Tatiana listened on with growing interest as Marquis began to explain what it was that he had come here to get her for. An assassination? It wasn't her usual speed but it nonetheless sounded interesting. Even if she wasn't sure how they would manage to assassinate a demon, if it was a demon of any real strength. That wasn't really the high point of the Machina after all. But she'd leave that up to Marquis to describe as he went about convincing her.

Or perhaps not. She frowned slightly as he paused in his explanation before issuing her new orders. Alright then, so no assassination after all. She nodded before snapping off a salute and then going for her weapons so she could follow up on that. "Alright, understood," she agreed without complaint. It looked there was a fight on their hands, and she was more than looking forward to testing herself and seeing if their opponents had anything that could match her. 

Following along, she quickly arrived with Marquis to hear the end of the speech. There was quite the group here, and she would have been intimidated had they not been on the eve of battle. Instead she was merely eager, looking forward to the fight and glad to have them all at her side and watching her back. It was one less thing to worry about, which meant she could give her all to the fight and not tactics or what have you. 

The bombs she was given were stored on her belt for easy access as she looked around. "No heavy ordinance," she noted to herself at the same time. "Man, and using a cold fusion bomb on the forces outside the mountain would have made things so much simpler. Oh well." Not like she was going to complain when it meant she got to fight to her hearts content. With no more comment she boarded the transports with the rest of them to get on with the mission. She could fly, but the less she exposed herself before the actual time to fight the better. It prevented mechanical mishaps.

But as Grafdakka deployed, she could only sigh. "Seriously? Ride of the Valkyries? I guess originality is dead after all." Here was hoping that the duo leading them had a bit better taste as they headed for their target.

[b]Tartys[/b]

It would be a few minutes after the call to arms that Tartys emerged from one of the gates along with the stream of reinforcements that headed for Alt Signia. There was a bit of a buzz in her head from the drinking, but she was confident that she was fully capable of fighting. Of course she had expected that some downtime might be too much to ask for, and she wasn't as bad off as Dora or Syphax were. 

Twirling her spear in her grip, wings flapped in powerful strokes as she headed through the halls and towards the outer bastions of Alt Signia's defenses. She needed to join the fight, to aid in the defense, and doing so in cluttered hallways wouldn't give her the sort of capacity to fight back that she would have otherwise. 

At last she made it, bursting into the open with a huff. She came to a stop on the walls themselves, looking out on the advancing army and with the tint of smoke in the air. This would be quite the fight, but the demons were going to learn the error of trying to attack an Angelic stronghold when they didn't have their subversive tricks to rely on, even if there were the rumors of Miyu having defected to the demonic side. Well, time to see just what they were up against.
