With the storm clouds covering the area of operation, there wasn't much that the command team aboard the Infinity could do but sit and wait for comm chatter and look through the Nightmares' HUD feeds. So far, everything seemed to be going smoothly. Commander Buchan's troops had landed, and the Demons and exfil outfit were circling in low-atmo above the area.

"Captain," a technician said from behind, bringing Titus' attention away from the helm of the bridge, "your coffee, sir." John took the warm mug and offered a quick thanks before dismissing the young man to return to his duties. Two Irish creamers, four sugars; his preferred and only blend. A smooth sip of the warm liquid brought a welcoming rush through his body and he felt refreshed and reawakened in the dull silence of suspense and wondering.

As he began to take another sip of the coffee, a comm channel opened over the bridge speakers and Commander Buchan's voice, barely audible over the sound of a hybrid noise of metal and something beyond his comprehension, blurted out, "Captain, I'm not sure if you're seeing this, but the scans were wrong. ... There's definitely still something down here."

Calmly swallowing what little liquid he had taken onto his pallet, Titus lowered the mug and sharply commanded, "I want Buchan's HUD on screen, now!" A haptic display sprang to life at the end of his perch and his eyes slightly widened in surprise at what the Commander herself was in front of, planetside. "What the fu- CIP! Get me an analysis."

The AI materialized in the air on the other side of the perch's railing and spat off, "Initial scans indicate this creature is a construct of organic and inorganic make-up. I am also detecting traces of element zero within, which would explain the violet luminescence and what appears to be a biotic barrier around its body. Further analysis indicates the lower hemisphere of its shell is made up of... human husks."

"Give me command and control."

"Affirmative, Captain. You now have battlefield authority."

With a networked comm channel opened to everyone of his troops on Sephoroy, Titus ordered, "Lieutenant Harrens, deploy your Demons and execute hit-and-runs on that thing. Give Commander Buchan some breathing room to take it out. Break. Lieutenant O'Ryan, meet up with all Nightmares carrying essential data at rally-point alpha and extract them to the Infinity. Break. Commander Buchan, you now have control... take charge of your forces. Kill that thing."
