A large valley flanked by walls of plasteel and glass sat before the formidibly laid structure of silhouetted figure, he mused upon the thousands of soldiers formed out below him, each casting a long shadow in the setting firey sunlight, as the figure turned he revealed the profile of his face, a grotesque shifting of metal moved in continuous pattern.
IndentA silent conversation opened up, the mere remnants of humanity remaining, hidden away, chirped and danced with the cybernetics which covered the totality of the mans figure, "All regiments ready for deployment." It said, "Assault Ships ready to accept transportation." The face of the machine creature appeared to nod, it would be unable to predict whether this was in some measure of agreeance.
IndentA solid black block floated over the red skies, the man looked down once more at the crowded valley, each block of soldiers ready and in position, "Transportation in progress." In a flash of light the blocks of soldiers vanished, each one in synchronised form, just as the opaque shadow of the gunship passed over, "Transportation complete, Colonial group 1 ready for departure." All over the pillared silhouetted horizon large obelisks began to ascend, "Colonial group 2 moving into position, Overlord, your personal transportation is ready." The figure noded, watching the vessels ascend higher and higher, the room lit up for the first time, the figure stood perfectly still in the middle of this as he vanished from the room.

Just as the figure had made his way out of the room, the black night skies over the fertile temperate world known to its locals as Golevur suddenly lit up with a magical blue haze, for those unaccustomed to such events it was as if the gods themselves had reached out to make their presence felt, and those were not busy with rifle pointed at eachothers throats gazed upon the majesty of the skies, unknowing of the plague about to descend upon their world.
Indent"Overlord, the fleet is in position and awaiting orders." The Overlord stood watching the grounds below, he cared not for their plight, or the actions they had taken on this world, he did care for the life on its surface, it would take a great many years to repopulate a world of this size, the more practical option was to occupy the population and slowly subdue them.
IndentProtocol concerning matters like these were well set, having been long established for many years, in lieu of a sophisticated communication network the Toopoxican Liberty Probes would descend upon the planet, a glorious day for its inhabitants as the probes began to broadcast a familiar holographic human presence, "A pleasant welcome from the Toopoxican Liberty Organisation." The man began, stood in the center of a large square, a great many people haveing moved away as this figure began to greet them from the center of their annual market.
Indent"Limited resources on the Toopoxican homeworld require us to expand, although we intend for this transition to take place as peacefully as possible we will respond to armed resistence with like kind, however life under Toopoxican Liberty reign is not without its perks, you will be granted access to Toopoxican Liberty technology, offered the chance to contribute your resources towards the greater goal of Toopoxican Liberty Organisation, and generally experience a greater lifestyle than the one presently at your option." The people had warmed to the strange novelty, they were moving closer, attempting to touch the immaterial figure.
IndentJust as the shock of this eminated settled, the further shock of large black vessels in the sky arose, a general panic was quick to arise, and any chance of a peaceful occupation was quickly dissapearing, the Overlord looked down from his transport, "Overlord, we have twenty percent of our forces landed outside the worlds major military centers, transportation and communication networks have come under target now." The Overlord looked out over the stained muddy ground below, a group of small Assault Boats had landed nearby, their occupants moving swiftly and stealthly over the ground, "Objectives are purely observational, we await reaction before our action."
