The other probe droids investigating the Polyanthus escaped and flew back to the city with information on the intruders. Managing to get away unnoticed they would take a good ten minutes to get to the city at full speed.

The S.T.A.P's soon made it to the A.S.D's and seeing three destroyed probe droids and seeing this they opened fire. The A.S.D's were shot to pieces with a few shots from the droid patrol vehicles. The drones were burnt and destroyed with no circuitry remaining intact.

Tyrell looked at his science officer "Are they completely destroyed?" he asked. The Science officer nodded "Completely, nothing is traceable" he said, Tyrell nodded as he looked at his view screen. "The A.S.D's did get a few readings from those probes, they are much like A.S.D's, their main purpose is scouting and not actual combat" Tyrell said, he then looked at his science officer again "What about that heat signature that was landing on the planet?" he asked. The Science officer looked up "It was likely a ship... nothing we sent down" he said. Tyrell nodded and he looked back at the screen. Tyrell nodded, and he looked at his Tactical Officer "Send down a Neutron Star, scout the area" he said. The Tactical officer nodded. This drone was stronger than an A.S.D, and had a grenade launcher. The reason this being was because Tyrell wanted more detailed readings of that area

The S.T.A.P's reported back. "Commander they were two drones. I don't see anything recognizable but they would have to be near by. They are not made for long range transport." The droid said relaying it to the tactical droid. "Impossible. The odds of someone sneaking onto this planet are two thousand and ninety seven to one." He said in his usual calculating manor. "Double patrols. Make sure the fleet commander is informed. I will inform the general." The tactical droid gave the order and security went up by nearly thirty percent. The general was not pleased with this news but they would now be able to detect any ship in the system as two cruisers went to examine behind the moon. The probe droids later reported back the findings about the Polyanthus and it's location.

The Science officer looked to Tyrell "Sir, sensors pick up two cruisers heading behind the moon" he said, Tyrell nodded "Alright...raise shields and keep the Supergiant's on stand by." he then looked at his tactical officer "Do not open fire until they fire first" he said sternly, he knew his tactical officer had a history of being a little too trigger happy. He then looked to his science officer "I have a plan...Begin scanning the moon and the planet..." he said and he smirked, he had a plan on getting out without either the separatists, or himself loosing any men...err, droids in this case.

The cruisers were soon within visual range of the Colony ship. But not far behind them was a command ship that came up to head the two smaller cruisers. Inside the command ship a tactical droid looked over as the ship was examined. "I want scans of the ship. Identify it and it's affiliation." "Roger roger." The droids on the bridge began their examination ad scans with gusto. "Sir we are detecting the ship is using some form of scanners on the moon and planet. The ship is combat ready and heavily armed as well." The tactical droid pulled out a small tablet like devise. "I want communications set up with the ship immediately. Contact the remaining fleet. I want them on high alert." The droid command deck began to send out the communications request. The tactical droid stood ready to respond as the large screen came up.

Once the word of the Polyanthus got back to the capital Grievous was not pleased with the news. "Send out two drop ships from the fleet. I want them to land just out of range and have their ship destroyed and their occupants killed. Once it is done and there are any survivors bring them back as prisoners." The general gave his orders with the same gusto and strength he gave with all his commands. From the blockade one of the capital ships sent down two drop ships. Each one had six tanks, eight S.T.A.P's, five M.T.T's four of them with one hundred and twelve battle droids and the fifth with twenty droidekas. The ships are coming down to land on an average sized clearing near by where they would be able to drop troops to march along the mountains rather flat surface and attack the Polyanthus and it's crew.

By the time the droids arrived all that was visible was the plant covered shuttle. The polyanthus didn't seem to be there.

The ship had EM plating, however it was no longer active. The ship was a little more than four kilometers long, the inside of the ship even had a few subway like trains running from one end of the ship to the other. It was two and a half kilometers wide, and it had roughly 55,000 people on board. Though, being a colony ship it was likely most of those people were civilians. It had four massive hanger bays, hangar bays too big for normal fighters. It looked like one could almost squeeze a Munificent-class ship inside them. They had many weapons along the hull, but they were not active right now, just their shields were. The engine type was not of any known configuration, it did not even function like a hyper-space engine.

Tyrell looked to his com officer, then nodded "Greetings, I am Captain Tyrell of the starship, A.R.K. We apologize if we have intruded in your space, but we are tracking a ship that attempted to kidnap and kill people on our ship, we tracked the ship signature here...we were hoping we could find and detain them without you knowing anything, but it seems that is not possible now" he said respectfully, he knew a ship landed here...he was hoping he could at least trick them into thinking this, so both sides would not have to take any...unnecessary loses.

"You have still entered separatist space. More importantly you entered forbidden space. This area is not allowed to have any trespassers. Your refusal to contact our ships or inform us of a hostile will be seen as a malicious act. For now you will be detained for interrogation and you will need to provide data on this rouge ship." The tactical droid says with his monotone voice. The droid ships came around and began to approach the large ship with fighters flying along side them.

As the droid soldiers approached the Polyanthus they saw the old shuttle. "This shuttle appears to have been here a while." A droid in a tank said to the command droid. "Yea. But we got readings. So we should investigate. Send in the first wave of droids." "Roger roger." Twenty standard battle droids marched towards to ship guns ready.

"Great...."Naal said, seeing the droids. Thankfully he was hidden from sight.. "They know we're here."He said. "ZK, keep your eyes on them, and alert me of their movements if they get close to the dig site. I'll go warn the others."Naal said, hopping up and leaving.

"They know we're here!"Naal said walking into the cave they were digging in. "What?"Paana asked glancing at the Quarian. "They know we're on the planet. They sent a squad to investigate."Naal said. "Alright, everyone gather up what we've found we've gotta get going now."Paana ordered.

Tyrell got a dark look "We are not allowing any droids on a CIVILIAN vessel, we do not trust you wont just push the 'kill' switch and start slaughtering our people!" he said sternly, "You will not detain us, you will either allow us to keep searching for this vessel, or we will be forced to fire any vessel that comes within five kilometers of this vessel!" he said, clearly meaning it. Tyrell knew this could lead to a fight, but his people comes first!

"You entered our space. You will follow protocol or be considered enemies of the separatist cause. Then your casualties would be critically larger." The tactical droid was telling facts. going to war would certainly lead to the ships destruction at some point. "You have one more chance allow us to land. We will have to talk about your options." He says as the ships continue to advance. The message had been sent to the fleet. They would know whatever happened and react accordingly. The blockade would not be broken by the A.R.K and it would surely be destroyed in a direct fight.

The droids wandered up and examined the disguised Polyanthus. "The ship seems old?" A droid says. They look at the ships but don't leave they walk towards the cave entrance behind the ship. The ship then flickered and the droids saw it. "Wait a minute. It has a hologram camouflage system. The general would like this. Ok detain the ship." The droid commander in the tank says. "Wait what about the occupants of the ship?" One of the droids that examined the ship said.

"The Separatist Synthetics have detected the Ship."ZK said over the comms. "Alright. We'll be above ground in a momment. Try your best to distract them."Paana responded. "Tell the ship to stay in the air and move towards the cave, we're almost out. Once we're out, tell them to drop the husk bombs. And make sure the Brute and Banshee variants a dropped as well."Paana added. "Noted."ZK said, before relaying the information to the pilot of the Polyanthus.

Soon the Polyanthus crew had exited the cave. "We're out." Paana said over the comms. Once the Pilot got that information he decloaked the ship. The Polyanthus currently had its plating change to a red and tan color, though it was evidently Salarian in design. The hangar opened, with several shuttles exiting the ship. The shuttles crashed into the ground, as the Polyanthus headed over to the cave to allow its crew onto the ship.

His gaze narrowed "So, you are unwilling to reason...pitty, I thought we could both get out of this without any unnecessary death..." he then looked to his tactical officer, then back at the screen "I will not trust a droid... You follow follow programming, not mental thought" he then folded his arms "You may out number us...but you would be a fool to think we are over confident, cocky bastards in a ship. No... we have been through these situations before. We know how to handle them" he said and he snaped his finger "Tell you what droid, you don't come any closer, and I wont send those people that you are fighting down there weapons" he said with a smirk "If we managed to smuggle weapons or tech down there...it would sure set you back would it not? Cause you to take more losses then needed. You could have that... or let us continue our search and you don't have to fight a war on TWO fronts!... I give you one...last...chance, before I blow your ship out of the sky" he said and cut the com, he knew they could not destroy a whole blockade...

but he knew they could do some damage, and that they would not even need to blow the blockade up, just fight there way through and get to TA space, because he knew TA does not tolerate tresspassers.

He looked to his tactical officer "Prime Spinal lance Cannon one and two...they get too close, blast away" he said sternly. Spinal cannons could rip a station apart, only downside was they could only be fired about two times before they needed their lance coils replaced, and that took a lot of time.

When the communication ended the tactical droid seemed less then impressed. Going to a hologram he activated it and Grievous popped up. "General the intruders refuse to listen. The are holding position without any sign of moving. However they are heavily armed and are threatening to supply the rebels. We will likely loose a few ships in combat." "We will not allow this incursion to continue. Form a blockade around that ship. We will surround them and give them one final chance to listen to reason. But if that fails." The general laughs. "Kill them all." With this the droid ships held position just out of firing range. Some other ships that were called in as reinforcements surrounded the ship. The A.R.K now had three command ships and six carriers around it on all angels. It had no way of escaping and would be detained from all angles but the moon below.

As the Polyanthus opened to pick up it's crew the droids fired. The tanks fired at the back thrusters the shields absorbed some damage but were failing soon enough. The M.T.T's released the battle droids and droidekas. The droids marched to the open hanger and cave entrance firing. "Fire fire!" the droid commander yelled. The Polyanthus soon had a back thruster damaged and a dozen hull breaches along the side. Forty battle droids and four droidekas snuck into the cave and began fireing at those inside it.

Soon the crashed shuttles opened up. Out of one stumbled some sort of humanoid creature. It had distinctively human characteristics, however they had numberous cybernetic implants, as well as blueish skin. The creature noticed one of the droids and let out a loud wail before barreling at it. Several more piled out of the shuttle as the other shuttles opened. More odd creatures came out of the other shuttles. All having the noticeable cybernetic implants, and more than a few having ranged weapons. The creatures engaged the droids, both sides taking plenty of casualties. A final wave of ships crashed, several near the tanks. They opened with some of the husks piling out with assorted Cannibals, Marauders, and even a Ravager or two came out. Out of one of the shuttles came a massive claw, followed by the bloated form of a brute, which was shvoed out by its companion. Thankfully for the droids only one shuttle had brutes in them, and it could only hold two due to their immense size.

Thankfully by the time the droids got into the cave and opened fire, the reaper tech was already moved out, being pushed onto the hangar as troops came into the hangar, giving covering fire to the science team that was making its way onto the ship. After a wile what remained of the science team that was able to get out of the cave got aboard the Polyanthus. The hangar closed and the ship turned, opening fire on the droids, before heading off. By this point most of the husks dropped to battle the droids were destroyed. Without a reaper to direct them they werel ittle more than feral synthetics, some even turning on each other.

There were several members of the science team left in the cave, amongst them was a Vorcha by the name of Grub. With help from him and a Krogan the remainder of the science team set up a 'base' in the cave, being deeper and farther away from the droids that had entered. It wasn't long before the Droids had made it to the edge of this base, barely being held off by the remnants of the science team. "We can't surrender! Who knows what those tin cans'll do to us."the Krogan protested. "Surrendering is bettert han losing all of our troops!"Grub snapped back. "Besides, I out rank you."Grub added. "Tell the others to retreat and I'll go tell the synthetics we surrender."Grub hissed.

Tyrell saw the ships, he looked to his tactical officer "Well, pity this could not have gone down more...civilized" he said, the Tactical officer smirked "I am just glad I finally get to shoot at something..." he commented, Tyrell rolled his eyes at the comment as he pushed a button on his chair's console. Soon, four corvette sized ships dropped out of the hangar bays of the A.R.K, though they had no people on them. They were all A.I controlled. In fact, their shields and weapons were WAAAY stronger than a corvette, they matched up more to cruisers than actual corvette's. That was because the ship needed no oxygen, no food or water, no crew quarters, or any form of a bridge. However the ships did have a few small hallways for defenses to get from place to place.

His tactical officer cocked an eyebrow and he looked at Tyrell "Sir, the sensor darts the drones were dropping detect weapon's fire..." he said, Tyrell looked at the console and he slowly nodded "Alright..." he said and he looked at the view screen "Is it possible for you to fire a Loki at the area of the fighting?" he asked, The tactical officer nodded "Ya...I should. But it is not like it will help us...kinetic weapons are only useful at bombarding ground targets" The tactical officer stated, Tyrell nodded "Alright...fire a small one, any larger and they will have a high chance of being able to shoot it down" He said, The Tactical officer nodded and he pushed a few buttons "We will focus on one ship at a time...we and the Supergiant's will fire at the same ship on the same side and hopefully be able to cripple them quickly...target their weapons ports, once you get their strong weapons out of the way move onto the next ship" Tyrell ordered as he sat down. He cracked his knuckles and he snapped his finger.

Right away, The A.R.K fired a Loki Kinetic Rod at the droids on the ground that were attacking the crashed shuttles, the Loki did not have any robotics nor any actual explosive, meaning it was pretty much invisible to radar. It was made of pure titanium, and since it would travel so fast it would cause a pretty big explosion. The A.R.K then moved into attack position with the Four Super Giants. The A.R.K targeted one of the Command ships and fired all four of its Spinal Lance Beams. While firing its missiles, lasers and torpedoes at the Command ship, while the point defense lasers would fire at any fighters. The Four Supergiants were also firing at the one command ship as well.

"Commander the enemy ship is armed and fireing it's weapons. It will destroy that command ship. It is aimed at it." The droid said to the tactical droid. "Fire. Fire all cannons take out their primary weapons and those carriers they released." The tactical droid gave the order and the remaining cruisers opened fire. The barrage of laser fire hit the Corvette sized ships. Their shields were soon being depleted by the constant fire. Vulture droids where released and hyena bombers. They targeted the A.R.K specifically. The capital ship that was fired at Became critically damaged. And all droids were released. The cruiser held position using any available weapons.

The droids fighting the reaper troops where being over whelmed but they were able to make a come back with the droidekas. The ground was littered with destroyed droids and damaged reaper troops. The Polyanthus had taken some damage and managed to get up and prepared to flee. While this was happening inside the cave the scientists where soon arrested. Two droidekas held them in their position while two dozen battle droids made sure they were not moving with hands on their heads. The sent the order back of their capture and some carriers came over to pick them up. They would arrive after the Loki impacted and destroyed most of the droids but the ones in the cave would be safe.

The Polyanthus activated its cloak again and left the planet.
