Underneath the advanced darkness of the Dark Forest's sky, HawkFrost was perched on one of its lifeless trees, hooking up a satellite onto its branches. A long, gray wire was connected to it, plugged into the old, brown soil.

"HawkFrost, what are you doing?" TigerStar growled, seeing his useless son doing something stupid, again.

"Father!" HawkFrost turned and looked down at TigerStar, excitement in his ice-blue eyes, "I have a plan to bring living cats into the dark forest!"

"Uh-huh." TigerStar responded doubtfully, "And what would this plan be?"

"Well, you see, I have heard of this thing called '5G internet', it's a popular thing in the living world." HawkFrost explained. "I thought if we brought it down here, then we could get more cats to join us."

"And how is '5G internet' supposed to help my plans?!" TigerStar growled

"Here's the thing, father: it's free 5G internet. The living cats won't be able to resist! If there was free prey in the forest, you would take it, wouldn't you?" he smirked

"I suppose…" TigerStar dug his claws into the soil, but then he yowled, "But that makes them weak! What good is a cat who doesn't work for themselves! Weakness is something I cannot allow here, HawkFrost! We are not making kittypets out of warriors!"

"I thought you might say that," HawkFrost replied, "That is why they will only get access to it after training. It provides more motivation, you see. We don't even have to tell them about it. Think of it as a…perk, for joining our cause."

"Is getting stronger not enough!"

"It is, Father, but you see, not every cat has the ambitious mind we possess." HawkFrost responded, finishing up his work installing the 5G internet satellite. He jumped down from the tree to join his father's side. TigerStar looked at the finished project: a dark gray object the shape of the waning moon, with a long white stick jutting from the middle, its top in the starless sky.

"So what does it do now?" TigerStar turned towards his mostly useless son, his amber eyes staring deeply into HawkFrost

"That's the, um, thing, Father. I have ordered the supplies we need, but they won't come for some time. The process is currently backlogged." HawkFrost unfortunately explained, turning his head away.

"So you installed some worthless twoleg..THING into my forest for no good reason?" TigerStar growled, disturbingly quiet.

"O-of course not!" HawkFrost stuttered. "Now that we have 5G internet, I could use this to block out any cats from having signs from StarClan! They won't be able to warn the clans of our attack!"

"Hm.." TigerStar thought of this. "It's alright, I guess." he turned to walk away.

HawkFrost purred with pride. "Thank you Father! In time this will become one of our greatest achievements. To bide our time, I've got BrokenStar making cookies." He flicked his tail towards a previously unseen oven, a blazing fire could be seen within its glass window.

TigerStar groaned. "And why is this important? And why BrokenStar, of all cats?"

"Like the 5G internet, it provides motivation for our trainees. It may be a small reward, yes, but it is to bide our time until I can fully install all the perks that come with 5G internet." HawkFrost pointed out

"So why BrokenStar?" TigerStar asked again

"BrokenStar told me of how he died, and I thought: We could put deathberries in these cookies to give to living cats who oppose us! With the scent of all the different ingredients, they wouldn't be able to tell that it was even poisoned!" HawkFrost declared, clearly proud of his plan. BrokenStar nodded as if he approved, and went back to staring up at space.

"Yeah, whatever." TigerStar had enough of this stupid dirt. "Just remember that YOU'RE in charge of training these cats! If your 'perks' fail, then you're out." then he hissed, "Understand?"

"Y-yes Father. I won't let you down!" HawkFrost promised

"You have already. Just try not to mess up again." And with that TigerStar left, leaving HawkFrost to finish up with his new plans.
