with General Edward Proudfoot, Northern Army Group Commander, they sought to find an arrangement that would allow the army to cease their Pyrrhic advances, fall back to Ravenhold, and coordinate with the ARC. But they found they were not immune to the political rift between Filos and their Arthenian cousins. It had caused the death of many such talks in the past, and after heated words the general had them removed from the bunker.
+Out in the cold in more ways than one, Seraphim squad redoubled their efforts. The ranger Nexus was able to befriend one Elizabeth Harris, a network officer at High Command. Reviewing the plans, she was able to get an audience with the command approved. The ranger Ruckus also befriended the Dragoon veteran Vrak La'Trovig and recruited him to join the cause. Two battalions of dragoon mercenaries would eventually be sent to Ravenhold.
+Speaking again at High Command, this time to the entire general staff, Nexus would lay out the federation's plan for the defense of Ravenhold and the liberation of Filos from the USC. Questions were asked, and assurances were made that coalition troops would leave Filos immediately afterwards and would not become occupiers themselves. After a tense silence in the hallway while the generals argued, an Aide de Camp, Oliver Blacker, led the rangers to a motorpool with a pair of MPs, provided them a jeep. He told them that while many generals supported their plan, the general staff was split and said that they should leave immediately before things turned ugly.
+Seraphim Squad fled Rovingham under a hail of artillery shells, and witnessed Lt. Blacker shoot one of the MPs as soon as they left. They returned to Granton to find most of the city evacuated or preparing to evacuate, and were able to get a flight back to Lynpolis.
