ArkAngel Report

Vanessa did know what her weakness was and came to the Contested Turn Junction Herself, only to find out that an entire Combat Operations Block or COB had been lost defending it.

 This was and was not a surprise to her. She knows that Lani knows her Methods, Strategy and Tactics. Hence why she had an assassin attempt to dispatch Lani.

What Drives Me

I'm not going to lie, Money & Power. Coming as far as I have over the past 5 years here I know I can have it all.

I have my youth & beauty where she does not. She being the old bag Mistress with her "Black Faction"

She cant handle business, I can.

I can pick up a rifle and skirm. I cant lead from the front, and I do.

I can command squads up to thousands

She cant even do that. She does "grand strategy" and her attack kitties like Phaedra and Lani do the d...

Conversation With A Temp

I'm almost 23 years old, I did a full contract and decided to come back here to try out some of the Temporary Contract Work.

It was good, I did get to participate in Mallera-Deep I don't think anyone really avoided it back then.

I was just on one of the surface garrisons nothing happened.

I got Sublet out 4 times between that and when Vanessa took over.

I was in HQ sectors right up until then too, I got moved to Central North.

It started off quiet then we ha...

She Knows Her Weaknesses

Turn junctions come up pretty frequently in conversations about Mallera-9. They are territorial currency and are at the forefront of any Mistresses Grand Strategy.

They give the ability to deny the competition access to Azologoth rich areas by simply putting a garrison there.

Holding a series of Turn Junctions surrounding a larger facility is a hub and spoke operations model. Black Faction, CPD and V-Corp use this style of ops as they have the numbers to do so.

They Caught Ayla

(If)

Ayla and her forces had been cut off. A smart trap set by The Raven and Lani to isolate her from Vanessas bulk force.

Ayla was lured across a narrow crossing between two pylons above what looks to be solid ground but is in fact, liquid earth.

She crossed with over 600 V-Corp Combat Assets into a high deep cavern with little cover. As soon as the bulk of them crossed Black Faction attacked.

Rounds flying everywhere, striking combatants sending them falling into t...

Aylas Motivations

We can only speculate what goes on inside her head, but what we do know may give us an indication.

1# She was recruited from another fragment.

Supposedly by accident, by Vanessa. In her fragment she had not joined any company thus had not participated in any of the major conflicts.

Her being from another fragment may have her longing to return.

2# Power

She was immediately close to high power due to her pedigree, in fact within months she was in charge of majo...

How Long Could This Have Lasted
