Griffin rolled his eyes. He never too orders personally. That would be a waste of his time and energy. He was happy to do whatever they assigned him to do. Well for the most part. There were some jobs he would rather not do, but he would never refuse a mission. He had worked too hard to get where he was. He was determined to make the most of this chance to turn his life around. "I would be more offended if you left me behind."

"Well, yes, I suppose things could always be worse," Dr. McCulloch agreed absentmindedly, though she was referring to something else entirely.  She kept reminding herself that of the Titans, Nephilim was the safest.  "Good to know you're not taking it personally," Dr. McCulloch concluded before the chief engineer came and drew her attention away to discuss the final preparations for the Colossi.

Natalie would have given Dr. Park a harsh questioning look for his cheesy lighthearted attitude if not for the sudden psychic message from Tirapon.

[i][color=0072bc][b]'yes, yes i can here you!  is hear the correct word?  but anyways, yes i confirm a connection.'[/b][/color][/i]

Natalie then turns to Tirapon and gives him a good-natured, re-appraising smile.  She then turns away and looks inward, mentally readying herself for the coming battle...

Tirapon smiled back weakly, he was glad she didn't seem angry that he had the ability to read her thoughts but he still felt bad about it.  [i]"Yes, 'hear' is an appropriate word.  I'll be coordinating with you from the bridge."[/i]

The Myrmidon fleet set sail in the direction of Australia.  Natalie was stationed on the Achilles, while Richard and Griffin were stationed on the Platform.  Around these two main ships were various attack and support craft: battleships, recon ships, submarines, and the like.  Tirapon had taken a seat on the bridge next to Nicole; though he did not have an official position, his job was very similar to hers.  The fleet moved forward on dark waters for a few hours when an announcement was made that EO4 had impacted.  A long while later, the fleet was hit by some mild turbulence, expected aftershocks of EO4's splashdown.  Soon a thick, warm fog rolled in, conjured by the heat and kinetic energy released by such a large object hitting the water at terminal velocity.  Veterans from the fight against EO2 remembered the fog from that battle.  Radio contact was made, recon ships having picked up the beast with their long-range detection equipment and the fleet began to follow.  Eventually, the fleet passed the impact point; EO4 was moving inland.  The fleet broke out of the fog, which was fortunate; In the battle agaisnt EO2, the beast had not moved and remained in the fog, making fighting it with ranged weapons extremely difficult, drawing out the battle.  Once the fog was breached, the fleet made visual contact.  At first they thought it was an island, but upon closer inspection it was a creature several hundred meters long with a massive, jagged, dense shell on its back, swimming towards Australia.  An announcement came to all ships from Kiritimati Base, "Our advisor has identified EO4 as the Volta Alien.  'Volta Alien' will now replace the codename 'EO4'.

Admiral Tamerlane Hargreaves of the Achilles issued his orders which were basically reminders: Nephilim was to engage Volta Alien, while Walker Rex and Frog would remain on standby.  Tirapon issued these mental orders to Natalie.
