"Ugh, strange readings in the west . . . .You're the only one with enough combat and engineering skill . . . Well it was you're invention in the first place that picked up the readings blah blah blah" Even from ways outside the town the dragon could be seen and Josh, for the first time in his life, cursed his skill with machinery. While far from refined he devised a device that can pick up micro plasma emissions from warp technology that the anomalies used. When it turned on scientists decided three things that probably should have been obvious first; Josh was a genius, second; there were a lot more anomalies warping in and out for the device to be particularly useful, and three; in times that many anomalies pop up in the same area someone should be sent out to investigate.
With the southern armies stretched thin enough as it was being a vast desert land that hid almost as many bandits as it did actual people, it was left up to Josh to investigate large scale anomalies outside of the southern front, after all being a part of the military is really one of the few downsides to being a military asset. Though he couldn't blame them for the lack of military support honestly if a group of armed southern Mamluk just went to another region the paperwork and red tape would be piled so high the damn dragon himself would probably be able to read it, but at the same time in moments like these he probably could use the fire power.
The town was worse for wear with anomalies running amok inside it, thankfully though someone had the foresight to get people out, However no one seemed to know how to defend themselves in the group which was still a huge problem. Josh sent 2 quick jolts and one massive stream of electricity threw his custom built motorcycle the jolts released his favorite toys from their saddles Arjuna and Rai unfolded and took off with a surprisingly quite thump thump thump of their blades. They circled widely around the crowd many terrified, not that Josh could blame them. To those who had never seen drones before they could be mistaken for anomalies and outside of larger cities many distrusted even simple machines. With the data for the "safezone" collected the machines got to work opening fire on the first anomaly that approached. Normal creatures would have turned to red mist the second the firing had started, anomalies were made of sturdier stuff but still no match for the heavy air support and wound up looking more like a cheese grater than advanced tech.
pulling up on the civilian a few moments later he called out "people of the west we send aid from the south . . . Errr well that sounded just a tad bit corny didn't it? Just remain calm and in the area and my two friends will handle most of the work I . . ." mid sentience yggdrasil bellowed out and faded away slowly taking the anomalies with it. ". . . . will handle the rest?" People swarmed around him quickly many to thank him but a few calling out that there were still some people in the town. "I will bring back what I can wait here just in case anomalies got left behind to clean up." He doubted there was anything that remained and if it did, whether or not it was but a husk of its former self none the less he slowly began his walk into town cautious to his surroundings.
