*A powerful wind pushes against the insects exiting the distortions, just to slow them down enough to give the squadrons additional time to execute them*

@Session

*The aerial ones specifically push through with much more ease than those on the ground. Two more of the giant beetles come through side-by side in the same manner as the first, and they open their mandibles just the same as the men on the ground can be heard begrudgingly preparing each other for the worst as the beams both slam into their shield together, causing it to waver intensely*

*Any people left in their homes are completely unable to defend themselves from the horde, but I direct the planet's natural energies to avoid major population centers wherever possible*

@Session

*From the horde by the springs into which you dove, a massive head of a gargantuan beetle-esque bug emerges, and before its body even fully manifests into this world, its mandibles open wide and, with a an ear-piercing screech, a beam of light roars to life from its mouth and blazes over the battlefield, impacting a dome shield the infantry have on the ground which protects them. The beam shifts across the sky and cuts successfully through a number of gunships before a massive magnetic slug rockets through it at a speed totally transparent to the naked eye, totally evaporating its head as it collapses. Moments later, a thunderous boom is heard from across the skies sourcing from the flagship still in orbit. It periodically lets off more and more of the same shots, though presumably toward other targets, as the smaller bodies seem to pour over the corpse of the behemoth half-lodged in the rift in a parade of never ending bodies*

*The sheer amount of energy required to sustain the state of the population quickly drains the pools, reaching their murky depths in mere seconds, while thunderstorms, tornados, and earthquakes rock the world*

@Session

*Pink lightning strikes nearby as suddenly, the rifts are blotted out with an endless oncoming swarm of humanoid-insect warriors, of all sorts of shapes and sizes, and many in the air but a few bound to the ground. The IA forces shred the initial swath with incredible efficiency as their massive firepower seems to be far more than enough to absolutely eviscerate all but the meatiest of the Kalsimer, but with time they forcibly push outward from the rift and remove the focal point that made them easy targets at first*

*Natural disasters begin to crop up throughout the globe as the natural energy reserves are depleted, only stifled by the pools draining to replace the damage done to the underlying forces of the planet itself*

@Session

*In response to the depleting resource, the shimmering air at various points across the globe, in particular around surface Pools of Salubrity as well as major population centers, full-sized rifts manifest which themselves seem to eek out a low whir as they rest. The IA supersoldiers nearby take aim*

*As the ships descend, the projected nature energy does as well, carrying the people's burning metaphysical energies with it deep below the face of the planet, except those with the will and desire to resist, and particles spray up to fill the void left in each person's life energies and render them in the same comatose state as the trial patient*

@Session

*The soldiers stop moving, weapons raised, and wait in the silence of the still air that follows*

Showtime, everyone. Make it count.
*Flings myself into the deepest point of the lake, sinking like a weight and into the planet, and the natural energy of the world visibly bulges outward high above its surface, starting at the lakes, then lowering gradually as it spreads across the entire world*

@Session

*A small group of gunships stop in their flight path and slowly descend on the very springs you reside in as this happens, hovering slowly over the ground as massive, hulking soldiers in mechanized armor leap from stories above the ground to their feet with innumerable loud bangs, deploying automated weaponry and various gadgets over a small patch of land*

I'll see you on the other side, then.
*Drops the transmitter in Rea's car, and then makes a mad-dash for the pools, this time the ground quaking with each step while I move at lightning speed*

@Session

*As you move, more and more ships seem to be deploying and spreading in different directions across the horizon, some of which grow closer to you very rapidly as they rocket overhead with incredible speed relatively close to the ground*

<Snipped quote by Crew>

Whatever you say, boss. You're not going to be able to reach me until it's all said and done, so I'm going to need you to move quick as soon as you get the signal.

@Session

Curtis: Things are already in motion.
*In the distant sky where the large IA flagship rests in orbit, smaller ships can be seen deploying and descending to the earth below*
I hope you’re right about all this, because as of this moment we are putting real boots on the ground down there.

Only if you're sure the hospital is safe.

@Session

Curtis: It won’t be, but we need to make it that way.
