Welcome to Gaia! ::

The remaining Kore fleets returned fire onto the Empire's ships, though the focus was still on Jishara and bringing any escaping vessels.

The recruits on the planet given strict orders to kill as quickly and efficiently as possible.

((********, I forgot the timing.))

"Do it now." Lee nodded, though the nod was wasted on an audio-link.

The bubble drones gave the larger flagships time to ready themselves. Large cannons opened fire, balls of energy launching at the enemy ships. Smaller fighters left the docking bays, swarming out and engaging the fleet.

"We need to save as many of the people escaping the planet as possible. Ground forces will begin moving as soon as they get a hole."
Lee barked out orders to the men around him at the head of the front-ship. Shielded ships took off, blazing towards the ground in clusters, drop ships designed for quickly breaching the atmosphere unscarred and rapid deployment of ground troops, some carrying whole platoons, others various vehicles.

Gautrine watched as well, the battle moving unusually swift. She held a grim look on her face, crossing her legs and resting her free hand on her knee. "There's no organization to the Kore forces, none." She said with surprise.

Some of the ships responded by making drastic suicide attacks on the eascaping Jisharans and the invading earth fleet. Others started a process of surrender. It was clear that the Kore organization was finished...and had been finished for a long time, but had kept something of an illusion holding it together. With the majority of their leader system destroyed from the virus, and Haldis holding a purely self-preserving motivation without care to the organization at all, the Kore was being torn to small shreds.

Pen felt a small stirring of sadness, and was confused at her own feelings. She was watching the end goal she'd been striving for over a year to achieve unfold before her eyes. But she didn't feel the building joy she'd expected to feel. She'd devoted her whole life to the Kore, before she'd turned against them, and a part of her still remembered that loyalty even though it wasn't there, like a scar to a deep and painful wound.

Gautrine gave Jarred's hand a gentle squeeze at the sight of the grushdeva-like fighters. "Your company will invent new things, and change others." She gave him a smile, but then glanced away, the smile slipping away as she continued to watch the war.

Pen gave Eric a sharp glare, putting her finger to her lips to hush him. "He doesn't need to know that," She mouthed.

Pen squirmed slightly as she looked at Eric. "You want to take him out there?"

"Sounds fun enough." Jarred shrugged, setting his PDA down next to him, which remote jacked into the Star's Light, giving Jarred control of the guns.

"just be careful, both of you." Pen said. She folded her legs, resting a hand on her knee. "I'd rather we not draw too much attention to ourselves and risk the damage."
