We are Legion
I had recently taken a hold of the reigns to the galaxy, the problems and issues popping up causing me to lose time with my family... Luckily I was able to reach the movie night with my kids and enjoyed my time with them, i had used clones to have some meetings and discuss certain changes with Vitiate and Satele. They had both agreed to my changes and quickly contacted their governments.
Anyway, I was now standing on a large balcony in Atlantis where I was going to give a massive speech to the people of the world. I would talk to them about expanding our technology to our limits and the expanding benefits and advantages given to them. To translate that, I was basically telling them that there would be hundreds of thousands of jobs opening up and large scale projects starting. One such project was a massive Halo-like ring around the planet except it would have two bands that would connect at the poles of the planet. This was for more living space for future generations and a larger protection net, this was also the first part of the plans I had for making the planet into a 'spaceship'. Take the idea of Atlantis and expand it to planetary size.
The crowd started to call out my name as various banners and apparel based upon those that I usually wear. There were floating platforms with Holo Cameras; a new generation of recording devices designed by Stark Industries. I smiled as all of them started to record me and the crowd burst into uproarious chatter and calls of my name. Illyana, Pixel, Skadi and Emma had come with me for the speech as the rest were all busy looking after the kids' education and also the new changes that were going to have to be made... The changes were mainly industrial as we were beginning to scale our industries to a space age. First we would introduce new policies that would increase the benefits of becoming a mining company and then gear it towards space mining. To accomplish this we were releasing some basic ship schematics into the business market of Atlantis and the world in general, particularly to do with mining.
The crowd started to calm down as I walked forwards, the smile on my face widening a little.
"Greetings everybody!" There was a massive boom as millions of people below me shouted out at the top of their lungs their confirmation. The snap of holo recorders flashed from the skies as I nodded in acceptance of their answer.
"Great! Now, I know that you all have been waiting for a long time, so let's get into my official announcement!" Shouts of excitement billowing out before slowly subsiding.
"These last five years we have done tremendous work in freeing our society of corruption, injustice, bad laws, inequality and Internal conflict. I am here today to say that this is not the end of our work for the betterment of Humanity. As of a few hours ago the war for the galaxy has ended." There was a massive cry out in elation, people hugging each other and celebrating, no matter their genetics or skin colour. I could feel pride billowing out from the bottom of my heart.
"Now! We have not finished our job as there are still enemies trying to take the peace we have carved out for ourselves, away from us. Together we must rise to even greater heights and goals!" People began to look determined and started to raise their right hand's fist into the sky, as if in symbolic unity. My wives echoed them and raised their fist directly vertical as well.
"The next step, will require the effort of the entirety of humanity! We shall step to the stars at a larger scale than we have already achieved! WE WILL CONQUER THE STARS AND LEAVE OUR MARK ON HISTORY AS THE ABSOLUTE GREATEST OF HUMANITY! WE WILL STAND AGAINST INJUSTICE, CORRUPTION, VILLAINY AND ENTROPY! TOGETHER WE STAND! AND WE ARE LEGION!" The entire venue erupted into extremely powerful yells of agreement as every person in the crowd used magic to create Pegasus of the Veritas Imperium. The view sent chills down my spine as I felt a vibrancy and energy unlike anything I had sensed before, the energy of Humanity and life.
"Together we will expand our home, quench stars, terra form the most inhospitable planets and send a message to all of those entities that wish us and our families harm. We shall not go quietly into the night! We will stand our ground and continue fighting even if we are bruised or beaten!" Another round of similar exclamations resounded in the area as I calmed myself down and prepared to introduce the concepts I wanted to to introduce to humanity.
"Doing this will require change and advancement however! I am proposing a mega project for the betterment of humanity and the survival of our future generations! We will build orbital rings around our planet, wrapping around at 90 degree angles. Our industries must modernize and our civilian sector must be equivalent to our industry standards!"
"We shall no longer harm Earth with mining or Fracking, we shall use other planets and asteroids! No longer will people live without proper appliances, we shall provide a universal standard of living that will be given to all people who need it! To be frank, this is not Communism! This is a system to ensure the life quality of our citizens and to ensure that all of Humanity advances, not just the top 10%! Gone are the days of Inequality! Gone are the days of Aristocracy! Gone are the days of Oligarchies and Malevolent Globalist plots! WE ARE ENTERING A NEW STAGE IN HUMANITY! A STAGE OF SPACE TRAVEL AND DOMINANCE! TOGETHER WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE!"
If the earlier outbursts earlier were loud, now it was almost deafening as the people below all shouted out the National anthem of the Veritas Imperium.
🎶In the heart of Veritas, our noble land so fair,
Where justice reigns with wisdom's light, beyond compare.
United in purpose, we stand hand in hand,
For peace and progress, across our blessed land.🎶
🎶Veritas, oh Veritas, beacon of hope and truth,
Guiding all humanity, in the pursuit of youth.
Through the ages, may your light forever shine,
As we march onward, in unity divine.🎶
🎶Bound by common vision, in harmony we thrive,
With equality and freedom, our spirits come alive.
From every corner, voices rise in song,
In praise of Veritas, where all belong.🎶
🎶Veritas, oh Veritas, beacon of hope and truth,
Guiding all humanity, in the pursuit of youth.
Through the ages, may your light forever shine,

For in the Veritas Imperium, we find our home,
Where peace and justice reign, and all can freely roam.🎶

As the crowd finished the national anthem, my powers creating a bombastic and flowy soundtrack behind it, I started to wave and say my goodbyes to the entire crowd as the holo recorders started to pan down to the crowd. I could feel my heart beating wildly in my chest as I felt invigorated.
I turned to my wives and started to do something that would ultimately increase our chances of surviving the future to come. Tomorrow may be bleak but today is beautifully united! Like that i snapped my fingers and teleported into the future of Star Wars, specifically into a parallel future where nothing had touched it... The original time line so to speak.
'Time to save Alderaan and duel Vader.'
