Interesting title. I wonder if it's taken from "Aliens", when Hicks calls for a retreat during the first battle in the powerplant; "Marines, we are leaving!"
To talk to the soldiers they need to be out of combat.

<The sergeant quickly reads through the orders you've handed him, a frown coming over his face.> Look, lad, I'd love to just up and leave, but take a look out there. All of my people are fighting. Tell you what, you've come this far, you think you're up to doing me a small favor? Head out there and round up my soldiers? Tell 'em that the sergeant orders them to report back immediately. Lend them a hand if you will.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Trouble at the Altar of Sseratus
There's trouble at the altar of the snake god. The presence of the Scourge has weakened the land, <race>. This in turn has weakened the wild gods. We know that the Drakkari are taking advantage of this to do evil things to the gods. I need you to be my eyes and ears.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mopping Up
I couldn't help but overhear what you were talking to the sergeant about. That doesn't change the fact that we still have a job to do here. While you're out there, do you think you could help us to put some of those followers of Sseratus out of their misery?
