Liber (Jaela, Moore)

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "If he's using all his effort to face us then it gives our allies no need to fuss."

[Corwin]

'Let's recall her,' Jaela agrees with a heavy heart. 'Have her return to the Aurora. If Afina's been forced off the battlefield by Taelfagn, I want her here.'

She gives Moore a strange look, but resolves to simply nod curtly.

[Anastasia]

'Done,' Tepen says, 'I'm getting word from Tryll and Surraruthru. They seem to be intact.'

[Nephrite]

"Oh, it's... uh, the mask." Moore gestures, as if that explains everything.

'Oh, wonderful. I'm glad they're okay.' Moore sends.

[Anastasia]

'Yes, the situation seems to be in hand now,' Tepen says, 'Are you going on to Liber now?'

[Corwin]

'Ask them details about the bomb and Afina,' Jaela directs Tepen. 'Since it's a proper communication, see if it fits their usual mental communication patterns. Faking those would be far more difficult to devils who never heard them, and they differ enough from speech that you'll be able to vet them.'

She studies the course of the battle after Baleruk's forceful opening. With a bit of luck, it won't take long to seize the base.

[Anastasia]

He's doing fine. The riverside town is in chaos as Baleruk wages war on it, flying devils rising up and being obliterated. Aurora's forces are pouring in through the gates in the meantime.

'Doing so, but early results are positive,' Tepen sends.

[Corwin]

Jaela nods to herself. "We'll hold here until Sylvie rejoins us," she says, keeping Tepen in the loop as well. "Arrange a Sending to Afina that relays, 'Afina, Jaela. Surraruthru and Tryll report success. Don't believe Taelfagn at Elons Rapid. Waiting for him. Overseeing assault on Liber. Is pickup required? Where from?'"

She frowns a bit, then, adding, "You're receiving from Dana and Bubbles as well? And Rosa and Tannin? What do they say about the communications blackout? Are the forces left behind and the civilians alright?"

[Anastasia]

'They didn't get previous messages, but we're talking now,' Tepen replies. 'I'm in contact with all of them.'

[Nephrite]

While they're all waiting, Moore makes a silent prayer to Erathaol to watch over them all and help guide them to victory over Taelfagn.

[Corwin]

'Excellent. Have the Infiltration Force serve as reserves for the pacifying force, resting in the ships,' Jaela relays to Tepen. 'ETA on Sylvie?'

[Anastasia]

'A few minutes at most,' Tepen sends.

[Corwin]

Jaela flies above the battlefield, watching for places where her little team can contribute.

[Anastasia]

Sure. Spot.
