Lirath - Ground Battle

 After dropping off some of the crew at Balisair, it was time for the crew to set course for Lirath. The situation greeting them wasn't the most promising.

The cracked surface of the moon called Lirath was one of its most unmistakeable features. One of the three moons of the planet Kehoe, it had been terraformed and served as a settlement for a hundreds of different species, some humanoid, some not. Despite occasional class struggles, environmental issues, and speciesism blocking their way, the darker parts of Lirath's past were largely left behind, and an era of peace and tolerance had reigned for quite some time. The only problems they'd had recently were with a terrorist group whose cause for their actions had been a mystery, but they weren't tied to any particular species or social group and had been likened to a cult and had largely gone quiet in recent years.

Now the peace on the moon of Lirath had been shattered by the invasion of the Ohm.

The capital city had been destroyed. Now, all that was left of the peoples of Lirath was evacuating from one of its smaller cities, one known as Smyteval. A desert city, existing in a valley in between a rocky range of canyons and mountains, even though it was in the low ground, the natural channels of rock served as bottlenecks for any Ohm attacking from the ground.

GIA squadrons patrolled in space, locked in explosive warfare, protecting the Bleed-gate that had been activated to see the evacuated ships to the refugee world, and a shield created by massively-powerful shield generators extended around the city and up into the atmosphere, creating a shielded tunnel so ships could escape.

Word had come that there was a vital weapon to be deployed on Lirath, one that needed to be destroyed, hence why the Transmigration 9 had been called in. Given the diverse crew, and the ships that were in its hangar, there was at least someone or something on board that could blow the weapon up if it did show.

There was no sign of it yet. Right now, there was just chaos, streams of evacuees boarding ships, armies of Ohm engaged with GIA soldiers outside the shields, and forcefields that everyone hoped would hold out just a little bit longer.

The crew would be following Leon's orders but finding themselves fighting side-by-side with GIA platoons, full of various species that were currently all getting their asses kicked severely.

Several of the Lirathians that had been fighting along with Kang and Nehaa helped to cover him, and he fell heavily to the ground, landing in snow already an inch thick. Everything was foggy, voices drifing in and out; the last thought he had before losing consciousness was of Kali, hoping that Crucible wouldn't harm her.

Kang wouldn't be conscious when an armored gauntlet pulled him off the ground before he was hefted up over an equally armored shoulder.

Cargn had been fighting through the approaching Ohm line, slowly drifting through the battlefield as the flow of battle drifted along, eventually bringing him to where Kang had been fighting.

Having fought against countless alien species over his nearly seven centuries of life, Cargn knew a bit about how reptilian beings reacted to the cold. So when he saw Kang go down, he broke free from combat, making his way over before lifting the draconian over his armor's massive shoulder. The extra strength provided to Cargn by the ancient suit of Terminator Armor meant the extra weight barely affected him at all.

"Watch my back," he called over to Nehaa and Rachel, before trudging off without another word.

He had to get Kang back to the medical tent before he froze to death.

Nehaalista nodded and lifted a hand briefly to cast a spell. A bright swath of holy energy given to her by the Light for the defense of others to force any units thinking of attacking Cargn and Kang to veer off and come at her instead. [You heard him, did you not? Defend!]

< That I can do, > Rachel replied, smirking internally. She was glad to not have to worry about Kang being in the way on the field anymore-- so she could focus on just fighting and defending. She clawed and thrashed at any Ohm that came near her-- and especially any that even thought of leaving her behind to fight someone else.
