OOC: Unless you TG me and I say it's ok, no-one knows what Damocles is ICly merely that an entire Island was wiped out by an unknown Orbital Laser Attack by what seems to be a satellite that no-one can find.



Unnamed Isle, Central Pacific Sea

Soldiers run around scurrying from camouflaged building to camouflaged building, The Entire Island has a furtive air about it, "And now My Courageous Armed Brethren I beseech all of you to continue the fight on against Novacom and the Duplicity of the Tolions and with this I leave you,!" A small square filled to bursting with Rebel soldiers all cheering as a tall figure boards a transport, the crowds cover their faces still cheering the man's name Admiral Kukonois, Hated Enemy of Novacom.

The Transport soars to the air and after a short while seemingly dives into the sea vanishing
from detection.

"Suprainister our Final Preparations are complete, Damocles Hilt aligned and Generators are at maximum charge," A Soft Spoken Military Aide by the name of Astonas Tata briefs Suprainister Denteth Tolion in the War room, the screen normally displaying a world map is instead replaced with a giant Diagram and an Orbital map, it displays the position of the 300 Damocles Orbital Mirrors as well as a comprhensive Diagram of the Sword of Damocles
Weapon, a small World Map has appeared in the corner, on it A targetting crosshair a cross between the Novacom Emblem and 4 swords fanning out from a center point at the hilts forms over a small area in the pacific.

The Suprainister slammed his fists down on the desk, he would make Admiral Kukonois pay for what he had done, the assassination of his father would be avenged, the side effects of it were fortunate a month's break from the frequent Meetings of the Council of Ministers had been apprciated but now the time of mouring was at an end, but still the pain of the death of his father , it would never go away and the pain ran deep, they had to crush this rebellion it had gone on for far too long "Wipe out that traitor's base and leave no memory of it, With the goal of vanquishing the enemy we shall strike them down with the sword of Damocles we shall strike down this outpost of our most hated enemy,
Now fire,"


Novacom Homeland, Atlantis Isle

On the strange and mysterious island unremarkable amongst the Novacom Islands it like the rest of Novacom was totally hidden from the world, all of a sudden a giant rumbling can be heard and a large beam of Blue light lances high into the sky it seems to last forever and some how it returns instead in 4 separate beams, they hit 4 large and massive Mirror like Depressions that had deployed only seconds earlier, the ground shudders as the reflected beams go back into space and in orbit a Orbital Mirror block would be struck 5 times, once by the laser going up and 4 times more by the beam it had split and reflected back down, all the while the original beam pouring energy.


The Space around the area becomes wreathed in a halo of light as the beam is reflected to another block elsewhere in orbit, the beam continues to be reflected to the original mirror block and the beam it transmits to another block is reflected downwards, to any observer the emission from the second mirror block would create a giant hourglass of energy as it descended back down to earth, first narrowing to a point and then expanding back outwards again. The beam hits the island and the area for several kilometres around it, Evaporating the seas and disintegrating the Island yet the beam keeps firing, anything flying into the hourglass like emission is instantly disintergrated. a huge explosion takes place inside the blast area the sea around it sizzles and hisses rising up in great clouds of steam.


The beam stops the Mirror block from which it originated melted away by the sheer intensity of light directed through it, The Island destroyed completely and utterly. "Excellent work now replace that Mirror Block, Admiral Kukonois' days are numbered if we can keep this up" A Telgan Rocket would shortly afterwards would go hurtling up into the sky bearing a replacement. To observers it would be baffling the Relay Mirror block had moved and was no longer detectable, no-one could pinpoint the strange source of emission and no-one would be able to pin this on anyone.
