Thankfully, the ships being drawn away from Mercury respond to our hails, and almost all of their commanders immediately see that they're being baited away. We quickly coordinate with them to free up a corridor directly to Mercury. A few moments later, when Dyles' strike force comes out of warp, expecting to dash Mercury's power stations to rubble in a minute and join the battle, they instead find scourge waiting to tear them to shreds. We even manage to direct their rubble into the sun, instead of the planet. Mercury is completely intact.

Our six functioning zergleks lead the landing party to Titan. the transmission station covers two-thirds of the moon, but life signs are almost all concentrated near the central operations area. After covering some ground, we come up against fire. It is the facility's remaining crew, holed up in the central operations area. Unfortunately, they aren't alone. They were hit just ten minutes after signalling the fleet that Sol was under attack.
It is very unfortunate, after hearing of how well these civilians have held off the amphibian menace, that not a one survives the oncoming attack. We also suffer losses, but our zergleks all survive, and we brought enough other ground forces to hold the station.
Much of the equipment is smashed, and the station's crew is all dead, but the Titan communications array is out of Dyles' hands. |
