The ability of the Voiture Lumiere systems attached to the and warped space around the ships, refracting the laser beams harmlessly around the .Onboard the ships bridge, Flit smiled smugly to himself, "See? If it's Mars, there's going to be aliens. On screen! All personnel to battlestations!" The scanned the surface of the red planet, locating the beings which had attacked them. The large beady eyed creatures continued staring up into space en masse, as Flit rested his cheek in his hand, smirking. "Send these images back to Tsuokolos. Scan for their home base! Hail the !"An image filled up a corner of the viewscreen, showing Natarle Badgiruele in full uniform, "Sir! What was that just now!?""Aliens, woman. Where's Gentles?"Natarle glanced to the side in anguish, "He's cooped up with that toaster of his, he says he's working on something. I don't trust it, Vice Admiral! That thing, it's suspicious!"Flit rolled his eyes, "And what do you care?""I-I-I can't let a robot potentially compromise our tender ship, sir! There's no other reason!"Flit palmed his face into his hand, secretly glad that the Guild Tech had taken her off his hands for the moment. "Tell Gentles and al-Saachez to prepare to sortie...but to first prepare .""That, sir?""He'll know what I mean." Badgiruele nodded, then saluted before cutting off the comm link. "Prepare all mobile suits to sortie! Fire Lohengrins!"A hapless bridge bunny stood up, "Into the atmosphere, sir?"Flit nodded, "Indeed. The atmosphere surrounding Mars is thin enough that it won't affect the Positron Cannon's destructive potential.

Information relayed from the destroyed laser and Heavy Laser classes back to the Reactor as it began its computations. The laser attacks failed but their programming ordered them to bring the ship in for... experimentation. The Reactor sent forth pulses to use one of their more powerful weapons on the ship to ground it. The lumbering Fortress moved into position before firing a blast below the Dominion as the "bomb" detonated, creating a gravitational distortion wiping out the starboard engine for certain, according to the Reactor's new calculations. The distortions would protect the bomb until it reached its destination and forced the ship to crash land, where the infantry were waiting to "greet" them.
