Over several abandoned ISR cities

''The 4 Celavorans, being the only vessels capable of landing a successful invasion on this scale(considering that the rest are either too small for cities over 10km wide without being them ALL, and the Celvoris has too many weapons on it to carry a large invasion force), each land near a city, landing troops in case there is anyone in the cities that are hostile. They search the cities, and find, not surprisingly, that they are completely vacated, and nobody lives here anymore. The cities of Tenelapis, built by ISR, have remained standing for some time, having been one of the few spots not attacked when they were forced to withdraw, as well as much of the Tenelapis infrastructure.''

''There were pockets of ISR civilians here and there, but they were usually corpses by this point, the ISR cities having not received supplies in over a year(a safe assumption). Most of the violent people had retreated with ISR, and the ones that stayed starved to death(the green houses have long had their stores of seeds and their stock of food burned), having been isolated from the rest of humanity by either hundreds of miles of rocks and stones, or several hundred million or even over a billion kilometers of empty space, with no equipment to traverse those distances. The cities are cleaned up and refurbished, to be used for future projects and other potential things to come. Two of the Celavorans head off to Vent Eta, which was nearby the cities taken. Their job was not finished. There was two more places left to take, one which would be easy, the other the exact opposite of easy.''

Vent Eta

''The Celavorans went through the vent, being the first time that anyone related to ISR, or indeed, any navy, has went through it(as far as I know). The ISR's old vent defenses are idle, and immediately come back online from the little reserve of emergency power, though due to the decay of the power over that time, they only have enough power to identify the Celavorans as hostiles before shutting down again. Several of the turrets actually fire, but they do minimal damage to the Celavorans, as they are normal ballistic weapons from ages ago, only being big enough to do a little bit of damage before shutting down like the rest of the weaponry, and the dangerous weapons such as the MAC's didn't have enough power to fire anything. The weapons lay dead, but if they had people running them and there was actual power for the systems, the Celavorans would have been moderately to severely damaged by the time they reached the bottom of the vent and able to get out of range, and now head their separate ways to their objectives.''

Northern Cap Mining Facility

''One Celavoran headed to an abandoned refinery/mining facility built next to the north cap, and lands several WM I's to investigate the area. The facility had nobody there, all having retreated to a safer locations just north of Vent Eta. The Celavoran has equipment taken out, to renovate the mining facility, and will be made into a super factory/laboratory, mostly for Yevata's secret projects that need to be kept away from the public. It will be refurbished by the end of the month.''

Pillar/Island south of Vent Eta

''The other Celavoran took the way down south, mostly disregarding the bases it was passing by. After several days of traversing underground, they finally make it to a small outpost several km off shore the pillar, now being referred to unoffically as the Pillar/Island(depending on source and personal opinion) of the Tunnelers, from some of the older Yevata troops and commanders back when Yevata was still a company controlled by ISR when they were sent on their first, and last excursion, being part of the elite forces that were sent in to try and kill enough of the tunnelers to allow ISR to set up a base there. It was succeeding, but was called off because of the high mortality rate being suffered, and because of their limited manpower. Now, Yevata is going to attempt to take it by force, one way or the other. A professional army has been assembled, with a elite taskforce consisting of only the best of Yevata's army, including both types of crawlers, 24 WM I's with 24 in reserve, and the fully trained crews of multiple types of tanks ready to be deployed, as well as the well trained infantry and snipers. The Celavoran lands next to the outpost, and allows the troops to rest up inside the outpost and on the ship. The battle would be a long one, and they needed to be fully prepared for the days ahead. Once they gained a foothold on the pillar, they'd start construction of a small base of operations to start, and then try to make the tunnelers retreat to at least stay back a bit, and, once they got enough land, construction would start on a labortory the size of multiple super factories, to allow continued research on genetics, and also make it easier to perform that research, nearly independently of Yevata's current research. That was for the future, though. For the moment, they just needed to prepare for the invasion.''
