On Cue : Entry : LOG ENCRIPTION 6190765d301

At base discussing tactic with some of the New Champions, an alert then another alert. Socrates monitors world events and lets us know of two Black Talon attacks. (Looks like no choice. He is setting the stage.)O0o. Thinks Sandcrab.
 
"We have to split into two teams. Rocket, Ghost and I to Nebraska and Lyzen, Max and Lady Dragon to Lake Superior." Sandcrab suggests to the team. Rocket alters it slightly by offering taxi service to improve the Lake Superior teams arrival time. Ghost will meet us there and Rocket will arrive a few seconds later. The L-Nanite mind link to Socrates is quicker then the old connection, I ask and receive the coordinates to the Nebraska location then activates a Nanite Leap.
 
Stepping toward the precipice of nothingness Sandcrab feels pressure as his nanites disassemble his molecules sending them through a pin point worm hole held open for a nano second by his programmed nanites, then reassemble him at his destination in time to see Ghost then Rocket arrive. (All here have the L-Nanite. Yet no one is using it. Newness maybe?)O0o. he ponders delaying as he sees the enemy Talons, no Destroids (yet), a dozen innocent and the resistance cell. Usually he would jump into the fray, like Ghost, but he has to see first if Rocket will do his 'save them all in one swoop' thing or go on the offense. Off the bat an officer goes down from a missed attack meant for Rocket who was just passing the same location, but hits the officer's cruiser blasting him off his feet. He is down, wounded. (I could tend to him first, but at the gas station two more endangered normals!)O0o. he chooses to mitigate the possible death toll. While rocket and Ghost face off against the Talons, he takes the two men to safety.
 
On cue, six seconds after contact, Destroids. Surprisingly, only two? Is DD running out of resources already? He had done the calculations after taking apart one of the two captured robots at base. These things cost about 10 million a piece. No wonder city streets have so many potholes and taxes are up!
 
Finally no normals at risk. The Destroids are still materializing, just enough time to come out from underground and heave a 4,000 kilogram forklift at a Black Talon. Direct hit and down it goes with a forklift blanket.
 
Now the real fight, Destroids!
