The evil council continuation (Possible NSFW)

@boz
(Salvage operations take time, that’s a simple fact. If they want to take lighter weaponry then that can be done but heavier guns like what the Siege Bots would have would require dedicated equipment and time, something that would be harder to do if they’re rushing towards the tracks.)

@Dr_Robotpony
OOC: Yeah. they are way too in a hurry for anything like that.

* They continue their losses heavy rush to the rail. Veit and the other tank captains are out of their tank from waist up to shot with machine gun at the lowest fighters. *

Veit: Care not the loss, victory is at hoof reach!

@boz
OOC: If that’s about what i think it is, im not against changing small things when it would have the same effect and make things more consistent, or genuinely make more sense. For example, with how much experience the diamond dogs have at digging, im guessing they’d be pretty use to burying things as a standard for the extra protection it gives whatever is being buried.

Penny: Hmmmm, when is the next maintenance team scheduled to leave?

@boz
(If he gets out of this, I doubt moral will be high among his army.)

@Dr_Robotpony
OOC: To his defense, he at least went there himself. And after such a wrecking, moral loss is unavoidable.

* The anti-air cart eventually follow up as the first tanks get in range and begun taking cover by the work area against the fighters to suffer less for a moment. *

@MarauderPilot
Commander: 2 days from now unless something happen, that leave you time to see the place, meet the escort team and the maintenance guys if you want.

@Dr_Robotpony
OOC: Also just in case, that thing about the harvesters?

@boz
Ruby: Where are they now?

@boz
The robots now have to be careful in their defense for once, not wanting to damage the work area too badly.

@MarauderPilot
(I’m up for going with that at any time.)

* Meanwhile the sketch of the machine is sent up to the ships still in orbit. The cruiser’s sensors and cameras starting to quickly scan over the section of the front at their first new base and just behind the enemy’s lines, first scanning for large thermal signatures and then anything matching the profile they were provided among them. *

@MarauderPilot
Commander: The escort team are on permission, they always hang around the bar by the power generator. The maintenance guys do work in the city itself, they heighten the last few public buildings door frames.

@Dr_Robotpony
* Quite relieved they still focus on the air battle for now, to clear the area before their sabotage works. *

@boz
OOC: There’s going to be a part for the Donkey’s coming up soon.

And okay im guessing “permission” is meant to be on leave?

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Would they be needed or it’s just you and Doc?

Yes.

@boz
OOC: Well im guessing this wouldn’t be too long after where we left off considering how quick the process could be, so im thinking the general would still be there unless he’s moved somewhere else in the meantime.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Ah. Sure. But they would be in your ship for that right?

@boz
OOC: No, the hunter pair acting as the commander/s are on the ground with the general, which leads me to bring this up since there’d be the reaction from them to the missiles firing since im guessing Archers would be, rather hefty for conventional munitions given their anti-starship role.

@MarauderPilot
Scanning for the Harvester class robots shows multiple across the desert region behind enemy lines.

@boz
While the air attack stops they do have time for land based units to come up, War Bots and Scout Bots start laying down more accurate fire, the former running forwards with the latter staying back for long range sniping.

@MarauderPilot
OOC: Ah. Ok.

@Dr_Robotpony
Veit: Engineers do you work on those track. Tanks, soldiers, with me. This time we’ll be on even ground.

* The donkey lancer have a little moral boost actually seeing enemy ground units. It’s the sign the worst is finally behind for them. * The rails are actually thick enough to be used like a trench(if I remember their size correctly) which make this better even less hardcore than what they just faced by providing a good cover. *

@boz @Dr_Robotpony
?: Hmmmm, it seems they were as bright as they were thought to be. The large alien says as it’s spines lightly flare up, the parts of his body continuing to twitch lightly for a few more moments as the transition of supplies slows to a stop for a moment.

The ship then flying back up higher in to the atmosphere slightly as the hatches covering a pair of sections of the ship’s hull opens up revealing what looks to be, 24 large missiles in each module shortly before a steady stream of flame and smoke comes from reach of the silos within just before the sounds of the engines igniting is heard and the missiles start streaming out from the ship towards their assigned targets. *

@MarauderPilot
Thaddeus: You already started your attack?

?: That is quite the speed effectiveness.

@boz
(The larger tracks could, but they’re not seeing running trains yet.)

@MarauderPilot
(Would the missiles be detectable when launched?)

@boz
?: Artificial Intelligences whether self aware or simply advanced programs are remarkably effective in their intended roles. They are likely a not insignificant part of why the humans performed as well as they did in the war.

@Dr_Robotpony
Veit: The guardian already. * They cover the engineer so they could sabotage the rail. But Veit know he must get ready to moves out. If the rail is successfully broken though the guardian shouldn’t be able to follow beyond the broken point. *

@MarauderPilot
Thaddeus: I understand. But I was expecting more setting up to be needed before the first shots are fired. Not that I complain though, those are life saving.

@Dr_Robotpony
OOC: That depends on how good the radar and potential thermal sensors and the like your people have are. They likely aren’t stealthy by any means, but would likely be in the hypersonic range of speed given the typical engagement ranges.
