Things were becoming eerie as they continued their crawl through the bowls of the ship. D3lVO counted a total of around three hundred of the smaller xenos dead while twenty five of the slug like xenos were also dead. It seemed they had realized that just running at the Kastelans was going to get them no where.
With that knowledge the Acillian brought his hands together, +Oh Machine God, I ask you to shelter us with the surety of iron! The enemy will bring towards us terrors from beyond, thus I ask that you shelter our souls as we continue to trespass on their domain.+
D3LVO could feel the metal in his body and on his skin tensile and strong. The Machine Spirits reacting to his prayer with an equal devotion and reverence he gave them. Just like all within the Acillians he found such feelings soothing.
Just as he asked for the blessing of the Machine God that the Xenos launched their attack. The first warning that D3LVO had was the smell of ozone before a massive bolt of lighting came forward and struck the hull of a Kastelan. It went right through the shielding and directly into the hull of metal. It surely would have drilled more but D3LVO quickly placed a stream of Volkite right where he sensed the attack came from.
Within seconds the entire room lit up with power and the Kastelans were being shocked with a vicious fever. However their iron held true and five seconds after the lighting struck the room was slit with holy fire. The sounds of numerous creatures shuttering and shattering filled the ears of D3LVO as he could not see the forms of a massecured forces of the Xenos. They were not all dead and he felt his soul flutter as the remaining xenos began bubbling with a monstrous presence.
+CHARGE!!+ The Acillian ordered the Kastelans as he hoped they would stop what was happening.
With swiftness the machines came through and slammed their fists against the mass of flesh. Said flesh exploded as the Kastelans raised their fists back into the firing position.
Quickly D3LVO took stock of the Machines, finding all but one of them in good condition. He felt his heart skip a beat before he gave a sigh and walked up to the machine.
+Replace the coordinator and check the filer. Remove the shrapnel and reconstitute the auxiliary fuse.+ The Acillian prayed as he began doing what he had said, +I am sorry K-090-C, I do not know if you will make it.+
The Machine did not say a thing to the Acillian. Even with that he could feel the Machine Spirit falter as it realized it would not be able to serve any longer.
