The Non-lethal ultrasonic 'noise' caused the men in the sudden Transport to pass out from the strange noise, while those in the Jigabachis had already killed themselves, detonating their suicide vests causing the helicopters to spin out of control and land in the snow in a loud crash. That wasn't the first to transpire. With the Transport now silent, several flashes of yellow cut through the clouds, before a deafening shriek filled the mountains.
In Orbit, Taiyou ships readied their weapons.A Series of deafening booms followed, as brilliant fireballs mushroomed into the sky, clearing wind, cloud, and snow in all direction and cratering entire ridges. One after another. Streaks of yellow erupted into brilliant flashes of light and deafening, thunderous roar. 150Kt Tactical nuclear ordinance erupted all around the Varden ships, radiation and hot blast wind moved through the mountains as shell after shell impacted the mountains. The Thons and other Varden units would be hard pressed to evade such a saturating bombardment.
Directly above Vule and Nedra, a 250mm Anti-Ship shell careened from the sky, roaring and screaming it's report as it seared directly towards the pair from the skies. A Sheer coincidence that the shell would happen to land here. 500 feet above them it detonated into nuclear fire, starting with a brilliant flash of light, and a nuclear shock wave expanding out in all directions. However the Thon with the Sudden transport was only slightly outside the blast radius. However it had to contend with the smaller 150mm Shells that rained down on them from orbit.
Twenty minutes went by, and the Bombardment ceased, leaving what was a pristine mountain range, little more than smoldering, charred craters, mushroomy fireballs rising up into the sky.
