The soldiers stared at the horizon in awe. Even the mighty Lords found themselves captivated by what they were seeing with their eyes.
Beyond the raging blizzard, a structure loomed menacingly. Its sheer size made every city on Neptune pale in comparison. Undoubtedly this was the swarm's main hub, one of the most dangerous places in the solar system… And where the queen that ruled over each extension of the hive across the planet resided.
Everything that the soldiers had done was for this moment. Successfully eradicating the alien's ruler would be a massive win for humanity, practically guaranteeing that Neptune would fall under the rule of its rightful owner.
While should they fail despite all the preparations they had made… It was safe to say that any hope of liberating the planet would be extinguished. It was all or nothing.
Thub! Thub! Thub!
In unison the hearts of the soldiers began to beat in anticipation.
Bzzzz!
