Asteroid Blues

In hot persuit of the remains of a shasvasti cell, an invincible army force spearheaded by two hulangs entered the gallery maze. Even though the congusing layout of the area dud its best to slow them down, the bloodlust instilled in the persuing force assured the utter destruction of the Shasvasti cell. However, the conflicy brought the attention of the Steel phalanx who were quick to cordon the area and attempt to detain the trespassers into the aleph protected zone of th asteroid.

Aleph forces began a meticoulus advance with the use of advanced smoke and cover which protected them from an overwatching hai dao sniper. Once in position Hypolita attempted to take him down with her breaker rifle, however she miscalculated the range and was shot down, followed soon by a thorikitai that attempted to avenge her. The hulangs and yaoxie remotes attempted to approach the enemy but were stopped in their tracks by the expert marksmanship of atalanta.

This lasted until a zhanshi losts his patience and decided to use his missle launcher to blow up the Agemas hiding spot, yaking down the officer and her pet spotter. With the road clear one of the hulangs investigated a weapons cache in search of something that might help him turn the tables on the IA troops but found only an autimedikit, so he decided to aproach the enemys Liutenant machaon in order to saw chaos in the enemies ranks, but was stopped short by and assault hacker that disrupted his comunications.

The aleph forces continued their aproach but were hounded by a haidao sniper and were forced to take cover once again. Using the time bought by his fellow soldier, the mechengineer repaired one of the Yaoxie remotes and with the digital guidance of the daoying liutenant proceded to clear the way for the second hulang. The hulang arrived at alephs communication module, planted Dcharges and detonated them. Smiling as he flipped the switch. However his smile soon turned sour when he discovered the comunications equipment remained unsacathed and Aquiles aproached his position.

The hulang decided to sacrifice his life in order to allow his team to retreat , one more hero of the JAde empire lost to the fires of a shadow conflict.
