The drones behaved oddly the damaged ones put themselves in front of the undamaged ones that took cover. the forwards ones didn't fire but collected data before being destroyed, the data was passed to the to the others and back home. None fired.
The live drones contacted rio asking for orders, they would flee rather than fire back with out orders as Kan had ordered them to.
The marines were closing on the city and the SBS guys were on the out skirts and started to infiltrate into it.
Kan was close to shutting the drones off now. They were proving them selves capable but currently badly commanded.

Officer Carrol Borza, New Astrapolis Suburbs "What the hell?" My partner said. I woke up and looked out where he was pointing. "What are they doing with guns? I don't like this. I guess we should go stop them." "Right." I said and turned the car on. I flipped the lights and sirens and then pulled out and drove toward the people. After only a moment, I stopped the car, grabbed my assault rifle, and opened my door. I put the rifle between the body and the door and said, "This is the New Astrapolis Police Department. Drop your weapons, put your hands behind your head, and get on the ground. You're under arrest." Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I saw Luca say something, and then grabbed the headset off of her. I threw it on the ground and smashed it. "What the hell was that?" I already have a vague idea of what that was. She probably told them to attack me. "What the hell are you thinking?" Over my radio, someone said, "The things aren't shooting back? Should we keep firing?" I said to them, "Yes, destroy them all. I don't need another one to try to kill me." The tanks drove around the drones and headed south along the highway. I climbed back up the hill and saw the Anean soldiers leaving the half dug trenches and heading south as well. I guess the counterattack is beginning.

Field Captain 4AR0MK3 Trasca
"Those Calie spider things are nearby. And there seems to be a problem...", he observed.
Then a mortar came flying inbound.
My company scattered. That artillery was supposed to already have been taken-out.
Some Aneans in Goliath armor then showed up on the radar. Good, maybe they'll have some information on this freak artillery.
They put cover between us and them. There's something wrong here.
"Soldier! What's the news, Sir?!", I asked, I didn't see his name.
Then they opened fire at us.
"Move, it's Ticks!", I ordered. Two of my personnel didn't have weapons ready, the dove on top of Pvts. Tareq and Haenri, thinking this was an ambush. They took out the EM49 next to me with a rapid succession of rocket grenades.
They were on the Anean channels though. We heard them on the radio so I shouted, "Friendly Fire! Friendly Fire! Stop firing at once!"
They paused a moment. Probably just reloading. The EM49 fell over, a stream of liquified deochal shooting from the hole they shot through it's core.
four of my company had already radioed into OPCOM. "We've got one down!", they shouted, then saw one of the ones that jumped in front of Tareq and Haenri, similarly splurting the green material, "Make that two. We need Medivac now, two Oh's, possible deochal exposure. Two M's down."
I guess they were Megamantics in disguise, because they opened fire again. "Damn it!", I shouted.
Pvt. Cklak then fired some rocket grenades toward them. "Make sure ASE command gets this! Megamantics is infiltrating the ranks somehow!"
Then they ducked under cover again. Finally a radio response, it was some younger guy based on the voice, "Sorry sir, we got orders to take out all of the drones and you all kinda look the same".
I threw a small rock at him.
"You buncha shit heads!", I shouted.
Cklak radioed into Anean Command the false-alarm. Then pestered OPCOM for that medivac.
"Trasca to OPCOM, We got accidental friendly fire up here. Where's that medivac?", I radioed in.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
OPCOM - Commander Dean
I sent a message to IX, "Your men are shooting us, IX! They're shooting the Calie Drones AND us! Tell them to stop shooting us immediately or I will order them all to pull out!"
What the hell is going on with him?

Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun I saw some shooting out of the corner of my eye. Where the Miokalians should be. That's not good. Of course, then I got some message. I ignored it for now. I used my jetpack to launch me over to where the shooting was. I smashed into the ground with a loud thud and shaking. I flipped my helmet visor up and said, "What the FUCK just happened here?"

Another one arrived, but he seemed to be talking and in charge.
I said, "We got ambushed by these dicks here and had a friendly fire incident. It's under control now, we're just waiting for medivac to pick up four. The situation is under control."

"Engkori. No one here knows what they're doing, move it out, we're heading into the city."
"Aye sir."
The tankettes and Ontos's revved up their engines, dragging the light tanks from the ditches that they created upon landing. The Aatuylvans would move around the main force, and head to strike the northern side of the city, to use their mobility to their advantage in the narrow side streets. Thankfully the Airdaemon's hadn't been hit by any anti-aircraft fire just yet, and were able to give them a little bit of information as to the layout of the city...
The prime turned to the Inquisitor, and spoke in a very hurried english.
"I am sorry, but perhaps it is best that we move in now on our own, as you and the others...seem to be having a chain of command issue. We will follow the orders of those inside the city after we have secured a base of operations."
-----------------------------------------------
"Sir! A call came in, from the Miokalians."
"Miokalians? We..don't we have a hotline for them?"
"Yessir, but due to issues in setting it up it was...well they had to be redirected. Turns out they've been on hold listening to Aatuylvan operas for the past twenty minutes."
"That's..not a good thing. What'd they want?"
"Confirmation on a device launched..."
"...thank the gods it wasn't pointed at them. Non-nuclear missile support given to the Aneans against a Megamantics armor column, tell them that."
"Aye sir."

The SBS guy sighed "Guys we're on your side, if we weren't we would not be having this conversation. We're commonwealth special forces on secondment to IX's forces. We wanted to make contact with you, if we didn't...well lets just say it would not be good for you.
We might not look that military to you, but nice pressed uniforms are the least of our concern. Best warn your guys that there is a regiment of commonwealth marines heading this way...they tend to be more trigger happy than my guys. I could drop my weapon and do as you ask or I could start co-ordinating with you.
Where are their main supply dumps?"
---
Meanwhile to the rear the celt and saxon air craft had started landing on the road. They were out of fuel, how ever like almost all commonwealth military air craft they were designed to use improvised runways. The commonwealth military was very familure with preemptive strikes all of them had been on the receiving end of them and had carried them out back before unification. The teerie had almost taken the saeie air forces off the ground in the great war, so the commonwealth relied on dispersal bases rather than heavily defended large bases. If there was even a wiff of an attack the air force scattered.
One of the air knights, a teerie, got on her com "This is air knight Xi to friendly ASE forces. Guys we kinda need some fuel here. Over."
--- Kan was less than pleased that almost all of his drones had been destroyed, he had wanted to see how they did in an urban situation. Though he had kept two under his control they were taking point for the marines. Unlike tanks the drones could walk over rubble mounds with out showing there base and were designed to be quiet. The marines were closing now, unlike the SBS they did look like a military force.

Officer Carrol Borza I thought about that for a moment. I shouldn't let him go... for all I know, he's a Megamantics sympathizer. If he's telling the truth... well I don't like the Commonwealth. "I told you what to do! Drop the weapons or I will fire!" My partner just radioed in for SPRT support. We're probably going to need it with these people. Especially if there's a regiment, whatever that is*, coming. It doesn't sound good though. Emperor Isaiah Xaimoungkhoun "There's a friendly fire incident and you try to tell me it's under control? If it was under control, it wouldn't have happened. And these so-called dicks are the best Anean soldiers you can have. They were simply following orders, but misunderstood part of it. "And who might you be anyway?" Commander Vincenzo Soldavini I think I need to get a little more aggressive with these people. To the Air Knight, I said, "Xi, I have no idea what kind of fuel your planes use. There's a high probability that whatever it is, we don't have it. Unless you can specify that, you're grounded until you can get fuel from elsewhere." --- OOC: * Regiment isn't an Anean unit. That's replaced by a Legion. Yay culture clash.

Captain Kalani Foster "Targets acquired, landing zones indicated" The pilot turned around in his seat, the dropship now flying an autopiloted path towards deployment areas. I turned around, looking one last time at a live news feed that was being broadcast into the dropship. "And now we've recieved word that terrorists have set fires within Kolo National Forest as an apperant last 'hurrah.' Holmbergsvanian Forest Service fire suppression units are on scene, and evacuations are expected to be ordered for most outlying communities. We've also recieved reports that a fleet of Aatuylvan fire suppression aircraft have arrived and are helping fight the blazes. Stay tuned for later-" The news report was cut off. "What the-" "We're there- and attempting to land within the city." I turned to the pilot. "Open me a comm channel, now" "Yes sir-" "Calling all radio frequencies within the area, this is Captain Kalani Foster of Holmbergsvanian Expeditionary Group "Enforcer." We're here to assist, our forces are being deployed all around the city- please do not fire upon them, we will lend aid where neccesary. A dropship flew past ours, landing in an open park to deploy one Holmbergsvanian "Desert Fox" MBT. "Sorry for any possible damage, give our regards to Emperor IX as well" Our dropship landed, as it settled in an unknown green space, the back door opened. "GO! GO! GO!" We charged from the dropship's belly, moving into the outdoors. Fresh air never felt so good...

The SBS guy sighed "OK, I will comply. No point in getting allies and my self killed."
He dropped his gun, looking less than concerned, he was trained to deal with situations like this. He had, apparently stupidly, thought that IX would have contacted these people.
"But please let me talk. I am special forces not regular military, I was, I came up threw my regiment. Like all special forces before being asked by the head of the SBS to join there regiment and drop a rank."
He smiled "I'll get it back when I return to my regiment. But I would much rather not have the thaken marine regiment get here before we have this in miss-understanding in hand."
He shrugged "IX asked for help, we showed up to help the guy."
