Simultaneous Alien Invasions, Old Athens, Borealis & Rome

[Xaun]

Last night hundreds of combatants if not thousands were sent to the reclaims trying to gain access to the cities post invasion. In WA, I was sent to reclaim once before I could access the city through the grid and fly above the city taking photos for this news broadcast. As the heros ran into the city they were chopped down almost instantly. Groups of enlightened combatants (200+) were tossed aside by the aliens as if they just left the ICC. After 5 major offenses I witnessed by the heros the alien marauders just seemed to vanish leaving behind only a few sentry's how were quickly dispatched. The entire event has me concerned along with several others such as Fixerben whom was also present. What led to the simultaneous attack of our capital cities? Are the aliens probing for weakness. Was this a test run of our defenses and why did they leave without being defeated?

It is too early to know for sure but something is amiss. Be on the look out for ships from the sky. The strangest part of the invasion as if what I have reported is not strange enough is that there was no landing ship... the aliens were being deployed from the sky. I saw numerous aliens falling from above attempting to attack us Yalm'ers on their way down. The only clue that aliens were even in the area besides the carnage below was the green glow of the sky and fog in the city which remained until I had to retire for the evening.

As a side note, dozens of Sentinels were dispatched into Athens however as is typical of the sentinels they were a day late and a dollar short and did not actually see combat with the aliens. Simon Silverstone was not present for questioning.

I was unable to report on the happenings of Bor and Rome but from what I understand things did not go much better in either location. If anyone has details regarding these other attacks please share them here.

Good thing it isn't named the Unbiased Associated Free Press. I'd have had to say something.

[Kotts]

As a side note, dozens of Sentinels were dispatched into Athens however as is typical of the sentinels they were a day late and a dollar short and did not actually see combat with the aliens. Simon Silverstone was not present for questioning.

Luckly Sir tristram showed up in plenty of time to fend the buggers off.... oh wait he never showed did he? hmmm

[Fixerben]

No Legacy Clan leaders showed up at all for this attack. The Clans were left on their own, even the Vanguard Watchers had either left their posts or been sent to reclaim. I tried to contact Jacobi, but to no avail.

It didnt seem that we actually defeated the Aliens, more like they withdrew. I lead a force in from Athen West Gate but we were quickly over run, then regrouped and joined the main force coming through the Whompas from Tir. Once we got into Old Athen the Aliens were mostly gone. A couple of stragglers were picked off easily.

Are all sentinel supporters to be regarded with the courtesy their supporters show others? It would seem that the sentinel supporters are so childish that they never address issues they only defend their rotten record... If they were even umm slightly less defensive maybe they would not be hated by 80% of the clans.. counting the 12 who support them in the CoT.

I really don't have any idea what your implying Astera but I doubt it is constructive.. sentinel supporter anyone?

As for you Kotts I expect more..

Fixerben... thank you for having a head on your shoulders last night and tonight..

[Redtricks]

Heh? Right, whatever. Let's not work this into a "my legacy clan's better than yours", please. (But a sidenote anyway: if an attempt to help isn't good enough for you, please don't also make comments when you don't get even that in the future... cause and effect is a lovely thing.)

I don't have too much experience with the Kyr'Ozch, personally, except if you count how many times they've sent me to reclaim... but I have been making some observations. In the past weeks they've attacked Assembly's town more times than they attacked us during the first six months I spent with my lot. I'm aware this might have something to do with the increased activity on our city, but I somehow think that might not be it.

Rewind back a few days. On Friday an Omni town got hit, I don't remember which one, and on Saturday I was in Old Athen getting ready for a wedding when the Kyr'Ozch started beaming down troops. Later that night in Reets Retreat, I had the questionable honour of handing a knuckle sandwich to an alien defense drone attacking one of our junior members when she wasn't looking.

So... yeah, what's going on? Are they getting desperate due to being routed in clan, Omni and neutral towns alike? I'd like to think so. But that the high clearance level people who usually slaughter the alien hordes regardless of their threat level (when people of lower clearance levels could have handled it and maybe learned a thing or two) get their spleens, livers and kidneys handed to them is puzzling enough for me... especially if it happened in several towns at the same time.

I wonder if they're only now realizing exactly what sort of stubborn creatures humans are and are beginning to properly deal with it. Looks like time and observance will tell.

[Xaun]

Thank you Raggunn this is interesting stuff.

[Kotts]

Think Ben made the point better then me.

Attacking our affiliated clans is childish. Xaun, don't throw mud at us and expect none thrown back. Comments like the one I quoted above do nothing but start fights, cut the crap. Please.

As for the green buggers in Old Athen, and other places...

Good thing my pattern as up to date.

[Xaun]

I was stating a fact.. you choose to take offense to it.. not my fault. And in fact I was su****ious about the presence of Sentinels there after the threat was gone.. I am sorry but your "joint clans" track record isn't the greatest.

But seriously I meant no offense by it... just pointing out that Sents showed up at the end. Nothing more.

[Fixerben]

Xaun not that I disagree with you necessarily, but the problem isnt the words you used, but the tone in which you used them. I've recently had to become a master of objective observation and reporting, and your words were slightly tainted.

As a side note, dozens of Sentinels were dispatched into Athens however as is typical of the sentinels they were a day late and a dollar short and did not actually see combat with the aliens. Simon Silverstone was not present for questioning.

You made it a point to seperate them and cast a negative light. There have been times as of late when the Sentinels have changed my oppinion of them, yet some of their past actions are still as fresh as last months TAG magazine in my mind.

Honestly, most of the time I tend to agree with people that have a negative oppinion towards the Sentinels, however, in this case no Legacy leaders showed up at all so no finger pointing is necessary.

[Tussa]

I'm not interested in fighting over this with you, Miss Holier Than Thou Knight, but I will say this. You didn't just "state". You were spitting sarcasm.

As a side note, dozens of Sentinels were dispatched into Athens however as is typical of the sentinels they were a day late and a dollar short and did not actually see combat with the aliens. Simon Silverstone was not present for questioning.

Whereas you could've worded yourself differently, and you didn't. So don't go crying havoc when you get smacktalked in return. You, with your honor and justice and truth should know better. Who knows...maybe your benevolent, good behaviour could rub off on us savages.

And with that, I'll stay out of further public trashtalk.

On the topic of the Kyr'Ozch...I seem to have noticed they've grown more aggressive as well. Maybe not as frequent attacks as before, but they seem to have learnt the defensive tactics of the protection of Old Athen, and that makes them stronger. Some attacks lasts a very long time, it seems, and I've heard they seem to scatter in groups of what grade of training they have.

I dont' have any other intel on this, as I haven't really been able to study large scale attacks, I just say what I've noticed by reports I see on different comlink channels I subscribe to.

[Xaun]

Thank you for your contribution to the data collection Tussa, and in response to your prior statements go here

[Kitty_Tepulus]

I was in Old Athes the day it happened I was on a mission. I being in Omni-Tek trying tio get the Clans and Omni-Tek combined for a massive assault on the ICC I was not killed by Sentinels and Vanguards but the ICC pet creatures of theirs.

And, of course there were no Alien Motherships. Did you not see what they were using. It was much greener than usuaul but all the locations ofaliens dropping were where ICC Transport Ships were.

Sad both Clan and Omni-Tek are blinded by their hatred towards each other due to ICC Puppet Leadership on both sides. When they all have one Master, The ICC.

Awake from your comotase state and see the true light that ICC will invade Rubi-Ka and wipe out those who are still live form the Clan/Omni-Tek War.

There is a new planet and IC Invasion Forces are being built there let us Clan and Omni-Tek form a peace which can be heard throughout the whole Universe and destyroy the ICC once and for all.

You want war, you want bloodshed millions will die for the real price of freedom.

Freedom for All, Death to the ICC!!!
