997 What The

Max's fleet continued their charge forward until suddenly, there was a portal in front of them, and it was too late to stop or change course.

[All vessels prepare to drop out of Warp. All hands to battle stations. Brace for impact.] Max ordered as Nico did exactly that.

The fleet came to a sudden stop on the other side of the Portal, only a few tens of thousands of kilometres from the battle and very close to one of the shielded planetoids.

A Darkling ship sent a signal, essentially pinging the location of the planet in their navigation system, and then returned to the battle.

[It looks like we have our assignment. Let's get to work. Supports ships to the back, all Pilots to their Mecha.] Nico cheered.
