The landscape was barren. No life of any kind could been seen for miles. The Reaper stood, still shouting its horn across the plains. A kinetic barrier rendered the fire from Ad Victoriam utterly useless. However, Chimera wasn’t without a sense of malevolent humour. Knowing that the fire would do little irreversible damage. It lowered its barriers to take some of the fire, looking as if it had started to lose balance. But after a moment the barriers raised themselves again and fired directly in the direction of Ad Victoriam. The beam glanced the hull enough to sake the crew, but not do any serious damage.

Meanwhile, Reaper Drones continued to build pipelines throughout the wastelands from the cities and colonies. The small leaks would reveal organic slush was being pumped from these cities and into a storage facility a few miles away from the Reaper. This storage facility was protected by a biotic barrier that was being generated by a power generator in the centre of the facility… However, one weakness was the pipeline network itself. Should someone be brave enough to go into the pipes themselves, they would be able to infiltrate the facility.
