Forum:The Indenture: Difference between revisions

The Commandship Indominus towed the Lightbreaker and Hive vessels as it lumbered through the cosmos. Unbeknownst to the Cabal, their massive ship was detected in a spatial simulation being conducted by the Vex of the newly developed Myriad Prohibition. Once they detected this disturbance, they boarded Timeship Hades and transmatted it to the location of the Cabal ship. The inner workings of the ship are controlled by the largest and most powerful Axis Mind the Vex have ever constructed: Typhon, the Destructive Mind. It gave the ship the directive to pull the Cabal, Hive, and Lightbreakers into their new domain, the Myriad Crossworld, for erasure using a Deletion Ray. As this weapon charged up, it used stasis beams to link to its targets and lock them in place. Realizing this, the Cabal made a withdrawal, but they immediately found out that Timeship Hades would be dragged along for the ride with the other vessels they towed. To ensure their targets remained helpless, the Vex directly invaded the other vessels, and also deployed their gun emplacements and newly designed Oracles. The Commandship continued to pull away from the stasis link, but the Timeship still got dragged behind them and weighed them down. Meanwhile, the Lightbreakers and Hive suffered ambushes from stealth units, constant afflictions from support combatants, and heavy bombardment from gigantic siege engines. There was little they could do as they kept being towed and assaulted on all sides. The Vex put up such a fight that it took months for the Cabal, Lightbreakers, and Hive to pry the Vex from their respective vessels, and they had to recover for even longer.

The clump of vessels continued to drift through space, and they triggered yet another enemy alert. A tripmine picked up their movements and let off a violent detonation that caused a shockwave which pushed the vessels away. Alerted by this detonation were a secret group of Fallen onboard an invisible Ketch called Arthroship Toxikor-Syn, the main vessel of a new Fallen House, the House of Arthropods. Commandeering this vessel was the House’s Kell, Zanthraks. His plan was to deploy a large fleet of Mosquito gunships and modified Skiffs onboard the other vessels and use their troops to sabotage their inner workings. The Ketch deployed a giant Arc web around the other vessels to prevent them from escaping, and dragged them toward their Den under the surface of [[Mumbai Push]] for assassination. The Mosquitos easily weaved around incoming gunfire and followed up with devastating weaponry of their own. The ground troops used their newly developed combat exoskeletons to enhance their firepower, mobility, and physical toughness, with additional gadgets to increase their versatility. This gave them favorable matchups against their targets, and put up a large-scale fight against the Lightbreakers, Hive, Cabal, and Vex, lasting for up to a month. During this time, they tore off a large chunk of a Corrupted Light shard to use for energy, sabotaged a Hive ritual that was intended to continue the spread of the Ascendant Plane’s corruption, stole Cabal battle plans, and shut down the Vex’s Deletion Ray before eventually tinkering with it. However, the Fallen were unaware that the energy capacity for the Ketch’s web casters had just ran out, which rallied them back onboard to prepare for the vessel’s descent. Everyone else followed, and they landed on Mumbai Push. The remaining combatants immediately resumed the fighting on the surface.
