Berkhoff's team gets a fifth man, Dare Kochak, who proves to be much of a nuisance. The team is assigned to a night-time airdrop on a Balarant fortress balanced in the middle of Manid Gorge. The mission is vital; an elite Gilgamesh Army division is also passing through the gorge as part of a major offensive in the planet. The base defenders are alerted as the team lands and takes them out. Kochak is assigned to take out all Balarant Fatty ATs inside the base.
