".. I.. c-can't..."
She backs up from the line a bit.

Brank
"You can do it, just don't look down..."

Ultranova
The off-voice doesn't answer, it seems he/she is content with the outcome...

Deep in the station, Oberflottenkommandant and Grand Master of the Witchers Heinrich sits in his quarters, thinking about the officers words...

Ultranova

boombox

"Well, you only signed a Non aggression Pact with them... I'd say just leave it as it is and if we uncover anything we'll let you guys know right after we tell the R-UPA...."

"I have a feeling we're gonna need a lot of luck...."

Namek

Ultranova

You notice a strange unexpected signature in space, a rapid change of values... It appears a portal is starting to open closeby, perhaps the small fleet preparing to move away form here...

It seems they gave their location away on their own, without that intent.

Brank

"I-i'll t-try.."
she grabs the handlebar, and closes her eyes tight as she pushes off.

boombox

Brank
The handlebar slowly brings her over, witu a slight surrrrrrr being heard. No sparks, it seems the wheel was still intact.

On the other side Hans catched her and helped her up...
"You alright?"

He looks up at the almost dark sky:
"We need to hurry."

Ultranova

Namek

The SWAT ships, designed for pure speed, fly towards the portal as fast as they can. Meanwhile the Envoy Corvette has jumped off...

(Let's continue this in another thread)

Brank

boombox
"Yeah. Lets go."

boombox

Brank
They continue over large grassy planes until reaching the foot of the mountain range... After a bit of going up they reach a cave entrance, and Hans gets out the pistol and a flashlight...

"Zhere could be a bear in here, but its zhe best spot we can get..."

Brank

boombox she grabs the rifle off her back and looks around.

boombox

Brank
After a quick check the cave indeed is empty...

"No fire tonight... I'll take over the first watch, sleep well."

He rolls out the furs for her..

Brank

boombox
She lays down
"Goodnight, and thank you."
she drifts off to sleep.

A strange ship warps into the edge of the Regime's territory, it doesn't appear to have any weaponry

It is hailed by the nearest GSR outpost:
/Transmission:/
"Guten Tag, state your origin, destination, and allegiance."
/Transmission End/

Brank
She is woken up by a very tired Hans at dawn...
"Can you keep an eye out now?"

LeftHandofGod
On all affected planets:
/Planetwide Transmission:/
"Alarmstufe Rot! Bombardement! Verteidigungsplan 'Brennender Himmel!'"
/Planetwide Transmission End/

All citizens and soldiers run inside and underground, and suddenly...

the whole atmosphere is ablaze, The planet is burning, melting away the projectiles, completely burning away everything in its path...

(There is a reason why my city worlds are called fortress worlds... the cities are underground. And the mining planets, well the resources and people are underground.)

/Transmission:/
"Do not worry, you have helped us more than many of our allies. Zhey are only wasting resources attacking us. Thank you again."
/Transmission End/

@boombox
In the wake of the devastating loss at Schwalbe, The Dawn decides to take a different tack, and resurrect yet another horror from the days of the Old Imperium...

On industrial and civilian worlds all across the GSR, small hyperspace rifts open up inside atmospheres and spit out swarms of capsules that rain down from the skies with their deadly world-killing cargo.

G4L4XY

LeftHandofGod wouldn’t there be something to prevent that if the faction keeps civili- oh wait this is Lefty...

Drakador_Chaos

G4L4XY
Well, this is likely the result of interdiction being apparently completely useless against 90% of the factions, can´t say it´s not their own fault.

ComradeShiba

@boombox

A ship warps in the system and sends a transmission:
//Transmission Start//
We request our withdrawal from this war. We are thinly spread and our industry can't do much..It will take days to replace the destroyed ships...And i got a bad feeling about this.. We will suffer high casualties. Our withdrawal doesn't end our alliance if you accept so...
//Transmission End//

ComradeShiba

//Transmission Start//
We will join soon again, stronger... Our pleasure to help.

Even as the capsules melt, they disperse their deadly cargo which falls in force fields through the fire unharmed until it hits the surface, a glimmering black rain. Upon impact, the force fields vanish, and the black sheets start eating into the planets...

Brank

boombox
"Yeah" she yawns and gets up, taking the rifle and sitting at the front of the cave.
"Sleep well Hans."

boombox

LeftHandofGod
Suddenly on a lot of planets the black matter is thrust out of the ground, on some planets farther than others, and flung out into space, where it is held in place by some unknown force...

Fort_Master_Gustav
/Transmission:/
"Ah, your territory must have been sharing a border with the Dawn Empire, which we annexed. Please hold a minute, a Stuka squadron will lead you to our nearest outpost..."
/Transmission End/

Moments later a few signals are picked up, the Stuka squadron closes in..
