This time Roid is hit by a bit of irony. Oh, poor boy...
Take 2: Not the Song He Was Expecting
Finally! Finally Roid had the Star Singer, AKA Mikumo Guywhatever, in his hands, and hooked up the Sigur Valens. Thanks to the words his family had preserved until now he could control her, and had made her complete the mighty ship of the Protoculture. Now he would-
"Have the children of this planet renounced war?" a voice echoed in the chamber.
"Are you serious?!" Mikumo asked back, surprised at the question.
"The command of the Unified Forces has released a statement about the recent devastation of Windermere at the hands of their own flagship." the news anchor said on the Galactic Network. "The Unified Command has revealed that the Sigur Valens is actually a warship of the Protoculture, whose discovery and regulation-mandated attempted dismantling by the Windermere Garrison triggered the Windermerean Rebellion.
"The Valens was recently brought at peak efficiency with the addition of a Bird Human component, but that triggered the Protoculture's security system, that would release advanced technology if the local population had renounced war before achieving spaceflight or bomb it back into stone age, as it indeed happened on Windermere. This is specifically why Unified Force regulations mandates the dismantling and destruction of any advanced Protoculture weapon system, and why the late general Gunther Reinhardt, commanding the Unified Forces on Windermere until his death, used his own authority to deploy the fold that killed him and large parts of his command in the attempt to destroy the ship.
"The Valens was ultimately brought down by a combined effort of the Tactical Sound Force Walkure, whose songs interfered with the Valens' shield, and the Vordor Garrison, whose heavy variable bomber units physically destroyed the ship. The initial relief effort is scheduled to make planetfall tomorrow at 700, galaxy standard time."
