Chapter 4 - Operation Recovery

ISD 0-0178-124

**Command Deck**

"Alright ladies and gents, I want everyone who's injured with more than a scratch towards any available infirmary online. Everyone who can walk it off needs to start containing any fires on the ship. After that we will further assess our situation." Karios looked down at her chair, it was broken from the impact.

"Seraph, explain how we are alive. That impact should have had more casualties produced." She looked towards the sphear currently running incalculable amounts of code flying around it before calming down.

"Error: Explanation not found, according to previous calculations around 83 percent of personnel would no longer be breathing as of this moment. Searching for answers currently." Lines of code shoot towards the edges of the walls before vanishing.

**Hanger VIII**

"Henry! Henry wake up! Wake up you bastard.. you were supposed to have a dogfight with me…" Octavia would hold the corpse of Henry close to her, she had lost her left arm during the crash landing, losing some amount of blood after she applied biogel to the wound.

"Ma'am we need to get out of here. Your friend is dead and you will die too if you don't get your ass in gear!" The Senior Gunmen dragged Octavia away from the corpse, a few seconds later a fighter crashed into the ground destroying the body. Octavia was screaming out towards Henry before her world went black. The Senior Gunmen was a licensed medic that injected Octavia with a sedative to put her to sleep. He proceeds to drag her to the infirmary.

**Armory III**

Zero was helping his soldiers by pulling and throwing rubble off their bodies, dead or alive he dragged each one near the exit. Both Captains assisted in recovering their fallen or harmed brothers and sisters. Whenever they found a dead person they howled before dragging them back to the exit. Many of the weapons were damaged but can be fixed within time. However priority sought Zero's soldiers above anything else.

**AIR Laboratory**

"Sis, sis! Wake up. I think we died again." Ard would lightly tap Rky's cheek while she was still in the cloning chamber.

"Whaa~ again? Did we piss off big sister?" Ryk got up to rub her eyes and look in front of herself. Only to see the only thing that's between them and death is five feet of walkspace and the exit door. For beyond that was the view of mountains and forests below.

"Let's go to the command bridge, see if big sister is alright." Both said in unison.

**Seraph**

Living metal would flow over damaged sections near the bottom of the ship to ensure a good connection with the ship and the ground was established to prevent further movement. Most of the material poured down to the forest below to establish a temporary base of operations under the ship. Nano wire fences were established cutting down unneeded treelines two kilometers out. Inside some metal structures were being fabricated near instantly to house soldiers, equipment and vehicles. All of this could be accessed by the cargo bay below the ship, where equipment and vehicles can be offloaded to the base being provided by Seraph.

"Situational alert: Temporary land base constructed using excess nano material. Self diagnostics are currently underway for more extensive damage reports. Suggest setting up living quarters at provided structures. Expansion of base will require manpower and material." Seraph would stutter every few seconds, the mainframe took some damage in the crash. Seraph currently is providing alternate solutions to prolong its own functionality while sticking to the preservation directive of the crew.

**Command Deck**

"Very well, I want all operations moved down to the base below the cargo dock. Engineers stay to fix up Seraph's mainframe. Everyone else get your asses in gear." Karios and her IPG head down to the land base. Passing by Ryk-ard and motioning them to follow without a word.

High Admiral Ulysses would look at the viewport overlooking the front of the ship. He clenched his fists behind hisnback before making his way down to the cargo bay with several officers in tow. "I want to know the very moment our aerial capabilities are back online… we just crashed onto a planet never surveyed before. So two possibilities exist, either we are alone in a world that supports life. Or we just landed in a nation's backyard waiting to be dissected as aliens."

**Temporary ground base**

The ground base had a metallic flooring covering every surface until the edges of the nano wired fence line. Some guard towers and defensive barricades extruded from the ground at one exit pointing towards the deep of the forest. Some engineering vehicles were operational and unloading cargo containers at a supply point hastily constructed with relief tents. Soon a good majority of the crew were groundside, Seraph worked on underground facilities to provide more housing. A podium was constructed in the middle of the crowd, Karios along with her IPG stepped forth towards it until she was at the top. She sits on the ledge and holds a microphone to hear right hip swaying back and forth before bringing it to her lips.

"Ladies and gents, our situation is not a grand one. To put it bluntly we've been fucked by fate. But As i see it right now? We have survived what would have been impossible. Yes many died due to the asteroid fusing into our ship, but we alone survived. Look around you, look at the trees, those weird birds in the distance. This is a whole new world for us to conquer, for us to rebuild who and what we are. The Emperor can't reach us here, I highly doubt we'll even be missed. But I promise everyone here if you work together, if we all work as a whole we will survive and conquer this rock for a better Imperium! You've known me for only a little time but I'll do my best to tell your children what badasses you were surviving such a catastrophe! Who is with me to conquer this planet in the name of our Imperium, our lives, for our children to inherit this whole world!"

The roar of the crowd resounded in the trees in the background, birds flying away in the distance. Everyone here knew how bad the situation was, but it was good to know they still had a leader to ensure their survival.

This brought a new era about. The Reborn Imperium was made and at the head of it was one helluva Empress ready to conquer this world for her people.
