The Star Dancer flew splendidly through the particles of sand and dust that filled the local space.
A more mundane rifleman mech followed the expert mech. They flew several hundred kilometers forward until they suddenly came to halt.
The two Hexer mechs floated in silence while their sensors observed the site with exacting detail.
"I thought there would be more." Davia Stark eventually spoke through their private communication channel. "There is not a single trace of the sandman emperor."
Brutus grunted. "There is no debris. The CFA warfleet must have swept the battlefield for every piece of ship components that the sandmen have managed to knock loose."
