To the tower
"Let's gain the high ground", calls LeadBeast.
The squad runs across the walkway and up a long ramp up to the towers base.
The first of the four to reach the doorway pulls the large switch to the side prompting the doors to slide open.
Once inside they find a series of corridors. They fan out and move through the hallways systematic. Periodically an unlucky Dread would leap out, trying to attack the sqaud. They are quickly cut down by bursts from the group's firearms.
They soon reach a lift.
"We are heading up." Says LeadBeast.
They file in the alien lift and hit the control. In a moment the doors open and they step out on to the sniper's nest. Burn marks cover the walls.
From this high vantage point they see more that two dozen Torment troopship arriving. They hover low dropping off troops that begin to swarm the platform.
"We need to clear a path if we are getting out of here.", Instructs LeadBeast."Churpie, eject the cores."
There is a massive thud, like a a pair of deck cannons firing. One core punches through two low flying troop carriers, causing them to explode. Then through multiple supports, forcing a walkway to collapse; and finally burys itself into a large Torment ship parked on a neighboring landing pad. Then the core explodes, ripping the vessel apart and destroying several more troop carriers nearby.
At the same time, the other core destroys more supports and walkways on it's side. Then the core slams into the mountain side, followed by the core exploding. The shockwave ripples through the rock face. Large chunks of the cliff break free and fall. Their overbearing weight crushes the tower. The squad is buried under the rumble.
As LeadBeast's life leaves him, he wonders what he could have done differently.
