Cool shuppy waddling away from explosions
[The Viari Nation]
The bio plasma streaked through the void like deadly little fireflies at both of the Revanent Fleet's enemies. The admiral didn't have to give orders as the ships were already moving out of the way. Yet for all their efforts several shots still touch down on the shields around the cruisers and the capital ship, allowing the shields to flash on and off quickly according the speed of the projectiles. At the same time the spire continued to desend upon the planet, while the enemy flagship made a maneuver in order to protect what looked like a gateway for the rest of their fleet. At the same time a steady stream of transports made their way from the surface and the space station to any of the five Viari ships in orbit, bravely swerving in and out of fire in order to avoid a quick death. Only some made it. A report came in to the admiral's console.
"The Intrepid and the Sovereign both hit, shielding at 85%. Our own shields are at 95%. Should we begin boarding actions?"
The admiral shook his head, "negative. Continue the current plan of action, but pull our fighters back slightly. How goes the evacuation?"
"We've recovered 35.64% of our movable assets on the ground. The rate had slowed with the fighting but still held steady."
The admiral looked at the enemy flagship, and hit an icon reporting a large energy build up on it. "Prepared the Shroud and put it on standby. Have the Intrepid and the Dauntless move to cover the station. Move all other ships so that there's something between that flagship and us."
The ships were already in motion before the sentence was finished, still firing many of the range weapons at the larger enemy vessels. All of the fleet's thrusters were burning when the acknowledgment came through. "Aye sir. Should I let planet side begin the countdown now?"
"Not yet, with luck we won't need one." However, the admiral gave a careful look at the spire's progress onto the watery planet. Just a little farther until touch down, just a little longer.
