GNN: Rheinland Fleet being Devastated: Five Battleships lost

The Nomad Battleship now named the Devastator has managed to attack and destroy five Rheinland Military Battleships in both New Berlin and Frankfurt. The Ems, the Oberhafen, the Weser, the Nordereibe, and the Schwarzwald have all been destroyed. Witnesses to the attack report that in all five cases, any crew members that managed to escape the vessels were later tractored by the nomad ship.


Phantom Broadcast from the Devastator

5 Battleships of the line destroyed for the 5 Phantom prisoners killed. And now witness the fate of those that defy the Phantom Empire:

An image is shown of a hundred crew members huddled together in a high-walled pit. The walls... the same organic material as the Nomad Ships. Several strands of organic material are seen hagging down from the ceiling, just out of reach of the prisoners. About a dozen or so human guards surrounding the rim with rapid-fire energy blasters. And two openings at either end at about the same level as the chains, just out reach.

A small bell is heard followed immediately by tremendous shrills and shrieks coming from the opennings... and the sound of several hundred feet... rushing... approaching... and growing louder. Pouring out of the opennings WARRIOR NOMADS, they lept from the opennings on to the nearby chains moving quickly from strand to strand using two of the tenticles like the arms of a chimpaze. The huddled mass scrambling to move in the confined space.

Some of the nomads would reach down with their free muscular arms and grab the necks of a people while their razor tenticles would tear them in half: gushing forth blood and entrails on to victims below. Other nomads would simply dive right into the huddled mass and throw bodies against the high pit walls or impale and rip through people's flesh with their tenticles. Eventually, as more room became available, all the nomads moved to the floor and all that could be seen were arms and limbs being tossed about like rag dolls and the screams of the crew members... screams of terror... pain... anguish... and death...

The last scene shows the pit afterwards, sprayed with blood. A layer of guts, limbs, bones, and body parts covering the entire floor. And half-torn faces of the victims... showing their last moments of terror.

This is the fate that awaits those on New Berlin.
