With a good grasp of the Bird's capabilities, they had little to fear. In merely three days, the team was able to do as much damage as they did in the previous six. To safely test the Astra Critias trigger hypothesis, the assault team retreated after reaching the 49% shell damage mark and sent a lone biomech to hit the damage threshold. Astra Critias triggered exactly at the 50% mark, proving their hypothesis to be true. Once again, the biomech was erased without a trace.
The production of the defensive model Idearn was completed during the opening of the black hole. She will spearhead the next assault.
