Disband the illusions, returning the mana to the blade.
"I say this is still a trap. You go first, my Planeswalker meatshield- I mean pal."As the Moderator sights in, he is reminded of the storming of the first Type-3 UFO at Mega-Primus.
The UFO made a huge impact in the grassed park as it smoked from multiple impacts. From here, it looked empty. Squad Leader Gautier knelt next to the Moderator, binoculars in hand.
"The Welcoming Committee definitely saw some figures inside." the Squad Leader noted
"I call a trap."
Why do you say that, Squaddie?"
"Even the Ethereal's smallest ship had surviving crew after we splashed the bastards. Since this dwarfs their Battleship, bound to have something nasty.
"Since you got the only MarSec torso, you check the top. We'll handle the rest."
"Yes Ma'am.
With that, the squad of X-COM agents moved in on the crash. MegaPol had already secured the area from civilian eyes, and Bravo Squad took the Welcome Wagon to investigate the Nietzsche Building for alien sightings.
The Moderator had High-Ex ammo loaded in his Autocannon, and his MarSec armor had an Elerium-powered gravity-wave generator allowing unsupported flight. he glided up to where the Welcome From Earth punched a large plasma hole in the UFO. Inside was an alien and organic environment, as was believed to be. There were dead Anthropods and spitters. One was carrying a Brainsucker Launcher, and obviously had pods on it's person. He aimed up, and blasted the corpse to whatever gods it worshiped.
Suddenly, fire downstairs, explosions and sounds of alien guns, he ran to the cental grav lift-
He blanked out after that. All he remembers is flashes of memory, clouded by rage and sorrow. He gave the aliens no mercy, for they deserved none...
Suddenly, back to reality. They weren't saving a city full of innocent people, they were in a world. a dark and unforgiving world, vied over by deities and opposing divine forces. He would win, of course, to kick the Gods' asses into line for fucking with his home. Only the Chaos League and the Order Empire knew of the weapon he possessed in one of the most secure areas of his little hideaway.
I really wish I had that Autocannon with me right now. Cause a bit of a stir...The Moderator assumes an overwatch position, to cover for Zan as he moves on the RAVEN.
