so how likely is it that there's also a direct connection between Nova Sol and The Graveyard

So then the goal must be to, if nothing else, force them to fight ships rather than the planet. What's the time gap between our CAs arriving and our DN?

The cruisers are five hours ahead of the dreadnought (with fartkrabs arriving only twenty minutes before the latter)

1. Plan Crabs First - UT later

2. Project Eden

So we're about to go public with everything we know? Because if our big Truth Bomb includes anything at all about the Facility's combat drones then Terra is going to immediately realize they now own several dozen enormous kill-bots

Here's a couple of things from the new in-character Serpentis post that I almost missed in the battle hype

Serpentis posted:

And far more terrestrially speaking - he didn't excuse the subconscious pun - how dare they slander the Fleet! What the Void did they think would have happened if not for Triton Fleet's heroic efforts? That the IC would have just stopped and thrown up their hands after their first terror attack on the terraformers? No, they'd have struck down every single Martian living on red soil if they knew the Fleet wasn't alive and out to punish their sins. And that's not even getting into the wasteful murder of Terrans brave enough to admit their own cultural ignorance, coming to Mars to add diversity to the garden and bring forth new facets to being... Martian ones, in given time!

The Mars Cult hates Mars First, its goals, and its methods (initially there was some speculation that the two groups might be connected)

But more importantly:

Serpentis posted:

He smiled as he reached for the button. That hardliner-fleet-heading-to-Ceres tidbit wasn’t technically known yet by certain non-advantaged Martian officers outside of Sol, who shouldn't have access to up-to-date information, now was it? He quickly mugged up as the bulkhead began to roll open and got ready to be a normal Martian officer for the big moment.

The Mars Cult has faster-than-light communications (!!) that uses a receiver small enough for Serpentis to keep hidden on his ship

Unnoticed, a small and perfectly unremarkable but very new patch of the ships hull detaches and floats away. Seven billion kilometers distant under thousands of meters of ice all activity in Facility crashes to a halt, interfaces and systems sputtering out as its mobile unit goes shock still and freezes in the middle of a conversation with Dr Lafever.

What did Speedy just do to Auntie :ohdear:
