Rapi: ... Commander...

You: Hello everyone, are we ready to go?

Marian: Yes.

Nihilister: Well we're all set, let's get going.

10 Minutes later...

Once we've packed our stuff and belongings we then board Mother Whale and head towards the base.

You: Nihilister, are you going to attack the base with your Raptures?

Indivilia: Liberalio has that covered.

You: So that's why she wasn't present yesterday.

Indivilia: Correct.

You: Alright then, how long will it take to reach their Base?

Just then, Marian informs me of something

Marian: Commander...

You: Yes?

Marian: Andersen is calling...

You: Oh, pick it up.

A hologram of Andersen then pops up on Marian's projector

You: Andersen.

Andersen: Hello.

You: We're just about to move in for the attack.

Andersen: Yes, Rapi informed me in the morning. I'm calling for you to head back into the base.

You: Head back? Why?

Andersen: Some things have popped up. People are not happy about the treaty with the humans and Raptures. We need you to head back to the Ark immediately.

You: ... Got it.

Andersen: That is all.

Andersen hangs up

You: Damn!

Rapi: ... I'm sorry Commander.

You: It's alright, I should've expected people to do this before. It's my fault for overestimating how capable the Ark was.

Nihilister: So, do you want to head back now?

You: Yes, please...

At the Base: Operations Building...

Alarm: Battle stations! Battle stations!

Bravo goes up behind one officer sitting in a chair in front of a monitor

Bravo: What's the situation?

???: Nearly a hundred unidentified contacts were detected, heading 332, 306, 278, 232, 192, 187, 154, and 108, between 10 to 15 kilometers out. They number 150 in total.

Bravo: Get all defensive armaments activated right now.

???: Yes sir!

The base's anti-ai defense system comes online which immediately traverses in the direction of the contacts, pointing at the sky

???: Defense systems are active. Contacts are designated hostile, the closest one at 6 kilometers out. They are in the range of the AA systems.

Bravo: Open Fire.

???: Roger that, opening fire.

The air defense systems open fire with their APDS (Armor Piercing Discarding Sabot) rounds at 2500 rounds per minute which destroy the Raptures completely. In less than 5 minutes, all Raptures are destroyed
