Fire Across the Universe

[MuchPsykers]

-Drop ship-


"General. We've spotted a large concentration of pods dropping to the surface." The Pilot radioed TJ.


-TJ-


TJ looked up at the sky as he took out his smart binoculars. Scanning the sky until he saw a large cluster of objects falling from the sky towards the surface. "Yea. I see them. We have to keep moving." TJ said turning around. "You! Unit 400, 504, and 888. Take Alpha, Tetra and Delta companies and find a path for us towards the spires."


"Yes Sir!" The officer said as the soldiers began to mount up onto the three tanks as the tanks began to drive single file back into the forest, leaving the other half of the UGF search team still in the opening. As TJ watched the last tank disappeared into the forest, a familiar energy began to tingle his senses. TJ quickly turned around as he pointed his handgun in the forest's direction. "Are you alright sir?" One of the soldiers asked.


"Yea. Yea. Everything's fine." TJ said using his Psonic energy to scan the surrounding areas. "Not really." He turned around as he saw the Synbios and the NSA. "Stand down." Tj gave the simple order to his remaining troops as the soldiers obeyed. TJ hopped down as he walked towards the NSA. "Probably here to look for the same god damn signal." TJ said to himself as he continued to walk towards the two factions. His black uniform which seemed to lack any visible armour and his jacket which flailed around from the slight breeze. He took off his black combat glasses as not to provoke any hostilities. "What are your stories? EH?" TJ said to both the Synbios and the NSA.

-NSA Reconnaisance-


Rho, the commander of the recon team looks at TJ. "Same here as you did, picking up that signal and we're here as fast as we could.." He contact Angelus as soon as he looks up at the sky for a while before he noticed it, "Hey, Boss.. We got a problem.. Many pods are coming towards us" Angelus replies calmly from the mothership, "Catch the sound signal, transmitter and anything that emits from that spire and get out from there.." Rho nodded while ordering his infantry to get some sonar and sound recorder in order to be analyzed later once they exfil from the planet.

 

[Lord Anubis]

-NSA Reconnaisance-
Rho lead the troops out from the jungle and they saw UGF tanks and infantries that outnumbers them, "Wow.. 6 tanks.. Seems they like to pounce the trees apart" Even it's large Rho remain his composure as five recon terradynes, a light fast mobile vehicle came out from the forest unlike UGF that uses big guns to recon, NSA prefers doing it right by sending light vehicle so they can escape quickly if the spire turns out to be hostile towards any faction that comes to them.


"Remain alert.. We don't know what kind of that thing is.." He looks at the spire while keeping caution as Angelus kept observing it through NSA Infantry's recorder helmet from NSA Mothership. "Set formation that can be withdrawn anytime" Rho nodded and NSA recon quickly set up formation to enable to escape anytime.


- Kodiak Frigate -


"!? What was that thing..?" They saw some rocks from atmosphere, "W-Whoa! Three of them are going to us! Back up back up!" the frigate quickly reversed and destroy any stones that are went straight to the kodiak, "Back to the LZ" The kodiak returned to the NSA Landing Zone immediately for additional defenses.

Several of the pods landed with a loud bang sending debri into the air. Swarms of 3 soldiers came from the pods spreading out in all directions killing any life forms they could find born from the planet. Then one cluster of pods converged into one large one crashing into a hill just outside of the jungle. It sprouted a large spire like structure. In began to dig into the ground expanding into a organic structure of some kind.


[Orbit above planet]


Some of the pods were destroyed the worriors within life signatutes lost to the females mind. Her eyes opened glowing a bright purple" HOW DARE THEY ATTACK THE SWARM!!!* she yelled in anger. One of the cruisers turned aft, as there plasma cannons flaredd up with bright red light. The ship aimned at the ship, that fired upon her soldiers.

 

[MuchPsykers]

-UGF teams-


"Uh. What do we do sir?" The captain asked through the built in radio in his helmet backing away. "Get out." TJ said turning around. The captain did not have to be told twice as he immediately began to order the other three tanks to move out from the clearing as the soldiers rushed onto the tanks. TJ sighed as he looked up at the trees . "Fuck. Captain. Get as far away from the clearing as you can. Got It? I'll meet up with you soon."


-NSA-


Nothing would have been heard from the spires as they emitted nothing. Although, it seemed as though the spires were connected to something underground.


=Jungle=


In the forest, there were rustling as trees were shaking. There was a presence. And it seems as though the large amount of fergein activity could have possibly have stirred up the animals native to the planet.


-TJ-


"I don't think that's going to work." TJ said to the NSA as they attempted to listen to the spires. "From the air, the spires are not in any formations. They're probably just things left behind by the species." TJ said before felt a sharp pain in his mind. "Ah Fuck!" Tj shouted in pain.

 

[SirFlabberghaspy]

-Synbiotic Squad, Planet-


Noting TJ, Czec was the first of the Synbiotic squad to approach both him and the NSA.


"Scouting to find resources for Flotilla. Found signal, Flotilla gave go-ahead to investigate. Simple as that, alien", Czec would respond to TJ in his deep robotic tone, his fellow squad-members lowering their rifles as he spoke. The red-colored Synbio stood at about 2 and a half meters, his right shoulder painted with a long white stripe going down it. The three retina dots that served as eyes blinked as the tall synthetic stared down at TJ.


The shaking didn't seem to affect the leader, but he clearly knew it had happened. The squad was ready to engage, and hopefully didn't get destroyed in the process. Trigger-fingers steady, the rest of Czec's squad was ready for orders.

 

[MuchPsykers]

@Lord Anubis


There was a disturbance as the higher form female would have felt a sharp pain in her mind as she receive the same vision as TJ. A giant 80 meter tall monster, as tall as a skyscraper. And nothing but whispers as the voices began to sound angry and finally disappearing.

Spoiler

<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_07/monsterss.jpg.8c5ee87545d68999d832aaa9c584512b.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="60516" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_07/monsterss.jpg.8c5ee87545d68999d832aaa9c584512b.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

Whatever the vision was, the planet seemed to be alive.


-TJ-


TJ decided not to ask if anyone else had received the same evil face like vision with suspicions. He looked at the Synbios from the NSA, "So, you want whatever this scource of the signal is too? To what? further your race's tech?"

 

[Ramero]

- NSA Reconnaisance -


Rho looks at TJ, "Alright, let's get out of here before the third party arrived here.." NSA Soldiers quickly withdraws to the forest and goes somewhere while keeping distance from the LZ. A raptor sniper still staying behind to keep the spire recorded, "I'll stay for a while" Jacob nodded acknowledging it, "If you find anything that lives in the forest, take the sample unnoticedly.." The raptor nodded, "With pleasure sir.." He continue to remain on alert while Jacob quickly uses tier 2 in order to reinforce the base defenses in order to prepared for full combat if things goes worse. Rho quickly went into hiding to make a recon on third party, he want to investigate the spire but he have to wait and see first.


- Dropship -


The dropships quickly goes into the atmosphere from the CSS Cruisers and immediately deploying M-66 Scorcher Turret in order to shore up defenses. Some recon Terradyne have arrived on the LZ as they are standingby for any engagement.

 

[SirFlabberghaspy]

-Czec-


"For knowledge, alien. Knowledge could help the Flotilla, or help us remember", Czec would respond blankly, looking around with its retina. The Synbiotic captain would turn to his squad-mates, and the group would communicate within two seconds, letting out super-fast beeps in different pitches. Czec only shook his head, before turning back to the NSA and TJ.


-Onboard the Inquisitoris-


Arquis gazed through the large holo-glass, staring out into the space beyond. He had conquered many systems within the three years he had been awakened, and the probes he had sent out had yet to detect any synbiotic life-forms or anything of interest. The king impatiently tapped his right foot, his hands clasped behind his back as he awaited some sort of information. Feeling the oncoming presence of his Fleet Master and another Officer, Arquis turned to face the already opening dura-steel door.

Spoiler

"Any news on the probes?", the Darkonite would question as the Fleet Master and Master Engineer fell into their salutes. Returning to a relaxed position after a second of holding the salute, the alien Fleet Master would nonchalantly approach his King, drawing out a holo-screen. The glowing white piece of technology flashed to life as it was brought mere inches from Arquis' face.


"For you, my lord", the Fleet Master would inform slyly. Although nervous, the Master Engineer in the background also grew relaxed, his hands clasped behind his back. The wrinkles in his dark green uniform were only evidence of his hard work repairing the returned drones, each had gathered some kind of damage, whether it was to the wiring or the scanners of the strange vessel.


Unamused with the Fleet Master's display of confidence, King Arquis would take the holo-screen from the alien, gazing down at the information. It would appear that they had picked up some sort of signal in a nearby galaxy, and that they found evidence of the Flotilla. Excellent.


"I'm impressed, Master Engineer", Arquis responded as he gazed over at the nervous human, before turning to his alien Fleet Master. Handing him back the holo-screen, Arquis gave the man his orders. "Fleet Master, prepare five Destroyer-class ships. I want you to destroy any Synbiotic forces near that planet, and to investigate that signal yourself. Any other faction is neutral, understand?"


"Yes, my lord", the Fleet Master would relay with a bow as he turned, making his way towards the nearest elevator. With an aura of disdain, Arquis dismissed the Master Engineer and went back to meditating to the view of space. His space.

 

[MuchPsykers]

-TJ-


"Listen. Like it or not. We are all looking for the same thing. Best if we work together. For now." TJ said to RHO and Czec. "It would be easier if we all just coordinated our efforts." TJ then looked at Czec. "Remember what?" TJ then pulled out his hologram as he looked at all the reports from the capital ship. "I don't know about you but according to my calculatons, these spires are just relics. If these were the source, I would have been digging them up already."


-Revenants-


@Lord Anubis


The pods would have landed near a large concentration of grey spires.


-Hydrax-


@Fezzes


The Hydrax would have found that a large contingent of the factions were gather in a clearing of the jungle.


-The Leprechaun & Black Beard's Ship, Kraken-


@HelloSushimi


The source of the signals were from a barren planet and shortly after, a high pitched screech from the planet surface was emitting sound waves pinpointing the exact location of the source of the screech. Other faction's ships have already arrived attracted to the source of the signal as well. Being humans the crew and dante would have immediately noticed the UGF navy had been dispatched and the UGF's presence would have been worth a lot more since the human race was humiliated in the grueling 15 year long war against hte much better equipped UGF.


-Destroyer-class ships-


@SirFlabberghaspy


The destroyers would have seen that other factions have already reach the planet before them. And that most of them were already on the surface looking for the source of the signal. The UGF had the biggest presence out of all the other factions. To any race that knows the Centrion species, it would seem like an honor to see their military in action. As the centrions are the oldest and yet the most menacing race out of all. Being able to climb to the top of the food chain during their Sovereign Colonies times tens of millions of years ago. And bringing force an age of fear and discipline across thee known universe and the S.C would carry out espionage even towards their own allies, teaching empires their place. But with the recent Bloody New Years war, the UGF had received very negative views for their incredibly terrible and inhumane tactics of war against the human species.

 

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

-Expedition Team-


The expedition was lead by Sergeant Fizzik Fsaal, at least in theory, anyway. The scientists were really in charge, as they were telling the soldiers where to go and what to do. At least he had authority over the other soldier. Currently it was him and the other soldier who were pushing their way through the jungle and knocking over trees, the scientists with arm-packs so that they could operate equipment following behind. Even with their full height of 15 metres, they couldn't see over the canopy until they pushed down some trees. They could now see the spires looming in the distance. The source was coming from right over there. So far the wildlife was pathetic. Easily dispatched by the turret-packs the soldiers were wearing, giving them some increased ranged ability. The turrets fired highly concentrated and directed plasma.


They were making good headway into the thick jungle, and the jungle started to slightly thin out as they went further towards the object. Behind him he heard a whining noise coming from one of the scientists' instruments. One of them called up to him "We're detecting some more lifeforms gathered in a clearing about two clicks forward. Might be the other races we know are here." The scientist was right, and surely they would have heard the crashing of trees by now. At that moment the ground shook as if with an earthquake. It soon abated, but everyone was now a little more aware and on edge. This planet had a very eerie feel to it. By now they were so close to to the source, that speculation grew if the lifeforms were already at the source. "Distance to the source?" "500 metres." "To the lifeforms?" "Roughly the same, and the same direction." That wasn't good.


At last, he pushed the last layer of trees, and there was a clearing where the source was meant to be. Inside was some Centrion soldiers and their leader, who looked familiar, talking with some Synbios and some NSA. Well, time to make introductions. No longer were the Centrions enemies. He warned the soldier to stay peaceful, then turned and told the scientists what he saw. There was nothing in the centre. Nothing. No symbolic relic. No technological marvel. No great beast slumbering. Nothing. It was almost a letdown. Oh well. He waited for someone to approach him. He was aware of how intimidating the large forms of Hydrax ould be. Then he recognised who the leader of the Centrions here was. TJ, the infamously genius general. He'd seen pictures of him. Every Hydrax soldier had. He would let it be. He didn't want to be responsible for starting another war with the UGF.


-HRS Invention-


"Captain, there's more ships here, and it looks like... Woah. The Revenent probe? It has transformed into some kind of portal, and now there's 7 Revenent ships, and they're sending ppods. Lots of pods." The Scanner Officer reported back. He nodded. Nobody really trusted the Revenents. This was no different. "Activate the ground-air defense measures. Contact Sergeant Fizzik and warn him." Everyone turned and did their duties. A shield extended in a dome a hundred metres around the ship, two anti-air turrets sprouted from the top, and small laser turrets sprouted from the hull in various places. All main entrances to the ship were closed off, and the defensive measures inside the ship went on standby.


-Expedition Team-


Fizzik got the news. He called out to everyone. "Everyone, there are Revenent Invasion Pods closing on the planet. There's a lot of them. Things could get hairy down here." He waited for a response.

 

[MuchPsykers]

-TJ-


TJ turned around as he saw them. The Hydrax. He gave a very disappointing and unwelcoming sigh as he turned his back on them and continued to chat with the NSA and the Synbios. "UGF. United Galactic Federation. You know, the guys that kicked the shit out of the pathetic HAA. I couldn't care less." Tj introduced himself. "And I am TJ Vlsona. Master General." As he silently sneered behind the hydrax's back. Pathetic. How the HAA is this gutless to the point they will send their own factions to die for them. He still remembers his campaigns against the humans. Especially against the Human's so called fortress of the sky. Their military fortress planet of Oya. Safe to say that the UGF had complete control of that sector of HAA space. "Hey. Admiral. We have Multi her eon the surface." Multi was the code that the UGF had used for the Hydrax during the war so that an elite would be immediately deployed to combat them. "I understand. I'm not planning on acting unless they provoke me first anyways."


"Anyways." TJ said turning to the Synbios and NSA. "I saw a large concentration of spires north of here. I don't know if that's the source but, there were oddly a large number of them.


-DFS Natalia-


"God dam." The Admiral cursed. "These are the times I wish our government continued the war. Keep an eye on the Hydrax ship. Any act of aggression from them, unload our eight M.A.C cannons on them. Blow their ship up. The captain nodded as he looked back at the command console.

 

[HelloSushimi]

-The Leprechaun-


"Woah, what was that sound?" James said in curiosity as he looked at the scanners. Dante noticed the UGF ship, in his Irish accent he said,


"God damnit, these pricks."


The scanners picked up Black Beards signature, James looked up at Dante.


"Dante..." said James


"Fuck me with a hairy potato. This bastard doesn't go away! We have a UGF ship, a few other ships I have no idea who they are and a crew of fucking pirates. What a great day today lads!" Dante ranted on.


-Black Beard's Ship, Kraken-


"We've found him! That Irish prick!" Black beard said in anger.


"Captain, we have several other ships surrounding this barren planet. Looks like there's a UGF ship here." one of the crew members said.


Black Beard looked with worry.


"Remain stationary! Let's see what's happening." Black Beard commanded.


-The Leprechaun-


"Such strange signatures coming from this planet." said James.


"James, speed up. We're landing on that planet." Dante ordered.


"But sir, we don't know what-"


"Just go!" Dante yelled.


The Leprechaun was speeding up, heading towards the barren planet with the mysterious signal. Ignoring the UGF and other ships in the area. Leaving Black Beard behind.

 

[Obi-Wan Kenobi]

-Expedition Team-


"Believe me. I'm not planning on provoking you. I may not like you, but I know that war with you would be disastrous." He meant it. There was a reason he was assigned to this mission, and that is that he has a cool head (by Hydrax standards) and isn't likely to attack on sight. He didn't feel the need to interact with these other races right now. He strode back to the soldier and scientists behind him, annoyance practically dripping off him. "Let's go. The spires seem to be the next interesting thing. Any other recommendations?" One of the scientists chimed in. "There's a large group of them there. North." Fizzik nodded. "That sounds like a good place to start, and I have no intentions of sitting around in the middle of a Revenant Invasion." He walked to the North edge of the clearing and waited for the other soldier to join him. As soon as he did, they started pushing through the trees again and towards the spires.


-HRS Invention-


The Hydrax crew clustered around the viewscreens, pensively waiting for what would happen. "Captain, what do we do?" The First Officer asked him. "Watch. And wait." Captain Jeebel replied, not taking his eyes off the screen for a second. They hadn't seen any of the Revenants yet, and he hoped to not see any at all. At the same time, he worried deeply for the Hydrax outside. He knew that they could hold their ground in the ship if the Revenents decided to attack it, but it would be a bloody battle, and cost at least one Hydrax life. In the meantime, there were less than half that number of Hydrax outside, and they didn't have the protection of the ship. Two were trained for fighting far better than what the crew was, but the other five had no combat training. The Hydrax were limited in number, and it took a long time for a Hydrax slain to be replaced by a newlyborn, and then another long time until it grew to adulthood. Because of this, all Hydrax are very protective of one another. This was not very different. Sending out men would be suicide, and Fizzik would be too stubborn to come back, anyway. No, he'd wait in the HRS Invention. It'd protected him before, it'll do it again. He hoped so, anyway.

 

[Lord Anubis]

The drones harvested organic life bringing it back to the main hive. Several patrols roamed the area two scouting parties of 6 drones made way to a nearby cluster of spire like structures. For now they ignored the other races present.


[aboard the cruise ship Andrea]


The female higher life form screamed, as she was filled with the image of a creature. Tarus on the other side of the gate felt the presence. He spoke to her through the gate in her mind" Calm yourself Madrea we do not know enough about the races other then the UGF. Hold your ground if the hinder you then you may strike." he said calmly. She relaxed "Very well" she said reluctantly. The weapons remained primed for some time before diminishing.

 

[Ramero]

-NSA Reconnaisance-


Rho agreed while preparing his unit that was still hiding in the forest to continue the reconnaisance, things going to be messy since Revenant forces are inbound. Their top priority is to secure the area and if possible giving the signal that the LZ can be established again around the spires. He introduced back to TJ, "Master General, i'm Tan Hai Rho.. Grand General Jacob Angelus right hand.." He prepare his sniper rifle while making a call on the situation, "Raptor, move..." three Raptor sniper start to make a move towards the spire while he ordered the remain Raptor sniper, infantries and Recon Terradyne to remain alert.


-NSA CSS Cruiser-


"So, what ITG will do anyway if we find something interesting on that spires?" The crew chat to each other as they wonder what the Intergalactic Trade Guild want if NSA find something interesting either beneath the spire or around it. "I don't know, probably they will scan the value first and then if possible they will bring it to the market again" Jacob ordered the cruiser to remain alert and weapons have been prepared for incase if something bad happens. Many factions are gathering because of the signal that comes from this planet and investigating it.

 

[SirFlabberghaspy]

-Czec-


Czec continued to nod along with their response, before he fell down in pain, gripping the sides of his head. Remember, that was all he could think about. His other Synbiotic brethren also continued to fall, until Czec looked up in dismay. Something had happened to the Spearhead!


"Must remember.. will aid the UGF...", Czec let out, letting out a metallic groan as he got back up, stumbling. Something had destroyed the Spearhead, but he had to focus on the mission at hand. If they wanted the Synbios, they'd land.


-Destroyers in Orbit-

Spoiler

The Fleet Admiral watched from the observatory deck, noting the other factions. They were only here for the Synbios, like his King had mentioned, and were lucky enough to track the Spearhead. The Fleet Admiral let out a sigh in relief that he could give his lord some good news, and raised his right hand in attention. "I want power to the forward cannons. Fire on the Spearhead. Transmitters, send out a universal neutral frequency, let the others know we're not here for them."


"Powered, sir."


There was a pause as he raised his hand further, before bringing it down, a great aura of power emitting from him as his face intensified. The feeling never got old, the power he had received working under Arquis, it would only grow!


"Fire!!"


-Synbiotic Scout Ship, Spearhead-


"Captain, we're picking up more aliens coming. We should prepare ourselves", the master engineer would call out, before his eyes widened. Four Destroyers, that didn't mean good omens, they were here for something devious.


"Sir, I've picked u-"


From the planet, and the ships nearby, the Spearhead became a orb of extremely bright light, the massive explosion literally destroying every centimeter of the ship. To alert the Synbiotic Squad, the ship sent out an emergency frequency as it blew.

 

[MuchPsykers]

-TJ-


"Better hurry then." TJ said jumping high as he landed on a branch. He then took off at a fast speed as he hopped fron one tree branch to another in the direction of the large concentration of spires. As he was, he put his combat glasses back on and took out a hand gun .


-Revenants-


The spires seemed to be nothing more than structures. But there seemed to be a massive silver wall whuch separated the jungle. The wall was massive as it loomed over the trees. There seemed to be drwaings oftall beings etched onto the walls as well in certain sectors.


-DFS Natalia-


"Neutral my ass." The admiral said looking at the destroyer vessels. The DFS Natalia, although larger in size and had the capabilities to battle them, still, there was the concern that they were here to provoke war with all factions. The admiral looked at the destroyers as simply sneered. "Admiral."The captain walked to the admiral's side. "What do you intend to do?"


"Make a statement." The admiral said. The captain nodded as he ordered a frequency to be sent to the destroyers.


"You have sent a message on the universal neutral frequency. And yet you destroy a ship immediately afterwards. The Hell did you do that?"


-Black beard.-


The UGF capital ship seemed to nothing as it was currently stationary.

 

[HelloSushimi]

-Black Beard's Ship, Kraken-


"Alright maties, a group of you go in a pod and plunder. I want you guys to have a look about this signal that's coming from this planet. If you get the chance, try and steal some things from who ever are down there, might make some cash. And don't forget, Dante is already heading towards the planet, I want him back alive!" Black Beard ordered.


Looking out the window view, Black Beard stares at the UGF ship.


Meanwhile, Dante and James start to enter the planet's atmosphere followed by a pod of pirates.

 

[Ramero]

- NSA CSS Cruiser, Shezane Ridge -


"Whoa, what was that!?" The Commander of the ship looks at the ship being destroyed by a Destroyer class ship. The Captain of the ship looks at the destroyed vessels and the destroyer that took it out, "If they are using universal frequency they could be a threat to us later.." The commander looks at the Captain, "Battle station, i want every units standingby. Send Two Vertigo Fighter and Two Firehawks to check the debris of the destroyed vessels" The Captain of the ship nodded and quickly two Vertigo Fighter attached with Light Helidyne goes with Two Firehawks to check if there are any survivors on the destroyed Vessels. "The destruction is worse.. I think none can live from that blast.." The Commander nodded while issuing another command, "Find any intact escape pods, if you find it, take it and bring it home.. We can use it for later days"


The NSA Cruisers are ready to engage anytime and full alert since the Destroyers managed to destroy Synbiotic Spearhead, either UGF, NSA or the others can be the next target.


- NSA Reconnaisance -


Rho looks up at the sky, "More companies dropping in, let's make haste.." He and several Infantry quickly goes to where the spire is as they are prepare to take the picture in order to be seen by Angelus immediately.

 

[HelloSushimi]

-Black Beard's Ship, Kraken-


Black Beard witnessed the sight of the ship explosion, he watched as fighters fly over to the wreck. In the seconds after the exolosion, Black Beard lifted up an eyebrow,


"What a blast..."


The crew members all stared as they felt inferior compared to the huge ships and cruisers that were in front of them.


"Have shields ready, let's just kick back and watch. We'll scavange any parts if they blow themselves up." he said.

-Black Beard-


The UGF capital ship opened up it's hangar doors from it's underbelly as 6 Valmden class heavy stealth destroyers

All of them still larger than a normal destroyer and frigate would be. They were close to the capital ship guarding the massive vessel. after the destruction of the synbios ship


-TJ-


TJ kept jumping on the branches before he stopped and waited for the NSA and synbios and hopefully not the hydrax to catch up. "Echo 1. Do you have visuals?"


"Yes." The pilot's voice said. "I am transferring your location to the location of the spires now sir." TJ nodded as he waited. Not long after, he had received his location as he smiled. "Only a few clicks out." "Keep alert Echo 1. There are other ships in the skies." TJ said before turning off is communications once again. "Captain. Where are you?" TJ said


"I am currently not far from your position general. We're still looking." TJ nodded slightly before relying. "Understood. Keep an eye out. I think I saw pods headed your way."


"Yes sir. The captain said before disconnecting. TJ then knelt down on the branch as he began to patiently wait for the NSA and Synbios.


"General." The Admiral's face appeared on a hologram screen. TJ immediately snapped out of his thoughts. "What is it?" The admiral looked at TJ. Sir, I think that you should exercise extreme caution. Five ships just arrived, and took out one of the faction's ships." The Admiral said. TJ narrowed his eyes. "Are you fine?"


"Yes. Yes General. I deployed our twelve escort vessels from their hangars. Just making sure to be cautious up here." TJ stood up. "Assume hostilities. They try anything, alert command back on the capital."


-Black beard pods-


The pods seemed to have landed close to where the UGF soldier's positions were. The UGF marines ran to the site as their six tanks pointed their main guns at the pods and the Marines pointed their guns at the pods.

 

[Ramero]

- NSA CSS Cruiser -


As the UGF deployed their ships, NSA Also deployed their frigate Kodiaks, each Cruiser send two of seven Kodiaks to the front in order to increase security of NSA Cruisers. The arsenals are switched to capable to fight on the space while maintain alert in order to observe while the weapons are prepared.

Spoiler

"Send the Vertigo with Helidyne attached on it.. Remain stealthed while we can track them smoothly if they engaged us" Quickly around twenty Vertigo Fighters attached with Light Helidyne take off from two NSA Cruiser and standingby on their position while The Commander of the Cruiser are still looking at the camera feed from Vertigo and Firehawk that are scanning every part of the wrecked Synbios ships. Currently the fleet are on alert since the arrival of the ships and using universal COM while destroying Synbios ships makes them going to immediate alert and decide to hold fire.

-NSA Reconnaisance-


Rho quickly pick up the pace despite the spire was around several clicks away from their position but they must get there first and secure every database or anything they can find before other parties are coming. "Man, i should call Boss to get here..." Currently Angelus is escorting the ITG's Merchant Cruiser and he doesn't know when Jacob will catch up to the orbits around this planet. "Quit whining Rho, we haven't done yet with those Trade Guild" Rho nodded, "I know Boss, i know"

-Black Beard-


Black Beard watched on as twelve UGF escort vessels came out of the underbelly of the Capital ship. As well as a few other frigates coming from the NSA.


"Men, turn on stealth and more power to shields. We shall watch. Oh, and try to avoid being blown up." Black Beard ordered his pirate crew men.


-Surface-


As the pods landed, the pirates were immediately pointed at with UGF tanks and UGF soldiers' guns. The pods remained silent until from behind, Dante walked in between the pods and walked towards the UGF marines.


"Dia duit. That's Irish for 'hello'. And a hello to you all gentlemen." Dante said bowing down.


Behind him, pirates came out of the pods with guns out, pointing at the UGF marines. Dante continued talking.


"It is seem we have a bit of a misunderstanding here my fellow gentlemen. You see, these pirates want my head, and I was simply, trying to escape from them." he said in his Irish accent.


"I am terribly sorry for the mix up, if only I wasn't so drunk on whiskey, and gotten myself caught in this... Mexican stand off. I would of been how you say..." Dante held up his arm which has a wrist device on it.


"Let me show you a magic trick, classic to us humans. Now you see me. Now you don't."


Dante activated his wrist device giving him a temporary invisibility cloak. He disappeared in front of the pirates and the UGF.

-Revenants-


Upon further scans, it seemed as though there were some more structures behind the wall.


-TJ-


TJ peaked out, hidden by the forest and the tree ranches as he looked at the scene with his binoculars. "Damn." TJ said to himself as all he could see was revenant forces on the ground and air. Any move was risky. Especially since he is alone at the moment waiting on the other factions to catch up. "Hey captain. Be careful. The revenants are here. Do not follow me, just keep searching. Understood? I'll meet up with the rest of the team later."<p><a href="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_07/57a8c3364b1e8_antiarmorrocket.jpg.78f51f4b94ee3c0f65e54b4e260ec52a.jpg" class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image"><img data-fileid="60677" src="<fileStore.core_Attachment>/monthly_2015_07/57a8c3364b1e8_antiarmorrocket.jpg.78f51f4b94ee3c0f65e54b4e260ec52a.jpg" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt=""></a></p>

-Dominion Destroyers-


As soon as the Synbios were destroyed, the Destroyers cut their signal. All communications sent their way were ignored, and the ships powered up their engines, ready to leave. Beneath one ship, a transport vessel was lowered from the belly's hangar, carrying two Legions inside. Their destination would be the planet, and then they'd call for pick-up if they succeeded. Otherwise, their job was done. The signal was second priority.
