The Venata ships continue their onslaught, while the Harvester moves slowly across the field, consuming the debris, both of battle and what remains of the planet.
The Harvester Opens up, revealing the majority of the Venata fleet, allowing the remaining Shorners to finish off the remaining enemies.
The Beacon (Deltas' Endgame) COMPLETED
- Edited
Fort_Master_Gustav Redford's Group records this massive event from afar, though the large amount of vessels arriving start to worry Redford's main groups. Soon, a spotter discovers that one of the ships was a ship design similar to the ones from Jking. Reason left the building on the Commander's Deck.
FIRE!!
Currrrrrrr-clu-clunk (The sound of shells being loaded)
BOOOM
30 Inch shells rocket through space, though range definitely had a factor in inaccuracy. Out of the first 300 shells, only 160 go through. The deltas crack as easy as wet paper being torn apart. The high-caliber guns first volley take down anywhere from 10-15 Icosahedrons, the sides of the shapes being turned into dents, craters, and massive fractures with holes going through the entire vessels.
Further away from the dangers of the battlefield, a small fighter-esque sized ship appears and observes the events from afar before entering cloak. (Just to say I am here)

The cannon fire gives away the position of the Redford fleet. Whilst the operators have no problem in dodging the shells, the facilities, naturally immobile, don't meet the same fate. The mass of the shells is too great to desintegrate in time, and thus, the molten remains of the large-calliber ordinance rips through the masses of metal, organisms and shielding, causing sparkling detonations as they thread along.
The Operators fly erratically, almost impossible to hit them at this range without relativistic weaponry. They dispense their antimatter beams from far away, the distance making them more of antimatter "showers" than focused ordinance delivery.
The shells that go towards the megastructure simply aren't powerful enough to get too close to it, slowly they are atomized until nothing of them remains due to the light of the Beacon.
The final remains of the planets lock into place, the beam of light connecting them to the center of the galaxy clearly visible. The Beacon seems to recognize the completion of the operation, as a thunderous wave of energy starts to pulsate. The first blast throws away the defensive facilities around The Beacon, and the remains of the Child, scattering them around, though still keeping the same centricity pattern.

Within Venata ships, a chant begins to rise in a language which can only described as "Incoherent Noise" as the Harvester begins to move slowly towards the enemy fleet, any impacts on the Harvester seems to be nearly ineffective, as the absolutely massive ship prepares to engulf its enemies.

FangTheCat One of the commanders notice that this vessel seems to have organic properties, and the fleet does a temporary retreat. As they get to a safe distance, they change the shells to be incendiary, as these shells usually work with hardy organic material. These incendiary shells pack enough flammable and potent matter to burn down a whole city with a few salvos. Returning back into the fight and at a range where this Harvester would take some time to reach the group, they unleash multiple rounds into it, A vessel this large means all 300 shells pound the creature.
The massive harvester reacts by redirecting the majority of its energy to shields, extending the distance of which they project from the ship and its Strength. Several Condra spires are launched from within the behemoth, impacting the walls, spreading a smooth green biological shell over the ship's front.
(for reference, The size of the Harvester is More than enough to Easily hold the entire Venata fleet, including the 5 new 16km long ships that were amalgamated, with the inside still seeming empty.)
(Although the Venata only have 5 of them. total. and the others are nowhere near here.)
"Do.. Not.. Run.. From Fate."

FangTheCat The fleet does not receive the message but instead launches that missiles flank the rear of the vessel, hitting its organic material with incendiary missiles. While this is happening, the fleet's commander decides to take a different route and decides to check the fleet's coordinates, and jumps. A more, well, nuclear route. Although unknown to the vessel, large nuclear missiles designed for taking out large vessels (No, seriously. These things absolutely WRECK anything bigger than a patrol boat. Anything smaller is basically turned into metal fragments), and start the absurdly long trek to the Harvester vessel. These missiles also have kinetic capabilities, but it's only because of such a long trek that these missiles carry as much momentum as a railgun slug (Cause little to no gravity in space).
The Harvester moves slowly, and suddenly a large energy signature is picked up as the incendiary missiles near.. The Harvester disappears..
Less than A Moment Later, the Harvester reappears in a burst of energy behind the enemy fleet, with the broadside facing them, close enough to scrape an enemy ship.. It's clearly visible now that the Harvester is Hundreds of Kilometers in size..
"My.. Void. Rail.. Is more adaptive.."
(Fun fact: Harvesters are some of the only Venata who refer to themselves as "My" and "I" instead of "Our" and "We.")
(also. That missile there is pretty cool looking.. I wanna see what it can in-game.)
FangTheCat (The fleet left...Y do you think they are launching nuclear missiles?)

(my bad. misread there.)
Edit: my brain is still tired and I myself am having trouble concentrating..
SO... IT... BEGINS.....
The Beacon unleashes another massive wave of energy, it seems to do so in regular intervals. However, this one is answered by... something else. Perhaps the purpose of the Deltas, after all. However, this phenomena does not answer imemdiatly, it'll take a little bit to come, but so it begins.
The color on the center starts to slowly shift from the incandescent blinding white to a more tame-er gold. The effects of the interdiction start to spread through the battlefield, as well as small collumns of golden light appear around the place. These collumns shoot out of nowhere and to nowhere, vertically, and soon dissapear back again.
Heavy ammounts of interference basically cut all communications surrounding the area of the Beacon, as anomalous readings seem to explode off the charts. The interdiction field's randomness seems to slowly rise up, its effects becoming slightly macroscopic.
The Harvester starts a Void Rail after collecting the remaining Venata warships... The Harvester Bursts forward, retreating to allow the Deltas to do as they wish.
Upon the Venata leaving, the Condra spires immediately begin to slowly rot, with any affected object slowly returning to its normal performance.
