IC:
On the homeworld things were quiet. The Omnipresence had long since eradicated all traces of chaos from the planet long ago and it was the model organic planet in the eyes of the Omnipresence. The inhabitants did as they were told, never attacked each other, and never did anything against the Omnipresence.
Until one day when a group of people, who had managed to keep their free will, decided that they thought that what the Omnipresence had done was a bad thing and decided to do something about it and thus created a Resistance. Therefore, they searched the Protectorate database for something, anything that they could use against the Omnipresence. Eventually, they found it- the location of the computer terminal originally used to create the Omnipresence in the first place and the only terminal that had direct access to the Omnipresence. After gaining this knowledge they devised a plan of action which they hoped would rid them of the Omnipresence and the forced peace which it brought. The plan was to seize what little military power the planet still had which was not connected to the Omnipresence and launch an attack against the Nanotech Army ships in orbit above the homeworld. This would serve as a distraction so that the terminal could be accessed and they could hack into the Omnipresence and destroy it.

In orbit above the homeworld
The Resistance ships launched from the surface and began an all out attack on the Fleet in orbit.
The Omnipresence: <Dissidents... Integrate ships ... kill organics>
The ships launched fighters which sped toward the Resistance ships, quickly infiltrating them and taking them over, killing all on board.

Meanwhile on the planet's surface
The smartest minds in the Resistance secretely arrived at the terminal and began hacking into it, attempting to access the Omnipresence.
The Omnipresence: <Invasion detected ... Repulse ... find source ... destroy>
"It doesn't seem to be working, every time we get through one line of defence another one just seems to come out of nowhere!" one of them said to another. "Holy sh**, said the person assigned to monitor the Omnipresenc's activity, "Its found us!"

The nearest nanobots quickly reached the terminal location, killing the traitors and destroying the terminal, completely closing off the Omnipresence from any established open connection.

In orbit above the planet:
The last Resistance ship was Integrated and the Omnipresence contemplated what it should do
The Omnipresence: <Organics cannot be completely reformed ... still chaotic ... chaos must be destroyed ... organics must be destroyed>
The Omnipresence then turned on the planets that it had once deemed Protected and killed every last living thing on them, Integrating the remaining structures and trace metals. The Protectorate was gone, all that was left was the Army. The Omnipresence then launched its forces into the void.
