*The Counsellor stands in the midsts of the battle, destroying one rebel after another.. I extend my spiderleg-like beam weapons and fire them to the sides, moving them slowly in toward the center in front of me. Several enemy suits and dolls are rounded into my line of fire. I set my pistol to maximum and fire. The shot goes clear through three units and damages a fourth. I fire another shot and a nearby enemy Aerie to my left. The shot goes clean through it, felling it to the ground on top of an enemy Valkyrie, giving me a moment to spear the Valkyrie through with one of my beam swords.*
Just like billiards...
*I look around to see that my entire area is clear of rebel suits. Friendly dolls fill the landscape as far as visibility allows me to see. Instead I look upward.. to see all of the transports leaving with the Vicks taking point, defending their escape. I open a comm to all of the commaners.*
Hello gentlemen. This is Acting Lieutenant Xanderspade. I'm no one significant, but listen up. They're retreating. We've got the wrong strategy. They didn't need to win this battle. They had to know a massacre was coming. And why was it still acceptable to them? We fired on Confederate ships. Given the circumstances that's fine.. if we could PROVE our circumstances. But as is, they could get back to Confederate Headquarters, point the finger, and have a HELLA bigger force coming after us when they return. A force full of confederate suits. We need to mobilize as many air and space worthy suits and dolls as possible and prevent the retreat of key vessels. Namely the Ryuusei. Let me worry about the Vicks.
*With no idea if they will heed my ramblings or not, I race off toward the Vicks, followed by a dozen Aeries and my 4 advanced Valkyries. We fly up around it, taking evasive action. Its humungous ion cannons are not quick enough to accurately strike targets at close range. Before long, my group is all over its hull trying to sever vital engine and weapons components with me on the very top of the transport. I draw my huge masamune and power up my system. The phasing of my armor extends to the masamune, causing it to move with ease through even the extremely thick superhard hull of the Vicks. Within moments, I have breeched the hull and an entry into the transport is provided me.*
