...Transcript excerpt from Port Administrator Barras/Planet Guttenberg.
...The first we knew there was something wrong was when the Starport sirens began to sound. a Carrack Superheavy carrier from the Agri-moon was not returning hails and as it came into the land you could see damage and fires from several sections. We had assumed she had been caught by raiders but managed to pull through. Support crews were summoned and went to meet them.
The Carrier had landed badly and sat in silence as the crews approached and then all hell broke loose!
Bay doors fell and great wheels shot out, dark purple livery with lasers and rocket pods blazing as they moved out from the ship and began to tear through them. Like the ripples from a stone in the water, they spread out, wave after wave of them moving out, and then came troops. Rank upon rank of armoured shapes roaring in their advance, flashes of purple amongst dull armour and sickly green skin.
I hid in the server room as the Starport burned and they told me what they had done afterward, the whole city on flames and ruin, the scars of their wheels and guns everywhere. By the time the Militia could gather enough to counter-attack they had pulled out and left only the dead, impaled and violated.
It was only much later when the clearing up began that the real reason for the attack was discovered. The Starport and all that had come after had just been a feint, a distraction while others had gone to the University and taken the archives. All of it gone, a thousand years of history from paper to data spool to Crystal chip. All taken.
I still cannot sleep...
I have made a concerted effort this year to be more strategic with my painting so I can actually field whole painted units armies. With the Ion Age I have been pushing with my Shia Khan forces and finally completed my Malig figures, many of which I have had for 20+ years!
