Battle of Site-6

Line 105:

After waking Rasputin, and the ill-fated attempt by Lord Felwinter to communicate with the Warmind, with promises of peace and goodwill belied by the army of the Iron Lords assembling in the Cosmodrome for a fight, Rasputin activated his defences and the battle commenced. Thousands of combat Frames, and SIVA Constructs moved to their positions, preparing an ambush for the Iron Lords as they advanced through the canyon between the Lord’s Watch and the Giant’s Husk on their coastal route to Site-6 and the Replication Chamber. Great tendrils of SIVA nanites exploded out of the depths of their underground confinement, as Rasputin’s will made them break through their restraints, smashing through rock and stone as they exploded up out of what is now the ~~Archons~~ Keep and began to race across the coast towards the battle that had broken out at the tanker.

When Rasputin’s attack came, the Iron Lords were caught between the towering Cosmodrome wall where it perched atop sheer cliffs on the one side, and the ruins of the beached tanker on the other. The Lords ducked and scattered for cover as the narrow space filled with the echoing discharge of weaponry, each of them a legendary warrior in their own right, together they would be unstoppable. A fierce battle seemed to ~~rage forever~~ as the ground ~~was made~~ slick with machine oil, ~~and~~ ammunition ran low. Then the tendrils hit. Exploding through the old tanker as the densely packed swarms of SIVA nanites bounded across the plane towards them, they engulfed the Iron Lords, encircling them and cutting them off from each other in the confusion as the brutal order of professional violence gave way to frantic chaos of a route. SIVA coiled and thrashed about like an enraged monster, crushing Ghosts (2.0) everywhere it found them hovering over their fallen Guardians, as nodes spewed forth new swarms of the nanites, enveloping the Iron Lords in the red and buzzing clouds that angrily wormed their way through every nook and cranny in their armour. Infesting them. Eating them alive, and hollowing them out into armoured shells to be ~~puppeted~~ against their comrades. (2.7)(PL TS)

Most of the survivors of the initial attack fled back the way they had come, through the ruined tanker and the canyon beyond, ~~back~~ to the wall and the Lords Watch, where they would be safe atop the cliffs to rally and regroup. In the meantime, those still trapped by the swarm and the hundreds upon hundreds of frames flooding back into the area attempted to fight a rear guard action, to buy time with their last stands for their brothers and sisters to escape. Some, such as the carrier of an Iron Medallion managed to scale the cliffs and gain a brief reprieve out of the chaos below, before they two were cornered and killed. Lord Colovance, unable to escape from the tanker that would soon be his grave fought on until he ran out of ammunition, never giving up in the melee that followed against the hundreds of frames, and his own fallen comrades being ~~puppeted~~ by SIVA like violent ~~ragdolls~~ against the living until he could go on no further. His Light was not enough. (2.1)

Most of the survivors of the initial attack fled back the way they had come, through the ruined tanker and the canyon beyond, up to the wall and the Lords Watch, where they would be safe enough atop the cliffs to rally and regroup.

His Light was not enough. (2.1)

The rest of the Iron Lords, enjoying the brief respite the sacrifice of Lord Colovance and others had bought them in their escape took the opportunity to plan their next actions. SIVA was now a far greater threat than anything they had previously imagined and to great a threat to the City in the hands of Rasputin for them to simply retreat. SIVA and the Replication Chamber they had wished to use for the good of humanity, now had to be destroyed in order to save humanity from its past creations and the dangerous they represented. (IT/PL TS). Lady Jolder would lead a strike force on by an alternative route to Site-6 to destroy the Replication Chamber, which included the Lords Felwinter, Gheleon and Saladin Forge, while the warlock Tinasha-3, known to her fellow Iron Lords as Lady Ashraven would secure the nearby Bunker Triglav and take command of its artillery overlooking the battlefield. With the bunker secured and the guns online, the Ashraven force would hold out against Rasputin as long as they could to distract the Warmind’s forces from Jolder’s group while they secretly closed on Site-6 to destroy the Chamber, and contain SIVA. (2.3)

The plan approved and the ravenous, serpent-like tendrils of SIVA approaching once more, the Iron Lords moved out, though not without another separation and rear-guard action was fought to buy the time needed for Jolder to escape, and Ashraven to secure Bunker Triglav, and train its guns on the enemy. In seconds SIVA was upon them, shooting up the cliff face as the tendrils lashed out at this rear guard, the tendrils coiling about and forming shapes to grapple with the Lords, driving them back from the ledge and opening the way for the Frame army to continue their advance.
