Helplessly the guns were abandoned as the SIVA tendrils stormed the cliffs and took over the guns, while their defenders fled inside the Bunker and tried to barricade the entrances. With the doors to the battery emplacement holding for those precious few moments before destruction, Rasputin directed the SIVA tendrils to go around, climbing up and over the Bunker and snaking in through its large and wide open back entrance which could not be shut. Trapped by SIVA all around, and the remnants of Rasputin’s army of defensive Frames and Constructs even now trampling over the bloodied bodies of the Lords who fell at the Watch, | Helplessly the guns were abandoned as the SIVA tendrils stormed the cliffs and took over the guns, while their defenders fled inside the Bunker and tried to barricade the entrances. With the doors to the battery emplacement holding for those precious few moments before destruction, Rasputin directed the SIVA tendrils to go around, climbing up and over the Bunker and snaking in through its large and wide open back entrance which could not be shut. Trapped by SIVA all around, and the remnants of Rasputin’s army of defensive Frames and Constructs even now trampling over the bloodied bodies of the Lords who fell at the Watch, while they swarmed their way up the cliffs and crags along the bunker road towards them, Ashraven and her compatriots knew they were doomed, but they fought on anyway. Every second was defiance. Life. As SIVA sprawls through the entrance way, new tendrils break through from the floor and ceiling. The doorway to the gun emplacement is ripped open as a column shoots through it and more tendrils, like thrashing snakes, coil and whip and charge at them from the front and behind, from above and below while the nanites swarm by the millions, blotting out the bunker's lighting in an angry cloud of red destruction. But every second of defiance brings Jolder’s group closer to victory. They fight on. They die. By their Medallions you remember them. | ||
For their sacrifice is worth it. Jolder and what is left of her contingent fights their way through the ravines of the Forgotten Pass, now with dramatically reduced amounts of SIVA in pursuit while they make their way over the bridge, where another lord dies and drops their Medallion, possibly in another delaying action. They reach the area of what is now the Archon’s Keep, where the entrance to Site-6 is discovered, likely by following the SIVA tendrils remaining from the start of the battle back down underground to their source. Two more Lords fall, leaving their Medallions behind outside the Archon’s Keep and deep underground, past the twisting, SIVA infected caverns, in Site-6 itself. | For their sacrifice is worth it.
