>Launch one missile at each ship in orbit above etc>Rolled 98 (1d100)QM: unfortunately, in a roll under 1d100, this is as close to total failure as possible nooooo argh
As the Legate prepares the vertical launch of two solid fuel high-thrust missiles soaring into the sky along blinding parabolic arcs of fire, I think he experiences a strange flashback...
The Legate is in some sort of spaceship,
>>5833501surrounded by armed soldiers, except this time they seem to be outfitted in more futuristic tactical gear as opposed to the primitive and semi-scavenged technobarbarian attire of the forest / iron ring Gate Of Mandeb battle.
There is an electronic chime, and the Legate gestures at a floating hologram display that materialises near his hand. There are numerous hovering red sigils and glyphs, the scrolling data of various high-level encryption protocols, authentication and verification confirmations for clearance. And then the screen clears into very simple line sequence of text:
