The Lupidira collective

Steinfelds expression becomes grim:
"So it shall be."
He turns around, and walks back into the shuttle, the soldiers following him. It then takes off and flies back to the orbiting battle fleet.. Entering the hangar Steinfeld sprints on the bridge:
"Green Light to Operation Wurmloch!"
"Jawohl!"

Brank Jenwuf Suddenly the wall Lance and the others are in explodes as a massive drill worm bursts inside, Heinrich jumps out with soldiers, blockading the door to prevent the Lupidarians from getting back in, and securing the room...

"Sorry Lance, but no time."

Heinrich grabs him and drags him into the drill worm, the soldiers do the same to Allura and Matt.. They are as gentle as possible, but there just is no time to waste..
"Los, Los, Los!"
Heinrich blocks the door with a large boulder before jumping back in the drill, which backs out at incredible speeds... The exerted G-Forces rival those of jet-planes as they are dragged back to the surface by motor winch and Krupp-steel cable, behind them the tunnel collapses as miniature explosions rupture the walls..

All of this happened in less than 30 seconds, the ascend taking 20.

After arriving at the surface the worm is picked up by a shuttle and immediately brought up.

The fleet jumps out literally the second the shuttle had landed in the Hangar.

Brank
Hans rushes to Lance and the others, checking if they are ok...
"Oh mein Gott Allura, your Arm! Zhose Gott Damn Zerg, wir will rot them out! Lance are you ok?"

Jenwuf
Left behind is nothing but a message:
"There was no other way."

"..."
he does not seem happy. Like he had a plan.
"Take us home. Now."

((Well, while writing this... jeez, thanks for waiting for me to reply.))

((...i-I cant even begin to explain on how many levels that is just presuming i would let you leave, and the amount of simple physics and logic it breaks, but whatever.))

The fleet seems to have escaped alright... until they remember one of the finer details of the Lupidiran border defence program...

SSSSSSSSSCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEE!
The fleet is blasted out of FTL as the border FTL interdictors stop them from leaving, after all, they work both ways...

They screech to a halt merely around 4au from the massive wall of Mines that makes up the border.

A large battlegroup soon follows suit, although it carefully exits FTL outside the interdictor field.

"WE WARNED YOU NOT TO DO THIS.
SURRENDER YOUR SHIPS AND CREW AT ONCE.
THIS IS YOUR FINAL WARNING."
//Transmission End//

Waves of bombers begin to launch from the ships as their guns come online...

"Sure, but lets pick up Nayu first, im sure you wanna see her."

Brank

boombox (she is currently on altea?)

Brank
(o right)
"Sure, lets head back..."

After a short time they arrive on Altea, and land...

"Call help from the agp, de, sa, someone."(covenant)

Hans looks outside, ready for what was to come.
"Alright men, ready up, we're not going to let those fuckers get us!"

The GSR does not reply, but something else happens:

Guns and shields go online, the fleet stops.

Brank
Hans turns towards Lance, Allura and Matt and tells them to come. A few seconds later they arrive down in the hangars and meet Friedrich Müller, a former MG-Schütze and now mech suit pilot.
Hans: "Friedrich! Bring die drei in GSR Gebiet. Kein Wenn und Aber, es muss schnell gehen."
Friedrich: "Jawohl mein Führer!"
Hans: "Du weisst, dass du mich Hans nennen kannst. Jetz los, schnell."

Müller salutes, and leads the three to his mech suit, helps them in and gets in the cockpit...
Friedrich: Buckle up, zhis will be a rough ride."

As the mech suit gets out, it suddenly vanishes into nothingness. Or so it seems...

At the same time the fleet assumed a battle formation, ready to stand their ground... Men get ready when suddenly the massive "Schwerer Gustav" towed space artillery fires, a hunk of explosives as large as a small shuttle hits the leading enemy ship, two more shots are fired from the other two Schwerer Gustavs, aimed at the very same ship. These would be enough to level a continent...*

The Stuka fighters are being deployed, and backup is requested from the GSR HQ on Heimat 1...

"...Did you even look up our public information before coming here?
We are not in the SA, and since you have illegally tresspassed in a restricted area AND captured prisoners legally imprisoned for crimes against Tau and starting a war against them, AND killing their leader.
A Leader that then went on to be revived and proceeded to show us the way to the stars.
You, my friend, have no chance.
Send in the bombe-

The bombers speed towards the GSR ships and proceed to target their sides, where their shields are not strengthened.
Hundreds of "bombs" fall on the ships, although really its just a way of taking down their shields...

The mighty ships open fire, their guns erupting in a glorious show of light, each firing the new Shield-survivable AMR round, so as to disable the ships by starting fires and EMP's rather than destroying them.

Firing from ranges that most would deem impossible, the ships weapons fire quickly begins to catch up with the fleeing vessels...

The nearby station of Jarl's hope recieves the request for help, and a fleet is also dispatched...

@Tson
A transmission is also sent to the Solarics...
//Transmission Start//
"This is Lupidiran Battlegroup one, we are contacting you on a matter of uptmost importance.
The GSR fleet in orbit has almost escaped with a wanted criminal on board after breaking him out of house arrest deep in the tunnels.
We request that you use your unique technology to interviene and stop both sides, yes, including us, from doing any further damage to eachother.
However we would have to request that you do not aid in their escape, please put any alliance ties aside for one moment and understand they have a wanted criminal on board!
Battlegroup one, out."

++Transmission received, We will deal with it.++

The eight Solaric Cruisers flare their drives and barrel into an intercept course, they transmit a message.
++GSR Fleet, This is Sub-Commander Benss of the Empyric Majesty of the Solaric Empire Cruiser "Indomitable" Deactivate your weapons, Stand down and return to Holding orbit or you will be fired upon, do not make me start a war, Benss out.++
Systems flicker into life over the surfaces of the cruisers as weapons systems come online.

(aand?
Lupidirans are not.
Sure, they are close friends and unnoficcial allies.
But the Lupidirans are not part of the SA.)

Jenwuf
(ohhh i thought that fleet was Tau, sorry... can we rewind?)

Jenwuf

boombox
(well, it makes no real difference...
All it would do is change the text slightly, unless you would give up the three XD)

boombox

Jenwuf
(i would have opened fire on sight)

Jenwuf

boombox
(o-oh... alright XD, still, not much difference though, edit your post if you want and ill edit mine also.)

Jenwuf (ok im sorry if all this ends in a clusterfuck, but Lance's rescue is pretty important to me)

Jenwuf
He: Helped Release an innocent
Declared war on Someone, Which is very common, and has never been a crime in The forum-verse
Got In a Duel With Lyov, And He was not the one who killed him.
Was Captured by the zerg
Interrogated, and called a wanted criminal by Neutrals for no reason.

Brank

boombox
(yes It Is, and I'm sure the Sols would See It Mildly Important, they just somehow dont know, and The Lupidarians are lying and saying he is a wanted criminal, when currently he is only a danger to himself XD)

Jenwuf

Brank
(l-Lying? dude... do you not remember what Lance helped do?
He is the most wanted of wanted criminals right now, mainly for actions he did in the past.)

Jenwuf

Brank
He: helped release a war criminal that advocated for the use of a boiling water gun
Declared war on someone over said criminal being imprisoned
Accepted the duel, and proceeded to break the rules so he would win, upon which the war criminal decided to remove Lyov from the equasion.
was captured by zerg
Interrogated, and Lyov refused to hurt him, upon which Lyov litterally saved them from further torture and proceeded to hand them to the nicest people he knew in the safest place ever under layers of snow and rock, hidden away in a location undetectable and unknown...

Brank

Jenwuf
Still, He is going to be Released By The GSR, whether the Covenant or DE Remnants have to Intervene or not, more likely the covenant, as they are In No Faction, and Have technology Developed over millennia.
Although only If The GSR Need support will I bring a Small Covenant Battlegroup, If I have to I will Bring Retrofitted remnant Ships, Still With Remna Tech. But Only If Absolutely needed.
