481 City Under Fire

[Is there a chance that the city's perimeter is an optical illusion fooling our scans? The Omwat have already shown remarkable camouflage technology.] Max asked as he considered his next course of action.

[The chances are low, but with what we have seen, I wouldn't say the chance is zero.] Nico responded grimly.

[We have found multiple groups of Omwat, including signs of infantry, but we don't have clear enough data to determine which, if any, of them might pose a combined threat to Cleansing Light.] She added a few moments later.

[Well, Feth. Keep Drones near my position. I am going forward to see what the actual situation is.] Max replied, unwilling to leave a city to be invaded, even if it might be just a trap.

Instead of staying low to avoid notice, this time Max took Cleansing Light up to twenty thousand meters altitude and flew toward the city as fast as he could inside an atmosphere, arriving at the center of the city in under a minute.
