Helenas processors kick into overdrive as she becomes a blur of motion. Hoisted into the air by a trail of nano machines to allow her to escape from Zevrisyas melee attacks. Her nano machines were not as abundant or advanced as those she was used to, giving her a low engagement time at present. The solid slugs aimed at her are eaten apart as they travel through the black cloud whereas she solidifies a thick wall of nano machines before her to defend from the laser weaponary. Her mind divided between so many different tasks as she also wrestles with Sarah's surprisingly advanced security. While normally she would delight at a challenge such as this she would have to abonden her cybernetic onslaught to focus fully on the fight occurring. Her priority, exit strategy. Her defense of herself costing her precious black nano machine reserves. No tombstone units were available to support, all of her force now deployed against the Scath. She forces herself backwards away from her attackers in the direction her dropship was loitering under a nano cloak. "Uncle was always right about humans. Always believing themselves right. By the White Sphere I'll save you all."
Faa finds it easier to stand with the help of those around him "Thank you, I don't deserve all this but thank you"
Dalahar thuds over to the Scath who looks terrified as the giant approaches. "Lambda" Dalahar calls. "I can carry the prince. I've been around enough orators to know that you've just been stalled. Helena is disengaging, we should regroup"
Across South Africa as conflicts reignite on multiple fronts. Tombstone Dropships arrive to relieve beleaguered forces. Sleek apcs disgorge squads of Immortals in defense patterns around the human defenders, opening fire upon the Scath with their assault weapons. Large Dropships begin deploying two vehicle squads of Battle Walkers, Tombstones premier fighting unit and recently off the production line. Standing a mighty 20 feet tall the walkers stride forth. Appearing in 2 configurations, the Ares, a main battle walker armed with a powerful Godslayer RX1 rail gun as well as an exterminator minigun. The other variant, the Phobos armed with an anti air Rail repeater that was devastating against the Scath, their agility in the skies foiled by its immense projectile velocity. Aspirant and Errant, even Y'rek'd fell before this lumbering onslaught. Scath forces were robbed of their momentum by tombstones appearance, expending many lives to destroy the durable walkers. Scath efforts are redoubled as they desperately try to overcome this new and advanced foe. Battles became things of nightmares as hulking walkers continued their slow advance supported by their faceless infantry.
