[Sir Modemkill, Cyborg!]

Modem sat in his citadel, calmly watching as his fleet was slowly decimated by the combined forces of the many races of this quadrant of space.

"Yes...a little closer...that's it..."

As the enemy advanced, Modem tapped his metallic fingers impatiently off the side of his chair.

"Now..."

It was time, James brought a screen online, the picture showed a strange alien, a kind of insect creature, but with human proportions.

"The time has come high chancellor, to prove your worth."

Modem spoke with an arrogant grin, there were the Ilath, a species from a quadrant of space far, far away that Modem and the CCM had long ago conquered, these people were subjugated to his will, for he held their queen in captivity, they hated Modem, despised him, but they served him, for fear of their queen, who'm they depended on for their survival as a race.

"Your will shall be done..." The hatred seethed in the creatures voice, then the screen went black once more.


In space, above the planet, the battle raged on, but suddenly, all around the planet, eight very large machines appeared, which had obviously been cloaked beforehand, another of Modem's stolen and reverse engineered technologies, eight huge space stations, spaced evenly around the planet, they came online with an eerie green glow, and suddenly, a large, powerful shield was raised around the entire planet.



Meanwhile, behind the enemy, ships began dropping out of hyperspace, they looked like they were popping into existence, with a bright white light, the Ilath had arrived, and were opening fire on the Human and Shadow fleets from behind, their ships were massive, well armed and armored, they were practically floating fortresses, with weapons technology far superior to anything else on the battlefield.





Modem smiled as he watched this happen. Now the Humans and Shadow creatures were trapped between a powerful shield, and an enemy at their back, not to mention his own forces, that were still engaged in the fighting up there.

He had no doubt that they would eventually break through the shield, it was strong, but not invincible, but not before taking a great deal of damage and loss.

"Your move..." Modem said with a smile.
