"I see, but to get to the dock, wouldn't we have to hijack some Cerberus shipment carriers? We couldn't exactly just fly up there, they'd spot us in seconds."
English
-
"Which is why we have a couple raided ones we could use. Once we get in, our best idea is to take down their defenses, allowing the rest of our forces to get in." She responds.
-
"Sounds like a plan. Where's the nearest control panel?"

Edited by A Stormy Dio: 6/23/2017 3:39:08 AM"Inside a building near the gates to the dock; once we breach there, we'll be able to shut down their defenses and send in the rest of the Alliance." Gianna had said, a soldier rushing up to her. "Ma'am, we got a message. Alliance command just liberated Arcturus Station. They're sending reinforcements, ETA 3 days." The soldier had said, Gianna's face forming into a disappointed look. "We don't have three days until the Port's taken. Cylus, would you mind if we launch this operation tonight; so we shroud ourselves in darkness when we attack?" She asked.
-
"Heh. Night's my speacialty." he says, nodding. "In the meantime, is there any place my team and I can prep? We can be ready whenever you need us."
-
"There should be some temporary quarters nearby for you. We'll leave at 7:00." Gianna had replied.
-
"Thanks, we'll be out then." Cylus says, shaking Gianna's hand. He motions for his team to follow, and they headed off towards the building

[i](Noverian Camp, 5:30 pm.) [/i] Gianna was now dressed up in Alliance light armor, a [url=https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/masseffect/images/9/95/ME3_Argus_Assault_Rifle.png/revision/latest?cb=20120321133958&path-prefix=fr]M-55 Argus[/url] on her back. She was waiting for Cylus's team, considering that the sun was almost near the horizon. Alliance troops (some in Cerberus disguises) were loading Jammers into the stolen cargo ships and Kodiaks.
-
Cylus, in the HQ with his team, rose to his feet. "It's 17:30 folks. Show time. We should get out there and see what the deal is." he says. Aidan, his second in command, speaks up. "You heard the man. Move it!" They all filed out into the clearing where they had met Gianna and found operatives loading up the stolen Cerberus Ships.
-
"We leave in half an hour; Cerberus isn't gonna expect it." Gianna had said to herself, before turning to Cylus. "Is your men ready? We don't know how many of Cerberus is there, at least in specific numbers." She asks the Pilot.
-
"Of course. I said ready whenever you are," Cylus says, flashing a grin. His helmet was off, and his breath was steaming in the cold air. "Just tell is where to go."
-
She nods. "I guess it is a go. Get into one of those Cerberus shuttles, and they'll begin to leave once the majority of our forces are in." Gianna responds, making her way inside one of them.
-
Cylus and his crew file into the nearest ship. "Let's move." he calls. They line up accordingly in the dock if the ship and wait for their next orders.
-
The ship eventually jolted its way out, as Gianna began to explain. "The mission is simple enough, once those doors open, we open fire at anything that looks like Cerberus." She had commanded, the Alliance soldiers nodding in agreement. "Arrival to dock in 15 minutes." The pilot had told through the local comm.
-
Cylus cracked his knuckles and nodded. "Let's have some fun boys!... And ladies." he says, looking towards his team. He pulls out his pistol and prepares it for firing
-
"Everybody get ready!" The pilot said, as the door opened, revealing Alliance soldiers in cover already, Cerberus anti-air cannons enabled. Assault Troopers, armed with simple Assault Rifles made their way toward the group, backed up by Nemesises armed with Snipers, and Guardians in front of all them, armed with riot shields and pistols. "Open fire!" Gianna yelled, an Alliance soldier immediately dropping dead in front of Cylus.
-
"Let's move!" Cylus shouted, firing a few rounds from his pistols. "We're sitting ducks in here!" He leaped from the ramp of the ship and landed with a roll in the floor. As he rose to his feet, he threw two grenades past the guardians with riot shields before diving for cover. Hiding behind a shipment crate, he reloaded his weapons and got ready to move.
-
Gianna fired a few of her shots into two of the Assault Troopers, bringing them down. It started to snow, which had begun to impair some kind of vision to the soldiers on both sides. The sound of more ships arrived; most likely Cerberus considering the AA cannons weren't down yet.
-
"We need to get to that panel!" Cylus shouted. He looked to Gianna for direction.
-
She nudged her head straight, a small room there, where an Engineer was working to keep the defenses up. More Guardians dropped in, along with Cerberus Centurions, armed with smoke grenades to conceal other approaches. One Alliance soldier died right next to Cylus, his M-420 Cain Mini-Nuke Launcher dropping.
-
Cylus peeks over to the room that Gianna directed him towards. As he looked, he saw the constant flow of new troops coming. If he wanted to make any progress, he had to stop them from coming. He looked down at the fallen soldier's weapon, making it out as some sort of explosives launcher. Since he didn't know how to completely operate it, he only had one shot. Laying down cover fire, he rose from behind the crate while searching for any structures that could block the enemy's path. Support beams, unsturdy walls, anything he could bring down.
-
They were coming from a building to the right of Cylus, about 100 feet or so ahead. Support columns not only supported the building, but also provided cover for Cerberus. Also, about 300 feet ahead, a small bridge connecting two other buildings showed a few snipers, the Nemesis, sniping out anyone they could find. "Be careful, Cylus!" Gianna yelled from his left. "That's a f*****g miniature nuclear launcher; it could level the entire building if you use it!"
-
"Ah shit." Cylus mumbles, looking down at the device in his hands. He couldn't use the nuke to take out the support beams, so he had to find something else that could. Calling into his comms, he ordered for his team to back him up. Aidan, who was still further back, responded immediately. He and Holden were pinned down, but if Cylus could provide cover, Holden would be able to launch an explosive at rhe support beams. Cylus looks back to his teammates and nods. Pulling a concussive grenade from his jacket, he throws it into the crowd of Cerberus troops before standing up and unloading his weapons on them. As soon as Cylus had gotten their attention, Holden was able to rise and fire at the far wall. The explosive made contact and detonated immediately, knocking down all of the troops around it. A sudden creaking was heard, and everyone turned to see the damage done.
-
The damage...well, let's just say no more Cerberus soldiers were coming out of there. There were only a handful of Alliance soldiers, Gianna, Cylus, and his pilots that survived the firefight, as Gianna showed him to the console, as she dropped her weapon and picked up one of the weapons off a dead soldier. The engineer operating the thing looked scared as shit.
