Arc 1, Special Thread 1.5: ONYX SPIRE Debriefing
To be fair, most of their opponents weren't alive to begin with.
Daniel feels a bit overdressed despite the... more recent damage his wardrobe may have suffered. Either way, he glances around the room before starting off.
"Well, to go through it roughly in order: Lyla, Kumiho, Battles and I were tasked with cleaning up the space around ONYX SPIRE while Grunt and Red Star infiltrated with the Konnidan. Beside the Cruisers, Frigates and Fighters there were at first two Abyssals; Gardener of Screams, an old enemy mostly dealt with by Lyla, and Mournful Topaz Seraphim, a relatively fresh but unusually powerful Abyssal from a prison ship, dealt with by me.
She focused completely on defense while trying to convince me of her wanting Yama dead, but being forced to do his bidding because they have her sister on a prison ship. I'm halfway inclined to believe her - not enough to trust her, but I consider liberating prison ships a priority in any case.
Just as I cracked her defenses and felt I might convert her, Gardener of Screams took her down himself before going down soon after. After that the four of us mopped up the remainder of the fleet, with Battles getting shot down but continuing anyway and Kumiho focusing on decimating the fighter swarms and then mostly defending and enabling me."
He throws a glance of acknowledgement at Kumiho while continuing.
"A third Abyssal, Set Beckons, emerged from the facility toward the end of the battle and proved his magical and combat prowess by holding his own for a while, but ultimately lacked the raw power necessary to win despite our fatigue and was captured. Since then I've interrogated him, gotten some imprecise data on the location of prison ships and reached an agreement that he will help us cut our way to the parallel universe because it will also let the Neverborn of this timeline spread there."
He looks to the boarding team inquisitively.
"When we were done outside, Lyla joined the boarding team under the guise of Diamond Sky."
