Ten minutes later the Armoured Transport had landed and the bay contained the entirety of the remaining personelle on the base, not that many in all. The loading ramp lowered and a handfull of heavily armed marines stood at the ready. Reginald stepped up onto the ramp with them just as it hit the deck.
"You seemed in such a hurry to evacuate the base over the com, is there an attack on the horizen or something?" he asked.
"We're in an armoured transport deep behind enemy lines hauling a load of civilians, if I'm not mistaken there was a similar situation not long ago and a freighter was nearly oblitirated. What other reason do we need to have to be in a hurry?"
Turning to the massed population of the base the marine began to hurd everyone into the bowls of the ship with a loud speaker.
"Everyone onto the transport right now, this is the last ship out of here and it leaves in five minutes!!"
Six minutes later the transport was making tracks back to the cover of the nearby gas clouds and the Kyushu jump hole while the Bretonian fighter pilots stayed behind to prevent anyone getting suspisious.
