*immediately Benjamin teleports to the location and clasps Misty's head with a fiery blaze of spiritual authority*

Soldier Boy: Calm down girl! Just... calm down!

*My hand's glowing energy seeps into her frontal cortex and the rest of her brain, seemingly cancelling and both shielding her from the psionic attack*

Soldier Boy: Alright guys! Teleporter recharged... where's the psyonic fucker at?

*I ask as if i expected you to figure it out... And Misty has just experienced a completely unexpected calming of her mind and emotions*

@Shadrack Nor

*Within the dome, space and time feel ephemeral and movement like molasses, as if running in a dream, and nothing seems to line up quite right with its appearance, skewed in one direction or another*

*something unexpected happens... it turns out the suit that was gifted to you by the Terran dominion army, has been hit by one of thus tentacles, not much, but enough that it's oozy ichor seeped into the systems and reduced the psionic shielding... not permanently but enough for one hidden moronic fellah, of the psionic kind, to be allowed to have access to your deepest traumas.. and the dickhead is using them against you... God help your soul...*

@Shadrack Nor

*The image of a person walks between myself and the creature, one visible to everyone in the region*
...
*Inhales with a ragged, stuttery breath before devolving into a strained, maniacal giggle*
...Ha—Hahaha—
*My neck snaps backward toward you all with a horrible, echoing crack, and a twilight dome rapidly expands from my position*

January MacClay: So that's a thing...!

*She wide-eyes you like she just saw a bat out of hell*

Leon Crrville: Whell that just happened... uuuh... Aria?!?

*he just stutters at the sight*

Aria 9S6: Damn... remember when i did similar shit a few years ago on some creepy ass cultists?

*She asked passionately licking her gun in a most uncomfortable fashion possible for an android that is nearly indistinguishable from organic humanoid*

@Shadrack Nor

*Stands in front of one of the creatures on my tip toes, leaning my head back and exposing my neck, filled with a taunting expression*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*It roars like hell in agony*

January MacClay: HELL YEAH QUEEN!

*She shouts passionately towards you Misty as she begins releasing hell on it*

Leon Crrville: To hell with this!

*He exclaims as he jumps forward and unleashes hell on the other one, ripping flesh from bone and armor from... grotesque seemingly rotting alien like skin, with his plasma blasters*

Aria 9S6: Harrow their wills brother!

*She says as she shoots blazing lasers out her hands begins cutting through it's fingers; the other mutant roars in fury*

@Shadrack Nor

*Pivots from efficiently killing the beasts to clawing out their eyes with my thumbs, slashing their tendons, and cutting out their tongues while leaving them suffering on the ground*
...
*Coughs and spits out the oozing blood from one of the creatures, which landed into my mouth*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>



*The thing immediately lashes out, but not before being staggered by the attack in bestial surprise, it lashes out two tentacles your way trying to rip you apart, while it immediately reaches out for January MacClay*

January MacClay: Oh no you don't!

*She tumbles out of the way and immediately starts firing her weapon, cracking a few of its armour plaques*

@Shadrack Nor

*Swings from one to the next, tearing into them with inhuman precision and speed, while my blades supernaturally stay as sharp and durable as ever; one of the beasts, I spend an extra few moments stretching a handful of arteries out of its neck*

Commander Greyson: Right everyone let's step into the threshold!

*He declares as he's the first to enter the yellow blazing threshold of the teleportation doorways and release a flare of light as he's teleported, shortly after which everyone else follows, you, Prism and Misty with the group assigned to you, arrive in what looks like a dishevelled open deck, that has an opening to the fortress, This is clearly a suspended base, meant for several tasks, that was supposedly abandoned, you'd better watch your back however... but overall, there are many lower decks that have closer vistas, and windows and even data relevant from the pirates past actions that might be useful to record; the rest, Meredy and Rhoan are with me and the rest of the ship's larger group joining the main assault army*

Commander Greyson: Alright fellos, be ready, though this region seems silent for now.... oh fuck... watch out duck!!!

*A ball of plasma is quickly approaching our location; I step in the way and raise a hand and create a shield that utterly cancels the weapon and absorbs it's power into the tesseract; the Commander looks dumbfounded at me*

Commander Greyson: You could do this all the time?

Soldier Boy: Heh... no sir... i actually intended to blast the thing before it landed on us...

*I answer ernestly*

Commander Greyson: So how did they already spotted us... oh shit! this must be a trap!!! Call your observer friends!! they might be in over their heads already!

Soldier Boy: Dammit! They weren't supposed to know we were comin'! Those bastards must've rigged this whole place to blow. We gotta get out of here, now!

*My voice is laced with urgency and a hint of fear. I glance at the outer wall of the fortress; The place is a death trap, and it is impossible to ignore.*

Prism, *I call on the psionic communicator* get your team the hell out of there! NOW!

Use the healer if you have to, but get outta that death trap! they may have been planning how to trap us in all along which means they are ready for even the larger army! hold 'em off as long as you can until the teleporters charge, then I'll teleport to your location. Don't you dare die on me, kid!

*I draw my Pulsefire, a grim determination settling on my face. I start to think the odds are stacked against us, but I'll be damned if I let my team die without a fight. The power of the Tesseract surges through my blood already, strengthening my resolve. I'm not just a soldier anymore; I'm a weapon! and I'm fully embodying it!*

Come and get me, you pirate scum! I'm gonna make you regret the day you messed with the Terran Dominion!

*I charge toward the already colossal mutants approaching our unit, my weapon blazing, the air crackling with the energy of my fury. I'm ready to unleash hell, and I won't stop until every last pirate is dead!*

@Shadrack Nor

*Grins throughout a mad, silent giggle and immediately dashes for the first mutant, flinging myself up its body with a pair of knives in a reverse grip, using the blades like a set of pitons, and once I reach the chest of the monster I dig the two into its heart in a wedge shape, rending as much flesh as I can from the still-beating organ*

Myriad Reality

*I just grow giddy at the sight, but then remember i don;t really need any... but why not load myself up with a bunch because i can still use them to direct my energy through them as i usually do*

Commander Greyson: As for the enemy it's time to head out to the planning room.

*H takes the entire ship's crew and also plugs in some commands to make the broatcast live to every other military vessel present, oh yeah, this is a full scale attack, and they came packing - also the line is unhackable and secure*

Commander Greyson: Alright team, eyes on the screen. This is the heart of the Iliath Pirate Cartel's operation on Phobos: their central fortress. This monolith isn't just a power source, it's their lifeblood. It's where they store their ill-gotten gains, their experimental weapons, and most importantly, their psionic tech. Those mind-bending weapons are their ace in the hole, and we're taking that ace away.



Now, don't let the term "pirates" fool you. These ain't your grandpa's peg-legged rum-runners. The Iliath Cartel are organized, ruthless, and heavily armed. They've spliced themselves with cybernetics, mutated into monstrous forms, and built an army of automated drones that'll rip you to shreds if you're not careful.

You'll be facing a variety of threats. We've got intel on hulking brutes with cybernetic enhancements that'll charge you head-on. There are stealth units that can blend into the shadows and strike from nowhere. And of course, the dreaded psionic specialists. These guys are the real deal, capable of causing hallucinations, manipulating emotions, and even controlling your mind if you let them.

But we ain't goin' in blind. We've got a plan. We'll be insertin' you under cover of darkness, usin' the latest stealth tech to bypass their perimeter defenses. Once inside, we'll split into two teams. Alpha team will focus on takin' out the power core, while Bravo team will secure the psionic weapons and any intel they can find.

This ain't gonna be easy. The Iliath are gonna fight tooth and nail to protect their fortress. But we're the best of the best, and we ain't backin' down. We're gonna hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast, and show 'em what happens when you mess with the Terran Dominion.

@Shadrack Nor

*Claps at the conclusion of the speech*
