Several tears in reality began to sprout all across the system. These were but the harbingers for the fleet of the Mechanicum slowly moving itself out of the Warp and into real space once again.
+Raise the iron curtains and let us see our destination. Bask in the Glory that is the Machine God for we have ARRIVED!+ TalOS announced as the speakers blared the words across not only the Onus Probandi but the entire fleet.
Within the second of arriving he felt as a series of probes and detections were sent out across the cosmos. This was standard practice as he wanted to know everything there was.
TalOS felt himself curse as one of the Adepts called out, +Several enemy contacts discovered. Relaying their position now!+
TalOS simply took over the systems as he got a good look at the system. They had arrived between the second and third planet of the solar system. This position might have been okay if they were not on the run like they were but it was definitely not.
All around the map quickly generated of the system there were several flags. These flags were ships that belonged to the enemy fleet and only failed to notice the Mechanicum thanks to the speed of mechanical processing.
There were several ships stretched across the system which meant that they were casting a wide net to try and snare the ships coming haphazardly from the Warp. Clever but they were underestimating the precision of Mechanicum ships even at this range.
TalOS allowed time to move just a few seconds and his horror was founded. Within three seconds of their arrival the enemy ships have began to move themselves towards the fleet that was exiting the Warp.
There were ten ships per planet, with three planets within engagement range of them. That will mean that there will be twenty ships coming from the direction of the system’s sun and ten from outside the system.
This meant, finally, that their previous tactic of shoot and retreat would not work. He would need to issue a new stratagem to get things going.
>Try and break through the smaller force.
>Hunker down and take out the largest targets
>Try and find any purchase to keep distance.
