...there was not much hope but to continue to give ground and pull further back from the spacial defense and come closer to moonside. The defense grid was mostly down. The Skirmishers were being wiped away. The light corvettes had long joined the fray and various Cybertronion Military had launched and were fighting hand to beam...and dying. There wasn't much hope.

Oyl Slik could see it all from the inside of one of the moon-side Dipscees as he rerouted power to the cannon. He couldn't stand and watch as this...this swarming force before them swept over the moon, destroying and eating all in their path.

The Dipscee came online with a hum, the smell of ozone permeated the inside of the tower and Oyl Slik knew that he wouldn't be leaving Velocity alive. There was no hope. With the loss of that precious commodity, fear was eroded away. He knew that there was an end, and it would be defeat.

He didn't care. In the burnt out husk of a Cybertronian who has lost all hope and fear, stood a new creature of complete courage and sacrifice. As he interfaced with the Dipscee the past became very clear to him, why a soldier would put himself before home in the line of harm's way. Not because he wanted to do it...but because he had to do it.

The Dipscee was online and he fired. A beam shot out at one of the mountainous hives that were approaching, breaching the thing and cutting through to the other side. Or did he fire on an insect and it was destroyed? He didn't know, his visioun was clouded with the fog of the past and the warriors who were dying above for the sake of the Cybertronians below.

He would continue firing this cannon and doing as much damage as possible. As it was, he could see some of the insects gathering to retaliate.

No matter.
