[b][i]Haven Base plus Red-Star Floating Supercarrrier Kuei-Ren[/i][/b]

Once they flew or charged out of the hangar, the International Volunteers were in a position to notice that Red-Star was retreating out of the city through the Kinetic Shields; it was clear that as their first assault had failed, the enemy's vanguard was cut off from the rest of their forces for now. 

"All right, people!" Theodore's voice boomed out of the comms as his large and elaborate mech; a humanoid figure in an orb surrounded by concentric rings hovered from behind them. "I'm blinking off the Kinetic Shields in five minutes! Time to coordinate!"

A countdown appeared in their cockpits' screens, although those with higher Sync would also see said countdown at the edge of their vision.

If they followed said countdown and kept going towards the Kinetic Barriers, sure enough, the latter would shut down as the countdown turned 'Zero', and a volley of Havenite Artillery shells would fire at the retreating Red-Star troopers, as well as their fleet. Said fleet, composed of numerous hovering cruisers, transports, and support craft, turned their guns and missiles at the city of Darwin...

...Only to be met with railgun fire at their flank as the Havenite Third Fleet, led by the Light NC Carrier Khalid-ibn-Walid* (one of the flagships of the Havenite People's Protection Units), zoomed in close, charging to a near-point-blank range at the enemy Flotilla's left side. Their own complement of NCs shadowed this advance, making it possible by [i]shredding[/i] the Red-Star flotilla's heavy projectiles with their own ordnance or projecting shields that nullified their energy weapons.

As the International Volunteers reached the coast of Darwin with their Mechs, they'd find a hovering cruiser** just off the shore, firing missiles at the restored Kinetic Barriers that protected Darwin. Said cruiser was close enough for the Mechs to reach through wading, as well as the guns of their ranged weapons. But Theodore, whose NC had gotten through the barriers' area before they reactivated, had another idea.

"All right, people!" he said, "Those NCs without long-range capabilities or flight systems, board that Cruiser's deck and disable its missiles; it's large enough to use as a platform! Chelsea, please make sure that the crew fails at blowing it up or otherwise scuttling it!"
