[b][i]Destiny Ascendant [/i][/b] The Fleet-Master noticed how the assembled didn't really understand each other. He sighed with his mandibles at the sight of the translator, regretting not bringing one of the Engineers, they would have solved the issue in no time. Nonetheless, he kept trying to understand. Which he actually managed, somewhat. A simple nod was offered to Muriel, and continued trying to 'simplify' his word-speech. "I am here. Holy reason. Aurora. Ours." Then the Fleet-Master moved his gaze over to Kindel, inspecting the unknown being. A simple "Hrmf." Escaped him as his visual inspection was finished. He awaited the response from the others. While waiting, one of his guards whispered something to the Fleet-Master. He nodded slowly to himself, approving the new set of news. Once more, he spoke. "Pious Transgression. IS here. Now. I recommend. Withdraw. Surface troops. Now." [hr] [i][b]Aurora, Surface.[/b][/i] "What in the name of the Prophets is that?!" Several members of the Covenant forces recoiled their charge as they gained a view on the Vulkhar, attacking the tanks. The grunts of the forces present had already begun falling back to the Sangheili's position. Tartarus would have none of it as they had already broken through their lines, and noticed the hostile tanks were focusing their fire upon the gigantic creature. He saw an opening in the last stand of the enemy. "Pack-members! With me, we are going into that vault! Hurry before the creature notices us!" With his doubtful Jiralhanae at his back, Tartarus continued to lead the charge. Clearing a path through both hostiles and barricades. The closest of the tanks took notice of the charge, and rotated it's cannon-turret towards the Pack. Taking notice of this, Tartarus took a slight detour of his attack, slinging his hammer with a force few present could accomplish, aiming the attack on the cannon-turret of the tank. Just before it managed to land a shot, the whole barrel was broken. The tank was made inoperable, the cannon-barrel smashed straight off, alongside other devastating damages done by the kinetic pulse of the hammer. Tartarus quickly rejoined with the pack, whom had gained a vigorous morale after seeing this display of power. The Covenant forces made their way into the Vault. Curious and prepared to face whatever was inside there. [hr] [i][b]In space, within the close vicinity of Aurora.[/b][/i] Theme: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDSQbCYrXu0[/url] Large ruptures of slipspace energies began appearing for everyone within the vicinity of Aurora whom had the technology to see it. They could easily track the energies to the location of the two CSS-Battle Cruisers. Soon enough, several ruptures appeared. Ships by the dozens began to come out of the ruptures, similar ships to the already-present Covenant forces. The fleet of Pious Transgression had arrived. With knowledge of what was currently happening in the Aurora system, the fleet began to split up almost at once. Ten CSS-Battle Cruisers alongside an Assault Carrier, a vessel far larger than the other ships, began their descent for Aurora's orbit. While the rest held their position, forming a defensive formation. Once positioned by the already stationed CSS-Battle cruisers at orbit, the reinforcements began sending infantry support down to the surface. Now focusing on the entire city, instead of the Vault. Troops were still being sent to the vault, no doubt. But from all directions. To achieve air-dominance over the city, flocks of Banshees descended upon the planet. Aiming to clear the skies of unknown ships and to rain molten-fire down upon the hostiles down below.
