Assault of Silicon Height

Assault on Silicon Height was the final struggle in Tortuga's vendetta against Silicon Soul. It is often referred to as the Silicon Massacre by most modern historians.

The Plan
Tortuga had two different attack fronts planned. His ally, ECHO Captain Rike, led a plain assault on the front of the skyscraper complex, Silicon Height. If Rike was to succeed, she was to rush to cut off all escape routes before closing in.

The second part was lead by Tortuga. He attacked with his two lieutenants, Halbred and Piate, along with a choice group of ECHO members.

The Events

 * After a brief reconnaissance, plan put into action.


 * Rike blew up the front gate. Leone Pheron immediately sortied with much of the Silicon Soul guardian force. Because they over thought Tortuga's strategy, they figured that he would use his entire force, hoping for a decisive victory.


 * Tortuga, once the battle had joined, infiltrated through a window.


 * Leone is lured out further by Rike.


 * Tortuga's troops take the control room for much of the security systems. A trooper is scared by a young Silicon Soul.


 * Trooper kills the Silicon Soul child. Blane Pheron enters the field in a berserk state.


 * Tortuga, Halbred and Piate corner and kill Blane Pheron.


 * Leone, already feeling Blane's rage, goes into a rage herself, and kills Rike.


 * Tortuga, Piate and Halbred escape.

After Effects

 * Tortuga, being non-repentant, is expelled from ECHO for killing children. He defects to the Emperor of the Dragon's Peak.


 * Halbred, in penance, works in the Blackguard of the Nadir.


 * Piate, in hope to prevent his death, defects to the Pillar Alliance.


 * Black Skull Corps started by Leone Pheron.
