While the naval group outside Saicine continued securing ASR-003, Golden Eagle's southern formations left the Colony that same morning and began moving toward Silverpeak.
They followed the reopened roads toward the old intersection outside Grefort.
The sign was still there.

Silverpeak City - 60 km

Joseph Brandon looked over the Radar display inside the Battalion Armored Command Vehicle (BACV).
"How long for the sixty?"
"If the road is clear and usable, under two hours, sir."
"And the air?"
A Radio Operator inside the BACV passed the latest report forward.
"Raptors still have the approaches. Sporadic gunfire has been detected farther inside Silverpeak, but nothing moving toward us."
"Anything around the installation?"
"No major changes. A few more vehicles and people than before."
Brandon glanced toward the road again.
"Keep watching it. We don't need to poke them before we know who they are."
"Yes, sir."
Brandon shifted the route farther south.
