IC Random Journey in The Universe (IC)

Not long after, the group arrives with the rest of the search party closer to the cave’s entrance.
“Aand we’ve returned.”
“With one new recruit and down two others because Parah wanted to go talk to an ice wyvern.”




Meanwhile…

Some builder mages are in the process of reinforcing the new central base with sheets of metal and constructing an inner wall.

Vex is just surveying her higher officers as they monitor the movements of their officers on a holo-reconstruction of Salreuna, still thinking.
 
"Have you passed on what I said?"


A man would walk onto the bridge of some warship.
"So, can you make it?"
"Sorry sir, but it's just a bit too narrow for her, we'll need to leave the rest of the ships behind."
"Then hold position, I do not want to set out ships alone until we have to."
"Yes sir."

Elsewhere, someone would start talking over the radio.
<<Phoenix Station, this is Watership Down, you are clear to proceed.>>
<<Watership Down, this is Phoenix, roger that, proceeding now.>>

And somewhere southwest of the city a few vehicles would now be taking some route to get more directly south of the city.

Some shifters standing on the roof of a building on Salreuna's perimeter would notice this. One, apparently just a normal human, has futuristic-looking binoculars trained on the vehicles, while a diviner, a figure in a white cloak, would stand nearby. Previously, they were just focusing on something, though then they look up to actually come back to reality.

White cloak: <...something's definitely off...>
<The boomerangs don't even tell me those vehicles in the distance are going to move so much as a meter more.>
<It's like they're not even going forward in time...>
<...?>

The human, meanwhile, tries to see if they can identify any kind of mounted weapons on the vehicles.
 
Well, they are some distance out still, and there are a fair number of trees in the way, but from what can be seen...
Various models and configurations of transport truck totalling fourty of them, twelve IFVs, two APCs, seven MBTs, over twenty small jeep-like vehicles pulling smaller artillery pieces, eleven self-propelled artillery of the gun variety, and thirteen self-propelled artillery of the rocket variety.

The human then puts down their telescope and turns around, right as a winged, red demon looking guy flies back from their quick survey of the area.
Human: "...hey, Min?"
Min: "Yeah?"
H: "How many casters do we have on standby in this area? We're looking at another wave of attack from those vehicles in the distance."
The human points back to the vehicles visible, currently behind them in the distance, as they say the last part.

M: "...er...7, including those from our platoon.”
H: "...hopefully that's enough then. Spread the word, get everyone here to prepare for attack."

Min nods, and flies off to do so as the human continues keeping an eye on the vehicles with their binoculars.

W: <...>
<This’ll be a problem if the other diviners are having the same issue then. Filtering out all the extra noise is hard enough...>
<…surely there’s some information to be found in all the extra information the boomerangs are picking up?>

"Alright."
“The dragon’s name is Lavin, by the way.”
