The doors to the Obs Deck close, and the whole room lurches slightly as the deck detaches from Stacy's main body, and after a moment, they're all weightless. They can see the planet through the window now, the brown landscape and orange clouds drawing ever closer.
It takes only a matter of minutes to reach the surface, and there's a slightly stronger lurch as the Obs Deck touches down, gravity returning to the room.
One of the massive walls opens up to form a ramp to the planet's surface, the rocky, windswept landscape and red-hued sky laid out before them.
||Ohm artillery appears to be most heavily concentrated about 1 klick northwest of your current position. I've marked it on your maps in your Omnicomms.||
||Good luck.||

«Loud and clear.» Julian was just a touch more sensitive than most other people to comm rings. «Watch the volume.»
«Here's the deal, the webhead is on the advance scout team, and take the werewolf with you. Get a look at what we're up against, and keep the comms open at all times.» Though he had a feeling he was going to regret that last order.
«Where's the elf?»

He looked around and decided after a moment, to doff his usual long coat and leave it there. He only had one thing from his home beyond the usual memories tucked into his pants pocket, and Fang was undoubtedly with him somewhere on this arid terrain. I ran some simulations mentally, and I can upload a quick map of routes we can take to avoid detection with a 72% probability of success to get in and out before they notice us. However I will require intel from the scouting team before we use any of the routes I've marked.

A few moments later, the waldoes on his back extended. These should come in handy, especially for what we're doing. C'mon, Scooby, we got a mystery to solve!
With that, Spidey headed on.

Or would you prefer Shelob?

DENDEN! added another Gigi Memory as he slotted it into a Snail-like device which leaped out of Phillip's hand and waddled towards them.
Quick rundown, the snail's a binocular sensor which can see through illusions and invisible things. The bat is a camera.

Thanks! he replied, nodding at them. Doesn't hurt to have extra help. Tony certainly didn't think of everything! Taking the snail-like device in his hand, he turned back and continued on.

Nanashi wasn't exactly fond of subordinating herself on the battlefield, but fighting command during a mission was so strategically unsound she did not dare to try it.

She opted to stay unhenshined for now, the bright yellow suit..well standing out a lot more than the ship's normal plant suit.

She would have made conversation with the people she already knew, but now was hardly the time. NOW was the time for waiting and listening to what was to happen next.

The Ohm were clustered in what appeared to be one of the planet's few oases. Three massive Firebugs stood at the center of the small horde, watching the skies above them, alert for possible attacks.
About a hundred of the notably smaller Grunts were scurrying around, hunting and killing some of the local fauna, tossing the corpses to a couple of strange Ohm creatures, who voraciously devoured them.
Standing watch over all of this was a single, massive Ohm Tank, old and battle scarred, notably larger than the Tanks the crew had encountered on Zokez II.
A formidable force, but thankfully far smaller than the crew's last encounter with the Ohm. And this time, they had the element of surprise.

Aibghalien stayed close to but not on the ground, scrutinizing the enemies with a keen eye.
I also have a number of destructive spells at the ready, as well as ones dedicated to battlefield control. In short, tell me what you want obliterated.

That said, he was still ready to transform at a moments notice.

The only ones I'm worried about are the new ones, the firecasters, and the Tank. The small ones aren't half as tough as one of Destron's mutants, I've killed dozens of them. He looks over his shoulder at Julian. There was no point in saying it again, the boy knew that everyone was waiting on his word. Kazami may be used to working alone, but he's lead, and been led, often enough to have some discipline about things.
