Evacuating a "Faction"

"Roar—!"

The Mutants twisted by the Zerg virus let out bloodcurdling, agonized wails the instant they spotted the aerial formation.

They raised their deformed arms, grabbed crude weapons such as rusty mining laser rifles and modified civilian firearms, and fired wildly at the sky.

Crimson energy beams and bullets poured upward like a storm, streaking countless fleeting trails of light across the dim sky.
