Meanwhile, Thraxx had tired of waiting, and had placed himself on a cliff where he could look over the entire Cabal base. He lay down, and placed the Longbow beside him. He then grabbed a pair of binoculars from transmat, and started to observe the Cabal base through them. One of the first things that came to his attention was a large tower, placed almost in the middle of the base. From the looks of it, it appeared to be the command center. This was further reinforced by the fact that there was nearly four times as many guards around it than in the rest of the base. Thraxx continued to scout, and discovered what seemed to be a vehicle depot, with four landing pads on top, five large gates, all of them closed indicating that the Goliaths the depot contained inside were still docked, and finally, twenty smaller gates, of which five were open. Another thing Thraxx took note of was the location of the base itself. It seemed like the Cabal had simply dug a very large and wide hole in the ground, and then built the foundation in the hole. There were three sets of walls surrounding the main base, a tall one on the outer side, built to hold up the compact mud around the base, a lower in the middle, and an even taller one close to the base. Thraxx also noted that between the walls, the Cabal had dug trenches. He then saw the Legionary Cev had followed to the base.

"So you'll report to your superiors, eh? Can't have that happening, can we?" Thraxx took up his Longbow and deployed a tripod mounted on it, kneeling behind the large sniper rifle. Thraxx praised the Traveler for not putting any mud on the cliff, and then he quickly lined up the shot. The first round struck the running Legionary in the leg, shattering his kneecap and causing him to fall to the ground. Thraxx first thought the Cabal soldier was dead, but then he saw it rising up again, continuing its descent towards the base. By now, Thraxx was sure that the base guards had seen the running Legionary, but he had no choice. He had to finish it. The second round from the Longbow hit the limping Cabal right in its head, and oil and shattered plasteel spewed outwards. The Legionary stopped right in its track and fell to the ground, oil mixing in with the mud.
