Chapter 3, Auspex fin
"Wait!" Jak declares, indicating the lay priest and one of the tech-guard, who step forwards and assist him in unrolling a lengthy sheet of what looks to be purity-seal-embossed parchment. One of the servo-skulls floats over, then another and then a third, each projecting a small hololithic display for a fraction of a second then another - botching together an ersatz tactical display while Jak, with a smooth hand outlines a side-view of the fin in general form and fills in major tactical objectives, managing a basic map in mere moments.
Eight - and a flickering ninth - groups of red-outlined 'insurgents' start to appear over the map at specific choke points, with one additional larger group (as many as fifty-strong to the one-to-two-dozen of the others) occupying a major cogitator node which is flagged in gold.
Six groups marked with Aquila sigils appear on the map, along with two additional groups in strobing yellow - all but one of the twenty-strong squads seem to be pinned down or otherwise restricted in their freedom of movement.
One final group, marked in blue but with Captain Aase's tag are marked as being at the bottom of the fin, but they bear multiple 'poor communication' tags.
"Archmilitant Asgard, the situation is as I display, tactical command is yours. I can endeavour to secure better communications with our forces or provide direct support, at your discretion." the tech-priest states.
