A patrol of Remnant PDF is marching around the forests of Vale. They were sent there to investigate a reported disturbance.

Private 1: Sir, we have been marching for hours. What does command think we are even going to find?

Sergeant: Emperor only knows what. Make sure to keep your comlinks open with basecamp. They need to know about whatever we find.

Privates 1,2,3,4: Yes sir.

They march for about fifteen minutes and then they hear a growling.

Sergeant: Squad, have your weapons trained on that bush.

Privates 1,2,3,4: Yes sir.

Sergeant: In the name of the Emperor, come out with your hands up.

At that moment a Grimm Ursa leaps from the bush and kills the sergeant. The four privates open fire and the beast is cut down.

Private 2: What the fuck was that?!

Private 1: I don't know, some kind of animal?  Let's just get back to camp.

They then hear another low growl and they see a dozen of red eyes staring at them.

Private 3: FUCKIN RUN FOR IT!

They try to run but they are all mauled by the Grimm.

Meanwhile, at the command bunker, an officer hears the screaming and he is alarmed.

Lieutenant: Captain, we have a situation.

Captain: (Slightly hungover) What is it, lieutenant?

Lieutenant: That patrol we sent out, it was destroyed.

Captain: Partizans?

Lieutenant: Unlikely, they commented that it was some kind of animal that attacked them.

Captain: This is above my pay grade. I'm going to report to the colonel on this one.

The captain and the lieutenant write up their reports and they deliver them to the colonel.

The colonel reads the reports and he is also worried. He then writes up a report of his own and sends it along with the captain's and the lieutenant's reports to the general. The general is equally worried so he writes up his own report and sends them to Moss along with the other reports.

Moss is worried but he has seen this kind of thing before. He also knows that YN has some experience with fighting them.

Moss: Your majesty, we have a problem.

YN: Please say that it is something small.

Moss: Regrettably it is not. The Grimm are back.

YN: So that must mean that Salem is back.

Moss: I fear so. However, if we act quickly we can launch a preemptive strike.

YN: But where would we strike?

Moss: I believe Commander Grey has the answer for that.

Grey enters the room and puts a map on the table.

Grey: Your majesty, a portal has opened in the forest near to where that patrol was ambushed. It is too small for our more fun toys like titans, but it is big enough for anything knight sized and smaller.

Moss: Titans are not toys, they are multi-billion dollar fighting machines blessed by the Omnissiah.

Grey: I understand that now, Lord General Inquisitor Moss. But we could strike them before they strike us.
