The more advanced of the ship's sensors would detect several growing power spikes at various spots of concentrated Replicator activity all across the planet. What would be more alarming, however, was the sudden activation of several ship reactors. Various different sizes and classes, none of them with any discernable life signs. Their close proximity and the large cluster of Replicators in the area would make it hard to determine a true number. However, while they still seemed to be powering up a group of 21 smaller ships shot off into the air at speeds that would have killed any organic being.

One squadron for each vessel in orbit, their scanners running at full power trying to gather as much information from the assembled ships as possible.
