Early this morning by local system time, a squadron of Nomad caps came out of the cloud near Topeka. With the base nothing more than an unshielded, pressurized habitat at this point, it didn't take much to ruin all of our work.

Bandersnatch is gone; she was the duty lifeguard and was trying to protect the base and the workforce on the outer hull. Even worse, Maxi and Contraption are gone. One of the big ships swatted them almost casually when they tried to evacuate the crew.

The only reason I am still alive is that I went over to Vespucci to formalize the sale of Wichita Orbital and was coming back while the slaughter was in progress. The base computer burst transmitted to Silk_Road, finishing up right before the comms were destroyed.

I got her turned around and out of there and there wasn't anything they could do about it. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could do with a Serenity transport against 8 battleships. I should have paid more attention to what that Division 9 ship showing up could mean, especially after Mr Yoshida informed me of what they are.
