; The Artillery Major watched a diagram of the Strategic Missile launcher; a large-frame truck with a heavier missile pad hitched at the transmission, the Orca was the forefront piece of Coalition artillery superiority. As he surveyed an ordinance interface attached to Darkhammer's primary ammunition store, he leaned forward to authenticate an order.
"Mission Control, I have two heavy missiles for an immediate fire mission -- Cerberus Kinetic Strike Package online." He said, watching a video feed from the head-set of a Cavalry officer at the artillery platforms by the launcher.
"Forty-five second flight time from launch to impact, two more can be fired in another minute. These slugs are extreme-velocity high-precision, all we will need is a solid position fixture on that warhead. If they know what's good for them, they'll shut their asses up and get the hell out of here."

The Captain turned away from his interface, shouting up to the Cavalry officer standing in the cupola with the optical device attached to his eyes.
"We've got a Cerberus ringed to fire, but we'll need a strong enough bead on that warhead -- what have you got on that thing?" Alameda ordered, turning back to his interface.
"We have an Electronic Interdiction Vehicle on-station, suggesting area dampening to enhance strike effectiveness."
