Asteroid Blues

The sudden attack of the Shasvastii, had sent Arathon and his warriors off course, just as they had arrived on the asteroid. The valiant Rasail had tried to arrange the counteroffensive as best he could, but the speed of the enemy combined with the particular conformation of that strange world had ruined his plans. For this reason they had been forced to find refuge within a series of intricate and narrow tunnels. The explorers of the group had reported that for the inhabitants of the asteroid those places were considered very dangerous and yet still retained a certain aura of charm and mystery. The only hope of reaching Elàlith's group, already engaged in battle in another area with a high concentration of Tohaa armies, was to pass through those cramped environments, isolated from any kind of communication with the outside.
After a few days of walking, Arathon and his men arrived at a sort of underground square, in which some small buildings were abandoned and there were ruins with some watchtowers. The silence of those places had weighed down their hearts and the soul of the troops was dark. Suddenly, they noticed a movement on a small cross-shaped platform. From a distance he looked like a human, who gestured with a few shouts in a language that was not easily understood at the time. Some of the present Tohaa believed that even that man was lost in those dungeons and perhaps he needed help. Perhaps he would have useful information and together they could have gotten out of there. It was when a huge Seraph emerged from behind the tallest building and began to fire that they realized that it was an ambush. Perhaps a misunderstanding. In any case, they had to fight for survival.

The TAG continues to attack until it sends the sniper to the unconscious state [with two 15, double critical hit!], negating his Symbiomate.

Subsequently, the clash continues furiously and in the end the Seraph gets to do a Rasail wound, but he suffers two. At this point, he retires on the cross-shape platform, so as to be close to the Engineer for the necessary repairs.

The Tikbalang resumes the attack, beginning to climb the ruined building.

The Tech-Bee meanwhile has advanced towards one of the Panoplies and she triggers the mine positioned by the Clipso, however she survives and succeeds in gaining an additional weapon.

At this point the two remaining Makaul can do little or nothing. They try to save at least the fallen commander [ed. To complete the secret mission, that is "Rescue"]. To do this they launch the Eclipse Grenades and then they will act. However, even in this case the ARO shots of the two TAGs manage to win, killing the last two survivors.

-------------------------------------
When the fumes of the battle had cleared, the Humans and their robots had disappeared and had brought with them the hopes of this handful of alien heroes to rejoin their fellow compains. Not far from the battlefield, a huge stone Buddha watched over the area. However, he would not have been the only silent witness of what happened. Not far from it, in fact, a Chacksa Peripheral and a Servant, both disconnected, would have been a perennial memory of the battle.

The game ends 8-1 for the Humans.
