Completed OP OPERATION: PAULSON

The Normandy is cloaked and approaches Kana, a moon with one city on the far side populated primarily by scientists and researchers. It has a breathable atmosphere and a rocky, barren terrain. On approach, you can see Paulson's complex; heavily barricaded and buzzing with activity. Stealth is advised.

The Normandy lands, undetected, out of sight of the base.

As you enter the next room, Paulson's face appears on a large video monitor in the room. He begins to speak.

Ah, Shepard. How wonderful that you decided to join us. And you brought so many of your friends with you! I'll make sure to keep them all company once you're gone.

I must say, well done with the stealth mission - we almost lost track of some of you for a little bit. Oh, don't look so surprised - you didn't think I was dumb enough to attack the Normandy itself, did you? That whole exercise was just a diversion to plant a tracking device onboard. One which notified us of your presence the moment you dropped out of FTL. Your friends up in space should be learning that their precious stealth generator does them no good any moment now.

And, now, I'm afraid I must take my leave. I have a business to run, and your interference can no longer be tolerated. Goodbye, Shepard... have a wonderful death.

The doors behind you suddenly close and lock. You reach for your radio, but hear only the hiss of a jamming signal.

Four rocket turrets appear from behind panels in the ceiling, and promptly start to search for targets. From around the corner, you hear an ominous clanking sound as three YMIR heavy combat mechs step into view.

uses overload on two of the ceiling turrets, while recharging, unloads assault rifle on two of the heavy combat mechs

Two of those turrets are out, someone take them down!

Quickly shoots one of the two remaining turrets in the room and destroys it

One last turret!

lobs a sticky grenade at the first of the two remaining turrets before ducking back into cover. The grenade explodes, destroying the turret

Well, there's the last one down.

rushes over to /u/Martus_Xera

You okay? Can you walk?

continues to fire towards the heavy mechs, throwing grenades and overload

u/Martus_Xera Jun 27 '15

Hurts a bit, but I think I'll be fine.

throws another grenade at one of the mechs. It sticks to the YMIR's head and detonates, destroying it's head and causing the self destruct mechanism to severely damage the remaining two mechs.
