[@Wraithblade6][@Tyki][@supertinyking] Jack sighed, as he watched the ships leave. Turning, he began speaking to the many men here. The people back home weren't going to like this, but he was going to have to make them listen. Despite being the Earth's official spokesmen, he felt suddenly tiny. As if his actions weren't at all relevant to the grander scale of things. But humanity was on the line here, and even if it wasn't much, he would have to do everything he could. The entire world was relying on him. And whatever threats he would face in the future, he would need to ensure that this world was prepared to handle them. ----------------------------------------------------- The Tyranid ships were currently feasting on the planets of the solar system, but appeared to be avoiding the Earth. Vast hiveships moved past the Earth at the speed of light, manipulating the space around them to flash from world to world, but none ever entered orbit around the blue planet, nor did they enter firing range of the clones' guns. It was unclear as to why this was happening, but this event would cover the solar system in the Shadow Over the Warp. Any psychic being within the ships would find it's powers diminished if not negated completely, and Mithias himself would feel an immense shadow pressing over his mind. The clones would find themselves completely surrounded by an enemy that didn't seem to even care they were there. ---------------------------------------------------- Mithias suddenly felt something smash into his mind. Breaking straight through the numbness the shadow had caused, it pressed in on his very being with immense force. Pain would course through him, before he found himself automatically shielding himself. The Shadow had lowered his defences, and while his thoughts were still absolutely shielded, it was as if his very soul had been attacked. And yet he could still feel an immense presence around him, like claws scraping on the armour of his mind. And moments later he could feel a voice, so deep and powerful it was as if it was resonating with the depths of his soul. "Wհყ მɾε ყօմ Sհἶղყ?"
