Chapter 173 - Hostile Landing (+18)

*(mood song: "P.O.D - BOOM")

-- Four days later, the production facility vehicle bay--

Erik was sleeping inside the submarine, after so much overwork he had slept for twelve hours, despite not physically feeling like sleeping that much, he wanted to relax, like a form of meditation.

Rose: [Erik, wake up!]

Erik drowsily woke up: "hu... what's going on..."

Rose: [come to the control room, I wanna show you something]

Erik went to the control room, and everyone was already there, looking at the screens that displayed the surroundings of the submarine.

Except for the space occupied by Molly, every single centimeter was full of huge metal spheres, and thousands of bots, all made of shiny black metal.

Erik was flabbergasted, he had just woken up, and suddenly it happened: "h-how did you-"

Rose: "oh it was easy with the equipment here, I even had to go a bit slower than normal since the cooling systems are still not at hundred percent, but it worked perfectly otherwise, super dense artificial bio alloys".

Erik: "wow... how hard are they?"

Rose: "it's a simple bio alloy of compact iron fibers, silex, and carbon in compact bonds, carbon is really polyvalent you know, it can make chips, flexible joints, and hard armor plates, if you arrange it along other elements in fibers... you can get a far superior resilience, for example, fibers of the iron base mineral goethite"

Erik: "okay... but that doesn't answer my question"

Rose: "...sigh... you have no reference to how hard on Earth, so what if I tell you as hards as (%•# gibberish $^&), do I make up a new word then? just call it bio alloys"

Erik: "okay..."

Rose: "... let me dumb it down then, you know the hardest form of steel is cementite yes?"

Erik: "yes"

Rose: "okay, but why do humans don't just make everything out of cementite, why heat treating metal at all"

Erik: "well, 'cause cementite is usually also surrounded by ferrite or perlite layers, so by heat treatment, we get martensite that has a uniform hardness just a bit lower than cementite"

Rose: "right, now imagine you could just arrange everything on atomic layers, what would you do?"

Erik: "it depends, to make a sword for example I would use the Spanish iron soul method, but if i can arrange layers then... outher layers of cementite and at the sides, and a flexible iron core"

Rose: "good, good but why not adding an edge made of lonsdaleite, and a titanium core, maximum lightness, and hardness, you could even layer them in complex internal structures so they endure impacts without cracking, for example, that's kind of what bio alloys are"

Erik: "I see, that's indeed really relevant, why do you need so many new drones and workers though?"

Rose: "Erik, we are going to my mind, this is an important task for me of course, what else than giving it my all, I will also send some and a second batch back to base, the extra manpower will be needed to really make it into a proper fortress"

Erik: "that's good, what about Molly?"

Rose rolled her eyes: "well, she will remain here for obvious reasons, don't worry, I will leave workers to take care of her and make you some dairy products"

Erik: "okay, good enough, when do we exit?"

Rose: "in two hours, get ready"

-- two hours later ---

All meat, dairy products, and materials had been loaded on the submarine, the batteries had been charged, the ammo had been loaded for the railguns, and the repairs had been finished with new armor plates along the exterior of the submarine.

Loud alarms were heard as the interior started to fill with water and it was soon full, then the enormous doors opened just enough to let the submarine and the robot army out.

The exit was smooth as the gigantic doors closed again behind them, everything was dark, but then...

Rose: "redirecting power in 3...2...1... Done!"

Enormous lights illuminated the area from the place they had just left, and light came to the deep abyss. Instantly they could see still thousands of chameleon eels in the area fighting with other creatures as they devoured each other, from mountain like crabs with conical upper shells, to fast moving fish the size of trucks and with mouths full of extremely sharp teeth like a lamprey.

But they all stopped as the huge lights blinded them all completely, leading to them biting and attacking anything that touched them in a huge bloodbath.

Erik: "...shouldn't we... drive away now?"

Rose grinned: "it's okay, look" and snapped her fingers.

The army around them instantly got into action, small beings were easily neutralized by precise fire, while bigger beings like the crabs were bombarded till they retreated.

Rose: "I missed having a decent army"

Erik whistled: "nothing will annoy us with this"

Rose chuckled: "well, don't get relaxed yet, there are still depths way deeper than this, and leviathan are stronger than you could ever imagine"

Erik: "...well that's off putting, so how long till we reach our destination?"

Rose: "hmmm around two weeks or one and a half at best"

Erik: "well that's a lot of time to be surviving alone... Sarah should be landing-... well falling from orbit today..."

Rose: "don't worry, she's almost in range of my mental connection, I kept you alive, I can also keep her alive"

Erik relaxed: "that's indeed a relief, can you tell me when you manage to contact her?"

Rose: "Sure, anything else?"

Erik: "well... since you asked I was thinking about those elements you said had no names back on Earth, so maybe not real names, but there are quite a bit of fictional metals that might have properties similar to those on your databases? so I made you a database" tapped a touch screen on a small tablet bracelet "here, can you copy this data-"

Rose: "done.... interesting, well I will think about it later, if you need something to do I suggest you let your left arm absorb some of the weapons in the armoury, one of each, that should make the recreations way more accurate"

Erik: "that's a good idea, I will take a shower and do that"

Inky: "I hate it when you two start talking as if you two were alone, we are here too you know?"

Rose: "well, you heard right? no point in repeating myself~"

Inky pouted: "hmph!" grabbing Erik by the hand and dragging him away "let's go!"

Erik: "where?"

Inky winked at him: "to shower right?"

Erik: "okay..."

Timberly: "...mind if I join?"

Erik: "we-"

Inky: "we mind! let's go!" and stormed off.

Timberly squinted and looked at Jennifer nearby.

Jennifer: "I... I already showered- I, I will go do some research!" and stormed off too with her apprentice Jana, that only blushed and ran after her master.

Timberly sighed: "...I miss Megan..." and looked at Rose "so... what about you? up for round two, just you and me this time~"

Rose: "haha~ I don't see why not~"

Meanwhile, Inky had dragged Erik to his room, and they quickly entered his private bath.

Inky: "clothes! off!"

Erik: "haha~ sure, sure" and the diving suit and armor over it went back inside his left arm.

Erik's magnificent body was left bare, his plump ass and huge boobs, accompanying his chiseled body, with muscles perfectly defined, her belly starting to bulge as the pregnancy progressed, scales covered most of his limbs, along with his green eyes and silver eyes, and finally... were Inkys eyes were looking at, a huge cock as thick as a fist.

Inky threw her fish leather dress away and quickly fell to her knees, her mouth got closer to the still limp dick and she gobbled up the head, and she felt a hand on her head.

Erik: "let me give you a hand~" and holding Inky's head in place, he thrusted down her slippery throat.

Inky wasn't done though, she massaged his huge balls with her left hand, while her right hand fingered Erik's pussy. Meanwhile, her tongue licked the tip of Erik's dick every time it came to her mouth and plunged back down her throat.

The pistoning continued until Erik grabbed Inky's head and held her in place, plunging down her throat till his plump balls hit her chin, his balls clenched and a flood of cum started to be pumped inside inky, as Erik's dick reached her stomach, making her entire neck bulge as it pulsed.

Erik eventually pulled out of her throat, as Inky sucked the tip of his dick clean, licking inside and sucking any semen still inside.

Erik: "that was nice... ready for round two~?"

Inky winked and got on her knees, pointing her dripping wet pussy at him, while her hard member pointed at the ground.

Inky: "fuck me~"

Erik didn't dally and aligned the tip of his pulsing dick to Inky's pussy, penetrating deeply in one go.

Erik: "Hnnn"

Inky: "AHHN! I MISSED THIS! FUCK ME!"

Erik grinned and pulled out to his tip, pistoning back in all the way to her egg sack.

Inky: "ugh!"

Erik: "what happened?"

Inky: "the babies moved... I think"

Erik: "Wanna stop?"

Inky: "NO!"

Erik: "I can fuck you more gentle-"

Inky: "I WANT YOU TO SHUT UP AND FUCK ME HARD!"

Erik shrugged and pulled out, aligning to her ass and penetrating all the way.

Erik: "this hard~"

Inky: "ahn~ fuck yeah, fuck me hard!"

-- on Timberly's room --

Timberly and Rose undressed and checked each other's bodies.

Timberly had a huge toned body, with a quickly rising member as thick as a log, and plumb boobs and ass cheeks the size of watermelons.

Meanwhile, Rose had a smooth silver body full of glowing blue lines, her toned body was smaller than Timberly's, her height below Timberly's shoulders, but with boobs and ass cheeks of almost the same dimensions. Rose's glowing dick was considerably smaller though.

Timberly checked Rose's body and grabbed her ass, quickly hardening as she felt the firm but squishy softness on her hand, while Rose caressed Timberly's huge member.

Timberly: "bigger one tops~ are you up for it?"

Rose smiled: "well, I can be ready for anything" then suddenly her boobs and butt reduced in size, as her dick grew until it was an exact copy of Timberly's "what about now~? wanna feel how it would be to fuck yourself~?"

Timberly touched Rose's glowing member and blushed as she stroked it.

Rose: "you do~ I see~" she stroked Timberly's chest "lay on your back dear"

Timberly did as she was told, and Rose soon aligned the disproportionate monster to Timberly's tight wet pussy.

Timberly: "go slowly I- ugh... fuck....!"

Rose slammed her dick slowly but consistently all the way to Timberly's egg sack, making her toned stomach bulge. Rose could feel the sack churn.

Timberly: "F-Fuck!" and Timberly came over a dozen of huge rubbery eggs that bounced around on the floor "that was intense..."

Rose chuckled: "that? I haven't even started yet~" Rose's body shone brighter as her seemingly smaller body picked up Timberly from the floor and impaled her monster cock all the way to the base, and easily lifted Timberly up and down her cock.

Timberly: "fuuuuuck! ugh.... fuck! meeee!"

Rose sped up as wet slapping sounds reverberated all over the room.

Timberly could feel her insides being gouged out by what was basically a copy of her dick, and that only turned her one, even more, the thumping intensified as her own dick dangled up and down spewing eggs.

Rose: "this is really good, are you enjoying it~?"

Timberly: "yes! fuck me! don't stop- ahn~"

Rose chuckled: "stop? no one can stop me now~!" and with a powerful hip thrust nailed Timberly while Rose's left hand started caressing her nipples, and the right one elongated and stroked Timberly's constantly cumming dick, all the while she licked the right side of Timberly's neck.

Timberly orgasmed once more as more eggs and fluids fell to the ground: "AHHHHN~~!"

Meanwhile in Erik's bathroom, with a final thrust Erik came inside Inky ass for the sixth time, enjoying his ejaculation as he pumped his dick slowly back and forth.

Inky was laying on the floor as semen dripped from her ass and from her own dick.

Erik finally took his dick off and sat on the floor: "hah... that was great"

Inky sat close to him and stroked him.

Inky: "up for a few more rounds?"

Erik smiled and stroked her back.

Inky: "hnn~ you want some~?"

Erik laid on his back and lifted his huge balls, exposing the soaking wet pussy underneath.

Erik: "I want you inside too~ fuck my pussy~"

Inky: "what about your ass then?"

Erik: "Nah, with that weird glue semen of yours, it takes hours for it to release, better fuck my pussy"

Inky: "fine~" and after aligning her dick, penetrated Erik's wet pussy, her dick was sorter than Erik's but almost as thick as it spread Erik's pussy apart.

Erik: "hnnn ahn~ that's it girl, fuck me harder!"

Inky smiled widely with her sharp teeth as she started to pump faster, she then laid down on top of Erik, and as their boobs and nipples touched, she kissed him deeply.

Inky went as deep as she could, almost touching Erik's cervix with the tip of her dick.

The wet claps resonated as Inky slimy body hit against Erik's plump firm body.

Inky: "hnn... it's been so long... I'm cumming!" her cock expanded as eggs traveled through it and inside Erik, followed by a huge load of slimy cum.

Erik: "hahh... hahh... so fast?"

Inky: "I'm not done yet!" and her hips started hammering again, as her lips touched Erik's, Inky's long tongue invading his.

Erik's legs embraced Inky as she wildly hammered away inside his pussy, until finally it made Erik cum again, and as his cum shot between them, his pussy clenched, making Inky cum again.

They continued like this for a couple of hours, till they were both panting on the floor, loads of eggs stuck inside Erik's pussy, as they slowly came out, while cum still dripped from Inky's ass.

Inky: "what... hah... hah... about that?"

Erik: "felt good... still would prefer if you didn't evolve that glue though..."

Inky shrugged: "easier to get you pregnant~"

Erik: "I AM already pregnant silly"

Both giggled as they rested on the floor.

Meanwhile, in Timberly's room, rest wasn't an option.

Timberly: "ugh! gah! please! AHN~! I need to rest!"

But Rose just let her fall and spun her around her dick, starting to now hammer Timberly's pussy from behind.

Rose: "rest if you wanna rest! but no one's stopping me till I get tired of your pussy!- huh... right, I had to do that..."

Away in space, Sarah was wearing a spacesuit and sat in the cockpit of her spaceship, getting closer and closer to the oceanic planet, and dangerously approaching tons of floating trash in orbit, by her side loads of crates full of weapons, all fastened to the floor.

Spaceship AI: *readying for descent in ten minutes*

Sarah: "wasn't that... Rose going to lead us down, where is she?"

Spaceship AI: *I can't detect- system override*

Sarah: "what's going on?!"

Rose: [hello there human girl Sarah~]

Sarah: "w-what is this?!"

Rose: [just some telekinesis, cool right?]

Sarah: "...we are about to land, aren't you quite late?"

Rose: [sorry my bad, I was kinda busy you know? anyways... you better hold on tight!]

Sarah: "wha-? Woah!"

The spaceship entered the debris area and started avoiding one obstacle after another, going up, down, left, and right, while Sarah held on for dear life to her seat, as the sharp turn almost left her unconscious again and again.

Meanwhile, on the surface of that area, there was a huge floating city, thousands of pieces of different spaceships held together made a floating surface and over it, there was a city made mostly of scrap, there huge skyscrapers in the middle made of spaceship parts, but away from the center the building started to be made of scrap metal, and on the outer rings there were just huts, small and made of waste monster materials, and floating over the ocean there were docks full of boats. A huge floating city of more than sixty kilometers in diameter.

It was a sunny day and the lizardman priest was preaching over one of their traditions, thousands of other lizardmen of all classes listening to him on a wide plaza in the middle of the city, with only the wealthy or nobility lizardmen allowed to stay close, while the rest had to stay far away, luckily the priest prayed to a microphone and after spraying some holy water on it, turned it on, his voice spreading all over the plaza.

priest: "as per every year!" he picked up a bubbling jar of black liquid "we have prepared the most toxic poison we could in the name of our city, and will offer it to the great temple, as per every year, the poison that makes the great enemy tremble the most will be awarded a place in the inner city of his choosing! so hunt and bring- huh?" he stopped, as well as everyone else as they all noticed a big fireball in the sky.

The priest became delighted: "IT MUST BE SALVATION! OUR ANCESTRAL GODS HAVE COME TO SAVE US! REJOICE! WE WILL FOLLOW THEM AND SOAR TO HEAVEN!"

The thousands of lizardmen fell to their knees, praying as they shed tears of joy.

The fireball kept getting closer and closer.

Inside the spaceship cockpit, Sarah's head was ringing with insults.

Rose: [THOSE BASTARDS! SOME ARE STILL ALIVE! WE'LL CRUSH THEM!]

Sarah: "that's a city of civilised beings, you can't do that!"

Rose: [oh yeah? WATCH ME! ┻━┻︵ \(°□°)/ ︵ ┻━┻]

Sarah: "we need to establish contact first!"

Rose: [those bastards are the reason I'm a mess, also... landing in that city instead of the water will greatly increase your chances of survival everyone wins~]

The fireball approached from far away over the ocean, and soon it was a minute away from impacting the city, the lizard people on the streets were starting to get nervous, and the least fervent believers even started to run away to the ports.

The priest soon calmed his followers though: "Close your eyes my folk and pray to the ancestors! our saviours are almost here! don't fear, I read about this on the sacred manuals, that's an spaceship, a boat that can sail through the skies!"

The crowd cheered as they reverently prayed but... the spaceship impacted right on them.

*BOOOM SCREEEECH!!!!*

The spaceship tore through dozens of building, the plaze and other building as it slowly disintegrated more and more, a lot of the spaceship front hull had burnt away, as it got too hot while falling, luckily for Sarah the spaceship held and finally stopped as it reached the port at the other side.

Rose: [see? everything went well]

Sarah was feeling sick and wanted to take her helmet off.

Rose: [no no, don't do that]

Sarah: "...isn't the air breathable?"

Rose: [well, those lizardmen have really strong lungs, you humans on the other hand would die ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Sarah: "...why?"

Rose: [to start with, the air is denser, it will be a bit harder for you to move, and it you breathed for a while you would get nitrogen narcosis and eventually die]

Sarah: "okay... what do I do?"

Rose: [lets see.... okay, fill a bag with all oxygen containers and CO2 filters you have left... its seems around thirty..., you will let a bit of outside air inside your spacesuit every twenty minutes and equalise the difference with some extra oxygen... that should keep you alive for a couple of weeks...]

Sarah: "a couple of weeks? and then what? I also need to drink, eat, and sleep..."

Rose: [...true..., you can only use force then, 'cause you see... these primitive bastards are techno barbarians, most of their high end royalty boats are made from scraped spaceships long ago, take a battery core from your spaceship and connect it there, I should be able to restart life support then... what about that?]

Sarah looked at the weapons on the floor: "force... maybe I could make a deal with them?"

Rose: [if you wanna get chopped to pieces as a heretic go ahead, but... don't you wanna survive and see Erik again?]

Sarah: "...yes..., okay I will do it"

Sarah stood up, put on a support exoeskeleton, and filled a tactical backpack with all the oxygen and filters she had, then picking a machine gun and an Instalaza rocket launcher with all the ammo inside a suitcase to her side.

Rose: [okay, get out now, they are starting to recover]

Sarah nodded: "okay"

Sarah exited the spaceship through a side hatch and ran to get cover inside a nearby building, the surviving lizardmen had gathered and were examining the spaceship.

Rose: [alright, not get to the port and steal the ship while they are distracted]

Sarah nodded and ran through a side alley, she was soon panting, as the air was too dense, and the strong gravity made her heavier than normal.

Sarah: "am I... hah... close? hah..."

Rose: [already panting after only running five minutes, you are way weaker than Erik...]

Sarah was annoyed: "well, I'm a scientist... hah... on an alien planet... hah... without security personnel... or my facilities, I believe I'm doing quite well.... hah"

Rose: [maybe Erik rose my expectations way too high... so normal humans are this weak...]

Sarah kept running: "I have level four physical upgrades... hah... not exactly... normal...hah"

Rose: [...even weaker... hmmm it's okay, it can be fixed, anyway you are almost there according to what I saw earlier from the sky]

Sarah ran down another street full of bone and leather buildings and finally came to the docks. It was full of lizardmen running away on their small boats in a panic, but... on one side of the port there were three big ships.

They were heavily guarded by a dozen lizardmen carrying halberds, and three carrying railgun rifles covered in useless seals.

Sarah: "what do I do now, the access is guarded..."

Rose: [easy, kill them, aren't you carrying a plasma grenade rocket launcher? aim one in the middle and all of them should die or at least be too injured to chase after you~ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯]

Sarah: "isn't that too much?"

Rose: [get on with the killing, chop chop girl~ (≖ᴗ≖✿)]

Sarah nodded slowly, and took out the rocket launcher from her back, and loaded one plasma grenade rocket on it. She carefully set the scope on the launcher, aimed at the center, took a deep breath, and pressed a button on the side of the launcher.

*FSSHH BOOOM!* The rocket almost instantly got in the middle of the lizardman group and it airbursted, the subsequent ball of plasma engulfed the fifteen lizardman, it was quick and most instantly died, but the three holding guns had been a bit further away and were still alive.

*GRAAAAH!* not for long though, as they started screaming in anguish as they twitched on the ground.

Sarah had been trained for lots of scenaries, but she had always hated violence and killing, seeing that kind of scene along with the screams made her feel nauseous.

Sarah: "what have I done..."

Rose: [what you needed to for survival, do you wanna live? do you wanna see Erik? then start running now!]

Sarah stopped thinking completely as her training kicked in. She grabbed her rifle and shot three silenced rounds, ending the lives of the three screaming lizardmen. By now she had already been noticed, and as she started running she could already see lizardmen coming for her shouting as they brandised their weapons, she could see mothers and children escaping afraid... she kept running, shot back, run, shot, run... repeating to herself it was necessary.

She finally arrived at the boat, that looked like a twenty meters long converted spaceship and jumped inside through a hatch in the ceiling, clossing it behind her.

Sarah: "what now?!"

Rose: [connect that spaceship AI to the control pannel]

Sarah: "what? how? also why? I didn't copy her!"

Rose: [I did, the other stuff was just useless anyway]

Sarah: "excuse me?! I had tons of data and protocols on there! how am I supposed to keep working without them?! I shouldn't have trusted you!"

Rose: [hah... so you are surrounded by an entire city of creatures that wanna skin you alive and decide to shout at me, your only hope?]

Sarah trembled at the thought of being skinned alive: "I-"

Rose: [shut up, that primitive data I memorized it all in less than a second, most was useless or information Erik already had on his spaceship, so now if you really wanna survive... follow my instructions to connect that battery and data crystal you are carrying, YOUare running out of time...]

Metallic hits could be heard outside, as lots of lizardmen kept hitting the hatch. Sarah shivered one last time and got to work.

Sarah: "what do I need to do?"

Rose: [finally... pry open the control panel and let me take a look]

Sarah did as told as she cut the control panel open using her power tools.

Sarah looked all the cables some of them burnt and asked: "now what?"

Rose: [there's no power... good, connect the battery to those two nodes in the corner, then break the port of that data intake and jam the data crystal inside, it should be able to read it once it starts booting up]

Sarah did as told and the cockpit started illuminating, something that made the lizardman outside flabbergasped as they stopped hitting, to their knowledge giving life to ships could only be done by the royal families as the priests there had blessed tables that captured the power of the sun god. Some lizardmen even got scared and started running, the majority stayed there, staring in disbelief.

Inside the spaceship, Rose had finally taked over the ship.

Rose: *now, we adjust the atmosphere generated by life support- ...huh?, thats not good*

Sarah: "what happened?"

Rose: *some valves are broken... and most chemical atmosphere generators are empty, thankfully the Co2 recycler is still operative... but the inner air pressure will still be quite high, so don't take off your spacesuit*

Sarah: "okay... what now?"

Rose: *now? haha~ just sit tight!*

Sarah knew by now to follow Rose's words, so she strapped herself to the captain seat, it was too big and loose for her though.

The boat had a fuel engine moved by algae oil at the back, but unknown to the current owner who inherited the boat, it did have electric turnines at the bottom, that made the boat quickly accelerate, getting away from the city.

As that happened, loud sounds of creaking metal were heard all over the city, a crack appeared and expanded slowly, the spaceship parts and other materials that made up the floating base of the city had been submerged by far too long, and the impact had created lots of small cracks that slowly enlarged and started letting water in, creating even more disbalances in weight, and finally tearing the city in half, Sarah's spaceship fell inside the ocean, while the two halves of the city remained afloat, but not for long as the skyscrapers on them left them unbalanced and slowly tipping over to the ocean.

Sarah had seen it all happen on a screen that had popped up on the cockpit.

Sarah: "Oh no..."

Rose: *Oh yeah~ that should have killed a lot of them~*

Sarah: "do you have no remorse?"

Rose: *no, and you shouldn't either... 'cause they are chasing you, to kill you for destroying their city most likely, crucifixion? skinned alive? ...eaten alive maybe?"

Sarah: "w-what?"

Rose: *just wondering how you will die once they catch you~*

Sarah: "can't this boat go any faster?"

Rose: *no, it can't, so... what to do~?*

Sarah looked back and saw hundreds of boats chasing after her, instantly her entire body felt cold.

Rose: *what about... sinking the bigger fastest ships at the front? that would give you a chance~*

Sarah: "...I understand"

Sarah sighed and no longer hesitated, she grabbed her rocket launcher, ammo box and came outside to the top of the ship, the outer cabin wasn't pressurized but at least it stopped the wind and splashing water. Sarah loaded a sabot antiarmor rocket, aimed below the deck of one of the ships, and fired.

*FWOOOSH!* In just a moment, it impacted the boat at the front, an almost exact copy of the one Sarah was in, and blew up only a small hole, but... *BOOOM!* the entire ship exploded violently.

Rose: [good aim! right on the auxiliary batteries! keep going!]

Sarah reloaded and shot again in the same area, thanks to the assisted aiming it wasn't too hard.

*BOOOM!* the other huge ship exploded, and the rest of the ships then slowed down.

Rose: [finally they're getting scared- oh...]

Sarah: "what?"

Rose: [come back inside... gotta show you something...]

On the horizon, a huge shadow could be seen, along with thousands of ships coming from all directions.

Rose: *shit...*
