You land a few more hits, but still don't halt its advance. Commander Blom fires another salvo and misses every shot.

The enemy riflemen cease fire and the Power Armor plants itself about twenty-eight meters away and extends its left hand with its palm facing out, as if telling you to stop.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw halts his fire, and withdraws back into cover. He turns over to the Aesthian commando and tells him what's happening.

"They've stopped firing. And the tin can? He's standing still. Gun down. Hand up. What do you think we should do?"

"They've stopped firing. And the tin can? He's standing still. Gun down. Hand up. What do you think we should do?"

Commander Blom responds in the form of standing up and taking aim at the power armor, who points his gun at him in return. You hear what sounds like someone sighing into a loudspeaker coming from down the hall.
: You are entirely surrounded. Continued resistance will only result in your own destruction. Lay down your arms and you will be allowed to leave with your lives as a prisoner of war.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw takes a peek over the barricade and observed what's happening. He wonders if the Imperials would really take him prisoner- no Imperial massacres of Aesthian or allied prisoners came immediately to mind. But flashes of Yui's end and his own unit's transgressions make this an uncertainty, for him, anyways.

He tugs the soldier next to him,

"What are you planning to do?"

He keeps staring down the sights at the power armor.
: I'm gonna earn my place at Miyesir's side in the Argent Horde.

The stunned commando begins to regain his senses and sits upright against the barricade, picking up his rifle.
: Oh stuff- behind us!

[ZombiLoin]

"What!?" Faw reflexively twists around and barely aims before firing his underbarreled grenade launcher at the entrance to the tunnel.

Your grenade strikes the flanking squad's pointman directly as they move through the door. Taking this as a sign that you've made your choice, the other two commandos shout a war cry and open fire, Blom on the power armor and Or in the general direction of the outflanking unit.

The heavily armored pointman shrugs off the brunt of the incoming gunfire, but the soldiers supposed to follow him in are cowed by the barrage and take cover behind the bulkhead instead of returning fire.

Down the hall, the first suit opens up on Commander Blom.

The man next to you is turned into mincemeat.

[ZombiLoin]

Faw's mind goes numb and he flicks on the full-auto. dumping at many round as he can at the power-armour in a mad attempt to kill it.

The return fire and ensuing loss of consciousness is mercifully swift.
Meanwhile back in the air, Mjolnir and Djuriskas return to the Tordenskjold's air group. The amount of airships present has increased significantly since you left earlier in the day, with at least a dozen present currently.

Bell makes her landing first, hoping that the Flanker doesn't fall apart on impact.

: Oh wow, it looks like they brought the entire fleet here. I guess it's that big of an operation, huh?

Disembarking from your plane, you encounter the Sky Marshal making his way to the recovery deck. He overhears your thinking-out-loud.
: On track to be one of the largest aerial engagements since the Great War. The Tordenskjold only needs to make one detour to pick up a parts shipment from Kintharia and the fleet will be getting underway. Get some rest while you can.

[Operator¹]

Bell takes off her helmet before replying to the Marshal.

: What are we picking up from there? More parts for the craft we have aboard or something else?
