Subject: Satellites should have detected the arrival....

...but they didn't.

Security feeds should have recorded something....

...but they didn't.

Even the portal sensors would have picked something up....

...but they didn't.

Even passers-by should have thought something amiss...

...but they didn't.

Light shone in the docking bay as it always did, ships coming and going, workers moving supplies. Starlight and natural light reflected off the various metal surfaces. But two shimmers were more than light, originating from deep in space, as starlight often does. But where there was a green and a red flash now stood two figures of those same hues. Lewa, the green one stood hunched, an axe for a right hand and a double-barreled blaster for his left. There was something almost simian about his appearance. The red one, Tahu, held a flaming sword and began immediately stomping about, taking in their new environment.

"Why have we been drawn HERE Lewa? There is hardly any plastic in this aritficial construct! All these inferior beings scurrying about in menial physical tasks! Could any of them be the enemy we will have to cruch, to avenge our fallen champion? You agreed with me that we should return...even suggested that the guardian himself may now be our enemy!! We six will do what the first emmisary, in his overbearing passivity, could not!! Your instincts will prove true, I am certain....this time!

So....where do we begin?
