Akio
They had landed beside a HUGE crater, something had utterly destroyed the landscape here.
Ash from presumably long since burnt trees fell onto the TIE like snow.
Through the thick fog, a large metalic structure sat smoldering at the centre of the crater.
Although hard to make out, it looked like a STE ship. specifically it was a cruiser stationed above the planet before the pulse, with its systems disabled it fell like a brick and hit the STE HQ present here around 13 Tau's including the empress escaped in shuttles before it hit, and the rest are presumed dead. From the looks of that crater, you can almost certainly remove the presumed part of that.
"Ill be back in a moment."
Akio must be putting a lot of trust in whatever could be out there, as he clearly has no weapons on him at all.
Without giving Tharix a chance to speak, he had exited into the fog.
All Tharix could do is watch as he faded into it whilst he walked in the opposite direction to the crater.
