With Yelena@Team Yelena: The elder nods and addresses Yelena in a surprisingly deep voice. "Apology accepted young one. I am Elder Andross, last of my clan's loremasters. This is our - or rather my - sanctuary. Where else would I be?"
"Greetings Elder Andross, I am Sergeant Yelena Calstis," Yelena replied, giving a slight curtsy as she did so, the Elder's voice had a certain air of authority about it, reminding her of her Grandfather.
"My phrasing was perhaps not quite accurate, what I meant rather is that we had not expected to find ourselves in your sanctuary. If I am honest I must admit that we have become completely lost, we were looking for one of the turrets on the upper hull."
While Yelena and the Elder had been exchanging greetings the rest of the team had made their way into the room. Olivar, who had quite a passion for books, was somewhat awestruck by the sight of the floor to ceiling bookshelves that covered most of the walls, it was by far the most books they had seen in the last few years. He wandered slowly towards one of the walls and said, to no-one in particular, "You have quite a collection here."
With DerryckDerryk's team fires - not at the shielded titan - but at the unstable ruins, causing them to collapse, just like you had hoped. There is rockrete dust everywhere, obscuring your vision of a moment, but you're pretty sure you saw the tell-tale signs of collapsing void shields before the dust cloud rose.
The atmosphere in the turret control room was tense as the ruins collapsed down on top of the titan, then Lukas's voice came over the vox and confirmed that the titan's shields were down. A euphoric cheer went up from those assembled.
"Fantastic, but we can't get complacent, keep up fire on it, hit it while it's down," ordered Derryck, snapping everyone back to their duties.
The second fighter-titan starts shooting at the only live target it can see; Derryck's turret.
At that moment fire from the second construct slams into the hull of the ship around the turret. Several of the power conduits and consoles explode and part of one of the walls buckles, the impact throwing everyone to the floor.
Derryck gets to his feet as quick as he can to survey the damage, he slammed into a pipe as he fell and it feels like he may have a broken rib. Most of the lights have gone out and there are sparks sputtering across the control room. One woman who was near one of the power conduits has serious burns down her right arm, and another man looks to have broken his. That seemed to be the worst of it, but then he spotted a pair of boots sticking out from under a heavy piece of hull plating. Derryck got down on the deck and flipped on his torch to take a look. It confirmed the worst, dead. At least it looked like the poor sod had died quickly. Derryck did a quick run through of who had been in the control room, the boots belonged to Hal. The analytic part of his mind said at least Hal hadn't been one of the best soldiers in the group, but he had been well liked and another death would hurt morale. No time to think about that now though, not with fire still hitting the ship around them.
Derryck got up again and started shouting orders.
"Get those two out of here!", he gestured to the two with wounded arms.
"You three!," he yelled at another group, "Help me get this turret back round and locked into place on the downed construct, I want it firing to the end!"
"Everyone else clear the area, we'll join you as soon as the gun is firing."
They got the turret locked into position and firing and dashed out of the control room just as another salvo of fire started crashing into the hull. They weren't going to be using this turret on the other construct, where in the hell was Yelena with the other one?
