Michelle thought of the Governors intentions for a split second as she approached the the group with Thirteen.

  She switched her radio to a private

  with that she lines up a landing spot and switches to guarding mode landing. With her loud speaker on she calls out "Sgt. Lets move out. We have a hive to attack."

Thirteen was glad to hear the order. Switching a Cyclone back to bike mode was always very inefficient in the middle of a battle.

[Language unknown: "Venlinlar'strthe. Lo wi ponawe."]

One he saw Michelle land he jumped onto its back and secured himself.

  Once thirteen had secured himself and his cyclone Michelle lifts off to meet up with wraith squadron.


  Switching to a private channel;

Thirteen carefully positioned himself. He sought a balance of secure enough not to be flung off but with enough flexibility to act if needed.

 kchek confirms as he follows in behind her.

  Severian:

   One of the Bioroid pilots speaks to you over the loudspeaker; "I think your Friends are on the move to attack the hive. While having a War Mage fight along side us would be an honor. But we understand if you feel the need to fight with them."

  Wraith and Thirteen:

  As the three fighters meet up at the cavern ceiling there are two assault fronts as missiles fly from multiple locations off the floor. Smoke spills out of the hive in many locations. The invid swarm out of the hive by the masses. Your combat computers cannot track the numbers as they fly at top speed to the cavern floor. many throwing themselves in front of the incoming missiles.

  What you notice is the majority of Invid mecha are inorganics and not the standard Inivd mecha.

  After the fire fight begins you notice several entry ways open and unguarded.

Mirage situates herself looking down and waits for the right moment to dive in and scatter the enemy efforts.

[Language unknown: Houousich Nalach.  Dayamevir roneeeto m, teeiul m nonano din ckmori.]

Thirteen holds on tight as he assumes his ride may be engaging in maneuvers with all the targets in front of them soon. He stays alert, however, in case something gets too close.

  The Invid stop funneling out of the hive and move swiftly to engage their most hated foes.

  An opening is seen for the team to make entry.

  Kaarle Radio's to the infiltration team; "All right, lets get in there and knock this hive out of the sky. Severian, if you can join us your services maybe needed here. Delta your in first lead the way to the core. Batgirl you and Thirteen are next and Ill bring in the rear guard.


   Severian ditches his hover cycle and uses his suit jets catapult him up with the others in the hive.

   Delta is first in and forced to transform almost immediately, as the hulls are narrow. She radios this to the others leveling her weapon to give cover.


  Michelle radios Thirteen to get ready to jump. as she slows down and giving him the chance to jump before transforming herself. leveling her rifle to give cover.

  Thirteen jumps, rolling with his landing. blades shooting out of his forearm shields as he come to stand ready for a fight.

  Severian lands next to Thirteen.

  Kaarle lands covering the rear.


  Left or right? the hive walls are skin like.

Thirteen takes a quick look at the situation.

"The larger mecha will draw most of the attention. We might be better suited for the key strike."

He tells Severian.

   NPCed Do to Schedule

   Kaarle say's over his radio.

  Watching his sensor panel he lets Mirage go two hundred feet ahead with Thirteen before moving forward himself in Battloid mode.

  Michelle responds to Kchek over the radio;

   She turns her mecha so its faces behind the group weapon at the ready. She watches her sensors and slowly follows at the distance Kaarle set between himself and Delta.

Thirteen replied and began to make his way to the core. He kept his senses alert in case there might be any ambushes along the way. He tried to keep a little ahead of Delta as much as possible as to scout out the path somewhat.

[Understood Lieutenant], Severian says as he lands and nods to Thirteen at his statement.

[Very astute, Sergeant], Severian replies as he makes his way to Kaarle's position. He paid mind to his Scoop helmet's sensors as they went for anything out of the ordinary but kept his Ion Blaster holstered for now.

Your magic is your main weapon Apprentice...Anything else is secondary, clumsy & rampant, were the thoughts in his head, recalling the words of his teacher, Rykhan.

  Combat group:

  As Mirage leads the way she sweeps right then left when she comes to any intersections as she leads the way. there is an eerie feeling as your group makes its way forward. there is a lack of Invid in the hive.

   Your combat computer let you know you finally reach the outer door of the power core chamber.


  Non Combat Group:

   Cerise and Skyrah

  (GM note: I have moved Skyrah here) Miriana Informs you she has completed hooking Vulture to the Zentraedi Landing ships systems and recommends getting the Citizens loaded as soon as possible.

  As you Listen to the two fighting groups the Masters forces can be heard saying that a large opening has appeared in the side of the hive. They are beginning to lose grounds.

  Your friends are finally at the entrance to the Hive power core.

   Then Silas and Korvan voice comes over the radio; Silas -   Korvan -  Silas -

Hearing the new defense plan, Cerise decides it is probably time for this show to make a move.
"Everyone, I would recommend that we reroute the coordination effort to the evac ship. I'll suit up and stay here with those that need to stay until we can get all C&C functions online on the ship, then help you all get to the ship safely. Any objections?"

[Language unknown: "Evlous, Sanicatho stre Evelareve, Maart beattase re ureersrut di An&Ei ac atina miecne sheoertho it aril hoanle oluret oureaupreome ureillpre omeca dercomfor somprekor resounsetonsoun ilas rofind ivatek.

Knowing the was a power source behind the door Thirteen flew towards it cautiously. He let his sensors give him information as he approached it. He assumed there has to be some sort of security function and felt he would be better suited to avoid what they might find.

In reply to Thirteen (msg # 283):

[Language unknown: Ho ousuretio men und...  hopeos ich ssek a ekent evasno llbe-tafi?]  Kaarle said sarcastically wondering what sort of trap they had fallen into now.

[Language unknown: Pesibeie nc ou anyes tio ceil ortureive be ourwiloer] he continued, the hairs on neck standing on end as he wasn't sure what to expect as they pressed forward cautiously.

  Cerise & Skyrah

  With the ship ready to load the general announcement to evacuate the city is given. A general call to all centenarians to protect the spaceport is sounded.

  With that the Acting commander turns to Cerise; "I think its time to leave. We have a armored car will be meeting us shortly."

  They lead you two to the elevator and head to the surface to meet the car that will take you to the ship.

  Mirage forces the door open. standing there is ten Scrim, twenty cougars and five Odeon Inorganics standing around the core which is in the center of the room.

  you notice the core is pulsing.

  the inorganics turn to face you.

When Thirteen saw the targets he quickly moved into a combat stance. He readied for an attack or to be ordered to attack.

"We got company."

   The core chamber is a mess as missles and laser fire is exchanged.  The coms burst to life with reports of the massive Invid vessels escaping though one of the exist.

  With quick efforts the core is breached and a realization of it getting ready to explode send the group to make a hasty exit.  As the hive explodes the cavern begins to collapse in upon itself. A handful of Zentraedi and Bioroids are able to make it to the exiting tunnel. The master governor and Zentraedi warlord along with most of the others remain at the exit holding off the waves of inorganics trying to give pursuit.


   From the city the earth if felt the earth quake beneath their feet. The sensors see the Invid ships take off and leave the planets orbit.  Before they make thier way to the now powered Zentraedi landing ship awaiting thier arrival. Taking off as the city crumbles as the tectonic plates rip it apart in thier spasm set off by a chain reaction below the planets surface.

A reentry pod awaits the group as the make the way out of the tunnel in a frantic hurry as it too collapses. Taking the survivors to the landing ship in high orbit.

  The planet below begins to spew lava and fiery destruction as it cleanses itself of the Invid and Master presence.

   Everyone is reunited in the large hangar of the vessel which houses the vulture. While basic engines are functional the majority of the vessel is uninhabitable. Requiring independent life support system. Spacefold is not capable at this time, Miriana and the other techs are running arround thd vessel sealing leaks and trying to patch systems to working order.

Mirage looks around for the governor, to see if he survived.

Cerise first greets her crew; "Good job guys. Not only did you assist in a successful mission, but you made it out alive. I wish I could give you all some R&R, but we still aren't out of danger. Report to Miriana, and help her any way you can."

Next Cerise approaches the Governor; "Your plan turned out as optimally as it could have, Governor. My crew will continue to try to patch this ship up until we can be rescued. Do you need anything else at this time?"
