She supposed it was only natural after losing so much in the previous battle, but after such fanaticism in the beginning it was all but infuriating.ДЇinally the last shuttle flared its engines and retreated, leaving Amirah to look at the grey crater-filled ball of Epiphany, why a Luddic cult would select to settle the atmosphere less rock she had no idea, from out here in the void it didn't look much different from Agreus itself, she could almost imagine the great blue ball of Syrinx accompanying the planet. Three sleepless days and nights of the Luddic Paths forces getting just close enough to force her and Solomon to bring their fleets down to combat speed, then refusing to come any closer. 'Negative Ironside, maintain your position with the fleet.' there's something inherently infuriating about an enemy who refuses to fight, especially when they were just out of reach. 'This is the Ironside, requesting permission to pursue harassing craft.' Amirah could hear the irritation coming off of the Ironsides temporary captain as the Luddic shuttle continued to flee into the darkness of space. Naval battle: 90-10 (Decisive Battle doctrine)+10(Ardis Soloman)+15 (capital superiority)=105 VS 115=90+20 (fanatical assault doctrine)+5 (desperation) tactical victory, strategic defeat.
