It finally happened, and this reporter was lucky enough to have been there. Today, Feb 8, humanity joined together to make a bid at destroying the Eye of God in Akeron's Gate. Over eighty pilots joined the effort, laden with bombs. Another group unnarmed with the deadly payload of ordinance provided cover fire keeping the V'rix ocupied. If ever there was a prouder moment in the history of the galaxy, It has long been forgotten.
And to who do we owe the credit for all this? Xotto started the groupings and gathered everyone there, slowly getting everyone armed and making sure the wings were organized and finally giving the call to launch from Saturn to the Target. If you see Xotto, make room, we have a great deal to thank this person.
In the end, I was lost in a flash of light, and ended up somewhere near one of the beacons with my camera blown off, hull intact, and noone in sight. Upon inspectinng the area, I found to no small chagrin that the Eye still stands. Sources who remained conscious throughout the attack say that the shields dropped almost without effort, but that the hull remained immune to all efforts to bring it down. So it is with sadness that I must report that we could not succeed.
In the end, it was no failure, for we all, of all three races united under one leader, united for one cause. Let noone forget that. Someone will find a way to pierce that thing's hull, and one day, we will bring it down. Until then, keep fighting, and keep searching. If we can unite once, we will do so again, and if we can do that, we will win!!!
Hail Xotto, hail to the brave pilots that flew this day. Hail to the bravest race of souls to ever fly the space lanes this universe has to offer. Godspeed!!!
