On the way back to the Harbor, Geroj convinces the team to take the scenic route, his argument is that he is running low on 7.62x39mm ammo and they might find some out in the wild. Since Rob Yu and HK are also low on .30-06 ammo they take his side and it's decided. It doesn't take long before they find what they are looking for.
It's an unpleasant surprise when they discover that their adversaries are highly trained Immortal Badasses, and to pile things on they start in a very bad position. They move to get out of the firing line and to find a better postion where they can make a stand.
The Brock and Kestrel will scout ahead, making sure the team doesn't get attacked from the south while they are fighting. Geroj stays behind to lay down some cover fire in case it's needed.
Kestrel and The Brock soon meets their first Badass, Kestrel misses his hip-shot, The Brock has time for a quick aimed burst which brings the target down.
Kestrel and The Brock will split up, Kestrel moving north and The Brock will move south. HK and BNC will take positions on the ridge overlooking the lower valley while Rob Yu and Geroj will cover their back in case they were pursued.
HK spots a Badass and opens up, he misses and gets suppressed immediately, one of the bullets hits him doing some minor damage.
He decides to pull back, and while going so he gets hit again, this time in the leg and he passes out.

As BNC moves up to treat HK's leg wound, Geroj spots another Badass and lays down some cover fire.
Kestrel has finished his flanking run and has a nice spot overlooking the advancing enemy. He starts shooting with his USAS-12 to distract them.
The Brock stumbles upon another Badass, a well aimed burst to the head takes care of him.
Geroj is getting the Badasses' attention, bullets whizzing by closer and closer.
Kestrel discovers two more Badasses, shoots a final shot and then start to pull back, he's too exposed in his current position. Just before he lets the shot go, he hears Geroj screaming out in pain, it seems Geroj has been hit, badly hit by the sound of his screams.
The Brock needs to hurry, but gets interrupted again by another Badass.
As Kestrel moves back into cover he gets hit in the back. It's only a minor flesh wound and he manages to continue.
BNC, who is done treating HK, moves back and starts working on Geroj while Rob Yu continues to lay down cover fire with his BAR.
The Brock has moved down the southern road, as he reaches the lower valley he sees a grenade coming his way. He quickly moves for cover, but isn't fast enough, some shrapnel hits him in the back.
While Kestrel is healing his wounds, BNC will run down to help The Brock. Geroj will move up while Rob Yu provides cover fire if needed. HK crawls to the ridge to distract the enemy focused on The Brock, who will use that to sneak up closer to the Badass who threw the grenade at him.
The tactic is a success! The Brock delivers a deadly headshot. He then spots another Badass coming down the hill, a burst from his MP5A5 deals with it effectively.
Kestrel is finished bandaging his wounds and spots a Badass trying to flank the team, a shot from his USAS-12 sends the enemy running.

When The Brock starts moving, another Badass pops out from behind cover. A quick burst from his MP5A5 does the deed.
Kestrel finds the retreating Badass, and this time he doesn't miss the opportunity.
Geroj spots a Badass pulling back, and this one is carrying something very special, an M14 with a scope! Get that Badass!
Geroj throws his short fused grenade to make sure they don't have time to get out of the blast radius. One is killed instantly, the other is seriously wounded.
Kestrel takes him out from his position in the bushes and the battle is won.
The team got some nice loot, especially the M14 sniper mod with 50 rounds of 7.62x51mm ammo.
Back at the Harbor, they sell the loot and gets the reward money for taking care of the Jingo stronghold. They also agree to help Billy-Bob with the next task, meeting a representative from the Jingos to settle their differences.
The travel to the meeting place, talks to a guy, then go back to Billy-Bob and report their success.
R@S Note: Having Rob Yu on the team while completing this missions gives you different dialog options. It means you can complete the mission without firing a bullet.
Billy-Bob marks a location on the map, and the team travels there to investigate.
