The Deoglade watched the carnage below, proud at how well the Meerioss fought and equally dismayed by the ferocity and numbers of units the Hadarak were able to move across the planet so fast to counter them. His team had been at the Zanderline for less than 3 hours, and already it was a hopeless situation being held on to by the sacrifice of his men, most of whom were now dead, with the last survivors retreating into the giant transparent blue bubble covering the site as the Hadarak began beating on it with their full force around the exterior as the warships kept the naval spawn away.

They almost had it. The Deoglade felt how close they were, and knew this was going to go their way or the enemy’s based on a number of minutes. He watched as the cutting teams tore out the bedrock around the unknown subterranean shape of the artifact, finally getting under it with only a few more minutes of cleaning around the rest of the base needed.

As they did, burrowing Hadarak units were coming under the shield perimeter, with special defense units that the Deoglade had ordered inside to wait for just this threat responding immediately to keep them off the excavators. The retreating troops from outside aided them in this as the Deoglade’s hearts were pounding so hard in his chest he could hear the thumps over his shallow breathing.

They had an attainable victory before them, not another hopeless, pointless holding action merely delaying their demise. This was a way out for some of them, and they were going to fight to the death to insure that at least some Meerioss made it out of this galaxy to tell the tale of those who had fallen and keep their race from total extinction.

They fought harder than hard, with such speed and accuracy that the Deoglade became distracted watching their final stand and missed the release of the Zanderline. The cranes pulled it up immediately, with it moving a third of its height before the Deoglade realized it.

He immediately sent in landing craft to pick up the remaining troops as the building-tall blood red artifact was pulled up through the shield dome and allowed to pass through the top…with swarms of starfighters moving around it in escort formation, along with several shield barges that flew in parallel with their prize and extended their protective auras around it.
