The nearest of the two escort cruisers begins to track the smaller vessel with its point defense system, and with a high visibility laser array marks a relatively flat area surrounded by dropships that are either parked, in the middle of deploying personnel and materiel, or are in the process of taking off and returning to the [b]Tempered Fury[/b] to begin transporting the second wave of personnel down to the surface. An armed and armored ground team stands within a few dozen yards of the beams end point, high atop the blasted and barren mountain, their pauldrons gleaming with a distinct bright orange and black reflective hazard stripe, with one of their number filling out the role of craft marshall, attempting to gain the attention of the relatively diminutive craft with a pair of batons, directing it into a clear location a short distance away from the rest of the dropships and the other less heavily armed and much smaller groundcrew personnel that are going about their business, presumably to prevent any slowdowns in delivery.
