He stared blankly at it all, unable to say much as he drank it all in. There was no doubt that this was a rather bad situation to be in, especially since it effectively threw his path back to the rest of the Alliance off-track. The only solace he could take was the faint pieces of destruction that the enemy base had suffered as consequence of the constant battle that had been going on.
