The M.I.S.E (Faction) (Update 8: REOPENED!)

Meanwhile, the giant tethers fired again, the reverberance of cluncking chain hitting on sprocket filling the waters, Commander Bort saw, reflected on the Piramidal Black Head of the tether his own end, until the message made through, and the tether crashed down close at his feet, breaking the rock of the oceanic bed, then retreating back into the darkness of the water, accompanied by the reply:

"We accept your unconditional surrender. Move to the Airlock."

Soon, one of the giant airlocks' Hydraulic locks opened, revealing an ample docking space, a violent blue light shined atop of the the opening, guiding the STC soldiers who still remained, whilst the other's bodies were silently dragged by unknown Musavians who lurked within the shadows whilst they were trying to invade the S.O.R.B, deep into the facility's entrails.

Tson there are no fatalities however

(I really do think you are underestimating these things...)

The STC marines form a straggling line, their klunky suits shaking the ground slightly as they move, the commander walks down toward the facility, after all, if he were to run, where would he go? and it's not like he would want to leave his men anyway.
++I think "unconditional" is taking it a bit strongly. But never mind.++

"Sure, same narrative as the same time, check. But something's still in the back of my mind. (The Musavian leans back and sideways on the chair, tiping it on the two back legs, holding it steady with his clawed feet on the table) You see, when we got wind of that event, and subsequently backed you into a corner, you were unrelently fast into assuming that the same was happening at the same time for, well, you! Now tell me, how'd you even know something like that at that speed?"

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer 10 days of waiting is too much? Sry, I just remember that that existed now XD
Do you want to keep it going?

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav yeah i want it to keep going

They enter the great Airlock, which fits them all without much problem, and are ushered to exit their suits by a comms voice, after the dock that they are in pressurizes again with air, the water being drained.

Tson

Fort_Master_Gustav
The pressure suits unfold around their operators like a metal hand, and the STC marines step out, they are thin, sickly looking creatures to the MISE, looking more like gangly sea monkeys than anything the MISE citizens would call people, they all look tired, and for the most part almost dead on their feet. The commander walks to the front of the column and leans on the wall, rubbing the bruise on the back of his head.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Tson At one of the ends of the big open area that is the docks, exits a line of about 40 fully-suited MISE soldiers, which aim their weapons down at the STC man, situated below them, way above, in a type of overviewing glass cage, the Head Engineer can be seen speaking at the microphone, his voice booming over the hall:

"Proceed in an orderly fashion up the ramp to be handcuffed. Commander Bort, you'll have a talk with me."

Tson

Fort_Master_Gustav
The commander gives the Engineer a withering glare.
"We don't need handcuffs, you insult us. We have surrendered to you, and thus given us our word no further assault will be carried out, and in accepting our surrender you have agreed to that deal, and thereby our word."
The commander pulls his pistol out of it's holster and throws it at his feet.
"Do you realise my men all have side weapons still? If we were going to harm you we would have done it. Now please, let us have no more talk of handcuffs, my men will comply with any order you give as if it were one of mine."
Bort turns and walks toward where the Head Engineer is.

RedAndCosmoteer

...The Commodore sat in silence. He looked on at the spectacle below, and he thought - he didn't really even need to do anything.

"Well, I guess I'll go investigate the Voghus."

Drakador_Chaos

RedAndCosmoteer Weighing the options, the Commodore brought the patrol squadron's orbit down in a simulation, and then when he gave the order, the entire squadron began retro-burning. The Antimatter would prove to be more than sufficient, as within a minute, the Cruisers were in the Troposphere of Musav

So they moved into the atmosphere with active antimatter drives? Or did I misinterpret that?

RedAndCosmoteer

Drakador_Chaos on EXTREMELY low burn - controlled, of course.

Unless that was impossible, then we just used the Antimatter to lower our orbit enough for us and then disabled that and used other engines.

Drakador_Chaos

RedAndCosmoteer So I was considering pointing out all of the issues that would cause to the planet, but I´ll refrain from that this time, not in the mood today.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Drakador_Chaos I don't see how that'd mess anything, having an antimatter propulsion system presumes that the burn is controlled, so it's just a normal engine.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Tson
"More offensive than being handcuffed is to invade us. But we'll comply since we aren't savages, after all."

Then 3 of the Musavian soldiers that were there to handcuff people head to the commander, and tell him to follow them, assembling themselves in a triangular manner around him as the other STC marines are escorted into one of the other, recently opened airlocks, to somewhere else within the S.O.R.B.

Meanwhile

The commander goes up a flight of stairs filled with the loudness from nearby whirring engines, and then reaches the next floor, with a layout similar to the rest of the facility: Cyllindrical corridors with glass showcasing a mix of analogue and electronic machinery, he takes a right turn, as the hidraulic lock opens up to a slightly more ample room, where he can see the Head Engineer enter from the other side.

"Welcome to the S.O.R.B! I'm saddened that the conditions that you came here in are poor, but worry not, we just need to know why you came here and how you knew the location, sit down would you?"

He says, as he heads to a table and drags an office chair out, sitting atop of it.

Drakador_Chaos

Fort_Master_Gustav I suppose that depends on wether it uses antimatter as "fuel" or as means for propulsion.

Fort_Master_Gustav

Drakador_Chaos Yeah, it's probably as fuel, antimatter is expensive, throwing it out of a thruster isn't very effective :p

Drakador_Chaos

Fort_Master_Gustav Antimatter torch drives from High Imperium 🤔

RedAndCosmoteer

Fort_Master_Gustav Amat is cheep

~~mostly because the Remna are now our vassals and they're sending it to us XD~~

anyways I simply use it as a booster, a main fusion drive can be very much boosted by the inclusion of little bits and pieces of antimatter.

Or I could have a quarter of the fuel as Amat for MORE POWAH MUAHAHA-gunshot heard

Fort_Master_Gustav

RedAndCosmoteer yay! Your thingy happens without the influence of the other thingies, else your guys just stood there frozen in the entrance station XD

Tson

Fort_Master_Gustav
"Thank you."
The Commander sits.
"We are the Second stripes marines detachment of the Stalker Trapper Confederacy, we were dispatched to eliminate the person in charge of the Musavian Space Initiative on behalf of another party about whom I am not at liberty, or in posession of enough information to discuss. We were not told who the target was, but we were told where to look. We were also told to tell you that it is the Voghus that are backing us, which I assume is not an untruth due to how my superiors worded it."
He squints at the engineer.
"Tell me, what do you know of the subject of "Political assassination."

One little pod, more of a bulb and 8 small engines flying around with sensory equipment and a small rift device, and a core was scouting around, trying to gather intel from the lizardlike beings
