The Thon units spun off, swooping in for another pass, holding fire, and spinning off again as the Taiyou sudden transport pilot attempted to communicate. ā
Thor unit coming on grid. Officer on grid. Evaluating current situationā¦ Scanning enemy unitsā¦ Anomaly detectedā¦ Advice immediate destruction or containment of enemy units based on past Taiyou encounter data. Dispatching SITREP to SOL STAT. Awaiting orders from on grid commander. Lieutenant Commander Ava Bowen taking command.ā EGO relayed and displayed across multiple HUDs.
Two
all-purpose drones swooped in in similar fashion to the Thon units. The frigate sized MBC, Mobile Battle Center descended from the clouds where the Thon units had broken the cloud cover, closing within thirty kilometers of the sudden transport. āST05 Patronus this is MBC01 Patronus. Blink off close grid. Over.ā, transmitted Lieutenant Commander Bowen. āMBC01 Patronus this is ST05 Patronus. Rodger. Out.ā, replied the sniper. āBlink LOS. Three, two, one, jumpingā¦ā, EGO displayed on the sniper teamās HUD. The sniper teamās cloak dissipated just before the space that they occupied stretched and boiled. A nimbus of bright light engulfed them and shot in the direction of a nearby mountain a little less than five kilometers away. āHave the APDs initiate ultra/infrasonic non-lethal and then capture and contain protocol on all identified Taiyou targets on grid.ā, thought Ava.
āInitiating UISW and CCP on identified Taiyou targets on grid.ā, relayed EGO. Two of the Thon units rushed back in and inverted their Aura fields to contain the sudden transport as the two all-purpose drones blasted the fieldās interior with ultra and infra sonic waves that would incapacitate most humans that were exposed to the resonating notes. Since the blaster charges had penetrated the shielding, armor, and hull of the sudden transport and the two helicopters it stood to reason that the ultra/infrasonic weapon would now do so easily. The other two Thon units attempted to contain the two Jigabachi. āHostile Taiyou force. You are being contained for search and capture. Any hostile action will result in your immediate destruction. Any further attempt at escape will result in your immediate destruction.ā, the Lieutenant Commander transmitted to the Taiyou though it was unlikely that any of the pilots, crew, or passengers had remained conscious.
Unbroken guiding lasers shot from each Thon unit as they engaged tractors to tow the Taiyou units. The two APDs started to cut through the sudden transportās outer hull to gain entry. āMMC02 this is MBC01 Patronus requesting
Wielder Core support.ā, Bowen transmitted.
