"The Imperium of man is here for you, all of you. Your so-called Republic is nothing but a shell, the corruption runs rampant, and you have been forsaken and struggled with basic survival." Those listening vita in person or by the provided holo communicator could not help but agree with this statement.

"The Emperor of Mankind cares for every one of you. He has Transcended his own body and became a God! Humanity's GOD! He blessed me with the ability to save you, save ALL of humanity!" Marcus knew that the God-Emperor only blessed his permission of using his Empire's name but perhaps he would be blessed more if he expands his Empire.

"Do not be afraid... The Imperium of man is an Empire for Mankind. Humanity exists for the sole purpose of reining supreme, we have accumulated years of anger towards an alien species who believe themselves as betters." Marcus wanted the people, HIS people to understand that Humanity itself is capable of so much.

"Some may think that our bodies are weak, soft, and vulnerable but that's because we have not had the opportunity to prove what our genetics are truly capable of!" Those listening felt something within themselves ignite. Everyone here has suffered one way or another but yet they remain.

"I have a dream... To make all of you, all of humanity, break their shackles and become greater than you could have possibly envisioned. Be it, farmers or even the basics of soldiers who fight for their families. I want to be greater! No more poverty, no more hunger, no more homelessness!" Marcus knew that his words would take years to show but he wanted to be greater.

"The Xeno species infiltrated our planets, our government, our life! They place heretics in our leader's positions and ravage our world claiming it's for our sake! WRONG!" Nobody knew who spoke first but soon the crowd began a chain reaction resulting in everyone agreeing.

"Humanity will take back our place are rulers! Humanity will crush the Republic who claims itself as a democracy! Humanity will unite itself to free our brothers and sisters who are forced into enslavement!" Everyone could not help but cheer, they would be a part of something greater. Something that should have been made in the first place.

"I've been blessed by the God-Emperor himself to build this Empire, To SAVE Humanity and bring forth a Golden Age! We are bound together, brother and sisters who fight for a higher purpose of safeguarding our children to come and their children's children's! Will you stand with me? Create an Empire that will save humanity?" Everyone roared out their acceptance. They would build a civilization for their descendants like no other, just so that they would not have to be forced to experience their previous way of life.

"I can not do this alone. I will not lie to you, people will perish and you may leave your sons or daughter behind after you have fallen but will you lay down and let your children be taken away as slaves? Why not possibly sacrifice your life so that your free children can tell your heroic deeds to their children! Become legendary heroes who fought for the freedom of our entire species!" Everyone envisioned their current or even future child being stolen away and enslaved. They would rather die than let them become slaves to others! If their death will save them... so be it. Suddenly they all agreed on one thing, this was their chance to become something more.

"If you are faithful to the Imperium then I will be your aid! If you need assistance the Imperium will be there! Everyone here has unlimited potential, all of humanity has this right! Will you limit yourself to scraps or will you fight for the benefit of all?" All Marcus could hear was screams of acceptance as he could already tell some people already looked towards him as a man blessed by their new God.

"It will not be easy, it will take a long time for our efforts to shine. Even in death, you would be welcome into our God's kingdom, now and forever and all you must do is pray to him. The God-Emperor can hear each and every one of you and I am his vessel of communication for all of humanity." Everyone would remember the term God-Emperor alongside Marcus who was capable of communicating with such a being. He was his chosen, would disrespect to Marcus be no different than towards the God-Emperor?

Marcus then continued his speech for the next half hour talking about how he would do his part in the grand scheme of things until he finally finished his speech.

Meanwhile within the Jedi Temple located on Coruscant but more specifically the Council room sat The Grand Master of the Jedi order. He however wasn't alone as the rest of the council were also present.

"Another Echo of the force appeared it has... Unknown where it originated from. Anyone have answers you may have?" As Yoda spoke everyone attention was turned towards Saesee Tiin who spoke up.

"I overheard a rumor stating that Jedi knight Obi-Wan Kenobi's padawan has been seeing force visions lately regarding an enormous army. The one particular rumor that I've heard spoke of large hunks of metal walking around with Slugthrowers decimating white armored soldiers." The other Council members have indeed heard of these rumors and would normally ignore such a thing from younglings and padawans but this was no normal time.

"Bring the boy in? Ask questions you like?" Yoda spoke out causing most members to agree with the suggestion. If they could find use in the so-called visions then great and if not, then they would have lost nothing but time.

Those who did not agree with bringing the child to clarify his visions simply believe it was just the child having dreams or nightmares. The most adamant about this was Master Windu but he decided to remain silent as Yoda was still the Grand Master afterall.
