Motion, in two theatres of combat. Inside the wreckage, robotic drones activated as soon as the Nyx decloaked. Apparently de-activated within the debris field they lurched out of the carcas off the Ha'tak like flies hatching from a dead host. Almost one hundred drones came streaming at the Nyx, when within range they released an unrelenting barrage of laser fire in perfect unison. While there were dozens of drones they moved and fired as if one ship. Trying to get shots in before the Nyx had a chance to respond.

Likewise, on the planet. The ground began to move and shift between the Stargate and the Settlement, at varying distances. Some of the ground was shifting barely a few metres away from the ground team as if it was sinking. However within a couple of seconds a clumsy looking device came out. A blocky humanoid torso started to rise, at the ends of its arms were some form of emitters though instead of legs it had tracks which struggled for purchase before gaining grip. "They're back!" one of the men in the settlement shouted, before firing a staff blast at one of the drones. The blast seemed to not bother it. It took several more before the robot just stopped. More and more of them began crawling out of the ground. The emitters on the end of their arms began firing, red hot laser blasts firing into the settlement, searing through the weak structures and into whoever was unlucky enough to get in their way.

Meanwhile Lawson was watching this on the screen, notcing the drones the second the sensors picked them up, hitting a key to bring shields to full strength. "We've got contacts-" There was another ping, and he moved over to another station. He really should have added his own in the room. "-Multiple, and we've got some form of contacts on the ground too."
