[center][h2][color=92278f]Atet, Stratos-class transport[/color][/h2][/center]

All the way from the red planet, the Stratos-class vessel took its sweet time to arrive to the colony over Venus. Along with a couple of Scroop-class ships, the Nelson and Hardy, it carried its precious cargo fresh from the factories on Phobos. All 36 units were rested in the hangar of the Atet, with the maintenance teams performing final evaluation for any possible microdebris mark or scratch from loading. Work on the ship was indeed mundane, even for the great assistant Alice who was going over the final designs of the workers. They didn't mean much to her and she was sure to share them appropriately as per her duties, but it didn't hurt to review the unit she would be presenting for the entire Zern Empire to watch. Not just the screen with the schematics, her mind was also on the paperwork in front of her which took up the majority of her attention.

Filing out such tedious legalities was easy, just something to bide her time while she waited out the long haul. Approaching the colony at Venus though, Alice could tell the situation wasn't at all handled. They were ordered not to approach and had a pair of Tommys with their rifles at the ready, along with the few other ships waiting to get to the port after the Venue had arrived. Finding a solid answer to the situation wasn't easy, but she could tell from the reports from the Forge of Mars that something had breached the perimeter of the Zern Empire around the colony and had them chasing after it. Past that, no more clues. One report mentioned a drone which was near impossible with the interference from the Wilberforce reactors.

Of course she wished to launch herself in one of the new workers, but she'd at least get an earful from the boss after it all, never mind having to deal with the Zern Military.
