Operation Seraph The ONUS jumped out of system, escaping from the combat. Aboard the ship, the Phase Tanks in one of the hangers had, as expected, the least success of the forces. Using their weaponry to wreak havoc with enemy fighters, bombers, pilots and security details in the hanger, they eventually rephased and moved away from the hanger towards the other forces to back them up. Hardlight flew across the room, before impacting the human conscript in the right arm. It tore off, flying across the room and sending blood pouring from the wound as he collapsed to the floor in pain. Another turned to fall back to better cover, only to receive a sudden and sharp pain in his back. He cried out as he was lifted into the air, a massive fist having punched through his stomach. The Synth Soldier spun, tossing the human into one of his allies, a sickening crunch resounding as their bones cracked and snapped under the sudden force. One, two, three: More blasts of hardlight and a stream of dark energy fired over, and another three conscripts fell dead. "I'm getting out of here!" Another yelled, turning and sprinting away, but one of the Aru'Shumi Synths pounced him and tore out his throat with his razor sharp teeth. In filed a new foe, Draconians, which took the team somewhat by surprise. They hadn't been expecting Draconians. One of the Officers eyes began to glow as he turned his attention to the Boskop... A sudden lance of energy shot out, and the Boskop flew backwards, smashing against the wall with a sickening crunch The Draconians moved forwards, opening fire on the Spectre units. One of the Aru'Shumi was caught out in the open and took a hail of enemy gun fire, falling to the ground dead as his equipment exploded, leaving no trace. The Guardians turned their shields towards the Draconians, who advanced forwards... Only to be met by the explosion of an anti-personal grenade. Two were killed outright, but the rest continue their assault. One vaulted over a pile of crates and tried to claw one of the Saeva Simius, who responded by dodging backwards at a speed that his build belied was possible, before moving forwards and grabbing the Draconians arms. The two wrestled for the upper hand, both extremely strong and deadly, but the Saeva Simius slowly gained the upper hand. The draconian lunged his body forwards and attempted to bit the Synth Soldier... Who smashed his head against the Draconians, stunning him for a moment. The Synth soldier used this to pull his right arms free, and activated his Gauntlet, plunging the energy blade into the Draconians skull More blasts of the deadly hardlight, punching holes in cover and walls, and being almost invariably deadly to any target it hit. The Officer darted forwards towards the Draconian, who laughed and charged the little creature, expecting an easy kill. He got a sudden shock when his head exploded into pain, and he fell to the floor clutching it. It felt like somebody was beating his head with a tree, and he didn't even hear the distinctive activation of the energy blade until it plunged into his neck. A final Draconian opened fire on the officer, who sudden moved backwards in a burst of seemingly impossible speed, avoiding the shots. The phase tanks came out of the wall behind him and unphased, and as he turned to face them he was hit directly by a warp cannon. The Collective forces moved quickly forwards, attempting to push their way towards the bridge.
