The Lanios Defense Force has located human survivors of the planetary raids in an enemy prison compound east of Norhark.  They are concerned about the enemy's plans for these survivors.  Following preliminary scouting, they have planned a prison break and you are needed to assist in an extraction of these colonists.  They are themselves not useful but they may have interesting information for me, I mean Planetary Command.

Your insertion point is south of the compound, outside the enemy's defensive perimeter.  Following your insertion, a rescue shuttle will be dispatched to await your elimination of the perimeter defenses.

After you have cleared a path to the prison compound, the shuttle will move to evacuate the humans being held there.  Defend the vulnerable shuttle until the evacuation of the human survivors is complete and the shuttle has cleared the enemy's defenses.  Make sure there is no damage done to the prison until the humans are evacuated.

I, and of course the Planetary Command, can not emphasize enough the urgency of this mission.  Not only can valuable information regarding the Aliens be retrieved from the captured colonists but long range scans indicate a movement of heavy equipment toward the prison area.  It is feared that the enemy may be constructing some manner of interrogation or processing facility and for this reason, the human command believes that there is little time left for the captured colonists, if they are not rescued quickly.

[Terrain Conditions]  :  Wide open terrain with little predisposition for stealth movement.

[Primary Objectives]  :  Protect the Prison Compound 
                         Defend the Shuttle
                         The prisoners must survive the rescue.
