The Great Conflict

You decide not to risk moving forward with such serious injuries. You instead mount up objects to build for yourself some sort of cover and have both your PEAR and energy pistol ready depending on what type of enemy comes through the doorway. You signal for your PEAB's to come and also summon the gatherer bots to follow behind the PEAB's. As you wait for them to arrive two lizard creatures make their way into the room. You mow then down with your PEAR and continue standing guard over the incapacitated clerics as you wait for your backup to arrive. No clerics come through the doorway and after the lizard abominations no more combatants come through all together. By the time your robotic support arrives the entire monastery is silent except for the occasional crash of thunder. Once the PEAB's arrive you send them ahead to scout out the rooms and move close behind ready to stun any clerics you encounter. The gather bots come in and collect the paralyzed clerics at your rear as you progress. The PEAB's go door to door and find no clerics. Your infrared picks up no heat signatures. It seems that while you waited the remaining clerics retreated. With no potential prisoners left in the building, you head back to your ship with all robotic support and the clerics you captured. As you leave you set your IAC to go to the center of the structure and detonate. Once you are out of the blast radius there is a great explosion and the entire monastery collapses.
