- "Assholes. But at least we get to shoot to kill now."

The Stranded Raid on Merris Farm took place fourteen weeks after the Sinking of Jacinto.
Order of Battle[]
Raid on the Farm[]
An unknown number of Stranded attacked Merris Farm which was owned by Dilland Jonty. They killed him and his dogs[1] and set his house and barns on fire[2] before retreating into the forest.
COG Response[]
A King Raven that was on patrol spotted the blaze and reported it to the CIC. The COG sent more Ravens to fly overhead along with four Armadillos carrying six Gears including Delta-One and a fire truck. When they arrived, Sgt. Marcus Fenix directed the squads to spread out and find the Stranded who attacked the farm while he and Delta searched for Jonty. The fire truck concentrated on putting the house fire out as the Gears searched. Pvt. Augustus Cole found Jonty's body, laid out with his dogs, each one shot and with their throat slit to leave a message. The Gears were angry and headed out to join in the search for the Stranded. Marcus realized that the COG was going to be forced to protect every isolated farm on the island.[3]
