The nearly two dozen remaining Peacekeepers sped right up to the Photon Tether block, but stayed just outside the southern entrance. Even though they hadn’t yet gone inside, their systems and sensors already began to be somewhat suppressed and scrambled. One of their scouts attempted to perform act
“It’s real bad in here, captain!” a scout cried out. “We can’t see a damned thing! Sensors are barely responding. Output’s scrambled from too much raw data!” “You useless twat,” he replied. “Overcharge your clusters and try again!” “S-sensors don’t work that way, sir.” “Then do whatever it takes
She processed all incoming data from the Ravens, mapped out their positions and movements, counted enemy numbers and trajectories, then fed it all back to the team in a flash. Unlike the mostly-blind Peacekeepers, the Ravens had a whole host of data that allowed them to see and target with near-impu
Dish towers all around the block began to fall down one after another. The first few crashed down violently, and caused all manner of debris to get flung around.

The racks themselves were enclosed in reinforced, climate-controlled enclosures that kept everything inside free of dust and debris. There were terminals on each end of the row of racks, all of which appeared to be on standby. The dull glow of the SSS logo was on all their screens, though they slo
Up above, the SSS fire teams had completed their sweep and found nothing. Well, nothing except for one of the teams. They found the Spirit of Amelia. They wouldn’t necessarily have cared, but her ramp had been lowered, and it seemed to be running on idle. The rest of the fireteams began to gather t
“It’s the Ravens!” said one of the SSS guards. “Oh hell!” Claire cried out in response. The two cottonball drones quickly let them out of their antigrav fields, then flung a series of electrical bursts at the guards and their drone. Claire rolled on her shoulder, got right up near a couple of the
