Almost Too Much Freedom in the Hallway

INCIDENT REPORT: FILED TO SUPER EARTH HIGH COMMAND

Filed By: Helldiver Rubber Duck
Designation: S.E.S. Soul of Audacity
Location: Illuminate-Controlled Planet, Level 10 Operation
Incident Type: Friendly Turret Near Fatal Encounter

Report:
While engaged in suppressive operations against a concentrated group of Voteless, Helldiver Rubber Duck took position within a narrow corridor to deliver sustained fire using the Stalwart support weapon. A defensive turret was strategically placed to provide overwatch from the adjacent angle.

However, the overwhelming number of Voteless forced them around the corner, and in the chaos, Helldiver Duck was forced to retreat backward, trapped between two walls. During this time, the automated turret continued firing through the Voteless—overpenetrating targets and sending rounds dangerously close to the reporting Helldiver.

Multiple bullets were observed passing within inches of Duck’s head and boots. The Helldiver reports a near-death level of tension, declaring, “That was the most tense I’ve ever been with a turret.” Wolf confirmed the incident, with some laughter and saying "yeah"

No casualties were sustained; however, Super Earth recommends recalibration of friendly turret targeting systems to reduce near-democratic accidents in close-quarters operations.

Conclusion: Democracy was nearly too efficient.
