[Outside the Drill Tank]

Maria, the grey witch, floats up in the sky looking around at as much of the city she can see. She speaks to herself, under her breath. "Far from paradise where the winds of war are blowing freely in my tired eyes run the bloody hosts of Ares' slaughter. After that hot gospeller has levelled all but the churched sky, I write the tale of a city's death by fire."

She raises one hand in the air: a hand that has a rising star that she carved in it not long ago. A small, controlled explosion appears out of it and she rockets downwards towards the tank, then stops near Zefir soon enough to hear his most recent order.

Seeking clarification for her orders (because either she can't remember it or didn't hear it), she asks, "As the leader who knows the good places, where do you want me to go?" Her question is a callback to what she said the other day in the volcano.

The Lotus Gardens - Zenon

Zenon notes the positions of those with magical or psychic abilities, and his eyes change color to that sickly green glow, before the light begins flickering into small emerald flames. A portion of the Devourer entity caught Jezebel's announcement, and with no immediate trace of her power signature in the area, it's likely she is where she said she would be. Good. Time to report in what he's found so far, and with all haste, since he's about to have company, most likely of the type he won't be able to hide from...


[Outside the Drill Tank]

Inside the command center, a tiny black sphere appears with a small electrical crackle, before expanding to roughly the size of a softball. Two solid, flaming green eyes appear on its surface, before a maw filled with many pointed teeth also appears. The maw sphere looks to Zefir and Itholos, before speaking in a deep, gutteral voice that is still somehow reminiscent of Zenon's own.

"Am atop the Catherdral. The goddess appears to have left the Gardens, but there are a number of sorcerous or psychic soldiers here. One of them appears to have noticed me; will deal with the situation. Will leave this aspect manifested for communications."

The sphere's maw reverts to a hungry grin when Zenon finishes speaking, but its eyes project a holographic map. Zenon himself is indicated in the center, with the approaching entity coming from the Cathedral marked in red. Others are marked either in blue or orange, depending on whether they're psychic or a magic user, respectively.

Outside the Drill Tank

Zefir turns to the witch. He didn't thought she would come at all. After all she was a bit to free thinking then he likes. He looks up his screens.

"Keep things low." Zefir orders Zenon. "If the 'goddess' is out to fight, we might need to force her back. After all she would rather go home and look after her kind then anything else. If the resitance is to high retreat."

Sure he knows he repeated the demon, but this guy is from AMEN.

"No North. There are some individuals from Vigil. Do whatever you want with them, just keep them out of the city." he says looking at her with a straight face. "Should they run you can go into town and help the demons there. Keep damage at the city low, unless needed." Ne points to a henchman. "Take a CommDevice if you need help or so."

He waits for her reply befor turning to the orb. Zefir can barly imagine what the demon thinks, but from what happened here it's just something like: 'What the hell is with these guys'.

[VIGIL Arrival - Wenomir, Gary and Awen]

"Thanks, Mia. I'll see what we can do, but we're unlikely to be able to draw the infernals anywhere."

With that, Wenomir leads his team into Eastside, towards the Infernal that didn't just topple over. When the swarms start coming towards them, he snatches one of his grenades, removes the safety and throws it, hoping the explosion, silver shrapnel and lingering silver mist clear them out.

[Dmside]

Mia hangs up the call. After that she tries to send all the data she gathered to the other Vigil members, not sure if they got any equip that can read them and provide a map in any case.
---------------------------------------------------------
The scanning spheres drive closer through the north. After some got shot down from the emire they will avoid Southside. Somethings odd. Not only are there to many Demons in the buildings, but Southside is Demon free. She also assumes there is something like an outpost in the city as well. It might help Vigil to find it.

[Attempting to enter Riverside] - Felandria and Alice
Heading to Northside

Big targets are allways the best targets, right? So the henchman decided to take advantage of that. A line of Drill tanks appear just in range to use their canons. they all aim for the Giant . Sure their aim is bad, but the more shoot the more hit. (or at least anyone hits)
