How will the People of Azeroth Deal with an entirely new branch of Humanity, one with advanced technology that rivals anything seen by both the Alliance and the Horde.

Authors Note: I was jamming out to 'sweating bullets' and 'peace sells but who's buying' by Megadeth to help 'inspire' me for the various themes presented throughout this chapter.

ErnestShippinglane89:

Nice. Again with the sound effects though. I hope to see more of Kaja.

Don't worry, i am amending my worst writing sin by removing them from subsequent updates... my greatest sin is believing that people cannot imagine sounds :(

Jonathinstuart:

I love this story.

When people say that they not only like but love my story is when i generally know that i have been doing something right as a write-r... hehe that ryhmes ;)

Guest Reviews:

I want to see that daly routine and a Orc having to learn dental care or learning in a modern if I recall the highest ranking officer (if there are multiple of the same rank it's the logest time of high rank) represents the prisoners to the camp commandant.

Don't worry, i wouldn't have placed in routines and other things if i was not going to show them off in some manner. that way i can show off 'historical events' that lead up to the 'great mistake' of Civilisation: Beyond Earth, which will shock the Horde members.

Wonder what would happen if a local found a resource pod?maybe one with culter artifacts land in Westfall with concepts frome the age of revolutions such as the works of Voltaire,Hobbes,Karl Marx,Adam Smith and the decleration of independance.

I must admit Guest that you have caught me with my pants down... i totally forgot about the resource pods but i will definitely be adding them in subsequent chapters.


Chapter 8a: 'Advisory meeting'

Suzanne couldn't help but grin again. Why?

Because not only had her 'agents' brought her back important information related to the aliens, but now they managed to steal other vital information from the Slavic Federation. They managed to steal the Khrabrost's sensor readings whilst at the same time they were untraceable, so the Slavic Federation would never know unless Suzanne told them of what had happened.

With such important information at hand, she summoned for her six advisor's to meet in her quarters, and now they were here at her desk.

"Advisor's, i have called you here to discuss how best we should utilize this knowledge that we have gained" Suzanne then brought out her wrist and activated the desk's holopad which brought up a three dimensional model of the planet. "As we all no doubt know this is the exo-planet Kepler-186f. what you may not know however is that my 'agents' have managed to 'confiscate' certain scanner readings from the Slavic Federations seed vessel... and when i combine the two readings like so" Suzanne then added in the new data to the holopad, causing a new reddish-purple outline to appear over certain parts of the globe. "As you can no doubt see, these reddish-purple outlines are areas rich in certain ores... these are hotspot's of resource rich areas and we must claim them, this is where the information we gained from earlier comes in. my idea is that if these resource sites are claimed then perhaps we could buy off the land in exchange for certain amenities, namely technology or perhaps firearms similar to how our ancestors dealt with native american's. If they, the aliens do not comply then they will have to be removed from their territory, by force if need be. What i really want to know is if any of you will object to my decision?"

Thomas Riddley the environmental advisor as well as Derric Moreno the advisor of science both spoke outright about the horrible plan.

"Surely you would understand my objection to you violating several human rights sanctions just for mineral wealth, perhaps instead we could offer to exchange some of the resources that we mine in exchange for being able to set up machinery and work the aliens land" spoke Thomas Riddley.

The advisor of commerce, Clarence Robinson spoke up in retaliation. "And then we could... would lose potential profits when the aliens decide to steal our technology, perhaps give them a few years and they build similar adaptations to our equipment and then we would have a rival competition, i will not be letting that happen. better the aliens be forced off their land then to have competition for the ARC, because then we would have to hunt them down and that would be a nightmare scenario for all involved parties especially for public relations when we have to tell the people why we had to bomb a civilian population"

"Madam, have you learned nothing of the reasons why we had to leave our planet in the first place... this is not some business proposition miss, these are people you are talking about" As soon as those words left Derric Moreno's lips, a new voice emerged to defend Suzanne, the voice belonged to Major General Dexter Cook, the advisor for war.

"These are not some people Moreno, these are an unknown brand of alien species and if they plan on fucking with the ARC then it will be me and my boys responsibility to educate 'them' in the stupidity of their narrow-minded alien ways"

At that response, Derric Moreno quickly stepped up from his chair and began to leave the room but not before issuing one final warning. "Madam do as you wish to this planet... but if the colonists find out about whatever happens to these aliens, you will find yourself with no support from myself and believe me that the Colonists will find out eventually... they would not stand for such a stomping on the declaration of human rights"

Upon his leaving, Clarence Robinson spoke up from within the room. "Good heavens, i thought he would never leave. if that egghead wanted to join a charity group he should have joined the red-cross. we are here not only because we are the greatest and brightest of humanity but because this will be the greatest business venture in our lifetime... i suggest we use the opportunity and claim this planet's resources for ourselves as quickly as possible if only to stop the other civs from claiming them at a later date"

At that Dexter offered up his agreement. "Agreed, we should occupy those areas as soon as possible so that they can be as well defended as possible for when the other civs arrive... and they will be arriving"

Thomas Riddley decided to quit the meeting like his fellow friend the advisor for science. "I know how this is going to turn out Madam, but if you have any dignity Suzanne, then at least have as little environmental impact as possible. you know what happens when you fuck up the environment, Look at earth as an example... because that is my warning to you" at that last statement Thomas Riddley left the room.

Suzanne decided to adjourn the meeting as well, she herself had to decide where to land the seed ship and she wanted it in an area as close to the largest resource-rich areas as possible, so Suzanne spoke up. "All in favor, say aye"

All the remaining advisor's lifted up their palms and said aye... Suzanne had the confidence that her company could become the main fiscal force on the whole planet, provided her opponents did not screw around with her plans.

"Meeting adjourned. once i find a spot to land this ship i will be relying on your aid to set up the colony as quickly as possible so that we can devote all our resources to mineral extraction and industrial development. diligence, hardwork and attention to detail... that is my motto"


Chapter 8b: Rote learning

-Three days after Chapter 7-

Koto was stunned again at the imagery. he had learned a great deal about this brand of humans, first was that they did not enjoy practical jokes, or at least the soldiers didn't enjoy practical jokes. second was that they valued cleanliness and thirdly was that apparently they had an insatiable lust with destroying their own kind as was demonstrated by the magic screens that they forced everyone to watch for hours on end.

Koto began to watch the scene on the magic screen. there were two people talking in between the scene that showed the outskirts of a city block.

"This is David here. we have received word that the Chinese military are ramping up their response to the terrorist attack following the dirtybomb crisis in Canton in the Guangdong province, i am being told that the Chinese government view the Iranian's as being solely responsible... joining me live from Baghdad will be military correspondent William Patterson... William Patterson can you please tell me just what might occur within the Chinese response"

"We have received confirmation just two hours ago that they have sent off their strategic bombers with the possible intent of causing a 'shock and awe' campaign over Iranian airspace, i am not sure of it will be successful but this action has heightened the alertness of the European and American interests in the middle east..."

Koto saw as the visual feed of the city was cut off as a bright flash occurred for a second that was followed by a large purple screen with large written letters that Koto could not understand.

"David are you there! come in David!"

"Cut the transmission damn it..."

Koto then saw as a single human male began to talk to the viewers.

"We have just received reports of large flashes emerging from Tehran and Kabul... we have reason to believe that the Chinese government has just dropped tactical thermonuclear ordinance in retaliation for the terrorist dirtybomb strike that struck Canton last thursday. David, our journalist who worked for BTX news for 18 years was filming in the epicentre of the blast during the sudden Chinese nuclear response on Iran and Afghanistan, we ask that our viewers please offer one minute of silence in respect for David and his family who will be shocked by the news"

If anything this scene just proved a certain point and that point was that this brand of humanity was certainly scarier than the Alliance variant because these ones had developed weapons that could drop flame magic from the air onto cities and that the common man had the ability to kill things from a large distance with ease, this made even the other rowdier horde members compliant whilst they were here, they did not want to incite the humans into setting them on fire or exploding them into thousands of bite sized pieces.

Life amongst these humans was surprisingly easy, the food they were provided with was quite delicious if Koto would say so, and Koto never remembered being any cleaner his whole life.

What was unexpected however was the moment when a human soldier walked into the room and shouted out in fairly good common.

"Prisoners, line up and follow me"


Chapter 8c: Raided and angry (encounter with the wildlife part 1)

Kozlov was not happy. he had just received word that several colonist's had been kidnapped by horse like creatures and he would not have it, Kozlov was willing to engage his opponents free of any negative thoughts upon learning that his opponents where Centaurs and where unlikely to respond to any sort of diplomatic approach, similar to certain human elements like earth's past fundamentalist groups like ISIS. Kozlov reigned his anger in check before he quickly pulled out his radio and dialed in to the quartermaster.

"Belov Vladimirovich... prepare the ATV's and Tacjets for war, i want all refueled and the Tacjets armed with munitions. we have just been attacked... inform all soldiers to meet up in the hanger, bring the prisoners with them as i will have an important announcement to make"

Kozlov returned the Radio back to his pocket before he quickly rushed off to his quarters to don his uniform as well as his ceramic bullet-resistant vest, then Kozlov placed his ceramic helmet over his head before confirming that his night vision goggle's worked. When done Kozlov walked over to his personal lock-box where he retrieved his 7.62×33mm Brasilian special Vindicator carbine, he would be going aboard one of the ATV's to ensure that everything was running smoothly.

Kozlov returned to a soldier filled hanger. ATV's were being refueled and ammunition crates were being placed inside whilst other crew members where busy attaching or loading rockets and missiles to the Tacjet drones. to the side of the room where lined up the horde prisoners, who were visibly shocked by what was happening, no doubt thanks to the hours of shown military footage that Kozlov showed them to make them fear the Slavic Federation and the other arriving colonist programs.

Kozlov quickly walked over to the small podium inside the room to speak to the crowd. at first he spoke specifically in Russian, but then he deliberately repeated what he had said in English so that most of the horde members would be able to understand what was being said.

"All of you may be wondering why i have called you here, well let me explain why... we, the Slavic Federation have been defiled by a band of vicious alien marauders called centaurs. this is no joke for they are actual centaurs and i am under my own personal obligation to extend to them the Slavic Federations response to what happens when you dare to make slaves of our peoples. I am lead to believe that these centaurs will attack us in various stages and at different parts of our city, so we are going to scout out our immediate perimeters repeatedly. I am giving all soldiers permission to engage all enemy centaur targets that you happen to find for the duration of this mission, Tacjet operators have that same freedom with their ordinance provided that you have no visual on captive colonists within the enemy hands and that you are at no risk of inflicting collateral damage... we move out in five"

Kozlov then began to offer an address to the horde members. "Members of the horde, i have heard that your kind have fought against these centaurs for years and that the Tauren have fought against them for many scores of years. I am offering several members the opportunity to earn 'bonuses' during your stay here in exchange for aiding us in our endeavor to finding and stopping these advancing foes... I am asking for those among you who promote the ideas of eternal gratitude and kindness amongst the races by coming forth to aid us in our time of need"

At the offer of a reward a few of the horde members stepped forwards, whilst others where more cautious but they too stepped forwards at the opportunity to bring cull the centaur population.

Kozlov walked up to each horde member who volunteered and he offered up his gratitude. Kozlov then spotted a familiar figure amongst the volunteers, it was the purple Troll that he had encountered not long after the engagement with the horde dissidents, the one who was tear-gassed.

"You, come with me"

"Ya want me mon" spoke the Troll who pointed his thumb to himself.

"Yes i do. i remember you and i want you on my team, you will be of great help. and by your actions you would even be aiding the horde to combat the menace of these centaurs"

When Kozlov was sure that five minutes were up, he quickly began to approach his designated ATV combat rover, the Troll followed behind him.

Kozlov had no idea on the eyesight ability of trolls, so he felt it might be wise to gift the Troll with a set of night vision goggles that were held out on one of the steel grid plating on one of the sides of the ATV.

"Here, hold out your head for me please" Kozlov then presented the night vision goggle so as to entice the troll.

When the troll kneeled down and presented his head so that it was level with Kozlov. Kozlov then secured the night vision goggle around the trolls head, although it took some effort given the differences of anatomy.

"What dis do?" Kozlov saw that the hanger was too bright to activate the night vision goggles yet without screwing with the trolls vision. "Wait and see, i think you will be quite surprised, or maybe not because you people are able to summon flames from your hands"

At that, the troll decided to offer his own bit to Kozlov. "who has da need for da fire magic from your hands when ya can just drop it from da sky like your people do"

Kozlov quickly opened the door to the ATV and motioned for the troll to get in, but it was a tight fit given how tall the troll was and it would be cramped for Kozlov, but he would be fine. Kozlov then began to fit himself inside of the ATV before closing the door before securing the trolls seatbelt and then doing his own.

"General, permission to listen to music sir?"

Kozlov knew that listening to music could wind down a soldier's frustrations, so he nodded his head in agreement.

"Awesome. hey Slava what have you got in this box?" spoke Filipp Stepanovich to his friend Vladislav Tarasovich, the soldier riding shotgun who gave his reply back. "I got Russian dethcore, classical thrash music and Norwegian viking and melodic folk-metal" as soon as Filipp heard the options he laughed before giving his reply. "Lets introduce the troll to viking metal... you know those songs about putting swords in people and drinking mead and stuff like that"

"Oh shit no Filya, if we introduce these aliens to viking metal... they would start burning down everything in sight!" spoke a sarcastic Vladislav.

"Start it up already dammit, i wanna show this troll how we rock it on earth!"

Kozlov could not help but facepalm himself... Azeroth was about to be introduced to viking metal songs and that was a scary thought for Kozlov... but also a rather interesting one as well that brought upon the hint of a cheeky smile to Kozlov's face.
