The USS Iroquois was a new addition to the fleet, purchased from the UNSC of Universe-8 via the promise of Replication Devices from Universe-9 in exchange. In it's hold, where 12 Puddle Jumpers, each one fully armed with their Drone Weapons. It was accompanied by the Mendicant Bias, a Jumpship from Universe-20.

The two ships made their jump to the reported location of Installation 00, also known as The Ark. They arrived high above one of the arms of the massive installation, and deployed. The Puddle Jumpers launched, forming a protective screen around the two ships.

The Iroquois scanned the massive installation, hoping to detect a lack of Flood.

OOC: A little FYI

We are here to try and commission a Weaponless Installation to be placed in the Small Magellanic Cloud near our Star Cluster. If there are any people out there Playing Covenant Tech who would like to try to stop us, or a person playing as the Wraith or the Flood who would like to try similar, feel free to post here. If you just don't like us, and want to stop us for that, once more, feel free.

OOC: What of the UNSC nations?

OOC: What of the UNSC nations?

OOC:
Feel free to come in as well. Just know that after reading Contact Harvest, I will have a few choice things to say about the way that the CA is handling the colonies.

The scans from the Iroquois showed no Flood on the ancient ship, though whether or not this was a true result, or just the result of the scans over this minor area was unknown. The Dropships separated from the Mendicant Bias, and descended to the Planet's Surface.

Once landed, the ships deployed their loads, depositing a large force of BattleMechs on the surface of the world.

Puddle Jumpers flew over the artificial world, scanning for Flood lifesigns. Finding none, a convoy of Speeder Trucks set out for the control center. Five trucks made their way their, with a total of 125 soldiers gliding across the desert plane.

OOC: Well, if no one is going to take part in this, I will take it over entirely

As the Trucks neared the command station, a swarm of sentinels appeared, blocking the way of the trucks.

"Ok, this is not unexpected."

The Sentinels flew toward the Trucks, and powered up their weapons. In response, quad lasers that had been mounted on the roof of the trucks tracked the sentinels.

The two groups where stuck in a stalemate, until a Courier Jumper, a modified Puddle Jumper bearing Tesseract Drives, jumped into the over area bearing the Command Interlink Ghost System.

As they did so, the Sentinels turned, and fired on the Jumper.

The Sentinel Beams, composed of pure light, reflected off the specialized Chromium alloy hulls, and bounced wildly around. One of the beams bounced around the trucks like a pinball, before striking a sentinel.

The Trucks responded, and opened fire on the robots. Their crimson lances struck the unprepared sentinels, and destroyed them.

"Well, know we have the A.I. of the station turned on us. That can't be good."
