Re: The Battle for Vega IV
As suppressing fire begins to hit the Sniper's positions, they begin to focus fire in a form of 'shoot enough bullets, you'll hit the target' maneuver. Though when Kenzo orders the gunner to shoot at the building, he notices the two muzzle flashes from the plasma weapons in close enough proximity, and aims the targeting optics between the three. "This ain't gonna kill 'em, but it'll sure give 'em the idea to get the hell off our case!" he yells, firing a missile at the building, the black smoke filling the air behind it as it streaks towards the building, then impacts, exploding between the three snipers, leaving a large hole in the building as the plasma fire ceases from that building, the other snipers backing off and retreating.
Meanwhile, the squad might hear the loud roar of the fighter jets flying overhead, engaging the Vanquishers that were standing by as the two Gunships continued their descent into the atmosphere. Kenzo would then get a call from Control, one of the many operators who helped lead the fights in different directs. "Bravo, this is Control. Our two gunships just entered atmo and are warming up their weapons. They'll be ready to provide support within minutes. Have your laser designator at the ready. Control out." And with that, the male voice over the radio cut. If they looked up and behind them, they might see the two gunships slowly descending, but they were small specks in the sky at that distance.
Ariok, however, was left to contend with the heavily encrypted data that was giving him almost no lee-way. And out in space, the Harbinger ships began to turn away as their shields began to flare to the breaking point. But it was too late, as a Deck Gun's round impacted one and smashed through the shield, crumpling the ship like a soda can before it detonated. The rest of the fleet began to mop up the remaining fast-attack ships and large attack vessels, the space battle over, for now. Harris, on the other hand, was going over everything that had been fed to him, and something caught his eye. He began to investigate it, and soon he found out everything about the scanner and table, thanks to finding the dossier from Ariok. He then activated it, the entire center of the bridge depressing slightly then retracting, a table popping up in it's place. The table began to power up, first a 2-D image of their fourth of the planet, and then it began to take shape as it scanned more and more. Stukov was, to say the least, very impressed. "Ariok, how long were you going to keep this from us?" Stukov asks, Harris speechless as he beckons over some of his control staff to man the different table operation areas.
The table begins to zoom in on the city of Tillan, where heavy firefighting and harbinger presence area a given. "Ariok, can we program this to detect friend/foe?" Harris asks, his hands on the table as his examines the table, genuinely impressed.
