The shield falls (4)
Kane heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the green dot still remained on his radar. This meant that Hanifah was still alive. It would have been truly tragic if his act of disobedience also ended up snuffing out his commander's life. He was also not too happy that he did not attack his assigned siege weapon but he was not too worried.
The other three siege weapons were now defenseless as their protective force fields had been destroyed in the latest bombardment. They would be destroyed in the next round of plasma bomb bombardments and his assigned siege weapon would follow in the round after the next if they fired one after the other instead of at the same time.
