@Aqutanama hey, why not
Ephsor was furious, he growled and beat on the machinery around him in frustration knocking over anything that wasn't heavy or nailed down. They were so close, the treasures of that vault were almost theirs but they still slipped through their grasp. Ephsor had underestimated his rivals, perhaps blinded by the promise of something great, a foolish move but he was not going to let it happen again. Two of his guards were nearby trying to keep most of the crew from seeing his rage while a medic was also there trying to tend to a wound on the kell's leg that was giving him a limp. At least they had been prepared for a sudden retreat so not much was lost but this was still a loss.
He was finally calming down, taking a seat an letting the medic properly tend to his wound, around the same time an Archon was reporting that the servitors had traced another signal, this time an abandoned research facility. It was a bit less exciting that the vault but it could still hold promise, as the Archon pointed out by mentioning the devils. However, the fleet was still regrouping but Niryk volunteered to lead an expedition before Ephsor even had to ask. "hmmmm yyes, take your crew, find this place. I'll get the fleet back together and follow you if you find something"
With that he dismissed Niryk to prepare and contacted one of the house's Archons, one that had an old pursuit on her mind "You were right, follow your leads, we will reclaim the great machine" He didn't need to say more, he had dismissed that old quest as a maddening endeavor that would lead to the House's demise, but after seeing what they were facing now, they were going to need it.

Ephsor arrived to the firefight at the ruins around the same time the defenders brought out their tanks, between that and covenant's heavy troops assaulting the position and the reports of more ships entering the system the race for this ruin was getting a bit more intense, for now the Kell would try to avoid heavy losses and look for an opportunity.
"Ease up the assault, let our rivals take the brunt of their fire" he ordered most of his forces back with only their sniper Vandals to keep firing. Shortly after this however, yet another force dropped in, quite literally, and began attacking the defender's tanks with a large warbeast. This earned an annoyed growl from Ephsor, the odd of the Fallen breaking through first were dropping rather fast. Niryk may have slipped inside before the defenders had recovered their line but they needed to break the line open again to get them out.
With a shout Ephsor recalled the all the forces currently engaged in the assault, having them pull back and regroup. He called for a Spider Walker to be sent down, they may have been on standby but it was still going to take time to get here, they could launch another assault once it arrived, hopefully either the defender's line could hold until then or leave the other forces weak enough that they wouldn't have that hard of a time getting through them.

@6slyboy6 *waves* Hoi
A certain amount of chaos was to be expected given the sudden appearance of the Fallen, but Ephsor wasn't quite expecting that the locals in the city would be turning on each other, truly an odd people. Given the circumstances the Kell had refined his orders a bit, having his crew only secure and protect their landing zone and points of interest, leaving the locals to fight amongst themselves. Since he was trying to keep ready in case they had to beat a hasty retreat most of their heavier equipment was being left on the ships but a few band of pikes and at least one walker were on standby if necessary.
As things were getting established Ephsor received the signal from Niryk. Normally he wouldn't care to destroy something unrecoverable but this many different fleets showing up at the same time couldn't be a coincidence "Hmm, yes but don't be hasty. Only destroy what you are sure you cannot recover" shortly after another transmission was received, this time from one of the alien vessels. They were setting their ship up as a ground for diplomacy if the translations were correct. Ephsor dismissed it, he wasn't interested in the other races at the moment so long as they weren't getting in the way. For now he was readying to move out, initial reports were saying that a particularly well-armed group was fortifying something around the outskirts of the town, as good a place as any to start.

So I misread something somewhere and thought this city we are gathering in was empty when I moved to occupy it...
Doesn't change anything though, I think

@Sierra That link put me in limbo or something. Chatting on the discord will be hard from here without the ability to actually send messages...
Oh nevermind it just put me in a weird place then I had to go places from there. 'cept I dunno where to go...

Okay... this took longer then I thought, but I have internet again!
Hoo-ray!
@BKburke notable captain, baron, archon, silent fang assassin, pirate mercenary. You could be whichever. It's pretty open.
