<span class="mu-i"><span class="mu-b">”Thank you.”</span></span> Is all you can muster to the Eldar before quickly relaying your orders to the O.D.D. and willing the mechanical forces to begin withdrawal. Simple translation of the words exchanged is enough to rally the soldiery. They will not yield, not now when those very same monsters that had tortured them had once more returned to burn down their new homes.
Quickly after mounting everything you can and destroying what you cannot, you start to burn towards the system’s edge, pushing your inertia dampeners to their very limit as you build up more and more speed, you shall re-enter Xandrirah with speed.
You feel your generators quickly build up more and more power as your accumulators are being rapidly drained to activate the wormhole and the moment it becomes functional and without going through the series of safety checks, you dive right through. Moving at such a speed sees you thrown about as the connection had not been stable, but that does not matter, the damage reports only read that you got shaken about without any real damage, what is important before you is the fact that you had entered the system. Quickly you look through in-system reports:
Your minefield has been severed, you read no connection to it alongside the fighters you had left in system, Xandrirah Secundus fails any basic communications’ checks. And the reason for that becomes blindingly obvious.
The entire world has been cracked, some sort of an apocalyptic weapon had been unleashed and destroyed the planet.
Worst of all, you see Prime bleeding as well, and quick calculations showcase that the Eldar dragged a continent sized part of Secundus and slammed it into Prime. The utter destruction across Prime’s surface had wiped out all life that was not within the Hives or hidden still safely within Ithaca. The only saving grace, if you could call it, is that your machine legions are offering stubborn resistance alongside the six O.D.D. regiments. You quickly note Eldar ship remnants over the hive cities, no doubt the Eldar tried to take the hives by a rapid assault only to be repulsed, and no doubt out of petulance caused the death of Secundus.
As your scans was over the system, you quickly note hundreds of signatures, no doubt some are fake, as the last time you fought against the Eldar they had superb hologram technology that even your sensors couldn’t break through, perhaps if you had the time to study Eldar technology, you might be able to tell, but you had prudently prioritised finding more out about your unknown enemy, and from what you learnt from the Eldar, this enemy is by far more threatening than anything the galaxy has ever seen.
