The journey from Chimera Base to the Emperor Tree was not particularly long, but the tension in the air was palpable.
Ketis sat in the rear of the cockpit of the Storm Sword. The relatively cramped conditions left her with little choice but to install her command seat sideways. Even then, the size of her combat armor left her with very little room to move.
The initial leg of the journey proceeded quietly. The Emperor Tree kept bombarding Chimera Base, making no attempt to launch any of its super-heavy seeds at the advancing mechs.
Even if the Emperor Tree was able to detect the mechs, the probability of hitting anything was extremely low.
The Larkinson mechs all flew in the air in a dispersed formation. It was extremely unlikely for three projectiles to strike any of the machines, especially when there was a significant delay between launching the seeds and having them reach their intended destinations.
