So their original target was an underground location that was, to their knowledge, solid rock? Seems strange for them to appear within the base then...

You see, my base was, all along, directly under the Ion weapon dockyards. If the Vulture's marines teleported there, then they must've appeared within the dockyards, and rather than confront me, they will have to deal with Avian's marines and the Guardsmen there.

Of course, the base itself is a good 25km underground, and well-shielded from detection attempts from the dockyard. There are also only two entrances into each base, both of which are underground airbases a quarter of a moon away and only accessible by magnorail. Teleporting into either of them simply means initiating lockdown of the magnorail tunnels and all the aircraft taking off to wipe out the intruders. Unless you brought enough AA to be able to take out 4 Mantas and all the automated Drone defence weapons, then success is very, very, low.

I hope the Imperial dockyard defenders enjoy their little dilemma :).

-In character-

A special probe had been sent out week earlier, containing a simple mesage. It has now reached its destination: the midst of Sindri's fleet. Sindri, curious about what the defenceless and miniscule craft was, took it on board his flagship. Once there, the Drone intelligence displayed its message.

--Sondro Mor, I have been monitoring your actions in this system every since your forces arrived. I am Shas'O Ionus, of the Tau Empire, and have a ...presence... within the system. I take a keen interest in your goals, and the furtherance of them will greatly aid my own. Due to this, I propose a truce and alliance. Both of use have a problem with the Imperial forces in the sub-sector, and it would be beneficial to us both if we helped each other to eliminate this pest. I merely ask that you help utterly destroy the Ion weapons that, as I am sure you are aware, are defending the planet you call Septicus, and of which one of which has been towed to the planet Kelima. In return, I will let you have this sub-sector for whatever purposes you want it, and will vacate the system after all the Ion weapons have been destroyed.

You can communicate with me by sending this Drone back with your reply. I trust that you will find accepting this proposal extremely beneficial. I trust that you will find this to be for the Greater Good.
