The warehouse complex became more and more intriguing to Ves. Aside from all of the unusual points that he had already ascertained, the fact that a force of roughly four-hundred mechs not just visited the site, but beefed up its defenses was very suspicious.
The warehouse complex was a poor defensive site. It was overly large and expansive. It did not hold any terrain advantage. It was vulnerable to long-ranged bombardment. It did not offer any substantial logistical support aside from offering lots of supplies. Yet these raw materials needed to be brought to an industrial facility in order to be of use. It was much harder to make use of feeder stock in field conditions.
"The unknown paramilitary organization is not entrenching the warehouse complex because they wish to use it as their new base." Commander Casella Ingvar noted as she studied the projection in the command center. "Their overall approach suggests that they are merely setting up a temporary forward operating base."
