Despite heroic efforts, High Command's major order fell short of complete success. Out of three objectives, only two were achieved.

While we managed to secure the automaton database and limit bot territorial expansion, the Terminid Research Preserve remains a vulnerable target. Security forces have doubled down, ensuring vital research continues uninterrupted at the Xeno Entomology Center. Stay sharp, Helldivers. There's no room for complacency. Meanwhile, urgent intel updates are rolling in. Our friends at the Xeno Entomology Center report imminent Terminid attacks on gloom-adjacent planets.

If you're stationed near these hotspots, prepare for immediate deployment. As for the automaton database, decryption has revealed a crucial Jet Brigade staging ground. Our analysts are working around the clock, but it seems the Jet Brigade is recovering faster than anticipated. Now to look at the gains and loses. Fact Bay is liberated. Thanks to the bravery of 8,716 Helldivers, the Terminids have been ousted, and our troops are redeploying to new threats. Super Earth salutes their valor.

Blistika and Mentoria, however, suffered crushing defeats to the automatons. Despite valiant efforts, our forces had to retreat. High Command has ordered 202 troops to prepare for a counteroffensive on Blistika and 548 to retake Mentoria. We won't let these losses go unavenged. At Marfark, Helldivers secured a decisive defense, driving back the automatons and holding firm with 7,373 troops now reassigned.

Similarly, Zaniya Prime stands strong after a hard-fought victory, with 16,688 troops remaining vigilant. Demiurge saw a massive automaton assault, but our 13,255 Helldivers secured yet another victory. Keeping the planet firmly under Super Earth's control. On Pandian 44, Helldivers earned a strategic win, liberating the planet with 12,942 troops securing the area. And to cap it off, G'Krux was liberated from the Terminids with 30,061 troops ready to deploy to new fronts.

These victories showcase our indomitable spirit and unwavering resolve. Onward for Super Earth. On a lighter note, Helldiver Squad TNT, this couple made headlines for braving the automaton scourge on Halloween. Against all odds, they emerged victorious, navigating chaos while donning Halloween-themed. Watched them as they dive headfirst into the depths of Hell to take on their most frightening challenge, using a loadout that they drew from a foggy-filled witch's calderon.

From hordes of demonic bugs or murderous cyborgs to treacherous terrain, they're pushing bravery to new limits. Can they emerge victorious, or will we succumb to the horrors that await them? Watch to find out. That wraps up today's Wartime Bulletin. Today's Wartime Bulletin was packed with critical updates, breaking news, and a look into our latest triumphs and challenges.

This was Rick Bones signing off. Stay vigilant, Helldivers, and fight on for Super Earth! Now, back to the music.

You have rated the top 100, starting with Jones and the gang and their new song called Clock in Blues. I'm Jessica, your morning DJ. On dreams I've drowned, unseen struggle, misunderstood grind, same old story, hope hard to find. Job lines, rejections, repeat again, stuck in this never-ending spin. 60-hour slogs, no cheer or praise, hands rough, lost count of the days. Manager strolls by lost in the clouds, my sweat builds his castle's proud.

Organization slips through my grasp, files and plans fade like forgotten past. Failure's voice creeps close and near, order lost, chaos whispering clear. Clock ticks echo, chatter runs steep, steel toes march through the endless grind. Rap meets twang, rhythm intertwined, why stay bound to these unpaid dreams? Bills don't wait, life ain't what it seems, layoff shadow every restless night. Dreams grow dimmer, with each hard fight, no spotlight shines for the hands that build.

Mind worn thin, ambitions killed, chasing dreams that fade to gray. Hopes once bright now slip away, labor lost in a world so fast. Praying for breaks that never last, Clock in blues, weights on my chest, lost in this town that won't let me rest. Pick up trucks under neon light, struggles unseen, working all night. Building this world, unacknowledged fight, invisible labor, out of sight. Rinse, repeat, hustle and grind, bread bought with pieces of my mind. Thanks for listening.
