Aboard the Sporaltryan Command Ship, The ship has been rigged to blow, and the crew has rushed to the life boats on either side of the ship. The members of the crew that have made it to the life boats can still hear the screams of their comrades grow ever closer to them as the Dark One slaughters them. The Admiral boards the first life boat, along with members of the Command Staff. Just before boarding, the captain of the ship is approached by an ensign, who hands him the detonator for the ship's explosives. However, just before the boat is let down into the sea, the Dark One darts out of one of the doors. Several Navy Soldiers shoot at it, but it quickly butchers them. The creature turns and locks eyes with the Admiral. The Admiral begins yelling at the two ensigns who are letting the boat down to hurry. The Dark One speeds across the deck of the ship, towards the life boat. The ensigns go as fast as they can, but not before the creature leaps off of the deck, just barely over the life boat, and grabs the Admiral before falling into the sea. Both the creature and the Admiral sink into the sea, but shortly after, red blood comes up from the sea, right where the Admiral and the creature went in. All of the Life boats hurry away from the ship, in anticipation of the Captain blowing it up........

The Naval Forces of Darkstrait have seen it's reinforcements arrive. In fear of the missing Sporaltryan Nuclear Weapon, it has prepared it's forces to intercept any launched nuclear weapon that is sent to Baliish. The question that remains is whether the device is deployed to Baliish or elsewhere......

The Forces of The International Knights have quickly deployed a Reconnaissance Drone, and it's pilot's are awaiting further orders when they arrive at the intended target. The Knight's Science team begins analyzing documents about the Biological weapons gathered from Dedric, and are not able to gather much, but, the are able to conclude a few things successfully: The weapons were designed by Resentinian Rebels, and the technology used was not Resentinian, based on similar documents from the time. In an attempted analysis of a diary of a Rebel Commander, a majority of the pages in it are burned or ripped out, and the few that remain contain insane ramblings of the "Dark Ones Coming" and a "Bad Temple". And the Scientists have failed once again in an attempt to develop a cure, causing several to believe it impossible given the technology available. The Sonic Bats have also been unable to locate locate the Library as well. However, Reinforcements have been cleared and are moving quickly, arriving in five days time, and the Forces in Dedric have found time and successfully upgraded several of their Combat Mechs.

The Sedunnese Rangers quickly divert to Novac to help the survivors of the Resentinian Third Royal Marines Expeditionary Force and the Sporaltryan Reconnaissance Force. The Spotting Drone has been been able to give accurate locations, effectively driving the Dark Ones away from the Survivors and the International Knights force. Sedunn Military Command has been made aware of the current situation, and have planned for Reinforcements to arrive in four days......

Meanwhile, aboard the Dauntless.......

Official Transcript, HMS Dauntless Command Center, just off the coast of Southern Baliish

Lt. Emily Goldwater: All ships are reporting a completed maneuver, and all are standing by for further orders.

Va Michael Hauser: That will be unnecessary. We need not go any farther.

Goldwater: Understood sir.

Hauser: What's the current status of the all forces, at the moment.

Goldwater: Helix and Delta Platoons have confirmed that Sporaltryan Forces are leaving the island, and are awaiting further orders. Phoenix and Baker Platoons have regrouped but are waiting a day before making their way to Novac. FOB Indigo is reporting only a few casualties to some of the creatures, but have reported that activity in Port Crescent has decreased significantly since Darkstrait burned the city. Indigo is also reporting the presence of several civilian survivors, however, they have not approached the FOB. We are getting reports of survivors in Novac from both The Knights and Sedunn. Apparently a Lieutenant Cedric Walters of the Third is alive and leading a significant amount of survivors, including Sporaltryans.

Hauser: Hmmm......*Begins muttering to himself* So if we..... No, wait, we'd have to.... Alright, I guess that'll have to due....*Turns and looks toward Lt. Goldwater* Alright, tell Phoenix and Baker to get moving now, there's no time to waste. Have Captain Harris take a Platoon into Dedric and gather intel from the Knights Forces stationed there, see if there's anything they can tell us that will help. Have Gregor send a squad out to contact these Survivors, the King will want a head count by the end of this, so the more people we can keep alive the better. Have we heard anything from the other Sporaltryan fleet?

Goldwater: No sir. Not a sound. It's almost eerie.

Hauser: Try and contact them again. If they don't respond, we'll send Able flight up to go look for them, understood?

Goldwater: Yes sir. I'll let them know. *Starts going through the radio channels*

There is a great calm across the Resentinian Fleet. With the fear of being turned into irradiated waste off their minds, the begin to focus more on the task at hand. Morale across the fleet has seen a general improvement, as both Navy and Marine personnel see a little bit more hope in their situation......

OOC: Sorry this came so late! It's been a hectic week. Cheers! -RK
