A certain amount of chaos was to be expected given the sudden appearance of the Fallen, but Ephsor wasn't quite expecting that the locals in the city would be turning on each other, truly an odd people. Given the circumstances the Kell had refined his orders a bit, having his crew only secure and protect their landing zone and points of interest, leaving the locals to fight amongst themselves. Since he was trying to keep ready in case they had to beat a hasty retreat most of their heavier equipment was being left on the ships but a few band of pikes and at least one walker were on standby if necessary.

As things were getting established Ephsor received the signal from Niryk. Normally he wouldn't care to destroy something unrecoverable but this many different fleets showing up at the same time couldn't be a coincidence "Hmm, yes but don't be hasty. Only destroy what you are sure you cannot recover" shortly after another transmission was received, this time from one of the alien vessels. They were setting their ship up as a ground for diplomacy if the translations were correct. Ephsor dismissed it, he wasn't interested in the other races at the moment so long as they weren't getting in the way. For now he was readying to move out, initial reports were saying that a particularly well-armed group was fortifying something around the outskirts of the town, as good a place as any to start.
