  1. [March 5, 2166]
  2. [Communications Office, Global Union of Divisions Lunar Base]
  3. [Luna, Earth's orbit]
  4.  
  5. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  6.  
  7. The moon. Once a mysterious yet easily seen object in the sky, it is now a mildly populated colony.
  8.  
  9. The centrepiece of the colony, the G.U.D.'s lunar base, serves as the all-encompassing hub of the settlement, ranging from communications to research and development of technologies in low gravity conditions. It's at this central location that the Guardian Sentinels, humanity's greatest scientific achievement yet, are designed, produced, and launched from.
  10.  
  11. Inside of the main communications office, holographic screens cover the entirety of the walls; Synthetic workers carefully monitor each and every single screen. This kind of job is befitting of Synthetics, since their ability to process incoming information instantly in real-time proves most valuable compared to Humans.
  12.  
  13. One particular alert on the east wall, coming from Sydney on the former Australian island, is patched through to the head Synthetic manager in the communications hub.
  14.  
  15.  
  16. (Sydney Alert): [COMMS] HELP US! WE HAVE A P.E.M.F. INCURSION! I REPEAT! A P.E.M.F. INCURSION!
  17.  
  18. (Officer Betruger-99): What type? Evolved P.E.M.F. or cyclic?
  19.  
  20. (Sydney Alert): [COMMS] EVOLVED! EVOLVED! LOOKS TO BE FROM THE ANGILASAUR LINEAGE!
  21.  
  22. (Officer Betruger-99): Copy that, we'll send in a Guardian Sentinel ASAP.
  23.  
  24.  
  25. After the alert message ends, Betruger-99 presses a large red holographic button with a silhouette of a giant robot on it.
  26.  
  27. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  28.  
  29. [Guardian Sentinel Launch Bay]
  30.  
  31. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  32.  
  33. A red alert is sounded off throughout the launch bay; the engineers and maintenance workers immediately rush to their stations, prepping the G.U.D.'s trump card for the latest operation.
  34.  
  35. A large metal container is pushed forward along a track line. As all of the systems are being prepared, the container opens up, revealing a large metal humanoid that's sleek and futuristic even for the twenty-second century. The giant robot begins to bend its knees slightly, bracing itself for the launch sequence.
  36.  
  37. As soon as the unit has positioned itself, everything is ready for deployment. In the blink of an eye, the platform holding up the Guardian Sentinel is sent flying down the rails at incredible speed. As the platform gains momentum, eight engines, four large ones mounted on the back and two small ones on the back of each calf, start to glow a faint yellow colour.
  38.  
  39. The platform comes to a screeching halt at the end of the rails, but the Guardian Sentinel keeps going and flies off into space. After leaving the station, the defender's back engines ignite; a steady stream of RE-Pulsar energy is emitted from the engine ports that are being used as thrusters both for sustained flight and guidance.
  40.  
  41.  
  42. (Guardian Sentinel): Guardian Sentinel Blade-2 here, online and ready. I'm heading to the objective, now.
  43.  
  44. (Lunar Command): [COMMS] Copy that, G.S. Blade-2. Contact us once you've made landfall.
  45.  
  46.  
  47. Guardian Sentinel Blade-2 continues to fly at high speeds towards the Earth; it now heads in the general direction of the former Australian island. Soon enough, the large machine enters the planet's atmosphere, glowing red hot but otherwise undamaged.
  48.  
  49. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  52.  
  53. [Sydney Opera House]
  54. [Sydney, former Australian island]
  55.  
  56. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  57.  
  58. The Sydney Opera House, once a pristine and well-maintained marvel of musical architecture even late into the twenty-second century, has now been reduced to a pile of rubble. Within the wreckage, a large silhouette can be made out.
  59.  
  60. As military aircraft train their search lights on the creature, it bellows loudly, disrupting the thruster systems of one of the vehicles; the aerial craft crashes on top of the monster. The explosion clears the debris cloud but otherwise leaves the animal unharmed. The monster looks vaguely like a cross between an ankylosaur, a porcupine, and an armadillo.
  61.  
  62. As the animal is about to completely destroy the last remnants of the Sydney Opera House, it stops momentarily; the Angilasaur, as its species is called, looks up at the sky and notices a very faint and small glint of light in the clouds.
