It was a supply mission to Heliost and a vicious group of outlaws had the path blocked. Four Freelancers were sent out and discovered the outlaws had built a blockade that stopped striders cold. But the outlaws didn't account for grenades that could be bounced into position and then ignited. When the defeated outlaws tried to escape, they ran into a herd of korox that had been frightened by the noise. There was one outlaw who survived. He never told a soul what happened that day—but the Freelancers did.
