The Battle of Gamilon

The Battle of Gamilon

The Argo is in the Gamilon sea of sulfuric acid.  Wildstar asks IQ 9 for confirmation.  IQ and Sandor warn him that the rain and the seawater will destroy the Argo.  Then a flight missiles approach and they evade, trying not to dive into the sea.

In the Gamilon HQ, Desslok watches as Krypt orders continued missile barrages.  Desslok orders the sulfuric acid storm machine, and then gloats.  Krypt offers him wine as a toast, but Desslok rebuffs him.

The missiles continue to batter the Argo.  Nova, after Wildstar catches her during a fall, tells him to consult with the captain.  Avatar asks Wildstar how the crew is holding up.  Wildstar says the crew is holding up, but he doesn't know what to do.  Avaar tells him to submerge the ship and find a volcano, triggering it to erupt with the wave motion gun. 

Wildstar relays the orders, to Venture and Sandor airing their objections.  They batten down the hatches (seriously) and Wildstar submerges the ship.  Desslok and Krypt watch--everyone knows they have only 10 minutes under the acid/  IQ 9 finds a suitable volcano and guides Venture toward it.  IQ is going slowly and methodically, and Sandor starts to freak out a little as bits fall off the ship.  IQ 9 directs them to a volcano connected to other volcanoes, and Wildstar charges the wave motion gun.

They fire.

The blast disintegrates the base of the volcano.  Magma churns out of several volcanoes and the Gamilon fortifications are severely damaged. 

In his headwuarters, Desslok watches the eruption in stunned silence.  Then he breaks into hysterics.  His men watch in terror.

The Argo breaks the surface of the sulfur sea.  Krypt reports to Desslok, who has now calmed down.  To the point that he thinks it's a ghost ship.  He flips out and orders are weapons launched.  Krypt then turns on, urging him to stop the fight before the Star Force destroys them.

Wildstar is hearing Sandor's damage report.  And they see another approaching wave of missiles.  The missiles hit and Wildstar orders all remaining guns to fire.  As the missiles continue to swarm around the Argo, Wildstar orders them to charge into the heart of the command post.  Some funky looking missiles detach from the roof of the planetwide cavern and while some are destroyed byt the Argo's guns, others trigger a massive cave-in, dropping more missiles in the midst of the Gamilon fortifications.

The Gamilon headquarters is ruined.  Desslok staggers to his feet, surrounded by his dead troops.  He dodges a cave-in and gets into an escape ship of some sort.

The crew of the Argo pick themselves up out of the wreckage.  The dubbers added some dialogue between Sandor and Eager so it doesn't look quite so sepulchral.  Wildstar finds Nova on an upper deck.  She's exhausted and overcome by the fighting.  Wildstar suspects the Gamilons are done fighting.  The ship is just as severey damaged as the Gamilon command post.  Wildstar helps Nova to her feet--they need to patch up both the crew and the ship.  They return the the bridge, and Wildstar gives the order to make the last leg of the trip to Iskandar.

The Argo emerges from the caverns of Gamilon.  In his quarters, Avatar watches the approach to Iskandar.  He congratulates the crew over the PA.  They make the final approach to Iskandar--only 161 days left.
