A time of peace?

Demon 1 is all alone, enemy surround him. Many would simply self destruct in this futile
situation. But the Demon takes a pot shot at a defenseless breeder and continues east under fire.

A little damage is done by the enemy, but the Demon is still fine. He skirts the enemy clan heart and marches on towards another unknown part of the land.

The enemy is spawning fighters now, antibodies to fend off the Demon. But he is cunning and keeps out of their reach.

It seems prudent to turn South as well, it seems the original enemy clan resides to the North...

Looking for a quiet spot to tend his wounds he finds an opening and moves towards it.

Damage control kicks in, computers first.

And then engines, with a little bit of exploration to test the limits of this tranquil part of the map.

More enemy to the South, so lets go North again, with more damage control.

Engines back on line he powers South, probing for a way to rejoin his clan.

Still more enemy to the South, he moves East, finally weapons are brought back on line.

Taking the only gap in this ring of steel, Demon one powers up and shoots towards it.

Again a mighty push to break free from the enemy clan.

At last the Demon is intact again, all systems on line and ready for action.
