-Orbit-

The cloaked AIF fleet has maneuvered around to catch the remaining vessels of the Prometheus fleet in a loose pincer. With the Prometheus vessels damaged by previous AIF bombardments, and the EAF attack, they provide relatively easy killings for the Imperials. Meanwhile, sensor officers aboard many of the ships pick up the USSR killsats maneuvering under cloak. On bridges of numerous frigates, so far having only light action aside from launching torpedo salvos, similar scenes play out.

-Bridge, frigate Nigel Kirk-

Radar officer: (I know these are likely radar-proof cloaks, but that's what I call my sensor personnel) "Commander, I'm getting some signals that look like cloaked objects. They look small, my best guess is they're killsats."

Commander: "Weapons, can you get a firing solution?"

Weapons officer: "Not with them cloaked sir, but I can have our rapid fire lasers trained in their direction for when they decloak."

Commander: "Do it, and open fire as soon as they drop cloak..."

-Orbit-

With many light warships training their weapons on the position of the killsats, the USSR weapons come under fire only seconds after they decloak. Only a few survive long enough to deploy all their weapons, and none manage to complete their suicide runs on the AIF fleet.

The Imperial and German troops are elated by the retreat of the PCCU forces. The aerospace bombardment had been less effective than desired against the heavily armored Imperial tanks, though infantry and droid forces still took losses. They now focus on the Prometheus troops, bringing heavy fire to bear on any weapons installations constructed by nanites, and attempting to find the cloaked snipers.

AIF major: "Sir, we keep losing more men to snipers. I've deployed troops, to search them out, but we still can't find them."

AIF general: "Perhaps they've got cloaking packs. Major, have your men and bots begin searching for heat signatures from a cloaking device. Pass it on to our German companions as well."

AIF major: "Yes sir, anything else sir?"

AIF general: "Yes, actually. Contact the fleet, tell them I want as many ion rifles as can be provided. I suspect those nanites aren't going to be just building gun platforms soon."

The Imperial and German forces begin searching for the thermal signatures of the cloaked troopers. They fire machine gun volleys and shotgun blasts at any signatures they find, hoping to hit either the trooper, or at least the cloaking packs...

-Orbit over Spain-

A force of 30 Hindenburg class battleships, along with the command ship Isenstadt (one of wolf's ships, he gave one each to me and CVN) engage the orbiting Union warships as they rise from the German mainland. The warships unleash a massive volley of 1,600 MCMs, while their main guns provide additional fire. The MCMs target key systems such as weapons and propulsion, in the hopes of quickly disabling their ability to fight effectively...
