''IC-16301632642040, Activate thrusters. Destination Located.''

''Activated, LC-567.'' CC-16301632642040 Beeped. ''Entering atmosphere now.''

The dashboard IC-16301632642040 was typing at brought up a message. LANDING IN EST 3.5 SECONDS.

The Frigate dropped through the sky like lead, but somehow still landed perfectly. The thrusters ceased over the burnt earth below them. Large doors opened on the sides of the ship, and about a thousand robots marched out of the doors in formation, and then waited silently. A locater class robot then arrived, and stood at the head of the army.

''Row 1, activate shields.'' The locater whirred.

At his command, 999 robots raised some sort of energy shield. One stood there, malfunctioning.

''CC-295726, please deactivate yourself.'' Ordered the Locater.

CC-295726 then ripped off his arm, and clubbed his head in with it.

The Locater then scanned for the nearest sentient civilization.

''North, Forwards.''

The army of machines then marched off, entering the forest ahead of them.
