Forsaken

[Whesto]

The Voidmourn's cruise engines disengaged and the destroyer fell into formation with the Perditrix. Whesto listened to the active comms from his compatriots. He could hear his own breathing inside his combat helmet. A channel from the bridge opened in his other ear.

"Commander, this is the bridge. We've gotten a message from Core High Command, you've been promoted to Centurion. Congratulations, the bridge out".

Whesto was calm, but thankful. Even more so it instantly gave him a surge of determination and morale. He must have given a vocal reaction because the marines turned their heads and he noticed. "Boarding Group Sierra, I've been promoted" Whesto said calmly but with a smile hidden by the hemlet. The marines uttered "FOR THE CORE" and clinched a fist in front of them.

In this moment, with spirits high, Whesto wanted to boost the morale of the group further for the incoming battle. "On that note, I name you The Voidstalkers. Do not let me down". The marines replied in the same way once more.

Re-focus, time for business. Whesto opened a comm to the Perditrix.

"This is Centurion Dwanian on the Voidmourn, we are ready and standing by. I have assembled and will lead a boarding group of five. Our goal is to reach the Overlord vessel in due haste and board it to locate the Guildmaster. Once we have your orders, we will begin the boarding process, the Voidmourn will provide cover. Once we set foot inside it will break off and assist in battle fully. If this is acceptable. We await your orders".

Whesto told the bridge to stand-by and follow the Perditrix orders. The Voidmourn's plan, once they got the green light, was to set course straight for the Overlord vessel to board it. Hopefully the rest of the group would be able to give them a decent opening in the possible chaos of battle.
