Ranarc frowned, and sent back the standard reply. There were exactly two types of beyonder biohorrors that didn't have beyonder signatures, and neither was reassuring. Go full defensive toward external threats, pop all drones, and activate Skullta counter measures. Though stay aware for Hurlocks. And go ahead and stop attacks, at dawn send in a messenger to offer to let the armies withdraw under escort.<br/><br/>They had been fighting with only minimal drone assistance, mostly sensor drones. Now, they would have their full compliments out, twenty four units on average per construct, and ready to hit the biohorrors when and if they attacked. The messenger would give the armies an offer and ultimatum. Either begin marching back home, because the next morning NOTHING in the camp would still live. If they tried to deviate from the path back home, none would arrive alive.<br/><br/>However, he now had a small problem. Keeping the army of nearly four thousand organics contained without killing them would take almost all of his field troops, leaving nothing to hunt the biohorrors they had found signs of. The Skulltas were the worse of the two known possibilities. Hurlocks were terror incarnate against organics, but were largely ineffective against constructs. Skulltas, however, were death on eight spindly legs with a helping of acid or plasma mouths to back those up. Once the reinforcements arrived tomorrow, he would be able to do something. All he hoped was that he wasn't dealing with a full Skullta nest. That would require a full action of his troops against it, and he would have to show up in person to deal with the Queen.
