At around 3:00PM GMT, Arbiter: The Empress and four Testers tore out of a massive portal, heading straight for the western coast of the United States, with Arbiter: The Empress leading the formation. However, several Thor class battleships, which where returning from a good will tour in the US, lead by the SAS* Magni, stood in the way of the Sirens. Arbiter: The Empress, already annoyed at being diverted from her actually job, was in no mood for this, and the formation went on the attack.

The battleships opened fire, hurling vollies of missiles at the Sirens, who returned in kind with DEW* fire. Arbiter: The Empress withheld her missiles, for she needed them for her current mission. The sirens kept charging forward, constantly having to dodge a hail of missiles, weaving and whipping about in the water, the Testers even leaping into the air. The SAS Magni focused her fire on Arbiter: The Empress, which only worsened her already bad mood. Then it happened: A tester exploded in an immeasurable fireball, throwing the whole formation about like toys. A second crashed into the water, it's thrusters shot, but still able to move across the sea. Arbiter: The Empress was taking hits, making her angrier still. But by now the sirens had finally gotten within proper DEW range. Tester 1 shot at the SAS Freyr, causing heavy damage. Tester 2 managed to take out two battleships at once. Tester three blew the bridge off the SAS Magni, while Arbiter: The Empress blasted SAS Sleipnir apart, while her gravity cannon tore SAS Nidhogg to shreds with a violent acceleration.

The fleet destroyed, the remaining Sirens made a beeline for the US west coast. There Arbiter: The Empress unleashed her ultimate weapoln: salted nuclear missiles, designed to not to create an enormous blast, but an enormous amount of radiation. In her anger, she launched nearly her whole compliment, aimed at the whole of the west coast, in a manner to maximize the land area irradiated, and to carry the deadly radiation further inland.

By the time the siren force returned through the portal, the US west coast was left barren of all life. Arbiter: The Empress returned to earth a few hours later, her missiles restocked. What her next target is, is unknown.
