Lady's and Gents, boys and girls this is the next chpt. The Eldar "LightSeer," as one of you called her, is a Farseer, and Taldeer's Daughter (Don't know if she has one canonically but she does now). She did survive but she escaped into the wilderness believing the UN forces to be Imperials. She'll reappear latter though.

Thur Abis Plateau

When the UNSC and Imperial forces arrived they found the Eldar encampment heavily damaged from continual Necron assaults. All around the advance guard were burning building, constructed of Wraith bone, and dead Eldar, who were either dust or horribly mutilated by the Necron attack. The lead elements of the advance forces were Noble Team. They reacted quickly and attempted to find any survivors of the massacre. But all they found were the dead, at least until they reached what appeared to be the Eldar HQ.

What they found there was a scene of utter chaos, wounded Eldar being treated by their equivalents of apothecaries/medics, those capable of fighting ready to repel yet another wave of Necron horrors, and Taldeer and her Seerer Council in deep discussion. They appeared to be arguing over whether or not the Imperials and "New Humans," which they assumed meant then UNSC. Carter signaled his team to halt, just outside of effective weapon range for the Eldar, but close enough for them to see.

The Eldar though ignored them in favor of continuing to argue, well until Emile got pissed and fired his shotgun into the air, which caused the Eldar to jump literally six feet into the air. However the Spartans' chuckles were brought to an abrupt halt when the Eldar aimed all their weapons at them. Jorge chuckled: "Now is that anyway to greet the group that's going to save your asses?" The Eldar relaxed slightly, but did not let down their guards. Taldeer though broke the silence: "I would have thought that you Humans would have understood how bad it would be for the Necrons to win. It seems I was mistaken. If all that was sent was you six then we might as well surrender to death now."

Six growled and crossed the twenty feet between them in the blink of an eye. He then lifted her by her color and spoke in a slightly dark tone: "Watch your mouth. We are not obligated to help you; we may in fact say that you were whipped out by the Necrons and attack them after you are actually all dead. Be grateful that the Commander decided to send us in. After all if I'm not mistaken we are better then a whole Company of Space Marines!"

The Eldar acted as if struck from the ferocity in the Spartan's tone. But before things could get out of hand Kat put her hand on Six's shoulder which calmed him down enough for him to release the Farseer. Carter chuckled: "Forgive Six, he's a bit annoyed because of the fact that we have next to zero Intel on the forces we're going to be dealing with. So I suggest that you tell us what we're up against, before Six loses his temper again."

So they were informed of the forces they had to deal with, including that there was a massive Titan modeled after an ancient Pharaoh from the description they were given. The thing was the size of an Imperator and had a massive gauss scythe and multiple gauss cannon emplacements. Then they received a transmission from the Human forces, they had been attacked by the full brunt of WAAAAGGHHH Gorgutz. As such they would be unable to provide support.

While the Eldar were angry and annoyed the Spartans were grinning behind their helmets. Carter quickly quipped in return to Char's statement that they would be unable to aid them: "Wouldn't be a Noble Mission if it were easy." Char chuckled: "Indeed. I promise that we will be there as soon as possible, but if your info and that of the Imperials is any good we can't afford to wait. As such I'm afraid I'm going to have to order you to pull the assault off on your own. Char out."

Emile laughed outright: "The six of us against a numberless army of robot zombies? They don't stand a chance." The Eldar looked on incredulously as the Spartans geared up and walked towards the main entrance to the Thur Abis catacombs, carrying a NOVA MK II bomb. Meanwhile Taldeer signaled a group of rangers to follow them from a distance and send footage back of what happened.

It was an hour later that the Spartans and remaining Rangers returned and the entire plateau collapsed due to multiple 69 mega ton nukes detonating. When they returned they had footage to show the Eldar that they would never believe.

Prototypes: Geara Zulu and Zee Zulu and their impact

Designed to be the successor to the Zaku II; this mobile suit is capable of moving at 3 times the speed of the Zaku II Z Commander variant. In its left arm is a beam gatling gun instead of the 110 mm mg that the Zaku has. There is a beam GG in the chest instead of the 110 mm mg of the Z variant Zaku II. It also was equipped with three rechargeable beam sabers, a beam AR with undersulgn 360 mm Rocket Launcher, Beam bazooka, ten RPG launchers in the fingers, advanced radar capable of detecting Tier 0 (Eagle Class Stealth Corvettes for example) stealthed assets, 360 degree cockpit, two meters of Neo-Titanium Alloy Armor, a Shield capable of handling the full fire power of forty UNSC Ship borne laser batteries, and a energy resistant coating. The Geara Zulu changed little cosmetically from the Zaku II; the main differences were that the head looked more like a gasmask/helmet combo and that there were two shoulder mounted armor shields that could be rotated to provide protection from multiple angles. The Geara Zulu was initially deigned to be a Spec Ops exclusive MS, however the UNSC government decided to instead make it available to all MS forces after the Third Fleet's disappearance. The Geara Zulu was also produced in an amphibious model, the Zee Zulu, which was equipped with a "Wolverine-Style" pair of beam claw sets on its arms for Anti-Ship warfare. The Zulus were designed more along the lines of Blitzkrieg style warfare. The suits were designed for use as shock units as well as mainline units.

The introduction of the Zulus resulted in the redesign of the Gelgoog, Gouf, and Dom for new roles. The Gelgoog was speed up, given more armor, an improved power plant, the targeting system was improved, and an extremely high powered Beam Rifle, designed purely to destroy a cruiser in one hit. The secret to this power is that it was designed to produce a localized EMP that would shut the shields of a target down and then the actual beam would gut the ship from stem to stern. The Dom was changed to artillery and long range bombardment focused suit. As with the Gelgoog all the basics were upgraded to make the suit more formidable. However unlike the Gelgoog the Dom was given a five hundred mm AP bazooka with an attached beam chain gun to ensure defense at close range; as well as a modified heat baton, designed to slice through the armor of a Zaku II with one stroke. The Gouf was also upgraded, this time with a heavier caliber chain gun fist and a beam whip as a double bladed beam sword.

The Zulu's were not the only MS in contest for the right of succession; Romafeller Foundation had put forward what became the new Spec Ops MS, the Gundam. That will be the subject of the next data transmission.
