Draiss took a third option with the fourth group, and put all of them into stasis, before sending a warning to Jashah and the constructs about it and then moving the group to the holding areas of the staging area, dividing the kits and kids up into groups of five and putting them in different areas, allowing the monstrosity to be cut off from the larger group, making isolating it much easier.<br/><br/>The tower was a much bigger problem, and he was silently glad that only four groups of children had been sent, most of them elves and dragons, though all the 'major, common' races had been represented, and a number of the less common ones as well. He sighed, before ordering his units to begin assaulting the main gate, while Frigate One finally announced it was combat ready, and portalled into the staging area, and then from there to the artillery lines. Frigate One was meant to be an explorer of deep space and possibly of the dark space where beyonders resided, if its design weathered the first well enough. It was about 60 meters in length, had enough firepower to take on most anything it encountered, and had enough armor and other defenses to take on a god and only have to complain about the paint job being damaged, in theory. In reality, all of the esoteric defenses were non-functional, not having had time for more rigorous testing, but this and its sister ship were what most of his resources had been directed to before he had realized Ragnarok was far closer than anticipated. It had four 55 meter long plasma cannons, and several dozen point defense laser emplacements and mass accelerator turrets, and would definitely get Verdelet's attention. He grinned as Frigate One oriented on the battle field, the enemy's AA already redirecting away from the air walkers and Grey Ladies to it, and grinned wider as its four main weapons began discharging, obliterating massive chunks of the defending army with every shot. "HEY VER-BABY! I GOT THE BIGGER BOOMSTICK!"<br/><br/>He laughed as he watched the destruction, before turning back to the tower as the constructs finished placing their blasting charges, and blew open the door. No one was in a line of sight from inside, waiting for the smoke and debris to settle, as well as for any entrenched defenders to finish blind or panic firing, as Draiss sent his companions a thought. "Front door is open ladies, I anticipate Verdelet starting to panic and pull her outside forces back to try and crush me between them and the ones inside the tower. Be some dears and keep them busy for me, would you? Frigate One will assist once the anti-air defenses are down."
