OOC: AP, you have stalled this too long.

IC:

On board the Continent

''The official analysis comes in. The aircraft were stolen, which means that they could have come from anywhere. However, several incriminating clues were discovered... The aircraft were cloaked, and very few navies on Calemare had the capability to mount cloaks on aircraft. In addition, there were no life signs detected on the aircraft, and there was no evidence that anyone tried to bail out. Combined with the fact that no external signals were detected controling the aircraft, it pointed to a navy with advanced robotics, and there was only one navy that fit all of these clues and was known to be hostile towards Earth navies. The Captain of the Continent reads the message and the orders following it, and then opened a shipwide PA system.''

Captain: "This is your Captain speaking. I have some good news, everyone, and it is that we now know exactly who the bastards were that did this to us. Ladies and gentlemen, Aneph is now at war with The Enlightened Ones. Now, we are in a perfect location to strike back, and our orders are to do so. We will continue with our original plans, with one minor exception being that we change the location in which we will commence Operation Skyfall, so that it corresponds with the location of the TEO base we have been tasked with destroying! Now, here is what we are going to do..."

''The captain outlines the new location of Operation Skyfall, and the Continent's four massive Orion drives begin pushing its massive bulk to the new location, followed closely by the remaining Toy Boxes. Once at the new location, the Continent deactivates its Orion drives and settles gently onto the solid aerogel clouds below it. The eight remaining Toy Boxes land on the cloud as well, forming a six-kilometer wide octagon around the Continent. Over the next several hours, Aneph personnel scurry about, anchoring each vessel securely to the solid cloud below and placing special cables in an octagonal pattern dictated by the placement of the ships. However, in one location, the cables deviate fron the octagon, adding a large square protrusion to one side(OOC: think an octagon with a square glued to one side). Once all ships are secured, the output of one of Continent's onboard powerplants is discharged directly into the cable, which immediately glows white-hot and sinks into the cloud, cutting through the aerogel like a hot knife through butter. As the cable burns clean through the bottom and falls away, the entire cutout section of aerogel cloud lurches and drops under the weight of the Continent and transports anchored to it, falling away towards the tumultuous surface below.....''

'''OOC: AP, you said that the TEO will not be hindered by the cockroaches... but this time, we have a really big cockroach. And for once, ITS going to be the one doing the stomping.'''
