Space Invaders!

After everyone and all of their ships were properly loaded the Quarter had launched successfully. The journey from Stacy to the Trojan Asteroid field trailing NiSaris took several hours, but they managed to approach the field with the people of the nearby world being none the wiser.

The problem was that the NiSarians weren't the only ones watching the skies.

As the Quarter approached and entered the asteroid field, all was quiet. But it was only going to be a matter of moments before that would change.


((ooc: See this post for instructions, but otherwise, have at it, and have fun.))

Sam had a few seconds to be surprised. It had worked. It had actually worked!

Then the psychic wave of the Leviathans' deaths hit. Sam was already sensitive, partly because of the earlier voices and partly because of his own dormant powers. So when the wave hit, it hit him HARD. He screamed, comms thankfully off, then lost consciousness from the shock.

He was going to wake up with one HELL of a headache. And a bloody nose.

It was going to be a bit before he knew what else the wave had shaken loose in his head.

Trudy's fighter tumbled through space like a drunken bird, and only her wrenching on the controls kept her from crashing into the nearest asteroid. The field floated eerily silent in the wake of the battle, wreckage strewn all around.

"All squadrons form up around the Quarter," she ordered. "Those with towing capabilities, pick up the wounded and unresponsive. Let's get everyone home."

She needed to have words with some people, and she needed to find out from the Captain what the GIA considered a 'small force-' but that came later. Priority was getting all of her pilots back safely.

'Vadum rode out the psychic blast as the Quarter shook then stilled, a quick analysis of the battlefield showed it, they had won against the odds. Far from without damage though, "Damage reports," he requested calmly.

"Helmsman shift us back and ready a course back to Stacy. Send out recovery units and scan the field for any lost units, we won't be leaving anyone behind if we have the choice,"

Both units rattle violently as the psychic shockwave surges through them, and Tieria strains on the controls to keep Seraphim (and in return, the 00) steady. Much to his relief, while they had survived the surge, the remaining Shrikes on their tail were not so fortunate. The comfort is fleeting, however.

"Roger." Tieria answers Feldt grimly, and he banks, using the momentum to slingshot both Gundams back towards the Quarter. A heavily damaged Seravee, its armor seared with the remnants of psychic lances, follows.
