*Shrugs*

That doesn't mean it isn't worth trying. Who knows? She may have grown so overreliant on whatever power it is she wields to the point where a brute force attack might just catch her off guard.

@ZAVAZggg

Harlock: I also punched her.

*pulls up my tattered sleeve, showing several scars*

She treated my arm like swiss cheese.

*Glances up at the woman as I approach*

Have you considered punching her?

@ZAVAZggg

Harlock: you saw what she did to my ship.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Did the people have enough time to escape?

@Etcetera

....no.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

And the military?

@Etcetera

They've taken action. Evacuation protocols were inotiqted aproxximately 30 minutes before the attack. These guys move quick, and hit hard. They don't destroy too much, but they replace everything with their own. Its like they're playing capture the flag, but the flags are the people of existence... God, I hate these guys...

*Stands up as well*
Yes, let's get moving.

@Etcetera

*an urgent alert beeps on both of our contact devices*

*pulls out my phone, seeing the notification*

... there's an amaranthine attack happening right now in the Ursa sector.

*Arrives with a single large duffle bag slung over my shoulder*

Is this the ship?

@ZAVAZggg

*The chief spots you amongst the crowd as you approach*

Yes! Come on in. Quickly!

*suddenly the sky is painted with a dark purple hue, and a single figure floats effortlessly above it*

Ezmeralda: To the citizens of this planet, I offer you protection in the form of salvation. I offer you everlasting, painless life within the Amaranthine. I am not your enemy, rather your liberator. No need to go hungry, no need to go without. Should you chose ot become one with the Amaranthine, you will be spared, and join the greatest family in existence. Should you fight against the wave of progress... you will be purged.

Harlock: no... we're too late.... we didnt even get a ship off the ground...

Chief: wait, that was what attacked you? This ominous woman?

Harlock: *shakily raises my hand* that thing killed my wife. Killed my crew. They left me alive as a lesson.... I don't know why.

Chief: .... god help us all.

We're going to win. Easy. The only question is by how much.

@Etcetera

Hopefully a wide margin.

*stands up*

Are you ready to go, miss?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

Understood.

*Turns and leaves, making my way back into the city*

@ZAVAZggg

*an hour later, Harlock and the chief await you at an evacuation ship, one of many accross the planet. Sirens scream accross the city infrastructure, signaling an impending attack. Several EDB Troops can be seen escorting civilians efficiently and safely to the evacuation center*

<Snipped quote by souleaterfan320>

It was a good suggestion. I enjoyed the atmosphere.

@Etcetera

Unfortunately, It's back to business as usual.

@Etcetera

*smirks* you? The leader of an existential government? That's incredible vickie. You've reallly come a long way, I'm proud of you.

*takes a few more bites of my food, having been eating between pauses, and cleans up my face*

That was delicious. Definitely gonna come back.
